Correspondence
A portion of Prof. Persons many
friends gave him very agreeable sur
prise Tuesday evening of last week, by
way of donation party. To say that
the Prof. was well worthy of such and
more, but family shadows the fact, as
all who know him will cheerfully bear
evidence. 1t is to be regretted that
the invitation was not general.
Miss Gable gave another entertain
ment, to a crowded house, last We'd
nesday evening. She is certainly wor-
thy of generous patronage, and we
understand that elsewhere, as well as
here, her subsequent entertainments
are the best patronized.
The Olive Branches gave public
entertainment at the Chapel last Fri
day evening. The programme was
most excellently arranged, consisting
of vocal and instrumental music, es-
says, recitations and oratiOns. The
whole performance manifesting great
culture, skill and talent. Criticism
was put at bay, and for grace, accom-
plishments and beauty the Olive
Branches challenge the world-or
rather, your correspondent does for
them. III.

A Cure for Small P0x.

A Paris physician says: "I here
with append u recipe which has been
used to my knowledge in hundreds of
cases. 1t will prevent or Gre the
smallpox. though the pittings are fill
ing. When Jenner discovered cow
pex in England, the world of science
hurled an avalanche of fame upon his
head, but wheA the most scientific
school of medicine in the word-that
of Paris-published this recipe as a
panacea for smallpox it passed un-
needed. 1t is as unfailing as fate, and
conquers in every instance. 1t is
harmless when taken by well person.
1t will also cure scarlet fever. Here is
the recipe as [ have used it, and cured
my children of scs"let fever here it is
rs I have used it to cure the small -pox;
when lear, ed physicians said the pa.
tient mast die, it cured: Sulphate of
zine, one grain fox xglOve (digitalis), one
grain; half Il teaspoonful of sugar !;
mix with two tablespOOnfuls of water.
When thoroughly mixed, add four
ounces of water, Take a spoonful ev-
cry hour. Either disease will disap-
pear in twelve hOu 8. For child,
smaller doses. according to age. If
countries would compel their physi-
clans to use this, there would be no
need of pest-hOuses. If you value adj
vice and experience, use this for that
terrible disease"

stick to the Old Home,

1t is somewhat remarkable that SO
many men who own good farms. and
are generally "well fixed" cannot
content themselves to remain upon
them, but must seek new homes in
new countries, where they must go
through the same hardships and pri-
vations that they did here before they
can make their surroundings any thing
like as pleasant and comfortable as
those they lie. We behind. But men are
restless and never satisfied with their
conditions in life. They must have q
change. The disregard of the old rule
of I" let well enough alone,". and the
very common re.ult of changing loca-
tiors, is disappointed expectations and
financial disaster. New men are COM
ing in to take their places, but it looks
a little strange that those who are best
prepared to enjoy life in comfort are
the the ones who are willing to trough
it' for several years before they will
become as we'll situated in life as they
are here.-[Coshocton Democrat.

AN ACCEPTABLE GIFT.-On Satur-
day last MIR. Daniel Stout was sitting
in the cars of the G.. & p. Railroad at
Alliance, Ell route to his home in this
village, when a young woman ap-
preached him and holding out her
child, requested him to hold it short
time, which he readily and politely
consented to do. AS the woman turned
to leave she said to Stout, You may
keep the child don't want it," He
saw no more of the unnatural mother,
but returned on the train TO his home,
bringing with him the fine, healthy
girl baby, and is much pleased with
his gift, declaring that he would not
part with it for thousand dollars.

Excursion to Cleveland.

1t is a matter for cOngratulation that
the Ravenna people are to have an oP-
portunity, with SO much economy and
comfort, to attend the performance of
-" Virginius" by Mr.. John Mccullough
in Cleveland, on the 18th inst. Man.
ager l.. G. Hanna, of the Euclid Ave
nue. Opera House. has arranged to haye
excursion tickets sold on the day of
Feb. 18th, good on any train going to
Cleveland, and returning after the
performance, at the exceedingly mod
crate rate of 81 so including reserved
seat at the Opera House. The low
rate and the privilege of going on all
trains will no doubt be taken advan-
tagc of. Mr.. Mccullough is so well
known to our citizens that we will not
make comments.

The cdd Fellows SOCia b @ 4.

The Sociable announced in last
week's issue of the PRESS, to be held
last Friday evening, was, like the for
mer, a most pleasant affair.
Supper was dispensed with, so that
each had full command Of all his time
the entire evening at dancing and
social pastime. There were even more
present than before, for all the rooms
were occupied, while the large tables
were stored away.
The music by Messrs. Chafree, Wal
Ter and Humphrey, was highly appre-
ciated, and the dancers eagerly utilized
the lively strains on the newly waxed
floor.
The company amused itself until
nearly the hour of twelve, when it
dispersed, each person apparently well
satisfied with his share Of enjoyment.
Amusements, in the language of the
Psalmist, are 1.-THE wells of the desert"
to the depressed spirit of man. They
are therefore conducive to our happi-
ness, and the more happiness we enjoy
here the more we are elevated in the
scale of our existence, which can be
no detriment here or hereafter, Then
let us be merry while we may, the
end will come without our bidding.

Johnson, nee Thalia Kirk, formerly of
