The United States Mint in this

In a few years they viii entirely

PINK-EYE IN HORSES. DR.. g..
Z. Page writes to the editor of the
Boston Medical and Surgical Jour
nal as follows: "The custom of
wosking or exercising horses direct
" after eating of feeding them di-
rectly after hard work and before
they are thoroughly rested batting
at noon when both these violations
of q natural law are committed
these are the predisposing causes of
pink-eye, and Of most diseases that
aalict our horses. Keep the horses
quiet, dry warm and in a pure at
mosphere. The nearer outdoor air
the better, and stop his feed entirely
at the first symptom Of disease and
he will speedily recover. AS proven
tion is better than cure, horsemen
will do well to heed the hint here
given, and keep their animals from
contracting this or any other all
ment. 1t has been demonstrated in
tens of thousands Of cases, in family
life, that two meals are not only am
pie for the hardest and most ex-
hausting labors, physical and men
tai, but altogether best. The same
thing has been fully proved in hum
dreds of instances with horses, and
has never in a single instance failed,
after a fair trial, to work the best
results.

GOOD APPLE JELLY.--A lady cor
respondent sends the following
which may interest many house
wives at this season: \ beautiful
and delicious jelly may be made Of
any sour red apples, such as Spitzen-
bergs, BaldWins, or Northern Spy's.
Wash, quarter, and core without
pairing, and cook until the whole
mass has red tinge and is soft.
Pour into q colander, drain off the
juice, and run it through a jelly-bag.
Boil again half an hour. Measure,
and to every three cups Of juice al
low two cups Of sugar, and boil
again fifteen minutes. If highly
favored jelly is liked, lemon or va
nilla may be added before it is turn
ed into the cups. Most jelly recipes
give an equal measure Of sugar and
fruit juice, but in making jelly OF
winter apples I have found two OF
sugar to three Of fruit give good.

LOVERS Of the grape, and those
engaged in the culture of that de-
lectable fruit, will regret to learn of
the destruction that is being
wrought by the phylloxera. This
insect, less in size than the head of
a pin, is native Of America, and,
like all products of this country, be-
lieving in universal distribution of
enterprising talent, has made its
way to France and undertaken to
lay its vineyards in waste. So far,
it is said, this leaf shriyeler has
damaged vine culture in that
country to the extent of over bill
lion of dollars.

A CALLED meeting of the council
was held Wednesday evening to act
upon the report of the Light Com
mittee, and to pass a number of bills
carried over from last meeting. The
committee was continued with
power to act, and it is now thought
that definite arrangements will be
made for lighting up the town with
but little delay. This is a matter
that should receive the prompt ac-
ton of the council, as the citizens of
the town feel that they are asking
but what is due, and the necessities
require, that the town should be
lighted.

what to Wear.

Every lady knows whether she wants
new dress. Ifshe does want one the
only question not settled in her mind,
is what kind Of material she shall get,
and how she shall have it trimmed.
This is the ruling question, She may
purchase the finest material, but lift is
not fashionable and is DOT trimmed in
the latest style, her money is partly
thrown away. Now, we make it q
special study in our business to get the
latest styles Of dress goods and trim
mings to suit. There Is nos much
change in dress material this fall.
Plain goods will be worn almost en-
tirely We mention shuda cloths,
cashmeres, Gresler cloths, French Taf-
feties, and Flannels. Malsuse cloths, as
being the most fashionable. We have
the above goods in all the late shades.
There is more change in trimmings
Plush, velvets, are very late, Plain and
Brocade silks and satins viii still be
very popular An entiro new thing in
trimmings is worsted and silk braid,
which tastefully arranged have splen-
did effect. Sutton loops arc also new
take immensely, and no dress will
be handsomely trimmed without them.
We have the above trimmings in all
the shades. When you come 10 town
if you will call we win with pleasure
show you through our stock. Reset

The Kendall Troupe.

The Kendall troupe left Saturday light
for Sioux Falls, after playing an engage
ment here OF three nights to fair houses.
The opening play was Jane Eyre, Or, The
Orphan OF Lowood, Fridays play was A
Cup of Tea, and Joshua Wh:tcomb, and
Saturdays play Forget Me Not, all Of
which were finely played and elected com
ment and appreciation from the audience.
Mrs Kcndall's acting is, to say the least,
of the highest order, has endeared herself
to all, and can rest assured that a cordial
welcome will always be extended to her
and husband who have done all in their
power to give us nothing but standard
plays and which were produced by a good
troupe. The acting of Miss Alice New
man in all three plays was truly exquisite
and is rapidly making her mark. The
same may be said of Mr.. N. J. Holmes,
or in fact of the whole troupe. The Or
chestra and brass band is fine one, in
fact the best ever played before the foot
lights of Canton audience. 1t has been
demonstrated that Cantou appreciates tai
ent and will turn out and patronize some
thing which is worthy. We are glad Of
this. Let us only support the troupes
which are worthy and discourage every
thing that is not, and the result will be
that good shows will visit us the second
time.
