Change of wall Locks.

On October 1st the Postoilice Depal tment
will substitute a new general lock fol-
those now in use. The new lock, which is
made of corrugated steel, is lighter, strong
er, and safer than that now in use, and is
manufactured by the Smith & Egge Lock
Company, of Connecticut For severa
months Il number of clerks in the mai
equipment division of the Postoillce De
partment have been testing the new locks
and keys, and distributing them through
out the country. Fifty thousand keys
were sent out to postmasters and othel
persons authorized to hold them, in sepa
rate registered letters, and the efficiency o.
the registry system is shown by the fac
that they were all properly delivered
When the receipts for the keys had beer
returned, 100000 were distributed among
the heads of star routes, the termini o
railway routes, and repositories. The
work has just been completed and the new
lock will go into use October 1st. Th'
change in mail locks is made but once il
ten years.

The constable of Franklin township on
Monday morning. reported road in that
township as being in bad condition. After
learning the facts Judge Elwell made the
following remarks
Where road has been for long time
in bad condition, the law presumes that
the public officers have notice of that fact.
Their office imposes upon them the duty
OF making such examination occasionally as
will put them in possession of knowledge
as to the condition Of the road If an ac-
cident happens to the road by severe
rain or by any unforeseen cause, the super
visor would not be responsible without
notice, unless he left the road too long in
that state; if he did, then the law would
presume that he had notice. If this road
Opened some four years ago and nearly
mile long, is so narrow that it is impossi.
bic for two teams to pass (having but
two and perhaps insufficient, turnouts),
then the needs of the public are not met
The supervisor will consider this return q
sufficient notice, and the constable who
makes it (Mr. ManharD may inform him
that it is the opinion of the court that there
should be more convenient turnouts upon
that road AS to the supervisor turning

Notice to Subscribers Outside the
County.

About two weeks ago statements were
sent out to every subscriber outside Of the
county who owes anything on subscription
Up to to this time but very few have re-
sponded. AS we have to pay postage on
all such papers we must insist on "a compli
sncc with our terms which are strictly in
advance. We cannot afford to pay the pos
tage on the papers, send several bills and
pay postage on them, and then run the risk
OF losing the subscription money besides.
Our request is but fair, and as very few
have complied with it, we are forced to
give notice that all papers going outside of
the county that are not paid for by October
10th will be stopped. We dislike to print
duns in the paper, but when our private
requests are ignored there is no other al
tentative.

Butler, N. Y. Feb. 25, 's2.
Gents--I wish to express my apprecia-
ton of your wonderful remedy for the cure
of rheumatism, dyspepsia and general de-
bility. / have been great sufferer from
that terrible disease--rheumatism - for
more than year, and could get no rest or
relief day or night for the whole time.
Like almost everybody else similarly afilict.
ed, tried many different remedies, and
consulted number of physicians. But
getting only temporary relief from any of
these sources, almost despaired of ever
again being restored to my normal condi-
ton, and once more free from pain. AT
this time, hearing so many recommend
your Rheumatic Syrup as an infalliblc cure
for rheumatism, and knowing that they
had been troubled the same rs myself and
were now permanently cured by the use of
your remedy, i was inspired by their un-
bounded faith in its healing powers, ard
resolved TO test its efficacy in my own case;
and the result of it all is that after taking
four bottles, my rheumatism had all disap-
pcared, and now, thanks to your Rheumat-
ic Syrup. feel like a new man, and cheer
fully recommend the Rheumatic Syrup to
all who are suffering with rheumatism.
