SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT.

We take pleasure in announcing
that we have perfected arrangements
with the publishers of the American
Farmer that enable us to club that
magazine with the FOREST REPUBLI.
CAN at the low price Of S1.75 per year,
triAe over the price Of the RELUBL1-
CAN alone. This is beyond question:
the first time that a reliable agricul.
tural paper has been offered at so cheap
price, and we trust all our subscribers
will avail themselves of this unusual
opportunity of securing first class
agricultural magazine. The Ameri-
can Farmer is beyond doubt worth
three times the price, at which we
place it. Try it. l: is a monthly
publication.

Doctors DISAGREE.

AS a reporter for the Pittsburgh Com
mercial Gazette sat yesterday afternoonl
in chamber at No. 32l Federal Street AL
legheny, listening to a terrible tale Of suR
erings as it fell from the lips of a gentle
little lady, Mrs. Milo Iogran, the daughter
of Capt. Hugh McKelvey, of this city, it
seemed almost too much TO believe, if the
evidence had not been close at hand 10
substantiate evry word. 1t was but the
evidence OF the culpable Ignorance of
large class of practitioners of medicine
wh1 claimed for six years that hr terrible
disease was cancer. Sine was covered with
ulcers, given up to die. Peruna cured her
perfectly. Continued on page "a, in "Ills
of Life.' by DIR. Hartman. Ask your

destroying large amount Of goods.
Mr.. Arner lost COW and a valuable
blooded bull. The rest of the citizens
lost more or less of household articles.
AT EAST HICKORY.
The loss was rather heavy, yet when
taken into consideration the immense
amount of lumber and timber banked
there, it was perhaps not so great as
might have been expected. We did
not learn the amount each party lost,
but understand that 100000 feet of
lumber, and $4,000 feet Of square tim

100000 feet Of boards which had been
RATED since last spring. Sam'l Clark,
of this place, lost about $4,000 feet Of
hemlock boards which be had piled
there.
CLARION RIVER,
We learn that the food made q
clean sweep of everything along the
Clarion river, and that the losses there
were simply awful; many Of the lum
bermen Of that section are citizens o
this county. Wewill try and have {
report from there next week.
Much of the loss in lumber viii
doubtless fall on the jobbers who hac
contracted to deliver in Pittsburgh
which will be severe stroke to som
Of them.
The flood was widespread in its des
truction, reaching from the source q
the Allegheny and all of ito tributa
ries to its mouth, aud far down tb
Ohio into the Mississippi. and frot
every quarter come the same report
of vast destruction of property an
loss of life. At Bradford, Warrel

were reported, At the latter plaC
two boys, John Pierce and Ephrai

musical talent has steadily developed, and

the city and of those thoroughly proficient

look toward Washington for material to com :
pose their operate and concert companies
before seeking elsewhere.
Although some secrecy has been main
tanned, it is known however, that quartette
