Mr. John Terrell, late of Chester, Pa,
has returned to this town, where he will
again embark in the butchering business.
He will slaughter his meats here and by
wagon sell it in neighboring towns. Of

dent friend with prime steak or roast If
he desires it, lie AYERS that he has return

During or after the heavy rain storm of
Tuesday evening, a young hefer or calf,
perhaps six months old, was found mired
in the mud on Cow run, a small run II few
miles north of town. When found the an
imal had sunk in the mud nearly up to its
shoulders, and it was with difficulty that a
release was affected. When gotten out the
juvenile COW seemed to be jolly on account
of it's good fortune, and frisked around like
| a young lamb.
The bad effects OF allowing dogs to
chase rabbits at this season was shown the
| other day, when a halfgrown rabbit, all |
torn and injured by the teeth Of dogs, was
! picked up in field near town. 1t died in
a few moments after being found. Hun
dreds of these defenceless creatures are an
nually at this season slaughtered by rang
ing dogs, and left to rot where killed. We
heard of one young man who Dragged of
the splendid rabbit-hunt he had on Sunday |
last He was breaking in his young dogs.
Shame.
The management Of Wood Lawn camp
meeting, which commences, Aug. 1i:h, say |
that from present indications, the encamp-
ment will be much larger than last season. |
a much greater number of tents have been
engaged than up to the same date last year,
and the interest in it seems t" be more gen
eral Wood Lawn is one Of the pleasantest
camp meetings held. The grounds are pc
culiarly suitable, the management complete
and the campers are of the most social and
hospitable character imaginable.

We are pleased to be able to contradict
fatty, the rumor given publicity recently,
hnn nj, h,t |
nude state in the creek near town. There
is not 4 word of truth in it. Tie ramor
says, Z" a party of young women and girls
disgraced themselves and the community,
&c, near Elder & Arichs lot" Now the
truth of the matter and all there is of it,
is that two little girls, the oldest one not
twelve years of age, dressed in improviSed
bathing dresses, but dresses thoroughly COW
ering their person, bathed in the creek
north Of the old foundry wharf, in a thor
oughly secluded spot, where they would
hardly be seen in broad day light, aud they
bathed about twilight. ISn't this rumor,
somewhat like making il mountain out OF il
mole hill.
We call the especial attention of farm.

Scott Il Bro. in this ISSUE This firm has
recently been given the title of the "Farm-
ers' Friend and very properly so, as with
out the production of their mandatory,
the farmer would make ii poor out at rails
ing crops Right here we will relate little
incident which goes to prove this assertion.
A certain farmer not hundred miles from
the Court House last fall had Il piece of new
land that had just been cleared off, plowed
up for wheat, and he thought he would try
an experiment on it, On the largest part of
it he put a liberal quantity of Sure Growth,
one of the fertilizers made by the Messrs.
Scott & Bro, and the remainder he put
nothing, hoping to get from this part of the
field at least sufficient to pay for the trou-
BILE and expense of planting. The sequel
showetlshim to be wrong, however, for from
the non fertiiZed part he got actually moth
ing, not even straw enough to bed horse,
while from the other portion where the
Sure Growth had been used he reaped an
average of eleven bushels to the acre. If |
this does not speak volumes for the of
this manure, we don't know what would.
