English Reporter: No little excitement was
created at Riceville, this County. last week
by the discovery of a vein of coal six and a
half feet thick, while digging well on the
premises of T. B. Ridenour. The price of
lands in that neighborhood has increased two
hundred per cent during the last week, and
the people are wild with excitement Rice
vile is situated on the Air Line, and should
any great amount of coal be found the lands
would DE very valuable.

THAT SETTLES IT.
Brought Into Competition With the World,
the Best Carries or the Honors.

At the great Centennial Exhibition OF 1876 the
leading products OF all the branches OF the Worlds
industry were assembled at Philadelphia To carry
off prize in the face of that tremendous competi
ton q task of ordinary difficulty. Inventions
and preparations for the alienation of pain and
the cure of disease present in the greatest pos
sible variety. representing the skin and the pro-
foundest study Of the age, and it may be of vital
importance 10 you, personally. TO know that the
highest and only medal given to rubber Porous
plasters was awarded to the manufacturers Of
BENSON'S CAPCINE POROUS PLASTER. by the
following jury:
Dr. WIN. ROTH, Surgeon General. Prussian
Army.
j. H. THOMPSON, A. NJ. NJ. D., Washington,
DC.
CB WHITE, M. D., New Orleans.
ERNEST FLEISCH, N. D., Austria.
The decision was afterward confirmed BY the
medical jury at the Last Paris Exposition. Know
ing the value of such high and unbiased testimony,
the medical profession. both in the United States
and in Europe. quickly threw aside the old. slow
acting plssters they had been using. and adopted
Bensons in their regular practice. That physicians
and surgeons of the broadest regulations did this
distinctly proves the intrinsic merit OF the article.
II is no more than just to add that the average
physician of to-day is not dominated by the preju
dices which retarded the progress and modified
the successes OF his predecessors of not more than
twenty-five years ago. He accepts hints from all
quarters and Endorses and adopts demonstrated
healing agents wherever he finds them.
The right of Benson's Capcine Porous Plaster to
stand at the head OF all external applications what
soeyer, for the mitigation or cure of disease is no
longer questioned.

To Get Rid of Rats.


AT last there has been found an efsetual
way to rid ones premises of rats. 4 con-
temporary says:
Rats are wonderfully clean animals, and
they dislike tar more, perhaps, than any
thing else, for If il once gets on their jackets
they find it most difficult to remove II Now
l had heard it mentioned that pouring tar
down atfthe entrance OF their holes was
good remedy, also placing bsoken pieces Of
glass by their holes was another remedy
But these remedies are not effective
The rats may leave their old
holes and make fresh enes in other parts of
the house; they DONE, however, leave the
premises for good. l thought I would try
another experiment-one had nel heard of
before One evening 4 set large Eire-cage
rat trap, attached inside a most seductive
piece Of strongly smelling cheese, and next
morning found, 70 my satisfaction that
had succeeded in trapping q very large rat,
one OF the largest l had ever seen, which,
after had besmeared him with tar. let
loose into his fayorite run. The next night
/ tined again. and succeeded in trapping
another equally big fellow, and
served him in the same man.
ner. ] could not follow these two
tar-besmeared rats into their numerous
runs, to see what would happen; but it is
reasonable TO assume that they either sum-
moned together all the members of their
community and by their crestfallen appear
ence gave their comrades silent indications

Said publication ayers tha, the average American traveller is. all in all, a most offensive compound :tha; he dresses badly. talks loud and coarsely. and im- presses his very iil-breeding upon every one with whom he has to do. Afer a long consideration ot him, the English paper comes to the conclusion that he Is fresh and objectionable Tn every way. We have probably sent our quota of imbeciles across the water. Every year lot of illi,erates who have struck lie or hi, bonanza in pork-packing. go over the dark blue sea, lassitudinating ever, body with their loud and ill-worn clothing. their affected rehnemen, and their natural and apparent coarseness.
