in my side for upwards of two years. have
had several physicians attending me, but de-
irving no benefit whatever from their treat
ment, and they pronounced my disease con-
sumption, and firmly believed that would
not be able to leave the house this summer

concluded to try Schroeder's Iron Tonic and
Blood Purifier. After using but three bottles
my cough and pain in my side were gone, the
color restored to my cheeks and l felt better

We saw an account of our parade here on
the End inst. We must halt the poor fellow
and ask him to tell the truth. In the first
place he had l27 in line, whilst we had by
actual count of an uninterested person, and
that Republican, 1868, and by the count of a
Democrat 35S, neither knowing of the other
count. Second, he said seven or eight houses
were Illuminated. There are ~ Democratic
families in town, and every house was lllu-
minated. Third-the torches and flags were
borrowed from Republicans said he. Torches
were purchased by all parties, as we had an
overplus of sixteen, which have been sold.
The flag that hung from one corner to the
other was loaned to us by Mr.. Thos. Bond, of
Emmittsburg. We did ask one of our business
men, Republican, to loan us q flag in his
possession to decorate our stand, but the
answer was no. Such little coincidents go
very often to show the disposition of a man,
and what he will do when he can. Fourth

Shipley-s Items.

Last Friday was like summer day, while
Saturday following was day of northeastern
storms, accompanied by heavy rainfall. The
cear-off shower, about 9 o'clock Saturday
night, which came from the southwest, was
accompanied by very high winds, which shook
many of the houses in our neighborhood. At
Mr.. John w. BARRIERS the storm seemed to
develop itself in the form of a regular cyclone,
blowing down fences, uprooting apple trees
and picking up objects along its path and car
rying them for considerable distances.
The protracted meeting at Zion Chapel was
closed on last Friday night.
Last Sunday night while returning from his

Mr.. Shipley was about entering the Nicode-

intersection of the TWO roads. The buggy
was upset and threw him and his lady friend
out, but fortunately the horse stopped, and no
damage was done to the buggy nor its occu-

The Iron Industry.

The Iron Trade Review Of Cleveland, from
a careful compilation of the reports received,
computes that within the last four weeks %
iron establishments have started up, giving
employment to u, US men. In four estab
-lishments the force has been increased by L.
$50 men; in sixteen establishments the work
ing time has been reduced to an average of
eight hours; in thirty-nine establishments the
wages have been reduced an average of II!
per cent, affecting about 10000 men, and
twenty-seven establishments have closed
down entirely, throwing out of work l2,2I5
men, These figures relate only to the iron
and steel industries.
A telegram from Pittsburg says: The
project to restrict the production of pig iron
by banking the furnaces for month or more
has been allowed to die quietly. Instead OF
further restriction, reports have been received
at the office of the Pig Iron Association, i'll
this city, to the effect that number of fur
naces will blow in during the next month.
In view of the complaints of dull trade and
low prices, the resumption of work seems
paradoxical, but it is stated that the stock on
hand is much lighter now than at any previous
time for years, and that while there is no pros
pect in the immediate future for better prices,
there is room for more iron than is piled in
the yards at present.
