What True Merit VIII DO.

The unprecedented sale of Boschee's Ger
man Syrup within few years, has astonished
the world. 1t is without doubt the safest and
best remedy ever discovered for the speedy
and efectual cure of coughs, colds. and the
the severest lung troubles. 1t acts on an en-
tirely different principle from the usual pre.
scriptlons given by physicians, as it does not
dry up cough and leave the disease still in
the system, but on the contrary removes the
cause of the trouble, heals the parts affected
and leaves them in a purely healthy condi-
tiou. A bottle kept in the house for use
when these diseases make their appearance,
will save doctors bill. and long spell OF
serious illness. A trial will convince YOU OF
these facts. 1t is positively sold by all drug
gists and general dealers in the land. Price
10 cents, large bottles.

COAL DISCO VERED.
By Whom, Mineral Coal was Discov.
 cred im Northern Ohio.

In the year 1872 Deacon Elizur Wright. native of South Canaan, and father of the late Elizur Wright of Boston, the well known actuary and abolitionist, emigrated to Ohio and set tied in the town of Talmadge, on the Western Reserve. I we'll remember seeing the canvass covered wagons, and OK teams, when about to start on their long journey. In the year 1927 I spent few weeks at the house of Deacon Wright, in Talmadge. He asked me to go with him to one of his fields where ne had just discovered mineral coal. and had taken out fur or five cart loads. As remember, the coal did not crop out but came within ten feet of the sur face. This was the first discovery oi coal, on the Reserve. The output is now said to be one million tons annually.
 Nearly one hundred years ago, Dea con Wright planted mulberry trees on his farm in South Canaan, and when they were grown he began raising silk worms. When a lad, some seventy five years ago, I used to look on in wonder to see his daughters winding the deli. cate threads, by the aid of wheel, from | the cocoons.
 Deacon Wright's ancestors and my own were among the first settlers of the town of Canaan I have now in my possession deed of "one fifty third part of the town of Canaan, given to Samuel Robbins of Weathersfeld, and dated at New London in January, 1737. consideration, s53, 1Os," The old farm, where his son Samuel settled in 173S, is still owned by Samue!
