CLAYTON.

Byron Rood's barn was burned about midday last Wednesday, the 25th. His little boy had been in the barn and came out saying to his mother: "The barns afre, ma, but I didn't do it. ," She went immediately to the barn and found the hay on fire up stairs She carried four pails of water and poured on it, but of no avail, it kept spreading and the men in the immediate vicinity being away from home, before she could get help there, it was too late to get anything out of it except the horse. There was room done off in front which he had fitted up for grocery store and back of that shop with work bench fitted for carpenter work. His chest of carpenters tools, which cost about $1OO, was in that. A new coal stove, table, chairs, scales and groceries, also several watches, were in the store part. Two wagons, harness, about ton of hay and a lot of farming tools were in the barn 8 good pig pen near by, all were burned. Byron esti- mates the loss fully $500 and no insur- ance. They suppose the little boy set it on fire. Byron was so far away he did not get there till it was almost burned down. . {. Hiram Curtiss, Will Green and John White went to Wood Creek the other night fishing and caught 472 bullheads, one eel weighing pounds and one snapping turtle that weighed 32 Fpounds.

Calhoun's house, and Judge Sedgwick occupies his new house on the corner. The Beers House is being thoroughly reftted, painted, etc. and we understand it is to be opened this fall as ladies' seminary '. .Poli- tics engross the attention of our people nowadays, and the old guard tell us of the days of Tippecanoe, log cabin and hard cider. Rev MT Kidder gave us his views, but when the package of sugar grows smaller for dollar each time, it is more potent argument for tariff reduction than all the speakers we can get. .. An individual claiming to hail from Canaan, and he says his name is Henry Dubois, has been prowling around the streets of Corn wall for the past two weeks, looking fol his "old woman" He says she is "quite dark" We'll, Henry is built that way too, being three shades darker than black, and he is considered g dangerous man to have around.

Inherited Diseases.

No fact of nature Is more pregnant with awful meaning than the fact of tho inheritance of disease
 Modern science, which has illuminated 60 many dark corners of nature, has shed anew light on the ominous words of the Scriptures, "The sins of the fathers, shall be visited upon the children unto the third and fourth generation" Fifty per cent of cases of consumption, cancer and scrofula, run in families through inheritance. Insanity Is hered. ttary in . marked degree, but, fortu. natsly, like many other hereditary diseases, tends to wear itself out, the stock becoming extinct. A distin- guished scientist truly says: "No organ or texture of the body is exempt from the chance of being the subject of hereditary disease" Probably more chronic diseases, which permanently modify the structure and functions of the body, are more or less liable to be in- herited. The importan and far-rsaohin1 practical deductions from such facts arc obvious to rehecting minds, and the best means for preventing or curing these diseases is subject of intense in- provided remedy, which experience has attested as infallible, and the reme. dy is tho world-famous Swift's Specific, antidote for all blood poisons. To the afflicted 1t is a blessing of inestimable value. An interesting treatise on "Blood and Skin Diseases" will be mailed free by addressing

Band week has come and gone again, and if possible, people have en- joyed it more than ever before; the weather generally being very fine. The concerts with the exception of one, were given on the green, and the atten- dance was large. Nearly three thous- and people were on the green Wednes- day evening, and still larger number would probably have been present on threatening weather so that the excur- sion train from Collinsville was post poned. It has been very pleasing to all that MT Battell has been able to attend every concert, as for two years past he has been quite ill during concert week. Much credit is due Mir Carl Stoeckle and Officer Palmer for the usually good order which prevailed. :. The Episco- pal service will be held in the Metho- dist church at 10.45 a. m., Sunday, Aug. 5th.
