The REPUBLICAN acknowledges
the receipt of an invitation TO attend
the Warren County Fair, which oc.
ours Sept. 8, 4, aud 6. The fairs OF
this association have grown in popu.
larity from year to year, and are
largely attended from all sections.
The management has made extra
efforts this year, and will doubtless
exceed all former displays.
An exchange says that every
newspaper in the State should publish
the fact that burnt corn is sure to cure
hog cholera. 1t was first discovered
by the burning of a pile of corn be-
longing to a distilIery at Peoria. 1t
was thrown to the hogs and readily
eaten by them. Before that time a
number had been dying each day with
the cholera, but the disease immediate.
ly disappeared. The remedy ia so
simple that it can be easily tried.
An exchange recently contained
the following: Wanted in most every
town in the country, an editor who
can read, write and argue politics, and
at the same time be religious, funny,
scientific and historic at will; write to
please everybody; know everybody
without asking or being told, always
have something good 10 say about
everybody else, living on wind and
make more money than enemies. For
such a man good opening will be
made-in the graveyard"
Quite a number of farmers in
Westmoreland county, this State, have
been victimized by swiudler who
represented himself to be the agent of
Philadelphia wholesale grocery
house, says the Blizzard. He sold
goods at very low rates, one.half the
price of which was paid to the agent,
and the balance to be paid on the ar.
rival of the goods. The goods have
not yet arrived. 1t has been ascer.
tanned that the house the agent sold
for does not exist. Now is the time
to subscribe.
AT this time Of The year it is pru.
dent for every head of family to
provide and keep on hand the follow.

The w. N. Y. & p. Railroad has
arranged to give another of its grand
low rate excursions to the Thousand
Islands, on Friday, Aug. so The
rate from 1ionesta will be $3.50, aud
the train will leave this station $40 a.
m, arriving at Rochester, N. Y, at
7;3O p. M, and landing the party at
Thousand Islands at 700 a. m. The
trip down the st. Lawrence by steamer
is one of the grsndest to be found
anywhere, and as tickets are good for
10 days excursionists can enjoy royal
holiday at this famous resort, where
the fishing and boating are always ex.
cellent. Don't forget the date.
-Titusville Herald: That receipt

ing was certainly the dandy of them
all. He was one of the best takers,
outside of Ben Dodge, that ever made
"pitch" here. His little pamphlet
cost him about s cents per copy.
First, he sold seventy eight of them at
81 each, then fftysix at 30 cents
each, and then, "in order that every
poor family in the city might have
one," he disposed of an unlimited
quantity at 25 cents per number. 1t
does not seem possible that there are
SO many suckers in the world, but the
fact was demonstrated last night be-
yond the possibility ola doubt.
The little folks as we'll as the old.
er ones are looking forward to pleas.
ant time tomorrow, the occasion of
the annual excursion of the Sabbath !
