Harrison Day, who lives east of Garrettsville,
met with quite serious accident one day last
week. While leading calf, he was thrown to
the ground with such force that one of his limbs
was broken below the knee.
Last Thursday the neighbors of Mr.. Day,
numbering twenty-five, visited his premises and
husked 375 bushels of corn and dug his pota-
toes, and placed everything in shape for the
winter.
DR.. E. B. Lee, one of the most prominent
physicians of this city, died at his home, Nov. 6,
DR.. Lee was a kind father, good citizen, and
a man who was highly respected by allwho
knew him. Garrettsville can i'll afford to lose
valuable physician and citizen as DR.. E. B.
Lee.

"Reminiscences Of tho Joln.town Flood.
Soon after the great flood in the Con.
emaugh Valley, Pa, last summer, the
press dispatches heralded the news OF
an epidemic Of diarrhna at YOUNGSTOWN.
The following letter from Rev. H, L,
Chapman, pastor Of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church, Johnstown, gives the bar.
ticulars and most successful remedy
used:
The box Of six dozen Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Dia1rhua Remedy
which you sent at the suggestion OF
Hon. Wesley Redhead, reached us soon
after the great flood and ut a time when
diarrhea was quite prevalent. As soon
as it became known that l had the medi.
cine for distribution, there began a great
run on it, which continued until ii was
about oil gone. Every one, 80 far rs l
heard from them, testified to it's virtues,
declaring it the beat medicine for the
purpose they had ever used. Those who
got it shared it around with their neigh
bors, so that am confident your gener-
osity in sending it was productive OF
great good. We used some OF it our.
selves and found it not only an excel
lent medicine for diarrhua, but for all
kinds Of pain and uneasiness in the
stomach and bowels. 1t has been re-
garded as the best medicine known here
for the diseases it is recommended for,
In view Of your sending such a large
quantity for free distribution among
poor people, l think you are entitled to
this testimonial in its iavor.-H. l..

The prize singing was opened by the

Eannum s Uailey's Grent Show to Ex.
hiblt Here.
Barnum & Bailey's show this year, il
never before, certainly deserves the title,
"the greatest on EARTH" 1t simply daz.
zles the mind with its b%rilliance and i'm.
menaity. Without sacrificing any OF its
former merit, it has added the great
spectacle, Nero, or the Fall Of Rome,n
8 show in itself beyond competition.
The show, just as it was given in Lon
don, where it delighted everybody, will
exhibit on the old Fair Ground, on the
Island, this afternoon and evening. Yes
terday and the day beforeit was at Pitts.
burgh, and the papers there are enthu-
siastic i n praise OF it, as they have been
everywhere.
Last Saturday an ISTELlloEHcER re-
porter saw the show at Steubenville, and
is prepared to vouch for it as all that has
been claimed for it. The magniGcence
and splendor Of the Nero spectacle can.
not be described or imagined. 1t must
be seen, aud then the beholder is be.
wildered. The circus is better than ever,
and the menagerie at least quite as good,
There are several interesting illusions,
among them a new mermaid trick, re-.
sembling Hermann's "Child Of tho
Air." which delighted everybody last
season.
