NEWSY NOTES.

Some of the leading physicians of New
York think they have found cure for
cancer by inoculating the patient with
virus of erysipelas. The discovery was
an accident, patient in a cancer hospi-
tai having become inoculated with the
virus, and improving steadily thereafter.
transformers are iubilant over the
prospect of securing the county seat and
the new county buildings. At meeting
of the Supervisors at Mayville Aug. a

adopted by vote of IS to 10. Dunkirk

couldn't get enough votes. The question
| will now be submitted to the people to
vote upon at the next general election.

The Butler Citizen says: Samuel
Meals, of Venango twp, had the best
turnout of rye this year that we have
ever heard of, i. e., l03 bushels from 103
DOZENS cut from acres. Some of the
wheat of that vicinity also turned out a
bushel to the dozen this year. A. D..
Shearer, who lives on the w. c. Thomp-
son farm near Butler raised 90 bushel of
wheat on acres, and threshed it from
the field. SO bushels to the acre.

Road, Va, on the 27th of October, 1864.

The Kittanning Times says Ford City
is decidedly forlorn looking place these
days. A person visiting it now after hav
ing been there when the works were rum
ming full time, would not think it was
the same city. Every man who could
get work elsewhere has gone away, in
many instances taking their families with
them. The town presents Sunday APP
pearance every day now. When the
wheels will again be put in motion no
one can tell. That much actual suffering
is existing is true. Many of the poorer
families have applied for and obtained re-
lief. Others are travelling to other towns
soliciting assistance.

day school membership of over 900,0 600
The contributions last year amounted Il
almost Sl5,OOO,OOO, to which should b,
added interest from permanent funds
for seminaries, etc., amounting 10 over
S3O00OO, Home Missions received some
thing over a million dollars last year, ant
Foreign Missions between $500, 900 anC

One who has been there and knows
how il is gives this advice: When you gC
to the Worlds Fair-that is, if you ar,
9 going-don't take with you a big trunl
full of clothing. You won't need it
neither the trunk or the clothing. TAKE
. clothing that fits easy on you, good every
, day clothing, that you can feel comforta
4, BILE in, and you viii be all right. Nobo
dy looks at the clothes you have on L
criticise their cut or texture or material
People are too much engaged in seeing
[ other things to scan their neighbors o
make comment on their appearance. II
a great show like that where there ar
) people from all parts of the earth, an,
e popularity of dress is not noticed, eX
{ cept, perhaps, it be undress such as IN
O Fiji Islanders and the people in the Da
honey Village on the Midway Plaisanc
' affect. You are liable 10 bump u
I against a Turk or an Algerian or an Ar
alb, a Siamese citizen, a Brazilian, or
native of any other country in the world
at almost every corner yon turn, an
none of them are ON the watchlto see hoy
g you are dressed. And above all don't g
e to the Fair wearing tight shoes. Remem
, ber that you will have a great deal {
walking to do, and if your feet are q
e ease you will not be half as tired. l
