We have often wondered, says the Ian.
caster Ne,U Ara, why the guinea fowl
does not have place on every farm 10
Lancaster county. 1t certainly would
have il our farmers fully realized the
value of these birds. As il ia, here and
there few are seen, but even these re-
cieve no attention. They are regarded in
the light OF Migrants, who wander over
the farm at will and are left to take care
o. themselves as they best can. The
guinea has plenty OF excellent qualities.
During the Summer season IL IS a great
layer Of iirsl.cass eggs. These are small,
il ia true, but rich and OF excellent flavor.
Their flesh, too, is Of the best, well tasted,
equal to that OF chickens, and 1t lies in
very thick layers on the bones. Guineas
are for the most part self-supporling In
Summer They do not scratch they are
healthy and hardy, and as insect destroy.
ers are only equaled by brood OF young
turkeys. Nothing in the insect line seems
to come amiss to them. Their value TO the
farmer is incalculable. Their pretty mot
tied appearance lends variety 90 the land
scape, such az barn yard fowls cannot
give The average farmer can make no
better investment than to keep dozen or
two OF these birds on the place.

BY local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion OF the ear There is
only one way TO cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inflsmed condition OF the
mucous lining Of the Eustachls Tube.
When this tube Is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to It's
normal condition, hearing will be destroy
ed fore yer nine cases out OF ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an infamed condition OF the mucous cur

country in 1851 Shortly after be land

to work on the farm of Geo. B. Stot-
hof, beyond the Fair Grounds, and for
many years he and his good wife lived
in the little cottage, at the end of the
road, which still stands there. In this
little cottage this Irish cmigrant and
his wife, far from their native land,
reared family of children that have
taken rank and position in the com
munity. and whose lives have reflected
the sturdy, honest character of their
parents. His wife died about II years
ago, since which time he has made his
home with his son, ex Sheriff John Cor
coran, and while they resided in the Court
House he made many new acqusintances
in all parts of the county who will regret
to learn OF his death. A singular coin
cidence is that he and his wife died the
same month, same day Of the week and
only one days difference in the date of
the month. Mr.. Corcoran's mother,
who died while he lived in this place,

The whole country for twenty miles
around will empty itself into Trenton on
the Goth instant. There will he hardly
enough people left at home to feed the
live stock 1t will certainly be the great
est occasion since Washington passed un-
der the lriumphal arch The Trenton
Merchants are lively set OF fellows, and
they re goiug to make more free fun and
amusement for their visitors on that day
than one would believe until he saw 1t.
The Trenton Merchants are going TO
make all kinds of inducements for people
to buy from them. AS profit is not 80
much the object as to advertise the City,
there is going to be some mighty pleasing
buying done on that day.
Byron f. Gunson, the famous elothier
in the Opera House stores, is the man
that is going to promote some Of the most
pleasing buying lie has just gone
through the stock and selected all the
broken lots and all the garments that were
left over from last season, aud placed
them on two tables nearest the door.
There is II wealth Of talor's beauty in the
lot, which includes mems, boys and chill
drcn's suits, aud single trousers. Every
garment remains marked as it was before
the selection. You take anything on
these two tables for just one half the
prices on the tickets. You'll nevr have
better buying II You live To be hundred.
The railroads have reduced fares to
one half for this occasion. Notwthstand-
ing the great reduction told OF above, Mr..
Gunson will pay the other half OF the fare
OF anyone buying 81. 90 worth Of clothing

The tin peddler wagons with which the
country people were imposed upon in the
congressional campaign OF 1890 have been
again drawn out from their hiding places
and reprinted, this time bearing alleged
quotations from distinguished Americans
which are distorted into support OF the free
coinage OF silver, now worth less than one
half Of what il was at the date at which
these utterances are said TO have been
made. These wagons are being paradod
over the country by the class OF men who
proved so dangerous to the great cities
last fall in the dissemination OF the seeds
OF anarchism and riot They profess to
be engaged in obtaining subScribers for
free-slver publication with which they
are giving away a book written by "Coin"
Harvey, whose mouthings are now recog.
nized by every intelligent citizen as not
only false, but intended to deceive and
breed disqnietude and danger TO the Re
public. These men are supported by the
owners Of silver mines who thus seek to
induce the American people TO supply
market for their products and ARE seeking
to do this by falsehood and the spreading
OF doctrines dangerous to the life OF the
Republic. Everybody knows that the
statements OF this class OF fakirs who were
an important feature OF the campaign OF
1890 were absolute lies and that their work
in the great cities In sowing the seeds Of
dissension last fall was even more danger

tor OF the Mint, which indicate that the
gold productions of the United States In
1896 were $53, 0SS, 900, and are likely to be

The steady fall in the price OF silver and
the steady ise in the price Of farm pro-
ducts have dsproven another of the pet
theories OF the free coinagists. The back
bone of their argument was and has been
from the beginning that prices Of farm
products kept pace with the prices OF sill
yer, and that unless silver should be re-
habilitated and advanced to it's old price,
farm products must continue at the old
rates which they had reached year ago.
The fact that wheat has doubled In value,
wool increased 30 per cent. and other ar
ticles produced by the farmers advanced
greatly in value, while silver has steadily
declined and still continues its downward
course, has done more to destroy the sill
yer argument than anything else, except
the rapid abandonment of the silver stan.
