One of the most sagacious farmers and
business men of Ashtabula county was
in our Office last week, and speaking of
the prevailing Encouragement among
wool growers, and their haste to sell off
their tlocks, said that now is good
time to buy, and he was doing so, feel
ing assured that good investments
could now be made in sheep. In one
transaction recently he had been al
lowed the pick of fifty young ewes out
of good flock of several hundred at
S1.25 a head.


While attending the Wool Growers
Convention at Pittsburg, last week, an
enterprising wool grower of West Vir-
ginia informed us that himself and
some of his neighbors were going to
stock up with new purchases of sheep,
and made particular inquiry where
abouts in Ohio they could find desira-
BILE lots for sale.-Ohio Farmer.

An incident which might, by a re-
porter disposed to be sensational, be
wrought into . column or SO, occurred
recently in very respectable locality
In this city. A gentleman, returning
from business rather earlier than his
wont, was surprised to find his house
in darkness. Entering, he was cordial
ly greeted by his wife, who gave as an
excuse for being In the dark that she
was watching the street by moonlight.
The explanation was satisfactory, and
the gentleman seated himself upon the
sofa beside his wife. His foot came In
contact with something under the sofa
which attracted his attention. He
caught hold of what appeared TO be a
mans boots, and hauled from under the
sofa one OF his bosom friends and near
neighbor. In vain both the man and
his own wife protested that the scheme
was devised only TO scare him; he be-
labored him most soundly with little
rattan, and ended by kicking him down
stairs into the street, minus coat and
hat. What transpired further deponent

The PAIN KILLER is BY universal consent
allowed to have won for itself reputation unsur-
passed in the history of medicinal preparations Its
instantaneous effect in the entire eradication and
tncton of in all its various forms incidental to
the human family, and the unsolicited written and
verbal testimony of the masses in its favor are its
own best advertisements.


The Ingredients which enter into the
PAIN KILLER, being purely vegetable render it
perfectly safe and efhcacious remedy internally
well for external application, when used according
to directions. The slight stain upon linen from its
use in external applications, is readily removed by
twashing in little alcohol.


This Medicine, justly celebrated for the

A new gold saving, or rather, gold pro-
producing process is reported from Boston.
"A Mr.. Adams is reported to have discovered
n method whereby the use Of electricity in
smelling, or something of that sort, the
yield OF gold is enormously increased. In
one case. ore which gave twenty five dollars
per ton by fire assay, gave five hundred per
ion. 10 another case of ore yieldisg one
hundred and ten gave something over two
thousand. The parties who are the propri'
etors claim that large portion OF the gold
exists in latent state, and that the applca-
ton Of electricity develops it. There are
those here who have received the most posi-
tive Information concerning it, and who have
great confidence that the statements made
are all correct, and that gold is to be pro-
duced to this marvellous extent. Many an
alcbemist in olden times spent bis life in
searching for the philosophers stone, which
should turn everything it CHANGED to touch.
into gold. Should it turn out that the pro-
posed process will effect all that is claimed
for it, there will be no need Of further search
for that much desired and sought after DOR

BEAR THIS IN MIND.-The Democratic
party was organised in 1900, ard came into
power in 1901. With brief intervals it con.
tinued in power up to ls6l.-During all this
time no nation WAS more prosperous than
this; no people more happy; no government
less burdensom. Taxes were lighter than
under any other government in lhe world;
labor was better requitted, and political aud
religious liberty more universally enjoyed.
There was Union between States, and happi'
ness and prosperity among the people.


When bad men sought to destroy the Un-
ion, their first blow was at the Democratic
party. They only hoped to accomplish this
through the defeat and destruction of that
party. BY dividing its couusels they secured
its defeat. That was seven years ago, and
what have we to day9 A broken Uuion; ten
Of the States under military despo,ism;
political and religious liberty by word; the
burdens Of government more crushing than
those Of any other on earth. Labor is re-
munerated with deprecated promises to pay,
and the necessaries Of life are at famine
prices. Crime has increased a hundred fold,
and vice is clad in purple and fine linen
The clothes we wear, the food we eat, the
collins which encompass the last remains OF
the dead, are taxed to the last point of EN-
durance--and what have we gained9 Moth.
ing-in6nitely worse than nothing. r .7


Is it not time that the people thought Of
these things? Is it not time that the memo.
ry of the glorious past awakened he people
to an ambition for glorious future? What
the country vas, the Democratic party made


it; what it is, is the work Of The enemies Of
that party.-Is i. not time that the people
began to reflect upon the necessity Of rel
storing that party, and with it restoring the
prosper'y9 The signs of the times indicate
that reason is resuming its throne and pas
sion, prejudice and hatred are passing from
The hearts and minds Of the people. The

The election ordered by Napole-

going on in Mexico are precisely
parallel in all their circumstances
to the election held by Brownlow in
Tennessee. In all three instances
the result is prejudged, and the
whole proceeding an insulting mock

held in the name Of freedom, but
are distinguished in no manner from

What the Newspapers do for Nothing,


The following article should be read and
pondered well by every man who takes a
newspaper without paying for it


My observation enables me to state, as a
fact, that publishers of newspapers are more
poorly rewarded than any other class of men
in the Emitted States who invest an equal
amount of labor, capital and thought They
are expected to do more work for less pay,
to stand more sponging and' dead head
ing, to puff and defend more people with
out fee or hope of reward than any other
class.


They credit wider and longer, get oftener
cheated, suffer more pecuniary loss, are oft
ener the victims of misplaced confidence
than any other calling in the community
People pay printers bill with much more
reluctance than any other 1t goes harder
with them to expend a dollar on a valuable
dewspaper than ten on needless gew-gaw
yet everybody avails himself of the use Of
the editor pen and the printer ink.


How many professional and political rep
utatiOns and fortunes have been made and
sustained by the friendly, though unrequited
pen of the editor2 How many embryo
towns and cities have been brought into no
tice and puffed into prosperity by the press
How many railroads now in successful Ope
ration, would have foundered but for the
lever" that moves the world ? In short
what branch Of industry and activity has
not been promoted, stimulated and defended
by the press


And who has rendered it more than
miserable pittance for its services The
bazaars of fashion and the haunts of dissi-
patton and appetite are thronged with an
eager crowd, bearing gold in their palms
and the commodities there vended are sold
at enormous profits, though intrinsicaly
worthless, and paid for. with scrupulous
/ punctuaity; while the counting room of
the newspaper is the seat of jewing, cheap
ening trade orders and pennies. 1t is made
a point Of honor to iquidate a grOg bill,
butnot of disnonOr to repudiate printer s

Aye, and more; the editors of a daily

arising from the Infamous measure, was the

bers some five hundred who have been al

Court not to be a privilege; but we say that
it is positive and imperative duty. Those
