A WORD TO THE UNEMPLOYED.
Our attention has been called to a
new cooking utensil, recently in
vented, which makes baking a pleas
ure, instead of a dreaded necessity ;
the inventor of which lias conferred
an .everlasting blessing upon every
housekeeper. We refer to tho Patent
Centennial Cake and Bread Pan, with
which, by simply raising a hook, you
can remove the sides of the pan from
the cake instantly, without breaking
or Injuring it in the least, thus en
abling you to ice and frost it while
warm. To remove the tube in the
center, insert a knife in the slot in the
top of the tube, aud simply give it a
half turn, and it will drop out. It is
also provided with a slide on the bot
tom, so that, when you remove the
tube, you can close the hole, making
plain.cakcs.'pudding, bread, etc., thus
practically (jiving you two iani for
the price of one.
The Centennial Cake Pan Is highly
recomended by the ladies as being the
best aud most convenient pan ever in
troduced. They are made of Russia
iron, are more durable and will bake
your cakes more evenly and a much
nicer brown than you can bake them in
the old-fashioned tin cake pa.
These goods are sold exclusively
through agents to families, and every
housekeeper should by all means have
them. A splendid opportunity is of-,
fered to some reliable lady or gentle
man canvasser of this county to secure
the agency for a pleasant and profitable
business. For terms, territory, etc.,
write to L. E. Brown & Co., Nos. 214
and 218 Elm street, Clrrciunati, Ohio.

Failure of Another Savings Ba nk.
Pittsburg, October 3 The Alle.
gheny Savings Bank, the oldest bank
in Allegheny City, suspended payment
this morning. The following notice
was posted 011 the doors:
The directors or the Allegheny Savlnzs
Bunk, bi-iiig unable to convert 1U axketa Into
money Immediately, have deemed it proper
to suspend payment. In addition to the
ansotB of the bank the stockholders are Indi
vidually liable, and the directors hope to pay
all the depository.
About this time last year a run was
made on the bank, but the officers met
all the demands so promptly that the
run soon ceased. It is ascertained that
at the time of the run last year the de
posits aggregated $1,812,000, but since
that time they have been steadily re
duced and do not now exceed $591,
000. of which amount about $100,000
belong to the directors and stockhold
ers. In addition to this, the bank
owed secured debts to other banks and
money borrowed on mgrtgages to the
amount of $128,000. The assets, con
sisting largely of real estate, will ag
gregate 1748,000.
Wilcox Notes.
Wilcox, Pa., Oct. 9, 1877.
I told you so, and the wedding haa come off
allrondy. This time Miss Katie Schack to a
friend of horn from Ohio. And the boys got
up one of the moHt Infernal scimiltous that
ever disgraced tho town. Flxtols nnd guns
wrro fired, cow bells rung, anvils and old
saws pounded and yelling Indulged In until
people two miles away thought the mater
ialized spirit of Cupt. Jack and his whole
tribe of savages had biken posesston of the
town, and they kept up this halnbaloo until
three o'clock in the morning, hut all to no
avail, thoy could not get tho young man out.
There he lay and slept the sleep of the Just
amid all this din nnd clatter and turned out
In the morning ns fresh as a now blown rose.
While the riotcrii looked tho next dny like
the last rose ofsiimmcr. Don't tell anybody,
we arc going to have another wedding, and 1
suppose another scimiltous.
They have been playing tbe dlckons nt well
No. S.blowlngthcbollerlnto Just exactly nine
million pieces. In fact there Is nothing left but
n hole In the ground, nobody hurt, nil gone to
breakfast. nnd now they have got a fifty
horse-power boiler nnd will bring out those
fust tools or bust a goose egg. If persever
ance nnd energy meets with Its Just reward
the pnrtles putting down this well will reap a
fortune.
Miss Ollden has gone to Oermnny.
Col. Wilcox has been homo and gone back,
but he Is coining again.
Beechnut are very plenty and the boys are
hnppy.
Willie Youngs, son of Andrew Youngs, a
boy about Ave years old fell on a broken
chnlrand stuck one of tho rounds Into his
abdomen two or three Inches, making an
ugly wound. Doctor Straight attended the
little suffcrerand now pronounces him out of
danger. -PETE.
Communication.
EniTon A ovocatk .
Hear kik : The following appeared In
the Democrat of last week :
"There Is too much drunkeness among the
boys in their teens In Ridgway. We advise
their parents to look into the matter a little
more closely."
Now, we have heard of editors minding
thelrown business, but who ever heard of an
editor who attended to other people's business
more than his own, except the editor of the
Democrat. As every one in the community
well knows he seldom Issues a paper without
slandering some person. For what purpose
he wrote tho abovo local we can conceive no
Idea, unless It was to create the Impression
that the boys In town were In the habit ot
drinking. Vv'o do not claim that the boys In
Hidgwuy are all Murphy's but wo docluim
that there Is more gentleman about them
than the above named editor, as they nre not
forever making Insulting remarks about
their nclgbors. .
Working of Moffet Liquor Register.
Richmond, Va., October 4 The
first official returns under the Mofi'et
register liquor law in this city for
seventeen days in September show
that the number of malt drinks sold
In that time was 135,550, and alcoholic
drinks nearly 127,000; the tax thereon
amounting to $3,850. Tills amount
averaged through the year and added
to other sources of liquor revenue
makes the annual aggregate for Rich
mond $102,040. Richmond heretofore
paid about one-fifth the liquor revenue
of the whole state; such being the
case now the total liquor tax in the
state will aggregate about $500,000.
Important to Merchants. Many
grocerynien and other dealers in to
bacco are in the habit of cutting plugs
of tobacco up intosmall pieces and re
tailing them from cases, jars, etc.,
which is a technical violation of the
Internal Revenue laws. Tobacco can
only be retailed from stamped pack
ages, and to sell It otherwise than
from the original stamped package
they are liable to seizure. Peremptory
orders are issued to revenue agents
and deputy collectors of Internal Rev
enue to seize ail tobacco not found in
stamped packages. Penalties are in
flicted for not destroying stamps on
cigar boxes and tobacco packages as
emptied. If all engaged in the sale
of tobacco and cigars read this and
comply with the requirements they
will save money and trouble.
The M'A'can Miner tell the follow
ing story on a "Cool Customer":
'Among the criminal cases tried last
week was a stabbing affair, the de
fendant In which was an impecunious
and hard checked scamp from the
"city" of Bradford. Hehadn't a dol.
lar to his name, but he had cheek
enough to carry him to Omaha. The
Court appointed counsel for him, and
as tho case was a clear one he was
soon found guilty and sentenced to
pay one dollar fine and costs of prose
cution, and suffer confinement at
hard labor in the Western Peniteu
tiary for two years. As the graceless
scamp was leaving the dock, he turned
to the Judge, and with all the assur
ance and dignity of a Itothchild,
asked. "If it please the Court, may I
ask what is the amount of thosecosts."
The sublimity of the fellow's cheek
was almost two much for tie dignity
of the Court."
KEEP IT AV THE HOUSE
How often are people attacked with
violent pain, cramps or diarrhoea in
the dead of night and compelled to
send away for the doctor at great
troublcand expense to themselves and
the doctor's annoyance? Now this
proceeding is not at all necessary. A
bottlo of Dr. Fenner's Golden Relief
should always be kept In the house.
It will relieve any of those affections
in from three to thirty minutes, and
it will also relieve a painful neuralgia,
toothache, earache, sorethroat or
rheumatism just as readily. Tbe doc
tor could not possibly prescribe abet
ter remedy or better nursing than that
accompanying its directions.
Sold by dealers In medicine.
Get a circular entitled "People's
Remedies," describing them all.
Dr. Fenner has also discovered
a specific remedy for that terrible dis
ease, St. Vitus Dance. One bottle
cures. Send for a special circular, re
porting cures to Dr. M. M. Fenner,

Some idea of the magnitude of the
petroleum, trade in this state, and the
Immense amount of capital invested
in it, may be formed from the fact that
there have been sunk 20,000 wells, the

by the best authorities at $170,000,000.
These wells have yielded about 88,000,
000 of barrels, valued at the wells at
$300,000,000.
In a row in Philadelphia between

Hood use for a Dime.
We advise all our readers to forward
their address and 10 cents to Orange
Judd Co., 245 Broadway, New York,
who make a special offer to send for
this sum (half price and postage) the
number for October 1st, of the Ameri
can Agriculturist. This splendid num
ber, besides over 50 engravings, con
tains a-great amount of useful, practi.
cal, reliable, seasonable information,
not only for the farm and garden, but
for the Household, Children included.
Most will get from it hints and sugges
tions worth ten or twenty times its
cost Better still, to send $1.60 and
receive the paper, post-paid, from now
to the end of 1878 that Is all of vol
ume 37, with the rest of this yearree.
(Two copies for $1.00 each). Nowhere
else can one get so much really valu
ble, paying Information for so little
money not 8 cents a week, a sum
easily saved or produced extra, which
the paper will be sure to help one to
do. This Journal is prepared by prac
tical men and women, who know
what they talk and write about from
actual experience and large observa
tion, ajid they can and do greatly aid
others to profitably planning and
working. Many single hints and sug
gestions each abundantly repay a
year's cost. The fearless exposures of
quackery and humbugs Iu every num
ber, are invaluable, and have saved its
readers aud the country millions of
dollars. The departments for the
Household and Children are pleasing
and instructive. Every number of
the paper is beautifully illustrated.
In short, the American Agriculturist
is full of good things, for every man,
woman, and child, iu city, village,
and country. Take our advice and
send $1.60 for 11 months, or at least
send a Dime for the half-price .speci
men now offered, and see it tor yourselves.
