They did not come to work how ever —for the majority rgj doubt would have been utterly opposed to such a diversion —but to see the Osborne Self Binder at work. All who saw the machine in operation are simply delighted with the work it does. It cuts the grain and binds the sheaves in any desired size, in a neat and substantial manner, and needs only a driver to operate it. What a grand improvement—what a magnificent achievement. But what will American ingenuity nexti invent? Guess somebody will make a machine one of these days that will combine the reaper, thresher, grist mill and oven all in one, so , that while the grain in the strafr would enter the' machine, in front, the baked loaves, cakes and pics, in in every desired size, shape and quality, would come out at thp rear. There is Jstill room for improve ment on the Osborne Self Binder. . By Universal Accord. , .. AYER'S CATHARTIC PILLS are the best of all purgatives for family tise. They are the pro duct of long, laborious, and successful chemi cal investigation, and their extensive use, by physicians in their practice, and by all civilize ed nations, proves them the bent and most ef fectual purgat ve Fill that medical science can devise. Being purely vegetable no harm can arise from their use. In intrinsic value and curative powers no other Fills can be compared with them, and every person, know ing their virtues, will employ them, when nee ded. They keep thesystem r ih perfect order and maintain in healthy action ihe whole ma, chineryof life. Mild, searching and effectual they are especially adapted to the needs of the digestive apparatus, derangements of which they prevent and cure, if timely taken. They are the best and safest physic to employ for children and weakened constitutions, where a mild but effectual cathartic is requir- FOR SALE BY ALL DEALERS —At no time before did we see grand old Brush Valley appear so beautiful or rich as we did last woek on a trip down to the lower end. Thero is not a poor wheat field to be seen from the turn-pike down to Mr. George llrun gards, which is as far as we came. The hay crop is simply superabundant, the oats fields, just now dressed in rich est green, are all that could l>o desired, while the corn is doing well in making up for lost time. It seems as if Prov idence was making a special effort this year to lavish his richest blessings on this beautiful and favored spot of earth. ARM BROKEN.—Miss Mary A. Maize, of this place, had the misfor tune to break her light aim at the wrist, on Thursday Juno 80th. She was picking cherries at Mr. John Coey's, near Aaronsburg, standing on the upper rungs of a ladder. Her sister was also in the act of ascending the ladder from below, and had reach ed but a few feet above ground* when a rung broke which gave the ladder a twist and brought it and Mary to the ground. The lull was a severe one aud she is much bruised otherwise. ANOTHER.—Mrs. Michael Smith, of this place, fell from a cherry tree at Mr. John Karn's, Tuesday the sth and broke her arm. We did not learn the particulars. How the World moves in a Day. The following are the respective headings of as many articles in the Philadelphia Times of July 7th, show ing how crimes and accidents run riot throughout the country in a single day: A furious fight. Shot and captured af ter dangerourly wounding two men.— A murderer's deatli in Jail.—Broke his neck while loading hay.— Killed because he would not work.—Two Hundred people poisoned.—An In diana Duel.—An Rx-Ministqr way laid and badlv beaten with a 6lung shot.—Garrison, the Williamsburg Murderer delivers himself up far fear of being lynched,—Murder and Suicide in Pittsburg.—A father causes hi? daughter's death.—A murderer's sui cide.—Massacred by Indians.—Over 30) cattle burred. : \ i \ —W. F. MUSSED, A. B. who recent ly graduated from Pennsylvania Col lege, Gettysburg, will open a select school at Aaronsburg, cn Monday, July 25th instant. Frank is amply qualified both by education and charac ter to take charge of such a school, and we hope ho may be patronized as he deserves. Aaronsburg used to be proud—and with reason—of her schools and school spirit, bpt.forsome years she lias had no school above the "common" grade. We hope Frank will be ahle to revive some of the old spirit and enterprise that worked so nobly in the cause, in the days of Dimm, Haines, Barrell, Swartz, Foose and others. 2t r Letter f om Texae. Clarendon. Donley Co.. Texas, June 2itli, IKBI.. Dear Journal: I have been out this morn ing helping to do some surveying and Reeling a little worse for the wear I concluded while trying to rest myself to write up Clarendon and the surrounding-country for the benefit of your rcadere. Clarendon is finely situated at the junction of Carroll Crcelr and Salt Fork of Red River. Carroll Creek passes along the edge of the town, right through the town plot, how ever. The stream is about half as large as Klk Creek at low water, but being fed by springs all along its course, always furnishes the town with plenty of water. Excellent water is ob tained here by digging from 20 to 40 feet. Clarendon has about 20 houses, built, some of stone,some of timber and some of unburnt brick called adct'es. Thcndobe Is made of sand and black earth, in size to suit the wall for which it Is intended. Korean IK inch wall an adobe Is made IK inches long. 6 inches; wide and 4 inches thick, perfectly syn dried. They make an elegant waH-wnenplastered both inside and outside with go< :l sand and lime morter, am! arc much cheaper than stone or brick. Clarendon is situated about 2SO miles north west from Gainesville, the county seat of Cooke county and fthe terminus of the Texa®, Missouri & St. Louis B. It., the nearest rati road point south, nnd alnnit 225 miles from Podge City. Kansas, the nearest rail road point on the north. It has a population of about 125, Is quite a business point, as there is no business place On the south of any consequence nearer than Henrietta—l9B;miles away, and Klliott, north west .from here about 50 miles. One would suppose when there Is not sufficient pop ulation in the county to complete a county or ganization, when it.requires but 150 voters to organize, there would be but little business, but there arc several large cattle ranches in the conn ty and many more outside of the county that depend upon Clarendon for supplies, • and this makes it quite a trade centre. A gocd physi cian is wanted here. A shoemaker, a saddler and a tinsmith could each do well. The prairies surrounding the town uie very fine. Some lit tle farming is done but my opinion is that the country is too dry for farming purposes. We had a little shower last night which was the Arst rain since I can.c here, several weeks ago. I fear the crops will bo a failure, but -for cattle this section can compete with any other; In the United States. They have the finest cattle here I ever saw—sleekj nnd fat as eels fresh from Penns Creek., Cattle men here pronounce the business the bent and surest of all legiti mate pursuits. One of the leading stock men calls bis calves his coupons, and says he knows exactly how many he has and what they are worth every time lie counts them. They say that dry weather does not affect the cattle and j that calves fatten bettor on partially dry grass than upon growing, greet! grass,. This id a decidedly healthy country. I have enjoyed the very best of health ever since I am here. While I am writing old Kareas is Just making things rattle. It is nothing un usual for the wind to blow a;fearful gale, apd this is one reason why this locality is so healthy. All the m iasmaand impurities in the atmoa phere are driven away. Besides this we are at an attitude of about 2900. feet aboye the sea. you will see from the very, nature of things that this can not be other than a Jhealtby region. , ... , ; :• Next week a party of us expect to-visit Capt. Goodnlglit's ranohe, which is the. finest in the country if not in the world, He owns the celebrated I'aladero Cayuon on lied Itiver, a bout 70 miles long and about as wide at the mouth, wHh natural walls on each side at places 1000 feet"" high. He uses it exclusively for a winter ranche, as it affords constant pasture for his stock and the best of shelter from storms. He had about 20,000 head of cattle last winter and you could scarcely notice a short ening or decrease of the gross. I will write again about this celebrated rancho after visit ing it, 'and in the mean lime remain your friend, W. K. ALEXANDER. Missionary Meeting. Rev. A. D. Rowe, returned mission ary from India, will lecture in the Lutheran Church, Aaronsburjr, ncx t Sunday morning at 0 o'clock on "Mis sion Work in India." Re will exhibit some India idols, style of dress, and other interesting matters. The public and especially Sunday School workers and scholars are cordially Invited to at tend. * Communicated, ; • - \ • THE REAPER. j . Sabbath morning June 2Sth, 'SI, (Scorgw Ed die Noekman died ofscartbt fever after an ill ness of bnt four days—aged 14 years, 11 months and a few d.ys. Monday morning Juno 27th Luther Kankoy Ileckman died of the same dis ease— aged 11 years, months and some days. Hoth were sons of Mr. Adam N. Ileckman, c! Nlttany valley. , These were .sudden r.nd had deaths. They cast a gloom over our valley,and the many Intimate friends of Mr. Mrs. Ileckman were tilled with sadness. Such leases of seven', affliction are rare. Two noble boys full of promise and beauty—a devoted Luther'* pride and a loving mother's treasure, to lie still and cold in death at the same time *idiven, so elo quent, so thoughtful and consoling, was listen ed to with wrapt attention. The Sunday School scholars, the companions and friends of the two lovely boys, now cold in death, brought offerings of beautiful flowers emblematical of the purity and immortality of the loved ones laid to rest in the quiet grave yard. The precious dust was encased in beauti ful caskets. The funeral was large and most solemn and impressive. Many evidences were manifested of the high regard and esteem in which the dead were held, and symyathy for the stricken . parents In their deep sorrow was heartfelt and general. Sabbath morning the St Paul's Lutheran Sun day School passed a series of resolutions of love, respect nud remembrance to the memory and worth of dear Ed lie and Luther Heckmnn, who had missed only three Sabl>uths from Run day school in four years. They were always on time—always interested—always pood and kind —never said a wrong or harmful word.- They were model boys in every particular. Just the kind of Jewels the blessed Saviour wanted for His school in the Heavenly Paradise above- They are safe now. No temptations—no trials —nomorepatus and stmgling forthein! He who proclaimed "liuffer little children to come unto Me" will care for them now. They are singing new songs—learning now and better and sweeter lessons than earth wan teach. Together—not alone—saved and happy are these dear manly boys. There is a lonely, empty home. So few to bowat the family altar—to gather around the table. How are they missed by the aged grand fathers and mothers, the. uncles and aunts—the Sunday School, 1 those dear, happy beautiful faces—honest, noble and generous. We can not and never will forget them. It is sad and hard to give thorn up. But the Savior counts the pure ones, the bright ones for his own. "The Lord gave, t?ic Ixnl hath taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord." "M M." MARRIED. —— On the ICth inst. at the English Lrtheran Parsonage. Jersey Shore, by Rev. LA.
