Two FINE ORGANIZATIONS.— Both ‘the Logan Steam Fire Engine Company and the Undine Hose Company No. 2; are attending the State fireman’s convention now in session at Lock Haven.

Miss BeurLar STrROHM DEAD.—We regret to be called upon to record the death of Miss Beulah Edna Stroh, which occurred at the residence of her grandfather, Mr, Michael Strohm, of Centre Hill, on Saturday evening, Sep- tember 12th. Miss Strohm had been living in Washington, D. C., with her uncle, Mr. Walter W. Bayard and held a position in the Census Department. She contracted a light cold which, with the seeds germinated by a severe attack of the grip, developed into galloping consumption. She was a young lady much admired for her lovely and unas- suming ways and her demise will be mourned by a large number of friends. Funeral services were held at her grandfather's on Wednesday.

Corn needs about tenjdays more of warm sun- shine to mature it and put is out of dan- ger of frost. An enormous crop is now probable. Some will be ready to cut in a few days. : The cool nights have caused the farm- ers in the tobaccoregions to fear frosts’ and the crop is rapidly being cut. The crop is estimated to be the largest and finest ever grown in the State, and the damage from rust and insects is much smaller than}in former years. Potatoes are about all lifted. The crop is large’and fine and very little rot is reported. The ground is in good condition and farmers are busy preparing for fall seed- ing. Some have already begun, but seeding proper will begin about the 15th. Buckwheat is reported a large and fine crop. Fruit and vegetables ar abundant. : THE FAR AT LEWISBURG. — The Union County Agricultural Society is, one the oldest organizations of the kind withinjthe confines of the State.

It will take place at Brook} Park, Lewisburg, Pa., Oct. 7, 8 and 9,)|1891. The premiums offered are very liberal, covering all industries ~—the farm, the workshop, the fireside, and the fleet-footed roadster. The race- course or track is in first-elass condition, while the trials of speed promise to be most exciting, Their spacious grounds and buildings are also in excellent order. The people of beautiful Buffalo Valley extend hearty greeting to all visitors at their coming Fair. Make nota of the date—Oct. 7, 8 and 9, 1891.

Tery Waxt OyLy Eicat Hours.— The employes of the Huntingdon re- formatory, or,at least forty-two of them, want to know from Governor Pattison why they do not come within the pro- vision of the eight hour law passed at the last session of the Legislature. The act declares that in all state institutions eight hours shall constitute a day’s la- bor, and because of the enactment of this law the legislative champions of several penal and corrective institutions demanded larger appropriations upon the argument that the number of em- ployes would have to te increased. The Huntingdon reformatory attend- ants, through ex-Senator R. B. Petrikin on Tuesday presented a petition to Gov- ernor Pattison in which they set forth that the officers and managers of the re- formatory are violating the law and forcing them to do the same by com- pelling them to work twelve hours a day, under penalty of suspension or dis- charge. Furthermore, the petitioners say that they are now ordered to sign a contract by which they bind thémselves to work twelve hours aday! They ask the goyernor to {ake action which will give them an opportunity. tp benefit by the la w.

The A Case of Chills and Fever Of Long Standing Finds a Cure. 4 Miserable Man—A Long Journey—A Brief Consultation-—An Off —-Hand Prescription — A Perinanent Cure and a Happy Man. Extract from a Medical Lecture by Dr. S. B. Hart- man. Several years ago a man forty-five years of age, from a malarious district, came a long distance to consult me for a chronic malarious affection for which he had doctored without intermission for over ten years. The treatment which | bad been mainly relied on by the various doctors . he had consulted was quinine and other derivative of chinchona bark. Of these preparations he had taken many pounds, and during several intervals he had taken a great many chill cures, but nothing seemed to have any permanent effect. His complexion was of that dirty yellow so characteristic of old ague patients, and his sunken, lusterless eyes, surrounded by dark circles, indicated how completely his health had been underminded. The tongue was heavily furred with a thick brown coating, breath very offensive,and he complained of a constant, dull headache. A poor appetite, indigestion, biliousness and constipation completed a tale of woe so commonly heard in a malarious locality. The chills came on atirregularintervals. Sometimes he would not have one for a month ; then again every day for a while. ' For this man I prescribed Pe-ru-na and Man a-lin as directed on the bot- tles, the Man-a-lin to be used until the bowels beeame regular and digestion good.
