Dr. Shattuck says it surpasses all other meth. oils In the prompt relief and cure of throat and lung affections.

Mallalieu, on Thursday evening, Sep tember 29. Tho Watsontown Base Ball Club did not mako as much nolso on tho streets last week, Thursday, as they did on tho oc. caslon of their first visit. Tbo Bloom boys got away with them so quickly that it took away tho breath of the band, and they hadn't enough left-to blow with. Another hop was held In Winona Hall on Wednesday evenlng,and was attended by a goodly number of young people. The samo orchestra, that played at tho one last week, furnished the music for this, and very fine music they made. All present enjoyed themselves exceedingly. People began to arrive hero as early as Monday to attend the fair. The majority woro those who nave exmuiuons ami stands on tbo grounds. If the weather is clear the indications aro that thero will be thousands here every day, and the fair will have tho largest attendance of any ever held here. At a meeting of tho Democratic County Committee, held in tho Grand Jury room last Saturday, A. W. Mann, of Beaver, was nominated as a candidate for County Bur- veyor on tho Democratic ticket. By an oversight no nomination was made by the Countv Convention. Mr. Mann Is well qualified for tbo position, and his selection is a good one. Tho present month of October is signal- zed by having two full moons. The recent ono was the "harvest moon" which is al ways tho full moon which happen nearest to tho autumnal equinox, hecauses It rises from night to night sooner after sunset than anv other moon in tbo ytar, and heuco Is favorable for tho work of harvest ing tho lato crop.

Mr. Eyer was very near and dodced. but failed to get completely out of the road, and the horo's hoof struck him on the left arm. Tho arm was not oroKen, lint tha bono was silvered, which Is thought to be almost as bad as a break.

Tho train was cigmccn minutes behind time when they left Benton, and rnnohml ninnm.i.i.r on schedule lime, to mako connection with D. L. & W. railroad.

A physician walking through our streets Is struck with amazement at tho many in dications of kidney and liver affections sure to lead in many cases to that terror of the medical profession, "Hrlght's Disease." Women with sallow complexions, sunken eyes and hollow checks, men with lack of energy, bowed heads, restless gaze and weak and unsteady gait, all showing the sad inroads of a malady common every where, but which can bo readily cured by that wonderful alterative sold at drug stores under tho name of Dr. Shattuck's Rest Curo Specific. E. 0. Casnell was driving a grey horse of Aurandt's around tho track at the fair grounds last Sunday afternoon, when an accident occurred that might havo resulted In serious injury to the horse. He struck the horso with the whip and the animal kicking, got its feet fast in a very peculiar manner In tho buggy, tho right foot being caught in the spring and tho left in the front wheel on the left hand side. Several young men were on tho grounds, and as sisted in loosening tho horse from its un pleasant position; he was liberated after much trouble Fortunately, thero was no serious hurt. The first nccldcnt on tho Bloomsburg & Sullivan railroad occurred near the Blooms burg depot Saturday erenlnc. By somo oversight at the L. & B. Junction, the switch was left open, and as tun first section of the late train came in, the engine, tender and one-half of the first car ran off the track, and over the sills beforo tho train was slopped. Tho second engine, soon due, was flagged, and it came in and went to work pulling the first engine back on tho track again. About ten o'clock tho wrecked train was on tho track, and it was found that but little damage had been done. A meeting of tho Board of Trade was held in Winona Hall on Monday evening to consider a proposition for tho location of a silk mill in this town. As the propo sition was not fully understood, tho Secre tary was directed to invito tho party to visit Bloomsburg, and a committee was ap pointed to entertain him. A committee on subscriptions was also appointed. The second Monday of tho month is the regular meeting night of tho Board. At tho regular meeting in November tho elec tion of a President, to fill tho vacancy caused by the death of DavlJ Lowcnberg, will take place. Quito a number of residents of Main township were in town on Monday, having been called hero by a church difficulty. Fisher's church has been occupied by the Reformed and Lutheran congregations for somo years, as a Union place of worship. Last October the building blew down, and, as tho Reformed people allege, It was re built by them, the Lutherans declining to bear any of the expense. The latter were then denied tho use of the church, but sev eral times have gained access to it. On Sunday morning last the feud culminated when somo of tho Lutherans broke open the church. Warrants were sworn, out be fore J. M. Clark, Esq., aud Rev. Neiman, and C. Shuman, W. Fisher and George Breich were arrested, and came over hero for a hearing, accompanied by tho friends of both sides. With tho assistance of counsel necotlatlons were opened for a set tlement of tho difllculjjes, and the hearing was postponed. It is likely and certainly very desirable that tho matter may be ad justed without resort to tho Courts. Col. Geo. W.

Thursday afternoon of last week tbo sec- ond gamo of base-ball between tho Blooms, burg and Watsontown ball clubs was play ed at Athletic Park, and tho latter wcro completely routed. An oldlnary sized crowd was present, but not as much Inter est was manifested as would have been If thn game bad not been such a ono-sldcd ono. Wo remarked at the tlmo of tho oth er game, when tho homo club was so badly beaten, that they could beat tho Watson towners If tdcy played their usual game, and wo think it has been fully demonstrat ed that they can do so, although tho Wat sontowncrs aro anxious, or seem to be, to play them again for stakes, at any other grounds than those here. What Is the troublo with our grounds wo havo been unable to ascertain. Our boys aro very much elated over their victory, and they havo reason to feel pleas ed after their former defeat. Watsontown was rather too sangulno of their second conquest of Bloom, and It would havo been wise in them to havo waited until after the result of tho gamo was learned, beforo sending for a band to herald their victory. THE GAME. Shortly after one o'clock Umpire F. U. Sloan called "play," and the gamo began with Watsontown at the bat. On the pre vious game Heist had in off day, and the Watsontowncrs hit him pretty hard. But this game ho was in excellent form and did somo Qno work with tho ball; ho was nobly supported by Shannon. Tho Wat. sontowncrs wero shut out the first inning, while tho Bloom boys got In two runs. Tho second inning Bloom was shut out and Watsontown made their first run, after which they did not get In another run un til the last inning, when they made anoth er one, making a sum total of two runs. In the third inning Bloom made twelve runs and in the last Inning, eleven, which, with three others, made a big score of twenty-flyo. At tho bat, Watsontown made nothing but first-base hits, making but eight hits from Heist. Bloomsburg made fifteen first-base hits beside a two bagger by Hagenbticb, and three-baggers by Shaffer and Heist. Heist did good work at tho bat, pounding tho pitcher twico for three-baggers and onco for a base-hit. The homo nine were in excellent trim for play ing aud played a goqd game. The; mado but few errors, while their opponents piled them up fast. Tho full score is as follows: blooxsbcro. watsontown.

The great success of the Royal Baking Powder is duo to the oxtremo care exer cised by its manufacturers to make it en tirely pure, uniform in quality, and of the highest leavening power. All tho scientific knowledge, care and skill, attained by a twenty-years' practical cxpcrience,aro con' trlbutcd to this end, and no pharmaceuti cal preparation can be dispensed with a greater accuracy, preclson and exactness. Every article used is absolutely pure. A number of chemists are employed to test tbo strength of each ingredient, so that its exact power and effect in combination with its co-ingredients Is definitely known. Nothing is trusted to chance, and no person is employed in tho preparation of the ma terials used or the manufacture of the powder, who Is not an expert in bis partic ular branch of the business. As a conse quence, the Royal iiaking Powder is of the highest grade of excellence, always pure, wholesome and uniform in quality. Each box is exactly liko every other, and will retain its powers and produco tho same and tho highest leavening effect in any ell mato at any time. Tho Government Chem. ists after having analyzed all the principal brands in the market, in their reports placed tho Royal Baking Powder at the head of the list for strength, purity and wholesomeness, and thousands of tests all over the country have further demon strated tho fact that Its qualities are, In ev ery respect, unrivaled.

Through tho kindness of Mr. II. D. Quick wo print tho following letter from Mr. Uudsou Owen, of Berwick, whoso many friends will bo glad tp hear from him. Mr. Owen Is taking an extended trip In tbo West. Melrose, Wsshlngton Territory,) Sept. 80, 1880. I arrived hero Saturday, 34th. It Is a fine warm day. I am now at my brother's. Tho place lies in a beautiful valley, sur rounded by low hills with nradual slono, and as soon as you lcavo the prairie you get to tho finest timber cedar. I havo measured somo trees that aro 28 feet around tho trunk 4 feet from tho ground, and not n single limb tor moro than 100 fcct straight as an arrow, and solid tiom top to bottom. Tho soil is vory rich. My brother owns the biggest part of tbo prairie and considerable of timber land. Ho has 43 acres In ono field, with a lino fenco around It, all out with timothy this season. Being rather dry, ho only cut 135 tons of hay. That is ready sale at $20 per ton. What ho has already sold ha got $35 per ton for. At his door stands a soft maple; I took a leaf off of It 14 Inches across In any way. Thero aro lots of thoso yellow salmon in South crcok. Thoy aro fine, In size from ono to thrco feet. It is fun to see them go up the rifts. It you wero hero I could show fifty in five minutes. My brother's dog will plung In on tho rifts and bring a big fellow out from two to threo feet long, as quick as a dog could catch a pig. Thero Is plenty of coal here and tho trains aro mado up hero. Tho receipts of this station aro about twclvo thousand a month; my nephew Is the agent. It Is 25 miles from tho Sound. You can see Ta- coma mountain, about 20 miles to tho south, with a snow clad top tho year around. It is 14400 feet high. My nephew has fine apples and nice yellow plums, fully as large as a common hen's egg. They are just grand. Tho climato is fine. They have the finest kind of cars, sleeping and dining car; meals, 75 cents, and can't bo beat at the Exchange or Valley Houses. 1'hc other day whilo at dinner I ordered a bottle of California wlno for my brother and myself. It was brought at once. Tho waiter asked if he could do anything else for me. "Oh yes, bring me a glass of but ter milk." It was on hand at once. I stopped off at Helena and visited several gold mines. About 350 miles short of Ucl- lena I found my bod, who Is engaged with a party of engineers, some 85 miles south of the main line of tbo Northern Pacific at or 22 miles beyond Cceur do Leon City, over ond beyond Cccur de Leon Mountain and beyond Fourth of July Gulch. Here I met a cow boy and got him to go out that night and bring blm In. Ho under took the job and brought him in tho next morning at eight o'clock, both mounted on flno ponies. At three o'clock ho left me for his camp. He Is looking well and in tho employment of tho Northern Pacific railroad laying out branch roads. At Fond do Long City, Fort Shuman is erected, and Government troops aro stationed. This place is at the foot of Cord de Roy Lake, a beautiful sheet of water, lake, forty miles long, and has steam boats on it. The boats make daily trips on tho lako and river of 150 miles. 1 was on oue that was 150 feet in length and 35 feet in width. She was a stern wheeler and had two fine engines. Just across tho lako is the Spoke and In dian Reservation. I was oyer on it. Thero are gold mines in this vicinity and I saw carloads of gold dust in common sacks about as largo as a ham sack. They are very beavy,shippcd to Salt Lake sometimes. This Is just beyond tho Rocky and 1550 miles west of St. Paul. I am now just 3150 miles west of home.

The time of tho year has been reached, says a medical writer, when all persons should put on flannel of proper thickness, and wear an additional outside garment In tho ovenlng air. Most sickness In tho fall comes from taking cold. For Rlckett's Marasmus, and all wasting disorders of children, Scott's Emulnlon of Pure Cod Liver Oil, with Hypophusphltcs, Is uncqualed. Tho rapidity with which children gain tlosh and strength upon it la very wonderful. "I havo used Bcott's Emulsion In cases of Rickets and Maras mus of long standing. In every case the improvement was marked." J. M. Main, M. D., Mew York. tleittoii Fnlr. Tho fourth annual exhibition 6t tho Bon. 1 ton Agricultural Society held last week, was tho best of any previous years. The officers had mado many new and needed Improvements; and the exhibitors appro elated this, by tho way In which they brought their various articles. Tho house, hold department was filled, the limited space not being sufficient for tho exhibitors. Flno medio worn of overy kind was hero displayed. Tbo deft hands of tho ladles in tho surrounding country was shown in tho culinary department; bread, pics, cak.es, Jellies, fruits, preserves, spices and canned goods of tho very best variety were exhibit ed. In tho department of fruit, grain and vegetables, was an excellent display; ono pumpkin weighed 183 lbs a few others weighed nearly as much, Tho potatoes, turnips and all kinds of grains wcro tho best, and indicated that good farming is dono in that section. The sewing machines and musical In. strumeuts wcro represented by J. Saitzcr of Bloomsburg and B. F. Dreisbach of Berwick. Mr. 8altzcr's exhibit was fine as usual, and with the assistance of Prof. Mcthcrell, tho music rendered was so en. tortalning as to keep constantly a crowd about this department. Keller Bros, had a fine exhibit of stoves. Thcso young men aro wldo awako and havo built up a wldo trado In their line. Appleman Bros, had on exhibition sovcral largo farm wagons, two spring wagons, 1 skeleton wagon, and two sleighs. Berber & Smith of Stillwater, also had several farm wagons. White, Conner and Bloan of Orangevllle, had their celebrated thresher and separator, also grain drill, hay tedder, and plow. Mr. Frederick Hagcubuch, of Espy, had tho Dccrlng reaper and mower, and tho Crown grain drill. This grain drill has a wldo reputation. Tho display of poultry was small, but those on exhibition showed that they wero well cared for, and that tho exhibitors be lieved in having first-class stock. There was a good exhibit of horses and cattle. Tho race course was in good condition, except of not being hard enough for good trotters a few years will mako it ono of the best tracks in this section. The largo shed erected for those who wished to see tho trotting was crowded at every race. Tho fair was a success in every partic ular. Tho attendance was much greater than any previous years. The new railroad was taxed to Its utmost to accommodate the people. The early train on Friday morn- ing was so crowded with pcoplo that no stoppages wcro made between Bloomsburg uud Benton. A second train immediately followed and gathered the peoplo from all the stations between Bloomsburg and Ben ton. On Saturday also two loaded trains reached the grounds about 11 o'clock.

A large quanti ty of each was offered us : one 1 1-4 weighs 5 lbs. one 1 1 -4 weighs 6 lbs. To the careless eye these two Blankets look alike. I hey are the same size, and each is equal ly well made, but one contains one pound more of pure wool than the other. A question came up : "Shall we follow in the common track of the trade and make all we can out of our customers by charging $1 too much for the 5 lb. blankets, or shall we throw away $1 and charge $5 for the 6 lb. Blankets ?" 52 cases of 6 lb. Blankets, the best all-wool Blankets ever offered by us at $5 a pair. We (;ive you the $1. You get 6 bs. instead of 5 lbs. of wool.
