hundred cases of scarlet fever, by giving the pa
tient warm lemonade with gum arabic dissolved

mended.

number of eases of diseases of a , l kinds, etc.. from
all the inhabited portions of the worid. A late
c o py of the periodical issued by the Board was

"We cannott, but smile," says an exchange,
"when a man tells us ho cannot take his local
paper because he wants a city paper. lie might
as well say he cannot afford bread because lie in
tends having sponge cake. Meanwhile he has to
ask his neighbor about the local news and notices,
and the local paper goes on building up his place
and business and conveniences without support.
It is not manly, and we say without hesitation
that there is something out of joint with the man
who does not support his local paper "
A very simple relief for neuralgia is to boil a
small handful of lobelia in a half pint of water
till the strength is out of the herb, then strain it
off and add a teaspoonful of fine salt. Wring
cloths out of this liquid as hut as possible, anti
spread over the part effected. It acts like a
charm. Change the cloths as soon as cold.—
Rheumatism can often be relieved by application
to the painful parts of cloths wet in solution of
sal-soda in water. If there is inflammation in the
joints, the cure is very quiet , . Thu wash needs to
he lukewarm.
A Juniata township unt-ried couple, the other
day, had a war of words, because the wife bought
a box of pilic and Ipurnt a lo.Lf of bread. After
wards, the wife foun4 her husband reading a lot
of letters from a relative in the west, which raised
the (.1.1 nick in her, when she "went for her man,"
tearing his shirt into shreds, and proving herself
the "hest half" of the two. Sin .e then that house
hold mourns the loss of a lord and master, for he
has flown to parts unknown, all on account of
jealousy, a box of pills and a burnt loaf of bread.
That woman is better off without her —.an(?).

To the Members of the Repithlicato Coo.•ty Coo
vention—Goitionto : Having been placed in nom
ination before your Convention as a candidate for
Sheriff, I hereby request the withdrawal of my
name. Ido this after full deliberation, and after
a free consultation with my friends, feeling that
the success of the party demands that I make this
sacrifice. I have been, lam proud to say, one of
the slaves of the . partT, and feeling that I had a
perfect right to snare in the honors, I went into
this canvass, which I tried to conduct as fairly
and honorably as I knew bow. I treated no oan
dinate meanly or dishonorably, but feeling that
my nomination would, to a certain extent, divide
and distract the party, and, perhaps, endanger the
success of the ticket, I withdraw from the contest,
and in doing so I return my sincere thanks to my
friends who have so nobly stood by me, and I
implore this convention to move cautiously. Give
us a ticket fr9e from all objections, no matter how
imaginary those objections may seem to be. Let
the delegates rise above personal feeling, and do
what their best judgment tells them ought to be
done. I love the old party; its principles are
dear to me, and because, above all other things I
desire the success of the party, I am impelled to
take this step. This election is a very important
one. None of us can afford to throw any objec
tions in the way of party success. DJ your duty. i
Do it with an eye single to success, and we wil
be able to roll up such a majority in old Mother
Huntingdon as will strike terror into the hearts
of our political enemies. Nu man has a right to
stand in the way of party success in such an im
portant crisis at this, and feeling this, is why 1
take this ctep.
Hoping that wise counsels may prevail, and
that each individual delegate will feel the respon
sible position he holds,
I remain yours, very respectfully,

and Wool Products, for which purpose the liberal
sum of SS3OO iu cash has been appropriated.—
During this week, however, all other exhibits,
with the exception of Horses, Cattle, Swine, and

varied that has ever been held by any State So
ciety, and will be second in numbers and merit
only to the ever-memorable International Exhi
bition,,held at the same place during the Centen
nial Year. The premium list, which can be ob

office, North-west corner Tenth and Chestnut
Streets, Philadelphia, is the most complete and
thorough that has ever been presented by any
similar organization, and offers for competition in

$24,315. In the Dairy, Fruit, Vegetable and
Floral Departments, the further sum of $6OOO is
added, besides a large number of elegant and
valuable gold, slver and bronze medals, whose in

more than $lO,OOO in actual cash. _ _ _

ported, Thoroughbred, Fine Bred, and Draught
Horses; herds of Short Horn, Devon, Holstein,
Jersey and Guernsey Cattle; the choicest breeds
of Sheep, Swine. ttc., together with a Mechanical,
Vegetable arid Manufacturing Collection seldom,
if ever, brought together in any community. Ex
cellent and commodious stabling has been pre
pared wiqlin the building fur Horses and Horned
Cattle, and a:suitable space assigned on the ground
adjacent for the accommodation of Swine. The
Machinery, Dairy, Fruit., Floral, and Domestic
Departments are all provided under cover, and
will undoubtedly prove attractive and instructive
features of the Fair. A space has also been as
signed for the exercise and display of all the en
tries in the Live Stock Classes, but no racing will
be permitted. Green food will be supplied all the
Mitch Cows on exhibition, and hay and straw
furnished all entries gratis.

SIGHT TO THE BLIND.—A month nr
so ago "Aunt Patsey" Bean, aged about 70,
from the "Bean Settlement," Hardy county,
was brought to this place to consult the
Oculist, Dr. W. F. Fundenberg, in regard to
her eyes—the sight of both being totally
blind. Upon examination the Doctor pro
nounced the cause of her blindness to be from
'cataracts" and by their removal sight might
be restored. Having heard .of Dr. F.'s great
skill as an Oculist, she submitted to an opera
.
tion by which both cataracts were removed at
one time and to-day we are pleased to note that
the sight of both eyes jtas been entirely restored
The delight of thiPold lady in again being
able to see after having been blind for so
many years, can scarcely be imazined. The
operation of removing a cataract is one of the
most delicate known in surgery, and Dr. F.
my well be proud of his success in the opera
tion.—Keyser (W. Va.) Tribune.

Fields Station, has written to the Williams
port Banner as follows :
"Hearing of people being bitten by snakes,
and this is the season for them, I wish to say
for the good of the people that there is a sure
cure, one that has been tried with success.
It is an herb called Robins' plantian. Make a
tea of the leaves and give the patient to drink,
and it will give relief almost instantly. Th•
nest year's 'growth of the plant resembles the
common plantian, but has a dark green color
with notched leaves having a spicy taste. The
second year it will grow irom two to three
feet high, having small white blossoms on it
about the size of a golden button. it can he
found in almost any meadow."
