Non Fating subsciiiuers are thus
talked of by a Western editor: "Wagons,
cannot run without steam, bullfrogs con Dot
jump without legs, or a newspaper carried
on everlastingly without money, no more
than a dog can wag his tail when he has
uone. Our subscribers are all good, but

that every one thinks that all have paid

low, and his account is a little matter, it
makes no difierauce. Strange hallucina
tion Burned To Death. A ctild about
three years old, only daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Johu Alt, was burned to death on
Tacsday, at Mill Creek Mills, this townshp.
Mrs. Alt went to the mill, which is but a
short distance from the house, to see her
husbaud, who was working (here, and Jon
her return found the child wraped in flames
lying on the floor. Her clothes had, evident,
ly, caught fire wlffle the was trying to put
wood into the stove, as the door was found
open. She suffered about three hours when
death closed the scene.
Accident. Mr. and Mrs. A. Curaruiogs
and a little daughter, while passing from
the Depot to their new residence, on Wed.,
nesday, were thrown backward out of. a
hack striking on their heads and shoulders
giving them a severe jar. Fears were en
tertained that they were badly injured but
upon examining no bones were found bro
ken. They are recovering from the shock
and will Boon be around. Tbia is rather
a rough introduction to our town but there
is an old adage that says : "A bad begin,
oing makes a good ending." We wish
them success.
No IIuMBua. We do not mean to in
form you, reader, that Dr. Wonderful, or
any other man,' has discovdred a remedy
that cures all diseases of mind, body estate
and is designed to make our rublunary

tcish to inform you that Dr. Sage's Catarrh

as follows : ' "Dear papa, I have been to

Meant Business. A Chicago school
teacher testified as foilows the other day :
"Witness had had trouble with Maggie
Lynn. On one occasion the girl refused
point blank to spell a word, whereupon
witness, anticipating a squabble, took the
precaution to remove her watch chain. eur
rings, and such other loose articles as might

were cleared for action, she told Maggie
she would give her one minute by the watch
to spell the word. She spelled it."

The engraving, 28x82 Inches, Is from the or
Iginal painting, entitled, 'Ihe Pic-Nie on tbe
Fourth of July.'
Tbe painting took a whole year, and is con
sidered the fined of the entire list of numerous
populor productions by Lillis M. Spenoer. The
engraving was the labor of four years, by
three eminent artists Joha Rodgere, Samuel
Halpin, and Samuel Hollyer ; The last named
having been induced to come from Europe to
finish it. The engravers have ably seconded
the suooessful labors of the painter. None but
artiBtc can fully appreciate the skill and labor
lavished on this engraving The general ef
tect is very fine and impressive, and the deli
rate finish to the heads will bear tbe most mi
nute inspection. The union of line and stipple
is executed with unusual ability, and their
skilful combination has greatly contributed to
tbe success of the engravers in this unsurpass
ed proof of their geuius.
Thejwork on the engraving alone eost over
seven thousand dollars, besides the cost of tha
copyright, and is acknowledged by competent
judges ihe most elaborately finished large work
or art evor engraved in America.
Fine copies of this magnifioent pioture, on
heavy plate paper, worth $10 each, are to be

easy and economical way for any one to secure
an eletrant work of art, a Parlor Picture that
is only next to a piano in the way of ornamen

which ought to to be cherished and hold in re
membrance by every true American.
The reception of this magnificent picture
will take every one by surprise and we do not
