Profitable) Investment.
It cannot be doubted that a certain
amount of money invested, monthly
or annually, in advertising one's busi
ness, is a wise procedure which no sys
tematic or careful business man should
neglect. It Is an investment which
will l'AY, not merely a nominal in
terest, but, in many cases, over a
hundred times the money so invested.
There is no danger that default or
suspension will destroy this invest
ment. There can be no depreciation
of its value, and no loss of the stun in
vested. It is possible for a man to ob
tain a moderate share of success .with
out the aid of advertising, if he has no
rivals who do advertise, but the same
amount of energy aiid enterprise,
aided by advertising, would confer on
hJiu success and fortune Impossible
without such aid and co-operation.
And should any one doubt the truth
of this statement, he has but to test
the power of advertising by invest
ment of a sum which he can afford,
and we are confident that he will re
ceive a return which It would not be
possible for him to obtain from an
outlay of the same magnitude in any
other way. On this point Which is all
essential, business men should con
sider that advertising is the fruitful
origin of prosperity and greatness!

A Chase After Horse. Thieves
For several days previous ttt Ihe
n'lglit of the 28th of June, a number of
tranlps were noticed hovering in and
around this borough. On the morn
ing of the 29th, Judge Clyde was short
a set of harness, and Samuel Irwin, a
neighbor, (both residing in Lawrence
township, about three and a half
miles north of this '.borough) Was
minus a horse and buggy. Hence it
was pretty well settled that there was
a case of horse stealing on hand, and
Mr. Lewis ami two other gentlemen
soon hitched up a team ami set out to
overhaul the thief, or thieves. By the
tracks of the horse and buggy, It was
pretty 'plain that tho thieves Were
moving down through Frenchvllle,
and pursuit Was made ns rapidly as
possible. But Mr. Irwin, finding that
he could not overtake the runaways,
telegraphed to Westport, upon reach
ing the railroad at the mouth of the
Sinnenmahoning. In this way the
thieves were headed off between West
port and Ronovo and when ordered
to halt, one man Jumped fl'titn the
buggy and started for the woods, and
Oil refusing to halt, one of the pur
Miora discharged a pistol at him. the
ball taking effect in the arm, Which
caused tho fellow to twirl around three
or four times like ft ton and then he
begged for quarter. While this was
going on, the other fellow leaped
from the btlggy, tt0 and plunged into
the river, and while making for the
"other shore", the captors fired sev
eral shots at the swimmer, one ball
passing through his hat, peeling the
hair olf the top of his scalp. Tlie fir
ing and noise attracted the attention
of parties on the Opposite side of the
river, who, upon learning that the
fellow in the water was a horse thief,
commenced stttniflg him, pelting him
right smartly. Mr. Thief, discovering
that his reception would evidently be
rather warm "over there," turned
and commenced swimming down
stream. The captors then also fom
menced flinging stones at him, and
when he fouud the pebbles lighting
on him from both shores, and the
water getting deeper, and supposing
that there would be no "let up1' in
the flinging of stones, he begged for
quarter and turned for the shore from
which he started. And after reach
ing dry land again, he made an at
tempt to escape by running into a
thicket of hushes, into which the
capturing party hurled the stones by
the handful. This soon extracted the
yell of "murder" out of the fellow in
the brush, and upon surrendering, he
Was secured and handcuffed to his con
federate, and tlie next day lodged in
our prison.
The thieves made a very narrow
escape with their lives, nnd they com
plain bitterly of the reception they re
ceived at the hnildsof tlie West porters,
alleging that the people down there
cannot be more than half civilised
from the Way they treated them. As
there is no sympathy for horse thieves
anywhere, We think that they madea
fortunate escape when they got away
With their lives,
Tlie thieves claim to hail from
Columbus, Ohio, and give their names
as Fred Smith and Frank Long, the
former aged 25 and the latter li) years
of aire rather young for that kind of
calling. Mr. Irwin found his horse
very much run down, and the buggy
almost ruined. The thieves had
missed the road a short distance lie
low tlie mouth of theSinncmahoning,
and horse, buggy and all went down
150 feet, and lauded on the railroad
track all "right side up" except the
buggy, which was considerably dam
aged. Tlie escape from death of both
men ami horse, Wasliiiraculous.
Oar Daughters.
Frst and foremost give them a good
an education as you can afford. J .earn
them to cook good and healthy vic
tuals. Learn them to wash, iron, darn
stockings, sew on buttons, make their
own clothing, and to make at least a
good common shirt. Learn tlienl to
bake bread, and to conceive that a good
kitchen lias much to do, to prevent
you going to the drug-store. Learn
them that a hundred cents are Worth
u dollar, and he that saves less than lie
spends must become poor. Learn
them that a calico dress that is paid for
is better than a silk one for which you
owe. Learn them that a full round
face is worth more than consumptive
beauty. Learn them to wear good
strong shoes. Learn them to purchase
goods and to know that the bill is
right. Learn them that they can
change the image of God with corset
strings. Learn thein simple, whole
some, common sense, self-trust self-
help, nnd laborousness. Learn them
that an honest mechanic is worth
more iti ills shirt sleeves and apron,
and that without a cent in his pocket,
than a dozen well dressed and res
pected day-thieves. Learn tbm to
work in the garden, if you can spare
the money also music, painting and
the fine arts, but know that these
things belong to the nonessentials.
Learn them that to take a Walk is bet
ter than to ride in a splendid carriage
and that wild flowers are most
beautiful, to the one that studies with
care. Learn them to spurn all show,
and when they say yes, or no, that
they mean it. Learn them that hap
piness in married Jito is not enjoyed
merely outwardly, and it does not de
pend on a man's money only, but on
ids religious views and character.
Have you brought this o their hearts,
then they understand it, then let them
marry when the time comes, they wil1
be very apt to find the right way.

The Philadelphia Press has the fol
fowing to say about Republican defeat
next fall : Outside paragraphists are
active in predicting a Republican d&
feat in Pennsylvania next election;
but they omit to state 'that the most
distressful element is Democratic,
simply from the fear that the efforts of
President Hayes for Peace and Re
form may succeed. These efforts
promise well ; and if they triumph, the
good people of Pennsylvania will be to
the front to sustain him in very heavy
battallions next November, and these
good people are wishing him God
siieed everywhere, here and all ovsi
the laud.
