Mr. Dent's store was broken into
a few weeks ago. The money drawer
was broken open, and the contents
taken, which, fortunately, did not
amount to much. Several pocket
knives were also taken from the show
case. The thief used matches instead
of a lantern, burnt matches were
found in different parts of the store,
one was found on a heap of paper
which it scorched but did uot set on
fire.
Last Sabbath was well reverenced
at this place. Elder Pierce preached
in the picnic ground opposite Mr.
Dent's house, from the text, "God is
not man that He should lie." The
sermon was excellent and did great
credit to the Elder's ability and was
well received by the people. After the
sermon the Sacrament of the Lord's
Supper was administered. In the
afternoon Rev. Greenly of Weedville,
favored us with a sermon. In the
evening prayer meeting was held in

The West Chester Newt says that
a new pestiferous insect has made its
appearance and is making havoc with
some of the corn fields. It is a
beetle from three-eights to half an'

long, wire-like proboscis, and its body
is adorned with wings, which it uses
for carrying itself from one point to
another, although its depredations are

Hehnbold's Buehu has long been
known as one of the most valuable
medicines attainable in certain classes
of diseases, such as dyspepsia, chn
rheumatism, dropsy, cutaneous a
onie
.i flec
tions, and especially affections of the
urinary organs. As a diuretic, it is
superior to almost any other medicine
in use, and the great care with which
it is prepared, the absolute purity of
the preparation, end the diligence
used in the selection of the crude ma
terial, have made it known far ami
wide as a reliable aud effective prep
aration, and one that can always be
used with safety and benefit. The
reat success of Hehnbold's Buehu
has led to the production of many
spurious preparations, w hich are made
cheaply and placed upon the market
to be sold on the reputation acquired
by Helmltold's original preparation.
Parties who desire a really good mcdi

Jamestown, N. Y., July 24. At
ten o'clock last night a farmer named
James Crosby returned to his home
near Conewango station, fifteen miles
from Jamestown. He entered his
house by-an unfastened kitchen door.
took off his coat and boots and then
called his wife. He had no sooner
spoken than he received a heavy blow
on the head. He grasped his assailant
aud fought until he was dragged to
the roadway, where he received an
other blow and was also shot through
the hand. His assailants then fled.
A cry of murder brought neighbors to
the scene of the disturbance, and on
entering the house they found Mrs.
Crosby lying in her bed dead, and the
pillows stained with blood. Finger
prints on her neck showed that she
had been chokei death to prevent
alarming others in the house. She
had htiM dead about half an hour
when found. A little child in a ti un.
die bed near its mother was not awak
ened. Private papers' were overhauled
by the robbers, and a revolver and a
small amount of money carried oil".

List of Losses.
THE DAMAGES OF TIIE C4KEAT STOHM
IN THE OIL COUNTRY.
Pittsburg, July 28. The following
Is a partial list of losses Ht Petrolia by
Saturday's floods: Whartley's, $15,-
000; Bootner's jewelry store, $.5,000;
While Fawn restaurant, $',000; Stern
burg's clothing house, $12,000; Levine,
cigars, $1,000 ; Foot's drug store, $0,
000; Session's grocery store, -$3,001);
five vacant buildings, $"t,0(H); Central
drug store, $2,500. The loss in that
neighborhood Is roughly plaeed at at
$200,000. The scene during the . de
struction was terrible, men, women
aud children rushed -hither ami I hither
in search of elevated positions, where
life would be secure. Many people
lost all their effects and are left In a
state of destitution. The storm was
most, severe up the Monongahela and
Allen hen v valleys. The report of
bridges destroyed and culverts washed
out on the Pittsburg, Ft. Wayne and
Chicago railroad, are incorrect. The
only damage on that line was a land
slide, which was cleared away in a
couple of hours. The damage on the
Erie branch of that road was repaired
Saturday evening. The main line of
the Pennsylvania railroad escaped
damage. Several heavy land-slides
occurred on the line of the Pittsburg,
Virginia and Charleston railroad.
The track was washed out at Black
Diamond and the Mingo valley Hood
ed. The rivers at this point rose
from ten inches to ten feet In less than
ten hours.

The boys and others who go in
swimming will do well to take heed
of the following advice:
Avoid bathing within two hours
after a meal, or when exhausted by
fatigue or from any other cause, or
when the body iscoolln rafter perspira
Hon, ami avoid bathing altogether In
the open air if, after being a short time
in the water, there is a sense of chilli
ness, witii numbness ot' the hands and
feet, but bathe when the body is warm,
provided no time is lost in getting into
the water. Avoid chilling the body
by sitting or standing, undressed on
the banks or in boats, after having
been in the water, or rennining too
long in the water, but leave the water
immediately there is the slightest feel
ing of chilliness. The vigorous and
strong may bathe early In the morning
on an empty stomach) but the young
and those who are weak had better
bathe two or three hours alter a meal ;
the best time for such is from two to
three hours after breakfast. Those
who are subject to attacks of giddiness
or faintness, and who sutler from pal
pitation of the heart, should not bathe
without fiist consulting their medical
adviser." Alter bathing a vigorous
use of the towel is very beneficial, and
should be followed by moderate ex
ercise 1 1. a gentle reaction sets in. The
old notion of plunging into cold water
when the body is heated has long ago
been exploded. Iu fact it is now
clearly established that the colder the
water the hotter should be the bather.
Fever patients, it is well known, never
take cold even it wholly immersed lor
brief intervals in ice water, if the
body is not already in a vigorous jslow,
untiling is sure to uo more harm than
good.

Is a compound of the, virtues of sarsaparllla,
tillingia, nianilrake, yellow dock, with the
iodide ol potash ami irou, an now-eriui nioua
making, blood-eleaitsing, and life-sustaiiiiag
elements. It is the unrest, safest, and iu
every way the most effectual alterative medi-
ciue known or available to the public, run
sciences of medicine and chemistry hava
never produced so valuable, a remedy, nor
one so potent to cure all dispnses resultina
from impure blood. It cares Scrofula, nnd
all scrofulous diseases, Krysipelas, Hose,
or St. Anthony's Fire, Pimples and
Face-grubs, Pustules, Hlotoltes, Roils,
Tliinois, Tetter, Humors, Halt Klieiini,
Scald-head, Klngwoioi, Ulcers, Sores,
lilieiiniatism. Mercurial Uisease, Neu
ralgia, Female Weaknesses and Irregu
larities, Jaundice, Atl'eetlons of the
Liver, Dyspepsia, Kniaciution, aud
General Debility.
By its searching and cleansing qualities
it purges oat the fonl corruptions which
contaminate the blood, and cuase derange
ment and decay. It stimulates aud enlivens
the vital functions, ft promotes energy and
strength. It restores and preserves health.
It infuses new life aud vigor throughout the
whole svsteiu. No Builerer from any disease
widen arises from impurity of the blood need
despair, who will give avf.h s oaksacariixa
a fair trial. Remember, the earlier the
trial, the speedier the cure.
Its recipe has been furnished to physicians
everywhere; and they, recognizing its supe
rior qualities, administer it iu their practice.
For
BILLA
nearly forty years Ayeb's SarsApa-
has been widely used, and it now pos-
esses the confidence of millions of people
who have experienced benefits from its mar
vellous curative virtues.
