HEIRS WANTED.
Another estate is waiting in England
for heirs to turn up iu this or some
other country. Heirs next of kin, are
wanted of Ellen (or Helen) Blake, sup
posed daughter of Sarah and Richard
Sheridan, who married Gen. Blake in
Glasgow, in 1819, and died in Eng
land in 1876. It appears in the history
of these families that Ellen was sup
posed to be the daughter of Sarah Cas
sidy and Richard Sheridan, a ship
ping merchant in Dublin, who was
married about 1785, and had several
children. Ellen was married in 1803 to
James Walsh. He died in 1310, and
Ellen continued the stationery busi
ness until 1814, when she sold out.
Soon afterward she went with her
maidservant to Glasgow. In 1819
Gen. Robert D. Blake of the English
army, a son of Sir Francis Blake of
Irish Castle,, fell in love with the
widow, and she was married to him.
Gen. Blake's family were opposed to
his marriage. He was the possessor of
large estates and the money incomes
thereof, and when he made his last
will and testament, in 1851, he be
queathed all his estate, real and per
sonal, to bis wife. She died intestate
in September, 1876, leaving a large es
tate in Norfolk, England, worth, it is
estimated, more than $1,000,000, and
as no relatives or next of kin came for
ward to claim the estate, the Solicitor
of the Treasury took out letters of ad
ministration for the Crown on the es
tate, and it is now waiting for the
proper heirs, the nearest relatives of
Ellen Sheridan-Blake, as under the will
of Gen. Blake his relatives have no
claim.
Solicitors in England and Scotland
have sent the case to John P. Jayne,
the old claim lawyer, on Murray stfeet,
but he has not been able yet £o find
the rightful heirs to this estate. "This
is no humbug," he said. *'The money
is there and can now be recovered on
the proper evidence before the court in
London, and I think that the Sheridan
families in this country have not taken
the interest they should have done in
a case of such importance to them as
this one in examining the records of
their families and sending them to
me."
HAMMER SIGNALS.
When the blacksmith gives the anvil
quick light blows, it is a signal to the
helper to use the sledge, or to strike
quicker.
The force of the blow g'ven by the
blacksmith's hammer indicates the
force of the blow it is required to give
the sledge.
The blacksmith's helper is supposed
to strike the work in the middle of the
width of the anvil, and when this re
quires to be varied the blacksmith in
dicates where the sledge blows are to
fell by touching the required spot with
his hand hammer.
If the sledge is required to have lat
eral motion while descending, the
blacksmith indicates the same to the
helper by delivering hand hammer
blows in which the h and hammer moves
fft the direction required for the sledge
to move.
If the blacksmith delivers a heavy
blow upon the work and an intermedi
ate lignt blow on the anvil, it denotes
that heavy sledge blows are required.
If there are two or more helpers, the
blacksmith strikes a blow between each
helper's sledge hammer blow, the object
being to merely denote where the
sledge blows are to fall.
When the blacksmith desires the
sledge blows to cease, be lets the hand
hammer head fall upon the anvil and
continues its repound upon the same
until it ceases.
Thns the movements of the hand
hammer constitute signals to the helper
and what appear desultory blows to
the common observer, constitute the
method of communication between the
blacksmith and his helper.

and birds of a feather flock together.
Maad (an aristocratic child): —
"How pretty and clever you are,
mother 1 I'm so glad you married in
to our family."
"Inn trouble," as the barkeeper
shouted when the roughs kicked up a
row in the bar-room.
A Cincinnati man calls his visiting
mother-in-law Resumption, because
she has come to stay.
"Does your wife play euchre ?"
asked one. "No," replied the other,
rubbing his head, "but she's death on
poker."
Why should a postal card be spoken
of as the feminine gender ? Because it
can't keep a secret.
"Please to understand," said the
Honorable Billy the other day. "I'm
not such a fool as I look." "No,"
said Bob, "tbatwhould be too much."
A clergyman who has a habit of
adding "ah" to many of his words,
told of "those who had been brought
up on the Lord's side-ah"
"It is odd, and sometimes melan
choly," remarks an exchange, to see a
man trying to 'make up his mind'
when he has no material on hand to
work with.
The expression "Uneasy lies the
head that wears a crown" is absurd,
because no sensible king ever goes to
bed with a crown on. He always
hangs it on the back of a chair with
bis vest.
An imaginative Irishman gives ut
terance to this lamentation; "I re
turned to the halls of my fathers by
night, and I found them ruins! I
cried aloud : 'My fathers, where are
they ?" and an echo responded; 'ls
that you, Patrick McClathery ?'"
The New York Tribune says oleo
margarine is pronounced eleomargra/i
--roon, with the g hard. Nearly all the
papers we have seen pronounce oleo
margarine a fraud. And perhaps that
is the best way, as it requires fewer
letters, and is much more easily pro
nounced.
A capital anecdote is told of a little
fellow who in turning over the leaves
of a scrap book came across the well
known picture of some chickens just
out of their shell. "My companion
examined the picture carefully and
then with a grave, sagacious look at
me slowly remarked : 'They came out
'cos they was afraid of being boiled.' "
She had a pretty diploma tied with
pink ribbon, from one of our best young
ladies' colleges. In conversation with
a daring and conrageous young man,
after he had detailed the dangers and
delights of riding on a locomotive, she
completely upset his opinion of inde- (
pendent education of the sexes by in
quiring, "How do you steer a locomo
tive anyhow J"

"You know," said Plato to Socrates,

Socrates nodded assent
"Now," continued Plato, "if melons

"I'd put them," replied Soctates,

WAS IT WIND OR LIOHTNINO ?—A
suit has been brought in the Circuit
Court at Madison, Wisconsin, to col
lect from an insurance company for
damages done by the great storm of
1878. The property was insured against
lightning, and the company resist pay
ment on the ground that it was des
troyed by wind. The plaintiff hopes to
prove by the evidence of members of
the Signal Corps that the whirlwind
which destroyed his house was of elec
trical origin." A vast amount of insur
ance is likely to be affected by the de
cision of this case, owing to the heavy
losses of property during the recent
whirlwinds.
BATTLE BETWEEN A PHEASANT AND
A SNAKE. —A few days since Colin Mi
nor, of Waynesburg, Pa., while in the
woods hunting, seated himself on a log
to rest, when his attention was attract
ed by the sound of what he thought to
be chickens fighting On approaching
the spot where the contest was going
on he discovered a hen pheasant bat
tling with a black snake. She t-eemed
to be greatly excited and would make
vigorous attacks upon the snake, pick
ing and striking it with her wings.
His snakeship was coiled, and did not
seem to offer much resistance, simply
warding off the blows by striking at
the pheasant and guarding its body
from her attacks. After witnessing
the scene for some time, Mr. M. shot
the snake, when upon examination he
found that jt had one of the pheasant's
eggs in its mouth. The snake meas
ured about eight feet in length.

This disease like many others is regarded ■
as incurable. It is not so. If it is taken in '
time it is as easily cured as a wart or a corn.
We know very well that it is a fearful disease
and will eat away until it destroys life, that ,
is if it is neglected, but if it is attended to
when it first makes its appearance, or soon
after, there is no trduble in eradicating it '
from the system. Persons will have to be here
during part of the treatment, consequently
there is no use writing to me for information J
whether it can be cured without my seeing the

SUPERIOR MILLING!
WALTER & BOOS,
Proprietors of the Well-Known Splendid
FLOURING MILL
BUTLER, I>.A.
We wish to inform the public that we have remodeled our Mill with the
latest improved
Gradual Reduction System Machinery,
which is well known by Millers to be the best in existence. We can say to
Farmers and Producers of wheat that it will be profitable to them
to give us a trial. We claim that we can make a
BETTER ARTICLE OF FLOUR, AND MORE OF IT,
out of the same number of uushels of wheat than any other Mill in the
county, and equal to any lirst-class Mill in the city, or Western Mills.
The new Under-running Mill, used for Regrinding, bought of Munson & 13r0.,
Utica, N. Y.; the George T. Smith Middlings Purifier, bought
at Jackson, Mich., together with Bolting Cloths,
Reals, Conveyers, Ac., suitable for
the Machinery, cannot be
Excelled in the United States
or elsewhere. This may seem an exaggeration to some, but we wish the pub
lic to know that we are able to perform all that we publish, as we have given
our machinery a thorough test in the presence of several good Millers aud
Millwrights, and it has proven even better than it was guaranteed to do.
We are also remodeling our Mill for
Grinding Other Kinds of ©rain,
which will be entirely satisfactory to our customers. Fanners wishing to
hove their grist home with them the same day, can do so on
short notice. They will thereby save another trip.
WE HAVE ALWAYS ON HAND THE BEST GRADES OF
WfcCIAT FLOUR, GRAHAM FLOUR, RYE FLOUR,
Buckwheat Flour, Bolted and Unbolted Corn Meal, different kinds of Chop,
Bran and Mill Feed, all of the best qualitv and at the
LOW JEST PRICES.
Parties in town purchasing from us will have their orders promptly
atended to and articles delivered at their place of residence.
We Pay the Hiqhest Market Price for all Kinds of Grain.
