Opinion of Dr. Mott, Late Gov
ernment Chemist, on All
cock's Porous Piaster.
My investigation of ALLCOOK'S POROUS
PI.ASTKR shows it to contain valuable and
tial ingredients not found in any other plaster.
These ingredients are so perfeclly proportioned
that the Allcoek's Porous Plaster will not cause
blisters or excessive irritation, and I find it
superior to and more efficient than any other
plaster.

—II. H. Goucher, Esq., formerly of this

could be desired. See advertisement in an
other place. a!5,3t.
—A young man named Thomas Dawkins
was drowned in Conneaut Lake during the en!
campment there last week. He was an expert

—There will be a colored Campmeeting held

—Our enterprising shoe merchant, Mr. John
Bickel has returned from his visit to the east
ern l»oot and shoe markets, where he purchased
his fall stock of goods, which are now arriving
daily. John employs eight men in his store
room and manufacturing department, aud his
stock is now so complete, that you can find
anything you want there, lie sure to give him
a call before purchasing your fall goods.
—lt is believed that the manufacture of tin
were in this country ranks next in importance
to the business of making shoes. The ware is
cheap, but of late years of inferior quality.
The using of bad materials in making cans for
fruits, vegetables and meats often leads to sick
ness, sometimes fatal, among consumers of the
canned articles. This is a feature of the in
dustry that the law makers should look after.
Perhaps it would avail nothing; but there is
comfort in having lota of good, useless laws on
hand. They furnish lawyers with reading
matter.
—The stations on the new railroad between
Butler and Brancliton, as far as named, are as
follows: Oneida, Jamisonville, Euclid and
Hickory Mills. Oneida is the McGrath Mills
or Pine tract station, and is three miles dis
tant from Greece City. Jamisonville is on the
Samuel Miller farm, in the northern part of
Centre township, a (mile or so from Union
ville. Euclid station is between the big cu l
and the big fill, and is the station for Sun
bury, which town is about two miles to the
north and cast of the station. Hickory Mills
station is on the Keister property in Slippery
rock township, near the mills.
—Win. A. Forqner, Esq., on Monday last,
commenced the work of tearing down one of
the old buildings in Dougal's row, east side,
upon the site of which he will erect a new
office and residence. The work of demolition
of one of the old buildings upon the west side
row still continues. It is being carefully, anil
patiently taken down by Mr. John McCormick
for Mr. Mitchell, with the view, we understand,
of preserving the material. Just what kind of
building Mr. Mitchell intends erecting in its
stead is not known; there is much difference of
opinion, but we think all may rest assured that
it will be a large, fine and commodious one.
—Mr. J. W. Brown, of this place, is agent
for Swinton's Readers, Spellers, Geographies,
Histories, Etc. Professor Swinton, the author
of these books, is a man of acknowledged abil
ity as an educator and writer of text book?.
The above books have been introduced into
several of the schools of this county, and also
in those of adjoining counties. We have ex
amined these books, and can say for them that
they are certainly all that is claimed of them.
They are handsomely bound in cloth, and
printed from large clear type and are beautiful
ly illustrated. Mr. Brown is a resident of this
county, and any patronage by the citizens
would be no more than just. Much more
might be said about the series, but they will
speak for themselves.
—A sensation was created at Erie on Monday
of last week, by the descent of an armed de
tachment of State militia from the encampment
of the Second Brigade at Conneaut Lake. Thi9
and similar armed parties had been dispatched
simultaneously by General Beaver, with in
structions to swoop down upon all soldiers who
had failed to report for service and bring them
under guard to camp for trial by court martial.
Immediately upon arriving in Erie the detach
ment proceeded in search of absentees. Senti
nels were placed at the doors of business
houses where absentees were clerking, and the
sergeant went in and arrested the luckless ones.
The armory of the Erie Guards had been
converted into a guardhouse andjthe prisoner ß
as fas* as captured were placed in confinement*
There are thirty-four absentees in Erie.
—We desire in this issue to call the attention
of our readers to the dates of the Fair for the
present year, in our advertising columns. The
officers of the Agricultural Society here are
using every means in their power to make the
coming Fair the best that has ever been held
in our county. The grounds have been put in
splendid condition, and everything done to add
to the very many conveniences for the accom
modation of the exhibitors. There is unusual
interest manifested in the desire to have good
stock of all kinds by our farmers, which is
doubtless the result of the successful manage
ment of our Fairs. The only way this interest
can be kept up, is by a comparison of your
stock, and this can only be accomplished by
exhibiting it at the Fairs. Let your interest
in the Fair be measured by your desire to
make your farming successful. Comparing
the products of your farm adds to your own
success as well as to the exhibition. Farmers
must not forget that without their exhibits the
Fair will be a failure. We hope that every
township in the county will be well represent
ed at the coming Fair, both in attendance and
exhibits. Remember that onr Fair is the only
one in the State where premium* are paid on
the grounds during the Fair.

Prof. Leason Coming Back.
We understand that another musical conven
tion under the direction of I'rof. L. S Leason,
will open on Monday, Sept. 3d, to continue for
two weeks, closing with a concert sept, tilth.
This will be the fourth convention held by Mr.
treason in this place within the last year,
which speaks well for the musical enterprise of
Butler. It is unnecessary to speak of Mr.
Leason's well known talents as teacher of vocal
music, for his success here, as well as other
places where he has taught, is his best recom
mendation.
We trust our young folks will go to work in
earnest and make this convention more success
full than any heretofore held.
The Muddycreek Falls.
The following account of a day spent at
Muddycreek Falls by the young members of
the Reformed Church, was written by one of
the party:
We left Butler at 5:30 A. M., with nine con
veyances and twenty-eight persons. Nothing
happened till on the other side of Portersville
when three of the vehicles took the wrong
road, we turned to the left instead of going
straight on. We did not know of our mistake
until we stopped to wait for the rest of the
party. After waiting about one hour we be
gan to think somebody was lost. One of the
party asked a lady, who lived near by, and
she put us right and we arriveil at the Falls
about half an hour after the rest, but we were
not sorry that we took the wrong road, as in
our estimation, it is the most beautiful way a
person can go to the Falls, as the rocks on the
upper side of the road reach to a height of
thirty-fiye feet above the read-bed, and run
along the road about one hundred yards. One
of the large rocks reaches out over the road so
far that in case of rain a vehicle can be shelter
ed under it. As stated before we arrived late.
The first thing to do was to find a place to
spread the cloth, which was found in the grove
on the opposite side of the creek where the
ladies, and with the assistance of a few gentle
men, got dinner. When ready we all tried
to do ample justice to the delicious food the
ladies so bountifully prepared for the occasion.
After dinner who were thoughtful
enough to bring rods and lines along, went to
try their luck. I din not learn if they caught
a ten-pounder or not. It seemed to take them
a long while to catch what they did as they
came in late to suiiper. The rest of us took a
ramble down the creek,'eaping from rock to
rock, visiting caves, gathering wild flowers,
falling in the water and seeing what there was
to be seen. We got back in time for supper,
after which we started for home, where we ar
rived covered with dust, at 11 o'clock, p. M.
All agreed that we had had a pleasant time.

MOUNT UNION COLLEGE.
Its New Era and Improved Fea
tures.
This College is free from debt, and its perma
nent growth and greatly enlarged facilities and
usefulness at Mt. Cnion are assured. The past
year lias been the most successful and aggressive
it has enjoyed m its thirty-seven years of remarka
ble history. Besides property acquisitions, the
fruits of a College are the number and character
of its students. The College is sustained by relia
ble patrons, trustees and patronizing conferences,
has a full and competent Faculty and an enter
prising body of students and Alumni. Number
of different students the past year, 512 ; from lirst,

of four Terms, students can earn by teaching
Winters enough to defray their College expenses
for the Fall, Spring and Summer Terms, without
losing time or class standing. The W inter Term
accommodates those not teaching, enabling them
to gain a term. By means of apparatus and
Specimens all the studies are illustrated and ap
plied. Bayard Taylor, in a public Lecture at this
College in March. 1876. stated that "The Speci
mens in the Museum of Mt. Cnion College are
the most select and valuable I have seen in any
country and my estimate of their cash value is
considerably above a quarter million of dollars."
Its distinctive features are to make a thorough,
liberal, practical education accessible to all ; en
abling students to defray their expenses : equal
privileges to Ladies ; Christian and Patriotic ; not
sectional or partisan ; proper care for Student's
health, morals and comfort; freedom of thought
and opinion ; excellent Literary societies ; good
religious opportunities; competent Professors,

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.
In a SOLID GOLD WATCH, aside from
tlie necessary thickness for engraving and
polishing, a large proportion of metal is
needed only to s>tiflen and bold the engrav
ed portions in place, and supply strength.
The surplus gold is actually needless. In
James JJoss' I'(iterit (Sold Waich Cages this
WASTE is saved, and SOLIDITY and
STRENGTH increased by a simple process,
at one-half the cost. A plate of SOLID
UOLD is soldero! on each side of a plate
of hard nickel composition metal, and the
I Uirac are then passed between polished
[ stuel rollers. From this the cases, backs,
centers, bezels, etc., are cut and shaped by
dies and formers. The gold is thick
enough to admit of all kinds of chasing,
engraving and engine turning. These
cases lv.tve been worn perfectly smooth by
uso without removing the gold. This is
the only ease made under this process. J''ach
case, is accomjKinied with ti vidiiF guarantee
sitjned by the manufacturers warranting it to
wear 20 years. 150,000 of these Cases
now carried in the I T nited States and
Canada. Largest and Oklest Factory.
Established 1854. Ask your Jeweler.
The Boss watch cases with any kind of
movement desired, can be had of

fgr*Wash-day has no terrors for the household where DAY'S SOAP is used, no unpleasant
and sickening odors to. fill your houses, no'laborious rubbing on the wash-board, while the
washing can be done in one-half the time necessary by following the old wora-out method.
MADAM —for it is to the ladies we desire to speak more especially—you are the interested per
son in this matter; you it is that suffers the ills arising from the wash tub and its heavy cares ; you it is
to whom the perplexities and responsibilities of the household rightfully belong, and you it is that should
interest yourself in a trial of the qualities of this soap, that has always proven itself to be a boon of salvation
TO SUFFERIWg HUMANITY.—
We do not come to you with a plausible story calculated to have you try it, simply for the amount
ofmoney such a.sale would bring us; we do not come to you as irresponsible parties, who have no reputa
tion to suffer calumny, but we do present to you this brand of soap upon an absolute guarantee and
recommendation of a well-known industrial establishment of Philadelphia, of sixteen years existence.
Do you suppose for a moment it would compensate us to make false statements to you and ruin our
well-earned reputation ? No, dear reader; what wu say about DAY'S SOAP is the truth, and it is sus
tained by the evidences of thousands of housewives from all over the country, besides which we stand
ready to endorse it all with ready cash. I'S SOAJE* is the Original and Only Patented.-««

Ko soda, no washing crystals, no lyes are to be used, but simply supply yourself for the
next wash-day with a bar of DAY'S SOAP, then carofully read the directions and follow them to
the exact letter, and if you don't say pitch out that old wash-boiler, for I am a wiser woman, you
will be the first person we have yet heard of that has been disappointed.
jjpKfnw remember —If you don't intend to follow the directions do not try the soap At all, for
unless you do this you will be disappointed, and then you will scold us and yourself as well.
The cost of one cake will convince you that it is the bust and cheapest soap ever offered you,
while the smiles that will encircle your brow will do justice to a golden sunset
Have you confidence in this newspaper ? If so, do you suppose the owner would allow us
to swindle his readers by offering them tempting inducements? lie uses it in his own home, and can
certify to its merits. Now you get a cake from your grocer in time for the next wash-day, and become
acquainted with its intrinsic worth. # .
Ask your grocer for it, and do not allow him to put you off with anything else for a substitute, tor
every dealer can obtain it, and should he refuse you, send direct to
