The Last of the Season.
The last of the series of excursions to At
lantic City, Cape May or Sea Isle City, via
the Pennsylvania Railroad, will be run on
Thursday, August foth. '1 he immense pop
ularity which these delighilul holiday trips
have won is indisputable evidence not only
of the merit of the ext Jrsiona, but of the uni
versal attractiveness of these gieat resorts.
The last one of the season comes at a time
when the seashore has reached the zenith of
its summer glory. Everybody will ba there
and everything that the seashore has to oiler
in the way of enjoyment will bs in the pink
of condition to afford the greatest amount of
pleasure. Neither of the resort# mentioned
were ever so well equipped for accommodat
ing the hosts of visitors as they are at pres
ent, and no time in their histoiy were they
ever so attractive. This excursion will un
doubt Jly be the largest ;*> well as the most
desirable one of the'series, and no one should
miss the opportunity it affords. Those who
have gone alrtady may go again with the
greatest satisfaction, while those who have
not gone should remember that it is the
last.
The tickets wiil be good for ten days, and

of The Allen Washer, and which is now be

Messrs. Shira & Hays. It is a rectangular
tub, cn lejs, with a close fitting lid. Into
this' the clothes and hot water are placed,
the washer —which cousists of ?u iron han
dle and centre, with wire arms—is inserted
and worked baek and forth, aud the work
is said by those who have seen it, to be done
perfectly. No steam escapes during the
washing, no slop is male aud a child
can woik the handle.' lu connection with
the machine, or separately, the tirin will sell
the New Champion Wringer—a wringer
made entirely ot iron and rubber—which
dies its work perfectly and is warranted to
last a lifetime. The enterprise of the Messrs.

—The great fire in Pittsburg, last Friday
night, originated in the basement of a furni
ture store, and wan first seen twnotig some
bales of excelcer —fine wood shaviugs, used
for stuffing furniture. This made so dense
a smoke that the firemen pould not gut at it,
and that building—known as Masonic Hall,
the lower stories of which were OUCH pied by
furniture and dry goods stures —wa < burned.
The flames then went through the windows
of the new eight-story Hamilton building,
and destroyed the greater part of it, and also
the upper stories of the Schmidt <V Friday
building, another eight-story one. Botn
these buildings were supposed to lie fire
proof, but no building with wood floors,

—The Fair advertisement did not reach us
last week, until within a few moment of Jour
going to press. As usual, the Fair here, will
be held during the middle week of Septem
ber, a wj3 k that has heretofore been a
very lucky oue for the Association. The
premium list has been reyised,
printed in book form, and it is now being
mailed to citizens of the county. Lutrv
blanks will be found in the hack of the boot
for all the classes. The management prom
ise an unusually good exhibit of horses, cat
tle and sheep, and as this has been a fair
year for grains, fruits and vegetables, all the
the exhibits should be good. A first olass
agricultural Fair is a good school for the en
iterprit-iug farmer, and all farmers should
take an interest in it. The liberal premiums
offered will be paid on the grounds during
the last day of tbe Fair.

—As many accidental fires take place from
the ignition of parlor matches, people should
be careful not to drop them on the floor, or
better still to use matches that ore not liable
to ignite when not wanted. There are
plenty other sorts of matches and the parlor
match is the most dangerous of all.
—The length of an engiue and tender
used on a main line is about forty feet, and
they weigh about (JO tons, the average length
of a baggage car is fifty feet und it weighs
about six tor«, the average length of a pas
senger car is 60 feet and it weighs about ten
tons, the average length of a sleeping car is
75 feet and it weighs from fifteen to twenty
tons, hence the length of the excursion train
that met with the terrible disaster near
Chats worth, Illinois, was about 1.060 feet., or,
as long as irotn a corner of the Diamond, to
Mifflin street, and its weight of itself, C 3
about 300 tons. There were 1,000 people on
the train, and averaging their vyeight at IVJ
pounds each, woijld add 7.1 more ton-j, to the
immense mass that was rushing along at a
mile a minute, or over eighty feet a second.
Consider these facts, and also the fact, that
this tremendous, flying mass, could be
wrecked without a moments warning, by any
obstruction or gap in the track, aud the
daugers of such large trains are apparent.

Party met jo Butler las(, Saturday afternoon

Kerr, Cherry township.
Coroner—JJ. R. Strain,
Tbe delegates were required to sign a reso
lution denouncing the Democratic and Re
publican parlies arid pledging support to tbe
nominees of the new party.
The plalforrn calls for an eight-hour law,
compulsory education, criminal laws against
speculating in the necessaries of life, taxa
tion of mortgages on real estate, female suf
frage, election day holidays, laws controlling
corporations, abolition of contract system on
county work, batter roads, and non-favoritism
in granting license ; ami some declarations
denounce the lirjuor traffic, sympathize with
the Prohibition party, but regard it a-i a
party of but one idea, regard the treatment
of soldiers and saiiors of the late \yar, as un
generous, and criticise the mutilation of the
Regan Interstate Commerce bill.

A new iusect enemy to the farmers
