—"Here," said a dear friend the other
day, "are some resolution* of rc.-peet
which I would like you to publish, of
course they are of no interest to tbe gen
eral public, but the parties who wrote
them will be glad to see tlieni iu print. and
they will help to fill up your paper." Thai
was certainly very kind and thoughtful in
our friend, but we .-aid: "Neighbor, did it
never dawn upon thee that when a new -
paper fell into the habit of publishing si till'
of no public interest, people soon ceased to
read it with avidity, aud did not fall over
each other ni their mad haste to get to the
office to subscriber And further, oh
beneticeut man. has it not occurred unto
thee that a newspaper is not wholly phi
lanthropic iu its aims? Kuowest thou not
that it must have the wherewithal to live up
on, and that, like most other enterprises,
its designs are somewhat mercenary' The
space in a newspaper is for sale, even as
town lots arc for sale, the price varying
according to location." And he marveled
much. —Punx'y Spirit.

Ringed Pigs.
Cp iu Forestville some people have been
ringing their pigs and allowing them to
run at large, a tact that lias created some
disscusiou iu the neighborhood, anil cans
ed one of our subscriber , to write us about
it.
An act, passed and signed in the year
170.1, forbid hogs ami pigs from running at
large in certain parts of the Stale, unless
they had rings in their noses and tri-augu
lar or three-cornered yokes or bows on
their necks, and provided for the taking
up anil confiscating of pigs not wearing
the required ornaments and found on other
people's premises. This act. was iu 1720
extended to the whole state, and it is a
t range fact that t<. day it is yet the law of
the state, excepting for a few counties for
which it was specially repealed. The in
ference of the law is that pigs with l ings
in their noses and yokes on their necks
can go where they please, and all you
have a light to do is to drive I hem oil", but
if you act under this law and, lifter proper
ly ornamenting your porkers, turn thrui
loose, Homebody will probably be alter you
before nightfall for damages under the
trespass law
The swine law is one of those ancient
absurdities yet allowed to remain iu the
co le of the state, and is generally disre
garded.
A Remarkable Case.
Homo two months ago a hard swelling,
originating iu the bone, began growing
upon the upper part of the right leg of
Miss Katie Milsser, daughter ol Jacob
Mu er of Mnddycreek twp II grew so
rapid ly and became so painful that 10-r
parent 1 took her to the West I'enii ho .pi
ta l in Pittsburg. The case was carefully
examined by Di McClintock and Mei'anii
there, and it being found that the bone
was decayed, and that the disease was ra
pidly spreading, they concluded to ampii
tate the leg al the hip joint This was
done lust Wednesday, the operation was
successful and the patient is doing well.
Katie was a strong, hearty girl of IN
years, and it is hoped that her good con
stitution will ee her through this terrible
ordeal.

The Great Fair.
Everything that the management i an*
1 think of, both lor the i ?omftdaii..u of the
public and the exhibitors is being done.
Anticipating dry weather, they have ar
ranged lor sprinkling the streets and road
from the central part of the town to the !
i
gates ol the grounds.
The short train will leave the p. ,i W.
depot for the F.iir Ground station every >
half hour during the day. Tie- fare will |
be bnt five or ten cents and every In sly
-lioiild buy ticket-, as the conductors will
probably have no time to make change.
From the entries we judge that the dis
play of live stock wdl be immense—there
will be a particularly fine exhibit of sheep.
Favored with fair weather and Butler
will be one of the most crowded town in
the universe, next week.
Explanation.
We have been telling you all summer
how we began the buggy business nine
years ago, and now probably you would
like to know how wc are succeeding. We
will tell you. First we like to tell it be
cnu-e it did so much for our fellow citi
zens. and second, because it ha- placed us
in the very foremost rank among the large
dealers iu this great State of our-. We
believe we have the largest who!, -ale
trade, and are confident we have the lar
gest retail trade also. To give you an
idea, our Mr. Lieghuer has ju t returned
from N. V. State, where he contracted to
have twenty live thousand dollars worth
of one kind of curt- made: this we believe
is the largest deal of the kind ever made
ill the State. Just think of it, SJ."i.OOO
worth of one kind of road carts, and then
think of the many other kinds we are hand
ling. You would naturally ask. "Where
do they all go?" We could not tell you
here, the freight agents at the different do
pot - could give you some idea, bat *thc]
go. One thing you may be certain of. that
it's not buying tletir and -elliug hujk that
makes them go. Then think of the num
ber of Buggies, Wagons, Harness, »t-c .
that we sell, it would scare you to tell you
the amount we have sold since last Janu
ary. You ask again, how does it conn-.
Can't others buy for cash too and .-ell just
as cheap as you dot We answer: We use
our own capital; we pay no rent; we have
not bought a bill in 9 years, that we did
not di .count. You see we make this a
business exclusively and are large dealers,
the advantage you will understand in an
instant when wc tell you. According to
agreement among large carriage manufac
turers the price is uniform on same grades
of work, but purchasers of 50 jobs or more,
get a discount of '.i per cent; purchasers of
lon jobs or more, gel a discount of .*» per
cent; and purchasers of ">tlO jobs or more,
get a discount of 10 per cent., which is the
largest discount allowed any dealer, anil :i
--wc buy more than 'IOO you see we can sell
you work at the same price small dcalrs
pay, and still have a profit of 10 per cent.
Now fellow citizens we are perfectly will
ing to give you the benefit of our advan
tage in the market for it is your patronage 1
that helps us,aud it is only right that while
you stand with us we should not betray
yonr confidence, and we won't. Remem
ber we are here all tho time, our word is as
good as gold. You know just what you
are getting every time, we tell you plainly.
We have all kinds, the cheapest and the
very best, so can ju-t suit you; we don't
try to get rich oil one customer. Wc never
misrepresent. Call and see us whether
you want to buy or not.

GENTLEMEN: After thoroughly

on several large washings of hotel

say that it fur excels all other w i-di

last washing relerred to was done on
the Ist inst., und consisted of fill
sheets, 21 table-cloths, ;J dozen tow
els, 3 dozen pillow cases, C> dozen
napkins, 1 bed spreads, line sheets
and a general family washing. This
washing was not commenced until ft
A. M. and was all done, complete, dri
ed and taken off tho line by 5 o'clock
P. M. and would have tnken two
days hard work by tiie old method.
This washer intelligently used thor
oughly cleanses clothes from the fin
est fabric to the heaviest blankets
and other bed clothes and all with
out rubbing, and consequently with
out any perceptible wear on the
clothes. Our washing was never so
well done; blankets and everything
cleer and bright I consider the AI
len washer a grand success, aud
should have a place in every house
where there is washing to lie done

you come aud fVel of the goo.'s and as'n the price. Then it came to pass that you smiled a
big smil - mil to deet various articles until there was before you a great stock of
goods. Then in my dream I said, Friend, why do you get so many goods" and lo you an
swered ami said, B- aiif I know they are great bargains, whereupou 1 waked iroin luy
