On Tuesday of this week a Kentueky songbird, of magnificent physical, mental, and vocal development, secured a lu-or.-e ! from Burgess Kennedy, under the ordi nance to peddle on onr street.-; and WHIII after appeared on the street fronting the i Court House in a covered wagon, and In - ' gan singing such interesting songs in «.> melodioas a voice that a crowd of persons, whose numbers were estimated at from onq to thre°-hnndred assembled assembled around him.and his wagon. His object in so doing was to make money by the >ale of "Indian Tea," which is a sure cure for all the ills ol life, except ing consumption, heart disease and rheu matism. He mixed the medicine in the presence of his audience, so that there could be doubt of it* genuineness. It found a ready sale, and the half-dollars rolled quite merrily. Hut, alas, there is a thorn lor every rose. A citizen of the town who saw the crowd and heard some of the charming songs,saw fit to go before Esq. McAboy,and made in formation against the songster lor "main taining a public nuisance"—said nuisance consisting of obstructing the public high way by gathering a crowd about him in it. The songster was arrested and held on SIOO bail for a hearing, which took place Thursday morning. The docket entry reads—Com. of l'enn'a vsj. 11. Swayne, maintaining a public nuisance, on oath of Tlios. Robinson. The witnesses for the prosecution were Thos. Robinson, E. I. Brngb, A. Williams and John Coulter. The Dist. Attorney thought the defdt could be held under the common law, and the Att'y for the defense thought that a mountain was being made of a molehill, and said that if he was held somebody would have answer in the Dis trict Court for malicious prosecution. The Justice said he would decide the matter at 1 o'clock, and the crowd dis persed; aud at 1 o'clock he discharged the defendant, aud the county will pay the costs. HOME COMFORT STEEL RANGES. Among the muny new advertise ments iu this week's issue of The Ohio Farmer, will be found oue with illustration of the "Home Comfort steel range" manufactured only by the Wrought Iron Range Company of St Louis, Mo. This company, established in 1864 is the largest range manufactory in the world and has a paid up capital of $500,000,00; its stability and standing in tbe commercial world is beyond question. Some idea may be had as to the amount of business done by it, by considering the following figures for a moment- In making Home Com forts there are used annually 225,000 pounds of copper, 3,000,000 pounds of the finest quality of open beartb steel, 4,600,000 pounds of the best malleable iron that can be made, 1,3*25,000 pounds of grates, red plates and fire linings, $36,000.00 worth of asbestos mill board, $5,000 00 worth of rivets and $3,000 00 of bolts. In their making and sale there are employed nearly 1,500 men, mostly men of families receiving prompt and liberal compensation for their services, many of them for years trusted and faithful employees and enjoyiug tbe confidence of the com pany to the fullest extent The pay roll reaches the enormous sum of nearly $1,000,000,000 per anuum. The factory and offices cover an entire block, giving a floor space of 14,000 square feet, making it the largest establishment of its kind in the world. So great is the demand for Home Comforts that this immense factory is taxed to its fullest capacity to fill its orders. It is not always what the manufacturer says of his goods that sells tbem, but what others say as to their merits. This accounts for Home Comforts finding their way to European, African, Australian, South American markets and in fact all over the earth. The family size ranges are sold only from wagous owned by tbe company, and should any of the salesmen be in your county do not let them pass without examin ing and seeing the many points of superiority of the ranges both in workmanship and material used in their construction. Every range is fully guaranteed.— The Ohio Farm er. Havir^ Secured the ser vices oi Mr. VV.M.
