—The grasshopper has put in an appear
ance in Western Pennsylvania, after an
absence of many years, and is doing busi
ness in a manner that threatens to serious
ly damage the farmers. Thus far the hop
pers have confined their depredations to
the oats and grass crops. They do not eat
the grain entirely, but cut the stalk and
leave it to perish. A German township
farmer says they cut off 25 bushels of oats
from a small field. It is thought that the
late sadden and severe rain storms have
merely delayed the attack upon the grain,
and that it will suffer later on. A Tyrone
township farmer says one-third of his oats
crop has been cut off by tho pests, and that
a great deal of his grass has been destroy
ed by them.—Connellsville Courier.

"There is ample room for improvement in
the city ordinance to restrict the encroach

tory which rightly belongs to home deal
ers. Tho merchants who assist iu defray
ing the expenses of tho municipality de
servo more protection. Furthermore the

peddler* who go from plaee to place."

—Tho Petrolia camp-meeting seem* to
have done some good. The Millerstown
Herald says that Mrs. R J. Anderson, of
that place, who has been a sufferer from a
complication of diseases for many yours,
was a regular attendant and was always
ready and willing to offer a fervent prayer
for some worthy cause. Her prayers were
not in vain for she is now as well as ever
she was, and no cause other than the bless
ing of Divine Providence can bo given for
tho great transformation. For many years
tho lady was obliged to refrain from per
forming her household duties, and when
on the street it was nece«*ary for her to,
at all times, wear heavy winter garments.

saw Mrs. Murphy coming and got out of
her way, i-aying to the Sheriff's folks that
she didn't want Mrs Murphy to see her.
and talking a.- though she knew all about
her. Mrs. Murphy had a short talk with
her husband, and then Col. Thompson,
who is Mrs. Brell's attorney, came over
and Mrs. Murphy was induced to go to the

and got the man out; and Murphy told hi*
wife he wonld be over hoine shortly, and

1 and bei-iJe these Mr. Osborne was allowed
j #2,000 on his contract and Long & Doyle,
| -fI,OOO on theirs.
Messrs. Long and Doyle objected to the
| Water Co. putting down new pipes on W.
; Jefferson St. after they had taken po-ses-
J ion of the street, and the matter was
brought before Council, aud upon the Wa
t-r Co. agreeing to complete their work,
and tamp properly, within five days the
paving contractors withdrew their objec
tions.
Several of the butchers of the town ap
■ peared. aud complained of the notice they
had received from the Hnrgess a.* to taking
out licenses for peddling meat, and the
matter was discussed and referred to the
Solicitor to see who were paying a state
license and who were not, and those who
are not paying a state license will be re
quired to pay a borough license, under tbe
ordinance.
Burgess Kennedy reported net receipts
of $235 for June, and SI»9 for July.
Mr. Biedenbangh complained of the

and the matter was referred to the Street
Committee, who will also look after Wal
ker Ave. on the S. S.
Mr. Campbell complained of some sewer
connections on the property of John Ilns
elton and moved that they be closed. An
other member of Council moved that he
be iudicted under the ordinance and that
carried, and the Solicitor was so notified.
An improper sewer connection on W.
l'earl St. will also be looked after.
Another sidewalk fuss on S. Main St.
*a? referred to the Sidewalk Com.; the
Street Commissioner is to finish up his
work this week: the tire plugs and flush
tanks are to be counted: the police have
reported no nuisances; a leaky water line
on N Main St. will be repaired: Long <t
Doyle have ordered a million and half of
brick and will hurry up matters —and the
Council adjourned till next Tuesday.

Baiting a Fakir.
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
