Mr. Meyers, of Sharpsburg. agent for the Gamewell System of fire alarms, put in an appearance, accompanied by Messrs G. W. Miller, Al. Reiber and H. C. Heineman of the Hose Companies. Mr. Meyers explained the system, which is a good one. and which contemplates the use of the Court House bell, for striking the numbers. The idea is this—A double circuit of wires is run over the town, connected with a battery, and a striding arrangement for the bell, and in each ward, at the point selected a fire box is placed. Several citizens in the vicinity of each box are furnished with keys, and should a fire occur in that locality the first one to know of it opens the box and pulls the slide. The nearest Hose Co. will then turn out, and should it not be able to subdue the flames, the slide is again pulled for the next nearest Co., or a general alarm sonnded, which will bring out all the companies. Tho system tells the hose companies in which part of the town the fire is, and informs them of the force needed, and the firemen present strongly urged its adoptiou. A fire box plant complete would cost the town SISOO. A committee consisting of Messers. Black, Perrine and Scheuck wa.s appointed to consider tho matter and rc pjrt to Council at next meeting. The Finance Committee reported the town to be about $12,000 behind on war rants lor tag ends of paving, sewering, and other general improvements, a detailed statement of the same was read, and on motion the Council decided to issue , eleven SI,OOO bonds, to run from one to eleven years, one bond to fall due each year, and its payment with interest to be secured by an extra tax of one mill. $6500 has been paid in on the Spring dale sewer, and orders to the contractors were made as follows, Ott Bros., S4OOO, Hu'hees, SISOO, and McPolaad <fc Co., SIOOO. The resolution as to employing no po lice until March Ist was reconsidered, and matter held over till next meeting. Tho principal complaints of late have been as to fast driving and coasting on our streets. Several accidents have been caused by both, and the Burgess was requested to enforce the Ordinance against it. Short sewers will be built to accommo date Phil. Crouse, Mr. Parkiu and others; some orders were drawj for assignments of Long <fc Doyle, for freight bills, etc.; no prosecutions have yet been entered for violations of the sewer ordinance; the tool house committee want to use the cast end of Wayne St., the Hose Co's want more hose; a special committee was appointed to meet with the property owners injured by the Sullivan run dam; some sidewalks on Centre Ave. are to be advertised: etc., and tho Council adjourned till next regular meeting night.

La Grippe. Xo healthy person need fear any dan gerous consequences from an attack of la grippe if properly treated. It is much tho same as a severe cold aud requires precise ly tho same treatment. Kemain quietly at home and take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as directed for a severe cold and a prompt and complete recovery is sure to follow. This remedy also counteracts any tendency of la grippe to result in pueu monia. Among the many thousand who have used it during the epidemics of the past, two years wo have yet to learn of u single case that has not recovered or that has resulted in pneumonia. 25 and .">0 cent bottles for sale by D.

Spang, a machinist of this place, while in foundries and machine shops has heard tha cry "give us more blast" in forge fires and cupalos, and like all inventors worked on something to right the wrong and get more pressure of air be hind the tire. After months of stndy and experimenting he completed a pressure blower for which he was granted Letters Patent on the 12th of the present month. The Blower will not only be used in lorges and cupalos but in many other places,such as blast furnaces, steam heating appara tus, shaving exhausters for planning mills, flonr mills, etc. The merits of Mr. Spang's machine are that it does not run half as fast as other blowers now in use and there fore not requiring more than half the pow er, and not tearing belts so fast and at the same time has a greater pressure. Mr. Spang first worked on this inven tion while he lived in Cleveland and the great expense in experimenting brought him back to his old home in this place, where he could experimental less expense. He has had the Blower patented in this country, and expects to extend the patent to foreign countries. A Golden Nugget. A strange novelty is this golden table corn, with its beautiful cream color. It i» claimed by those who know it that it is very sweet, early and tender, and a superior corn. We notice Yick recommends it very highly. The Floral Guide, which comes to us bringing a boquet of Carnations on the front cover, with a splendid bnnch of Brilliant Poppies on the back, gives full description of this new corn, which is only 15 ceuts a packet. Vick's Floral Guide is worthy a place in the homo of anyone who expects to make a garden the coming spring. By all means send ten cents to James Vick's Sons, Rochester, if Y., for tho guide, and you can deduct this amount from your first order. It will pay you well. Sci. Fa. sur Mechanic's Lien. A. 1).
