Oue of the greatest considerations for far mers is the saving of horse flesh, and how to do it is an important problem.

The question of how to avoid it is solved by the New Direct Draft Eureka Mower, represented at the fair by that affable general ygeut, Mr. 1,. Van Horn, of East Troy, Pa. Another advantage is toe rapidity and evenness in cutting, and of course the greatest rapidity in curing. No tedder is required for hay cut by the Eureka. That it will find favor with a large number of far mers is assured. TOWANDA, PA., MONDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1881. Still Waiting. Sept. 19, 1881 Alas! when waiting brings us no relief ! When Hope, slow, mergeth into dull despair, AY hen patient skill, Love's vigilance, fast prayer; Prove vain, and we, dumb, impotent for grief, Must yield to Death, the life of martyred chief. Awhile it seemed like tempting Fate, to dare Its solemn augruy in " arid air" 'l'o note! Vet should we disavow belief? Fate's fiats, man nor nation may forestall! Fate's instruments, shall we not also leave To Hiin who calleth vengeance His? For they Who wait " God's leisure" have no call To speed revenge. Our call is now to grieve, And wait Ilis time who saith, " I will repay." Sept. 'JO, 1881. ANNIE 11. MBRCCI The receipts at the fair aggregated sJOGo Pretty good. Special meeting of Linta Ilose Co. at 7:.10 to-morrow evening. Every member is re quested to be present. How IT PAYS TO TAKE A NEWSPAPER.— Some papers are not of much account as to appearance, but I never took one th it did not pay me, in some way. more than I paid for it. Oue time an old friend started a little paper away down in Southwestern Georgia and sent it to me, and 1 subscribed just to encour age him, and after a while it published a no tice that an administrator had an order to sell several lots at a public outcry, and one of the lots was in my county. So I enquired about the lot, and wrote to my friend to attend the sale and run it up to fifty dollars. He did so, and bid me off the lot for thirty dollars; and 1 sold it, ina month, to a man it joined for a hundred, and so I made sixty-eight dollars clear by taking that paper. My father told me that when he was a young man he saw a a notice in a paper that a school teacher was wanted away off in a distant count", and he went there and got the situation, and a little girl was sent to him, and after a while she grew lip mighty sweet and pretty, and lie fell in love with her and married her—now. if he hadn't taken that paper, what do you reckon would have become of me? Wouldn't I have been some other fellow, or may be not at all.
