We suspect Harry Duffy had

AN OH) MRLE.
George W. Dishong of Ayr
township handed us last Satur
day, an old bible that accidentally
fell into his possession a few
years ago. It was printed in
Philadelphia 98 years ago, and
was at one time the property of
Joseph Hynson Calder and Wm.
A. Calder. Who the Caldcrs are
wo do not know; but the family
record, which has no doubt been
lost to the family, is in a good
state of preservation. We pub
lish a few of the entries :
Jos. II. Calder was born May
18, 177(5.
Eliza Calder was born January
4, 1779.
WTilliam Alexander Calder, son
of Jos. and Eliza Calder was born
December 13, 1803.
James Calder died of a wound
in his shoulder in tho engage
ment between the Iris and the
Trumbull, Captain Nicholson,
September fi, 1781.
Alexander Calder and Mary
Hynson were married August 11,
17C2.
Just in this connection, we are
led to call attention to the matter
of family records. It is only
wheu we attempt to trace back
our ancestry that we find of what
valuo family records would be,
and how hard it is to get informa
tion from them.
In addition to recording the
name of the child born, the place
of birth, and tho name of the pa
rents should be entered as welL
The entry of a death should al
ways state place, as well as time
of death. It would not require
much time to note the cause of
death, and any other items that
might, in time, become of much
iuterest.
It is the duty of heads of fam
ilies to preserve in some substan
tial form the family history; and
this should be handed down along
the line of posterity. How many
families there are whose ances
try is a blank. We owe it to the
future historian and genealogist
that we keep correctly a record
of tin present and pass it along.

Li Hung Chang, the illustrious
Chinese statseman, is dead. He
was a crafty man and had to be
watched sharply by his own gov

was so far above all others of the
celestial empire in affairs of state
that his loss at this critical junc
ture in the history of that govern

one.
Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Duffy of

Modern Surgery Surpassed.
"While suffering from a bad
case of piles I consulted a physi
cian who advised me to try a box
of DeWitt's Writch Hazel Salve,"
says G. F. Carter, Atlanta, Ga.
"I procured a box and was entire
ly cured. DeWitt's Witch Hazel
Salve is a splendid cure for piles,
giving relief instantly, and 1
heartly recommend it to all suf
ferers. " Surgery is unnecessary
to cure piles. DeWitt's Witch
Hazel Salve will cure any case.
Cuts, burns, bruises and all oth
er wounds are also quickly cured
by it. Beware of counterfeits.
