Newspapers are often criticised for what they print, but if it were known how much credit they merit for what they don't print, or for the nonsense they whack out of what they do print, they would command a much more generous judgement. You can never know till j'ou try, how quickly a dose of Ayer's Pills will cure your sick head-ache.

We were last week made the hap py recipient of n basket of magnifi cent strawberries the gift of Mrs. J. II. llhoads. The berries were grown by her father, G. II. Hano of Shamokin Dam.

Miss Maude Patterson, one of the Johnstown fiood sufferers related the story of the flood to a crowded house in the Union Church on Sun day evening. Her story was simple, plain, and full of pathos. A collec tion was taken up for the benefit of herself and father's family and about ten dollars fell in tlto hat. It is reported that at Millheim, Centre county, when the flood waB at its highest, a nianoaine out of his house almost scared to death and exclaimed : "Dart ises ferdomptsi I Ich hobs eich g'sawked. Alsfart bada far lots fun gute frish wasser. Ich hob ubht ga glawbt dos es nuch so gate in it eir brohibition uorr heita 1" Saved. A fine family of children were all afflicted with scrofula.

S. V. Mills of Richfield, the inven ter of Mills' Farmyard Ammoniator, exhibited his patent before a small but appreciative audience in Seebold Hull on Saturday evening 15th. We regret not having been able to at tend tho lecture personally but have heard very favorable comment on tho subject and are' led to believe that the invention left a very favor able impression ou the minds of his hearers. He claims for his inven tion tho power to convert barn-yard waste into a drill dIiohdIi a powerful fertilizer, and that the consumption of tho matter used in its manufacture will keep the stable clean and pure and insure l.lil.nWh of tho stock. If this be bo, the in- vention is something that no prac tical farmer can afford to be with. out, and it is at least worth inquir ing into. OFFICIAL VOTE.

This week Home of our fanners will commence to make hay, the crop promises to bo good. Tho wheat crop will bo heavy, considering the open winter we had. Tho corn, ow ing to the wet weather has not been properly cultivated, and a good crop cannot bo expected. Strawberries are plenty, and raspberries will be over abundant. Of sweet cherries there w ill bo some, but sour cher ries are almost a total failure. Ap ples are suffering considerable from the June drop, which threatens to make the crop light.

There are crossing at every corner. Our sadler and reaper agent, Hen ry M. Dork, sleeps on one side of the street and drinks his coffee on the other. Ho is a very clever fel low, and sells a good many reapers, binders and all kind of farm impli incuts. If you need anything iu his line call ou him and be satisfied ! A number of our young ladies were attending Commencement at New Rerliu last week, one of them left her satchel, expect ing one of the young gents to bring it.

Mr. HeiTold and Mr. Wetzel went down Pennscreek to 11 place thej call Dogtown, where several flour chests had floated and taken pos session of by several men there who refused too give up the chests unless Mr. Heirold would pay fifty cents a piece. Mr. Heirold thinking the ransom to high left them in their possession for the time being. They then came to Mr. John .Turret where they found one of their chests. Mr. Janet lent them a helping hand to get their property and would not take anything for his trouble. Mr. Jan et is a gentleman. Old Mr. Henry Urouse is still very seriously sick.
