wads of paper. The "Professor" is of a sandy complexion,v:ears chin whiskers, is about 5 ft. 6 inches in

height, and is a voluble talker.

During the day he usually amuses himself by trailing at private houses and soliciting the ladies to buy address cards, which he writes for a trifling consideration. In addition to a bill for printing, at this office, he got sixty or eighty dollars, for which he gave no "valuable consideration." The newspaper fraternity will preserve themselves and their pitrons from loss, by giving the "Professor" the benefit of this notice. Killed on a Freight Train. Harvey E'odd, a brakeman on the L. N.

Each burner generates its own gas at a cost of about one-third of a cent per hour, and burns a beautiful white flame without wick or chimney, avoiding the intolerable, nuisance of trimming lamps, saving the cost of chimneys, and furnishes a light equal to three coal oil lamps at one third the cost. The Lamps are made entirely of metal, consequently can not break, and comprise all styles and prices, from the

plain Wall Lamp, for work-shop or kitchen, to the elegant Portable Stand or Chan

delier for the parlor, public hall or church

Johk P. Smith, the popular Jeweler and Repairer of Watches, finding that the

room ne Had ween occupying tor several

years -past, was too small to meet the re-

.qtiirements or ais rapidly increasing busiBt, leased the room on the west side of tie square, adjoining the auction store, and Anting it np in a manner bo.h elegant and mat, removed to his present location early tLis Spring.

He also sec ired the 'lite, and matt approved machinery and tools, for the successful prosecution of the business of Watch Bepairing, and now bids defiance to competition.
