The Farm and Household. —Are you ready for the cTounty Fair? 3 | <‘ —The prospect for the best Fairever held in Noble county is very flattering. . In addition to all kinds of agricultural. and horticultural products, there will be the largest number of fast horses ever assembled on our Fair grounds. : L - —The time for thre holding of our county Fair draweth nigh, and with its approach we notice there is an increasing interest and energy on the part of our citizens to get their articles ready for exhibition. We hope the same degree of interest is being manifested throughout the county. That is all that is required to make the Fair a greater success than ever before.

—lln the midst of business cares and political matters the people of our county should not forget our County Fair which is to commence on the 22d of September, and continue four days. Let us endeavor to maké it an exhibition worthy of our great :dund productive .county. The sueccess of our Fair for the past three years has been unparalleled, ahd we feel satisfied the exhibition this year will not fall short of those of previous years.

—lf you have not already prepared something for the County Fair, or determined to do so, you should lose no time in coming to that cnn_clnéion.—— The Fair is for the benefit of all, and not for a few, and it is by the hearty co-operation of all that it can be made mutually advantageous. The moreinterest manifested in making the Fair a success, the more fikely is each farmer to try'to excel his neighbor in the raising of farm products and the imnprovement of stock. v

BeD-BuGs.—Says a correspondent: “After - fighting them eight years, I learned from a girl who had served as chambermaid in a large boarding house that bugs could be entirely exterminated for all time. T immediately sfollowed her directions, which were to take grease that had been melted out of salt pork; tomelt it and keep it melted (the vessel can be kept in a pan of coals), and put it with the feather end of a quill into every place where I could find a bug. It is necessary to see that the bed-cords are entirely free-from the pests, and I will warrant there will be nomore trouble. It is more than thirty years since a bug has been seen in my house.” Population of the United States. “Our Future Population” is the subof an interesting paper which has been read by Professor Elliott, of “Washington, before the American Association, .in session at lartford. By an elaborate system of calculation, based upon the censuses that have already been taken, the writer finds that, on June Ist, 1874, the population of the United states was 43,157,000, an increase of over four and one-half millions since the last census was taken. The estimate for 1875, when a census may probably be takeh, is 44, 384,000; for 1876, the Centennial year, 45,267,000, and for 1880, when the next decennial census will be taken, 50858, 000. These calculations show quite plainly the waste of population caused by the rebellion. Had there been no war, and had we, therefore, gone on growing at the rate previously shown, the census of 1870 would have given a population of 41,718,000, or over three millions more than the total actually given—38,558,371. The larger figute was not reached until 1873, showing that the war caused a loss equivalent to three years’ growth.

Take Time to Rest.

An exchange says most men and women must keep in the traces, and keep pulling, the year round. All the more, therefore, is it their duty to take things easier as the hot weather comes on. Take longer rest at noon. Put on less steam when you are at work. Snatch a Sunday now and then from the middle of the week: You can't? You can. People find time to be sick and to die. They can just as easily find time to rest and keep well. Everything does not depend on finishing that dress or.fencing that field; on “putting up” so much fruit or catching so many customers. Better that the children should wear old clothes than that their mother should belaid aside by a fever. Better that the corn crop be a little lighter than that there be no one to harvest it. Let us have shorter sermons and fewer of them on Sunday; longer recesses for the children at school on week days. Put up the store shutters earlier at night; prepare plainer meals in the kitchen. Take a noon-day nap yourself, and give your employes a chance to go a-fishing of an afternoon now and then. That only is duty which the Lord lays upon us, and He is not so hard a master as we sometimes suppose. i ———— ! - State and County Fairs. At the annual fairs are exhibited the results of the labor and experience of the year, by the farmer and the artisan. Here are found palpable facts and results, evolved of the theories, methods. and fancies most in vogue, and out of these facts the olservant and thoughtful gather practical truths to incorporate into plans and methods for the future. It is a duty that all owe to themselves; no less than to the good of society, to attend the State and county fairs, there to avail themselves of the good, solid information which experience imparts. If men-are industrigus and yet do not succeed, the cause may invariably be traced to a lack of information ‘about their affairs. The Fair is the great book of accumulated experience of our most successful men. A]l the theories and methods have been tested by them, and here they exhibit the result. It may be said with truth that the time consumed and money invested in visiting Fairs pay a larger ver cent. in the end than any other expenditure of the year. We carefully gather and garner the fruits of our hands, and pojnt to them with pride as the results of well-directed, intelligent effort. TLet us not neglect the opportunities offered to .gather and store away the information which must precede all successful physical effort. Not only attend the Fairs, but gather the fruits of your hest labor and efforts' at success.—lndiana Farmer.

Good Night, | } How tenderly and sweetly falls the - gentle “good night” into loving hearts, ‘ © as members of a family separate and | retire for the night. ,What myriads of hasty words and thoughtless acts, en~gendered in the hurry and business of the day, are forever blotted out by its | benign influence. Sma)) token indeed ; | " butfit is the little courtesies that make up the sum of a happy home, It is only the little courtesies that can 80 beautifully round off the square corners in the homes of laboring men and women. The simple “I thank you” for a favor received, will ill with hap- * piness the heart of the giver. True :

wealth is not counted by dollars and cents, but by the gratitude and affection of the heart. Ifahome behappy, it is of heaven the truest earthly symbol. If’a home be happy, whether the owner possesseés a patch of ground of one or a-thousand acres, they are in the end wealthy beyond mathematical calculations. - S o Then how much more lovingly are the sable folds of night gathered around the happy homes; how much more confidingly do its members. repose their weary bodies in the caie of Divine goodness, soothing their overtaxed minds to the realities of a beautiful dreamland; awakened, refreshed and invigorated for the ecoming day’s labor, by having- bid their loved ones an affectionate “good night.” And if during this life we have faithfully attended to all these little soul-needs, if we have guarded carefully all “God’s | hearts” placed in our keeping, at the close of its brief, yet eventful day, ‘how much more easier it is to bid all our dearly beloved ones a final “good - night.” s A Mother on Bathing. It seems strange and unaccountable that so many of the really intelligent class act as if in ignorance of the necessity and benefit of bathing. It seems almost ineredible, that theres are many ladies most particular as to dress and fashion, Wwho almost wholly neglect this matter. = Some mothers think when their children get beyond two or three yearsiof age, the fé'equont entire bath can be dispensed With. If some of the main facts of physiology were well known and understood, every one would perceive that cleanliness of the skin is one of the conditions of good health. We learn that the skin- has innumerable minute perspiration tubes, opening on the cuticle, and: these openings are called pores. These tubes are hollow, like a pipe-stem, and lined with wonderfully minute capillaries, which are constantly exhaling the noxious and decayed particles of the body, just as the lungs pour them out thl‘(%ugh the'mouth and nose. It séems clear that injury, more or less, must ensue if this drainage from the body becomes obstrueted. It happens when bathing is disregarded, that the lungs, kidneys or bowels have more than their apportionment.-of work. If these are strong and healthy, they bear the tax with little apparent in- | jury, but in most cases a lowering of the vitality and tone of the system ensues. !

Large bath-tubs are pleasant and convenient,. but not indispensable to the proper cleansing of the skin. A speedy sponging of the body in pure water, followed by friction in pure air, is all that is necessary. When disinclined to use water, I find a thorough ‘application of the flesh-brush to the whole person an admirable substitute; especially on retiring, it relieves nervousness, equalizes the cirlation, and induces quiet sleep. Mothers, above all, should see that their children are well bathed. If their skins are kept active and healthy, there will not be half the danger from fever, colds and eruptive diseases. 1f your little one is ¢ross or troublesome, and finds no oecupation that pleases him, try the effect of the bath; sometimes it is magical, and, if tired, he will go to sleep and awaken bright, cheerful and happy. | Do not though, as I hive seén some parents do, plunge a child into cold water when he screams and shrinks from it, thinking you are doing a good deed. Nature must be the guide. If your child has a nervous ‘constitution, a shock of this kind is only exhausting and injurious.— Eachange.

That Frying Pan. °

And now the doctors are after us—us farmers’ wives. The doctors of Massachusetts say, by way of tlie State Board of IHealth Report for 1874, that one of the most erying 'sins against hygiene in farmers’ families is too much frying of food. Foqod' which would be good and wholesome boiled or baked, is often made\as indigestible by its contact and admixture with melted fat, or butter, as to be almost ruined for all purposes of nutrition. Those who take a good deal of outdoor exercise can stand this fabuse of their stomachs much longer than others can, whosés work is in the house, or who work chiefly with tfleix‘ brains. “The most indigestible of all kinds of food are fatty and oily substarices, if heated. It is on thisj account that pie-crust and articles boiled or fried in fat, or butter, are deemed not as healthful as other food.”

“Really, I cannot think of a single article of food that must be fried. T know of nothing that cannot be made quite as ‘palatable, or more so, when cooked by some other method. All kinds of meat are better broiled, or boiled, or paked, or roasted. It is so with every kind of fish that I know of. Vegetables of.all kinds may be boiled, or baked, or steamed ; and, certainly the poorest way to deal with fruijt is to fry it. [lt may be new to some of our readers that apples fried in pork fat are quite a favorite dish with-many.—Ep.] No kind. of grain can be made up so nicely, or healthfully, by means of the frying pan, as by the use of tllt;c)ven or steamer. To warm over cold potatoes, make them into potato balls, seasoned with cream, and brown them on a baking tin in the oven; or mash them with a fork or potato masher, with cream or milk and salt, in a spider, and warm them on the top of the stove.

If you have cold mush on hand, the easiest thing is to eat'it cold, with milk or eream. Or you can heat it thoreughly in the oven. Or you can make it into nice mush-balls—oat-meal, corn-meal, graham, rye—by mixing the mush stiff with' white" flour, and baking in balls. It is not necessary to fry food in order to warm it over; but if it seems most convenient or desirable, it may be heated upon a griddle, or even in a flat-bottomed frying pan, with only enough butter to keep the food from sticking when it is laid cold upon the hot iron. This can hardly be called frying, and does not fill the room with the odor of scorched grease. Aside from the unhealthfulness of fried food, ‘we should banish the frying pan, if possible, on account of the contamination from this source of the air of our rooms. [Of course we allow Mrs. Rochester to express her views upon this subject, and we agree with her that it is better to abolish the frying pan altogether; than to have so much good food spoiled. But there is proper and improper frying, and when certain things are properly fried, they are quite free from grease.— Smelts when properly fried, may be served on a napkin without'soiling it; the celebrated Saratoga fried potatoes are put up like bonf)ons, without a hint of greasing the paper, and a veal cutlet, or lamb chop, properly .covered with eggs and crumbs, may be fried in.an unobjectionable manner. ~The. trouble is that many sizzle' things in fat, and think they are fried —Ep.]— Am. Agriculturist, . :

SAYS the Crawford County Democrat: “There can be no question but what the one-term for office system, when applied to county officials, is correct. - We are decidedly in favor of -it, and believe that the Democratic party of this county will, in the future not only fayor it, but will make it one of the leading precedents of the party.”

! LIVE STOCK STATISTICS. - By the present assessment law of Indianaitis made the duty of assessors to gather statistical facts exhibiting the productions of agriculturists and other branches of industry. The Auditor of State now publishes a statement, thus obtainéd, giving the number of hogs and sheep.raised in the several counties-of the State during the present year. The total number of hogs is set down at 2,889,554, of 5heep1,201,464. Of this ’liun‘lxber the counties in the extreme northern part off the State contributed thefollowing: (7,)11‘.3¢a¢5. Hogs. £heep.

- The Supreme Court of: the city of Baltimore recently decided in an elaborate case, reférring to the English and American decision,-that furnishing or paying forliquor for votes, even at 'a primary election, is bribery and a violation of law. o The Supreme Court of ' North Carolina, in a celebrated case growing out of the fact that a certain candidate for office had paid for whisky for voters, said: “.\mong the most corrupting practices of candidates for office is the one we have considered in this case. It isbribery of the most vicious and destructive tendency, and deserves to find no favor in courts of justice or from the people themselves;” , : Whatever may be thought about liquor selling and liquor drinking, we feel sure the people are now ready for a stringent enforcement of our constitutional provision on this subjeet, and we sincerely ‘hope that candidates of all parties will so conduct themselves that there may be no occasion to enforce it. The practice of buying the influence of saloons is shameless and degrading both to the candidates and voters, and should be and will be frowned upon by every one who has the least respect for limself of our institutions. The practice is as sad for a Republicdn as 'a Democrat.— Crawfordsville Journal. . 1 el - PE—— : Grant’s Glag Law in Operation. We see that in Georgiuf)[r. llill, an editor writing on some outrage which a Radical willain had committed against domestic peace, was arvested for libel. The arrest, was made by a Federal captain and a company of Federal soldiers. In a quiet town, in which no excitement existed, the civil law—the gag law of Grant—was executed by Federal bayonets. The worst times of the sedition law under Adams give no such example of imperial power. - | "Will the people submit to it? No, never. And so let them say at the ballot-box at the next Congressional election in Pennsylvania.. “A. frde press” is the demand of the Democracy. Give no man the nomination for Congress in this State who is not bold enough, brave enough, able enough to make this one of thetssues in the election in November. ¢ :

Federal troops arresting an editor for libel. Is this liberty ? ‘lt is not the liberty Patrick Henry claimed for America; it is the imperialism of a drunken President seeking power at the cost of*the freedom of the white race in these States.—Commonwealth. ) 4 P—— - { ¢ Indistinct Ailments. - There are many distressing symptoms of disease the causes’of which are uncertain. Debility, nervous irritation, mental stupor, and headache, for instance, may possibly be symptomatic of chronic disease in some particular jorgan; yet, in a large majority of cases, at least, they arise from indigestion, and morbid conditions of the liver and bowels engendered by a foul stomach. When this is the case a few doses of Hastetter’s ‘Stomach Bitters will usually effect a-complete cure, but should the symptoms be only mitigated without being entirely removed, by a brief course of the remedy, let it be continued until every trace of disease has vanished. Dyspepsia is a wonderful mimie. It imitates with startling accuracy the indications of heart disease, brain disease, kidney disease, and- half a dozen other frightful ailments, and when the doctors have soléemnly announced the existence of one or other of these complaints, half a dozen doses of the Bitters will, in most cases, explode their theories by curing the patient. 19-4

. A Lady’s Idea of Venus. | On the piazza of a Long Branch hotel, the other: evening, the following conversation between a pretty young woman and her chevalier was overheard: S She—Why have the newspapers been making such a fuss about the transit of Venus? Who cares anything about it ? ;

He—lt is a matter of great intgrest to science; but then you women neither know nor want to know anything of science, Your sex would not make a voyage to the South Sea,except to find out how Venus might be dressed. She—lf I remember my mythology aright, Venus didn’t wear anything in particular; and now I understand why the men have gone so far to look at her. Almost any Zmn would go several thousand miles to/see a woman that had neglected to put on her clothes. j o He was silent, having received new light on the subject and inwardly wished he had gone, too.—Virginia City Independent. | . e —— : Turkish Bath Towels for sale at Eldred’s Drug Store. e oW

Tue work originally published under the title of Tue NEw AMERICAN CYOLOP.EDIA was comple- | ted in 1862, since which time the wide circulation which it ha§ attained in all parte of the United States, and the signal developments which have taken place in every branch of science, literatnre, | and art. have induced the editors and publishers’ to £ubmit 1t to an exact-and thorough revision, and to issuz a new edition entitled ’PI%ICAMERIGAN CYOLOPADIA. - - : ' | Within the last ten years the progress of discovery in everi department of knowledge has made a new work of reference an Imgerauve want. The movement of political affairs has kept pace with the discoveries of science, and their fruitful application to the industrial and useful arts and the convenience and refinement ofsociallife. Great wars and consequent revolutions have occuarred, involving national changes of peculiar moment . — The civif;war of our own country, which was at its height when the last volume of the old work appeared, has happily been ended, and a new course of commercial and industrial activity has been commenced. : Large accessiong to our geographical knowledge have heen made by the indefatigable explorers of Africa. ; The great political revolutions of the last decade, with the natural result of the lapse of time, have brought into public view, a multitude of new men, whose names are in every one’s mouth, and of whose lives every one is curious to know the particulare. Great battle s have been fought and important sieges mninfltained. ot which the details are as yet preserved only in the newspapers or in the transient publications of the day, but which ought now to take their place in permanent and authentic history. i s In preparing the present edition for the press it has accordingly been the aim of the editors to bring down the information to the latest possible dates, and to furnish an aceurate account of the most recent discoveries in science, of every fresh production in literature, and of the newest inventionsin the practical arts, as well as to give a succinct and original record of the progress of political and historical cvents. : The work has been begun after Joug and care ful preliminary labor, and with the most ample resources for carrying it on to a successful termiI mation. \ None of the or(igiual stereotype plates have been used, but every page has been printed on iew type, forming in fact a new Cyclopadia with the Bame plan and compass as its predecessor, but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure, and with such improvements in its composition as have been suggested Hy longer experience and enlarged knowledge. ! The iHustrations which are introduced for the first time in the present edition have been added not for the sake of ‘plctorial effect, but to give greater lucidity and force to the explanations in the text. They embrace all branches of explanations in the text. They embrace all branches of science and of natural history, and depict the most famous and remarkable feature of scenery, architecture, and art, as well as the various processes of mechanics and manufactnres. Althongh intended for instruction rather than embellighment, no pains have been spared to insure their: artistic excellence ; the cost of their execution is enormous, and it is believed they will find a welccme reception as an admirable feature of the Cyclopwedia, and worthy of its high character. This work 1s sold to Subscribers only, payable on delivery of each volume. It will be completed in sixteen large octavo volumes, each containing about 800 pages. fully illustrated with several thousand Wood Engravings, and with numerous colored Lithographic Maps. : Price and Style of Binding.

Thage roofs are all that is claimed t’('n- them. and should not be classed with a somewhat similar but vastly inferior process of roofing lately introduced in this town. Mr. Caffey having gained a thorough knowledge of put= ting on gravel roofs that wiil not leak and are very durable, respectfully solicits a trial and Enarantees entire satisfaction. For proof of this he refers, with yermissiqn. to Tim ForsyTne and W. A. Browy, L Eonler.
