A Ban’ll tumbled from the sccoitd story of Starr’s new building, day before yesterday, and perched for an instant on the head { of Mr. Jacob Eiglnshach, but it was busy and plowed a furrow to. the bone, from which the blood flowed freely for a while. Mb. 801. McCuutain knows a good horse when he secs it and usually manages to keep half a dozen on his farm in Barkley township, but he has a five-year-old of his own raising that he thinks is a little the best and speediest of the natives of the county. It is surprising how many people are afflicted with opthaluiia in some form. During the ten days Dr. I!random stopped here the town was overrun with people suffering witli sore eyes. Where did they come from ? Jjs it a contagious epidemic? Jacob Kiolesbach, the butcher,, would raspectfully call upon those of his patrons whom he has favored with credit, to make immediate payment of their accounts, lie must have money to keep (ho chop supplied with stock. Call without delay and make settlements, without further dunuing. To All whom It may Concern The undersigned hereby gives notice that he will dress machine guards for from $3 to $3.50 per set. Also will put on four new horse-shoes for $1.20, and reset four old ones for GO cents. Other wotk iu proportion. - Terms strictly cash. Samp. Erwin. Thrkk cents will buy a single copy of this paper, nod one cent wi 11 pay the postage to any address iu the Culled States. When one does not feel like writing and has no special business or [lersoiial topic in J cuss, it will be found a jWMitrgnhstitiife for a let terjq.aeartftfT friend, nnd the more so i-if tfukt frieud lisa ever lived in the county. There is a snug little man carrying a mortar hod on Starr’s new building, that probgbly weighs 150 or 155 pounds, who is sail to lie able to lift more than bis own weight with on* hand and hold it out at arm’s length. He carries all the mortar, that will lay in a common bod with the greatest app,renl ease, working industriously all day long with scarcely a steppage save for meals. Warning. —Notice is hereby given that parties hunting upon the premises of the undersigned will be taken up for trespass and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Sportsmen will take notice and govern themselves accordingly. Mien a Sayleu, Titos. J. Saylkr, Jno. T. Saylkr, Ciias. Benjamin. Call at the postofiice store for drygoods, cloth,ng, boots, shoes, hats, caps, groceries, and in fact anything usually kept iu a firstclass genera! mercantile establishment. Vou will find the proprietors -and clerks always ready and willing to wait upon customers. It will do you good to look at their large stock of goods whether you w 1 lit to buy or not. They consider it no trouble to show goods. Dead! Dead! Dead! During the harvest season business throughout the country is apparently dead, or at 11 standstill, and all departments ol' trade und commerce experience a lull; so it is wiih the mercantile business; but, nevertheless, F. J. Soars & Co. are on hand with a.full stock of merchandise and are selling goods right down at bottom figures. With a little oash any person can secure great bargains at their establishment The fourth and last quarterly meeting of the Rensselaer cirou't M. Ks church for the j present conference year was held in the grove at liluc Grass school house, six miles west of Rensselaer, last Saturday and Sunday, Presiding Elder Smith officiating. The Sunday services were made the occasion of a basket meeting which was largely attended by citizens of both the town and country. Elder Smith did not fill his appointuicnt at this place Sunday evening owing to the fact that he had another quarterly ine< ting to hold at Remington, the two appointments being on the same day. He was assisted at both meetings by Rev. Thus. Vanscov.

House Stoi.es. —Last Saturday a mall onlered the pasture of Mr. Eugene l’ark in Carpenter township, near the Newton coutt- ! ty line, went among a drove of forty horses, I selected one, led it out of a gate within a fgty jreds of the house, mounted and rode away.' This was directly after dinner time. Mrs. Park saw the whole transaction, hut thought the man was a"neighbor whose horses were pastured there. Two hiked men wen; at work only a short distance oil', saw the proceeding, but supposed it was right enough —thHt .Mr, Park hail given somebody permission to take the horse for a temporary purpose. Rut nol-ody knows the man nor where he went, nor has fie brought hack the horse,' w' it h. is thus described : Seven years old; bright bay; three white feel; possibly (not positive) a star in face; heavy black mane and tail; small eyes somewhat sunken; thin ill flesh; weight probably about .1,050. ’A reward of S 2-5 is ofreVei) A'.r the capture of the thief, and §25 for tliq horse, Exchange* please notice.
