il,nr The Self-Binder raid Our Debt.
The self-binder was first successfully at
tached to the reaper in l87o : from ISfii to
187 fi inclusive, our average crop of wheat,
varying more with the season than with the
planted area, had been 258,000,000 bushels.
In 1877, when the self-binder first began to
be used, the crop mounted to nearly 3b4,
000,000 bushels. Again, in 1878, it mount
ed up; and from that date to inclu
sive, in which period the use ol the selt
binder had become general, the average
crop, varying more with the season than
with the planted area, was 440,000,000
bushels. Could the crops of the last ten
vears have been saved without the self
binder? When we consider that the total
number of self-binding reaper* now made
and sold is more than 100,000 a year, re
quiring over 30,0**0 tons of twine to bind a
single wheat crop, do we not find in the ty
ing of that knot on the self-binding har
vester a main factor in the export ot grain
with the returning import of gold, on which
we resumed specie payment? By that single
improvement the cost ot w heat w as reduced
not less than six per cent., and in some
places teu per cent—Edvard Atkinson in
the October Forum.
The traiu for the West was about ready
to start from the Grand Central Station,
when a qu» 6'-looking set of men hurried
into a special car which had been reserved
for them. Sturdy-looking men they were,
and strangely accoutred. Some carried
lanterns, one a photographer’s outfit, while
the chief of the party supported a la-so ou
his right arm, and with his left hand caress
ed the shiny surface of a pair ot brightly
plated handcuns a oystaouer, curious iu
know the meaning of this strange array,
accosted one of the men, and asked whether
they were a wrecking gang, and if the ac
cident was a bad one. The stranger smiled,
ami said : "Sir, are in the employ of the
National Republican Committee, and are on
our way to Indiana with instructions to
find a man by the name ot Harrovian or
Harrigan, who was nominated by the I’e
publicans for President, a short time ago.
Our orders are explicit, and we must catch
him, dead or alive, he rMli ■ h t Novem
ber next. We are fully prepared, you see
even for identifying him, by a photograph
sent to headquarters, in case we are lucky
enough to find him."
Ex-Congressman “Richelieu" Robinson
of Brooklyn is here. Hi- presence moves
a local paper to recall one of the stories
which were told when John Finerty and
Mr. Robinson were colleagues in the Forty
seventh Congress and vied with each other
in their hatred of everything English.
Finerty had made a strong speech against
England, declaring that a boycott ought to
be put on all goods of English manufacture.
“No honorable and patriotic Irishman.”
shouted he, “will ever wear or u-f an article
of English gixids." “(}■ 1, : ood," -aid
Richelieu." “I have been preaching that
doctrine for thirty years. Come down and
have something. They went down to the
house bar. "What will ye have, John?”
“Wed, I'll take a bottle of Bass’ ale."
“What, drink B.t—' ale after spwch? I
should think it would stick in your throat,"
shouted the astonished ‘‘Richelieu. An
swered the imperturbable Finerty: "I find
often times a degree of -ati-taction in swal
lowing my enemies." ’’I never thought ot
that. Two bottles of ba-s a e, waiter.

.1 Snake Struck by Liijhtntny.
During the thunderstorm that visited
Crescoville the other day a maple tree in
front Miner Cre-.'"'s residence wa- struck
by lightning. The only d image to the tr.-e
was the chipping of a pi. v of the trunk,
as il it had beeu doue with an axe, about
midwav between the ground and the lower
branches. After the storm was over Mr. C.
went out to look at the tree. On the
ground at the f it of the tree lay an im
mense black-nake, dead, holding in its
rnouth a young robin. There was a robin's
nest iu the tree and it w. - known to have
had three young ones it the day before. A
bov climbed the tree ami found two young
robins in the nest. It is -upposed that the
snake had climb d the tree to the rn-tof
the newly-hatch. third* and was descend
ing the trunk as it was struck and was
killed with its prey in it- mouth.

EACHUS’
HOG CHOLERA.
CURE AND PREVENTIVE!
(Patented April 27, 1388.)
To THE Public.—We wish to say that this
great and only remedy is not the result of any
chances, neither is it a nostrum for speculation,
but has been experimented with and thorough
ly tested for two years prior to our purchasing
it. The man who first used it was Moses
Frantz, who had charge of a herd ot U>00 hogs
in 1884. 500 of these died with cholera. Mr.
Frantz and Mr. Eachus experimented in every
conceivable manner to check the ravages ot
the disease, dissecting many dead hogs, and
compounding many prescriptions, until they
happily hit upon a remedy. Before Mr. Frantz
could put his remedy before the people he died
from blood poisoning, brought on by cutting
up .lead hogs which had died with cholera.
He left all his trifling worldly effects to Mr.
Eachus, who had not the necessary means to
put it before the public, and who was anxious
that some of his old friends should have it.
When Mr. Eachus came here we had little laith
in his cure, but, after testing it in many severe
cases at home—notably, Mr. Rhodes and Mr.
Felteberger's—we became convinced beyond
doubt that it was all lie claimed for it. Since
then we have used it in many severe cases,
and the result is before the public Not a sin
gle hog lias died which we treated, and in no
case have any taken it when fed this remedy.
It will cure Hog Cholera, it will prevent Hog
Cholera. We have been at heavy expense
placing a cure before the people, and now only
ask that they appreciate our efforts by giving
it a trial. .... ,
It will pay you to feed it if your hogs are
well. It will kill every manner of louse, insect
life in hog, trichinae not excepted. It will kill
every nit and louse on the hog. It will cleanse
vour hog of scruff or mange. It will increase
the appetite five-fold. It is just what every
body has been looking for.
HOG CHOLERA!
The disease gets its origin from a low order
of insect life—on and in the animal. There is
in the medicine an ingredient which extermi
nates insects and nits, both internally and ex
ternally. ....
The kidneys do not act properly, which is
also provided for.
Dissecting hundreds of liog9 has shown that
mortification always sets in ueiore ueaui, w uiuu
is prevented by an antiseptic. Ninety-seven
per cent, of hogs afflicted are constipated. To
obviate this, the medicine contains a laxative
and resolvent.
In the other three per cent, the bowels are
found to be loose, which is overcome by the
use of Tincture of Opium with the medicine,
as per directions on the bottle.
The medicine also contains a powerful tonic
to build up the debilitated condition of the hog.
PRICE, $1.00 PER QUART BOTTLE.
Joses & Bcti.br—Gentlemen—I have used
the patented Hog Cholera preventive with
successful effect. It is an excellent remedy and
certainly a public blessing.
