I. C. Hodges of Mentor, has left a broom
at S. Higler's on State Street, which is a
curiosity for size, being fully the largest
one we ever saw. If it only wears ns well
as a smaller one there, which, although in
use for over a year is still good, that es
tablishment won't waut another in some

It is rumored that the citizens of this
place are again to have the pleasure of
listening to the readings of Win. Mason

is said, is entirely new and embraces many

I. list Wednesday, one of the masons em

the largest potato we think we ever saw
A single, smooth bulb, it was without a

near tho mountain, but by whom we do

Last Saturday quite a crowd of people
were instructed and amused in watching

was a close question as to whether bipedi-

On Monday morning last Mr. II. X. B.
Richardson died verv suddenly at his room
intheCowles House. Jt will be remem
bered that last week we noticed the fac
of his having burst a bloodvessel, but
was supposed that be had so lar recovered
as to render his condition one of little im

o'clock he again commenced bleeding, an
before any medical assistance could
obtained was dead.

From every part of the country the re
ports show that tli?' present unprecedented
drouth is not confined to anyone locality
but extends over almost overt" portion of
the United States. For two months now
there has everywhere been fell the same
great want of water and up to the present
writing the. e are no indications of rain.
Wells and cisterns. springs and rivers alike
have failed and the present prospect is
that the couudry will suffer all the effects
of a winter drouth unlessspeeilily relieved
by copious and heavy rains,
The change in the banking building of
II. Steele, Esq., is being rapidly mode mi
lder the supervision of S. C. Hiokok, and.
it is needless to say, in a satisfactory and
workmanlike majiner. As nearly fwo
thirds of the buildings along Main street
are built iu the same tbolh.li manner as
this one, the prospect of a number of sim
ilar jobs is good. In all probability nearly
that proportion of the Iinfels are wood,
and their removal and the substitution of
iron or masonry w ill he necessitated with
in a comparatively short lime.
The prospects for a law-suit are srow
in? painfully probable to the stockholders
of the Republic Insuranca Company, resid
ing here. That ecaipany claimed to have
about four million dollar stock but only
20 per cent, of it had been paid in and this
cash on hand is all that the Directors now
propose to pay to the policy-holders.
Naturally there is cousiderable indigna
tion felt in regard to this aetionon the part
of the officers and those who were insured
not only re.fiu,e to receive this amount but
threaten suits to compel the stockholders
to pay in sufficient of their notes, to meet
all losses. There was between thirty and
fortv thousand dollars of stock owned in
this place. . . .'
As will lie seen by the report published
in another column, Prof. T. "T. Harvey- has
at last resigned his position of Superin
tendent of our Union Schools. . .This action
on his part will be a 6ource of deep regret
to all who feel any interest in our public
schools. For over six years Professor
Harvey has had charge of them, and dur
ing that time has brought them up from a
very mediocre position to one where they
stand second to none in the State. As a
teacher and author the Professor is well
known throughout the country, and his
theories and educational works can be
found in almost every dUtrict, and where
eve used are always highly appreciated.
Although this action on the part of the
Professor might have been expected it if
none the less unwelcome.
Work upon the railroad is progressing
finely. Tuesday evening twelve flat cars
were received, aud the next morning
were unloaded." "Wednesday, work was
commenced with the engine. Workmen
are busy taking out the filling at Mentor
avenue crossing. The engine draws six
loaded dump cars. The sand taken from
the filling is used in the railroad yard at
the junction of the two roads. The loco
motive works well, and runs smoothly.
Our reporter is informed that about two
thirds of the ties needed are upon the
ground. There are several thousand in
the yard.- The ground is surveyed for a

purpose of a switch-track and turn-table.

WJ know of nothing fileasanter in these
days than a stroll from the town, out into
ic woods and fields. F.very where the
woodland is warm with autumnal colors,
scarlet aud gold, crimson, russett and
brown, with here and there a leaf hardier
than its brothers, still green or only par
tially touched. Xature-dies in beauty.
Every step taken reveals to one some new
charm; it may be a cluster of scarlet ber
ries or a vine laden with the pearly clus
ters of the small frost grape, or perhaps
only an unusually beautiful leaf. You
may tarry to watch the spry motions of
some squirrel, which has been startled by
our approach, as he sprang up the tree to
his nest. Those 'melancholy days" have
not yet come, but are coming fast, and
soon the woods will be naked and the
meadows brown and sear;" then the
Gre-side is the place, but now let those
ho can, enjoy the open air.
B- reference to our advertising columns
will be seen that we are to be favored
ith a musical entertainment ofBthe high
est order. Ou this Saturday evening the
celebrated Appy Troupe will give oue of
their popular concerts in Wilcox Hall. Of
the persons comprising this company it is
lmost unnecessary to speak so well
known are they to all. M. Henri Appy as
iolinist stands second to none in the
country and is esteemed by many as equal,
not superior, to Ole Bull. Miss Xellie
Freeman the soprano, possesses a voice
rit5 ptrre,Hear, and under thorough con
trol. Mr. AVilliam JIacdonald is a tenor
of rare power and ability while Leo Paul
a boy of only fourteen years of age is a
musical prodigy whose performances are
n the highest degree interesting and en
tertaining. Despite the short notice we
bespeak for this troupe a good house and
(rust that none will miss the opportunity
o attend.
There is no good reason why public of
ficials should be forced to transact the
business of the people in rooms so shabby
nd uncomfortable that no business man
would occupy them, for even one day, as
offices for his own use. On the contrary,
the public buildings ought to be the, finest
in a County and the accommodations the
best. . Evidently our County Commission-'
ers are of this opinion for they have lately
been making such marked improvements
n the Court House that it is now quite
as convenient and neat as most m the
tate. The Treasurer's, Recorder's and,
heritfs offices have been thoroughly
overhauled and refitted the wood-work
in the entire lower story grained a hall
pened near the rear of tho main corridor
and the whole ceiling and walls whitened
and cleaned.- It is", also intended
make other improvements in the
Court Room above, so that when all are
completed our Commissioners may well
feel proud of this work.' The Jail is also
about to be refitted and rendered more
convenient in many respects.
Large fiffts have been . frequent in the
woods upon all sides of us. Parties going
between here and Mentor inform us of one
which it appears has done - considerable
damage upon the land of Messrs. Mason
and Gray. It has burned the timber and
the fences., The extentof the damage our
informants" were not able to decide but es
timated it at several hundred dollars.
Later we learn that it has also burned up
on the land of Mr. Alvord. It operates by
burning out .the under brush and leaves,
sometimes causing large trees to fall. Our
reporter being near Perry last YVednesday
forenoon, heard of a large fire raging neat-
there; the whole county around there was
at that time iu a cloud of smoke. Y'arious
parties who have gone out to hunt have
been driven from the woods. It is no
more than right that they should be, for
there is good .reason to, "believe that the
fires already started have been occasion
ed bv the firing of guns.'The wadding from
one discharge may be the cause of a large
fire; for the leaves and rubbish in many
places are a foot or more in depth and as
dry as tinder. "A little fire kindleth
much." -,

Withiu the pnst two months the dark
wings of the angel of death have been of
ten spread over this community, and from
out their gloom .many of those we loved
the best have been borne across tho silent
river. The deceased was one whose many
good qualities of heart and mind en
deared him to all who knew him. For
some months he had been in the employ of
the First National Bank, and here his
high business qualifications, kindness and
amiability bad enabled him to fill his re
sponsible position with satisfaction to all
with whom he was brought into contact.
In social life and in t lie home circle his
loss will be most severe! v fell. A perfect
geiitleiiinn-r-anafiVctionate sou a faithful I
friend an unselfish companion with a
cultivated taste for all that, was beautiful,
and a natural reverence for all that was
sacred, hia death is one that casts a gloom
over ail.
As we see those whom we have known
and watched as they grew from infancy to
manhood those whom we loved so well
taken from our midst, we cannot but ask.
for what are these child angels made, that
are sent down to this world to bring so
much love and rapture, and to go from us
in such bitterness and mourning? If we
believe in Almighty Love, we must believe
that they have u merciful and tender mis
sion to our wayward souls. The love with
which we love them is something the most
utterly pure and unworldly of which hu
man experience is capable, and we must
hope that ever) one who goes from us to
the world of light', goes holding an Invisi
ble chain of love M" which in draw us
there.

the following communication was pre
sented:

Gentlemen I herewith tender you my
Resignation as Superintendent of your
Schools. A recital of the circumstances
which compel me to do this, at this time
seems unnecessary. Please accept my
heartfelt thanks for your uniform kind
ness, courtesy, and consideration. They
have made the years I have spent in your
employ exceedingly pleasant.
With great respect, yours etc.
Thos. W. Haevey
The resignation was accepted, and the
board by a unanimous vote then tendered
the position of Superintendent-ess to Miss
Augusta M. Hawley, at a salary of thirty
dollars per week. It is not yet determined
by that lady whether she will or will not
accept the situation.

the summer out-door concerts, and supply
a regular amusementthe need of which has
long been telt. Full particulars of this
will be given as soon as arrangements are
made.
Improvement.
Our neighbor the Telegraph comes to us
this week enlarged and improved in every
way. It is now one of the best papers
published iu Northern Ohio, and we con
gratulate the editors and proprietors upon
this proof of their prosperity.
In this connection we cannot but call at
tention to the marked progress which has
been exhibited by the papers of this town
within the past four months. Competition
invariably tends to produce excellence,
and this is as true in regard to newspapers
as anything else. Since the establishment
of the Journal and undoubtedly in con
sequence of that both the Advertiser and
Telegraph have increased in size and
striven to improve in all other respects.
Whether this would have been done had
the Journal not started can, of course,
be only a matter of conjecture; but, as the
one had gone for fifty and the other for six
years without puttiug . forth these evi
dences of a desire to please, it is no more
than fair to assume that to the publication
of the Journal the public are indebted
for the improvement in both the other pa
pers. If not a strong proof of this, at least
a great compliment to the management
and arrangement of the Journal is found
in the closeness with which the Telegraph
has copied almost every detail of the pa
per. Even those who are not acquainted
with the minutia? of the typographical art
cannot )mt see this, and the mere change
of the headings to the different depart
ments cannot hide the imitation. The
"Children's Column" of the Journal ap
pears as "Reading for the Y'oung" in the
Telegraph; the "Agricultural" and "Prac
tical Hints" as "Farm and fireside;" the
"Religious News" as "Moral and Relig
ious;" the "Melange as "Miscellany" and
"Humorous," and iu fact in every depart
ment a deserved compliment to the pros
perity of this paper is paid by the close ap
proach in similar departments of tiie 1'el-
tgrbpli. We return our thanks for the
tribute thus made, and cannot but feel
more than gratified by this public and
practical jiroof of the appreciation in which
this paper is held not only by the people
t large but by our neighbor in the same
business. " When venerable age abandons
its time-hallowed customs to adopt those
of a younger aspirant to public favor it is
an honmge so delicate and convincing that
mere words are almost inadequate to ex
press one's appreciation of it.
David Keutly, Alias Wilson.
Perhaps not all of our readers are aware
that the notorious burgler and thief who
was latelv hung at Hartford. Connecticut,
for the murder of William Willard, War
den of the State Prison, was an offender
once well known in this locality. Through
the kindness of C. H. Williams, Esq., an
extended notice, of this man as published
in eastern paiiers was handed us, from
which we extract some interesting facts
relating to his operations in this vicinity.
It is seldom that in the annals of crime
oue is able to find a stranger record than
that of this Kently, or one where the crim
inal has succeeded for so many years in
evading the punishment of his misdeeds.
He was born at Belfast, Ireland Jily 29th,
1824, and was, consequently, 4" years of
age at the time of his execution. At the
early age of ten or twelve years he com
menced that career of crime which finally
ended ou the gallows and in the course of
which he passed through more desperate
encounters and hair-breadth escapes than
would have set up in trade a dozen old-
tiine foot-pads or bold highwaymen. In ,
prison in five States, he succeeded in es
caping from nine State Prisons besides a
number of local jails and other places of
confinement, two in Cleveland one lrom
the Station House and one from the Jail
audone in Columbus fromthe Penetentiary .
But his history is more particularly inter
esting when connected with the burglaries
that were committed in this place during
the vearlStU.
Our readers will readily call to mind
that during the summer aud fall of 1SC4,
the stores of Messrs. Blaektnore and Bak
er, Mrs. Scofield and Miss Holcoinb were
broken open and various amounts of goods
taken from them, also that a horse belong
ing to Mr. II. Elias. was taken at one
time, and the County Sheriff's at another,
for the purposo of carrying off the spoils
obtained from the stores. The lirst time
that goods were taken, was, we believe,
from the store of Mrs. Scolield and con
sisted mainly of silks and ribbons, hut
which were afterwards found, secreted
under the steps of the old Episcopal
Church. The thief or thieves (it is believ
ed Kently had an accomplice.) entered the
rear of Bbtckinore and Bakers store and
succeeded iu removing from it goods
amounting to in the aggregate to about
$:!,.-on. These were carried to Cleveland
and from there were sent to the store
one Lynch, upon Grand St., New York,
who sent fifteen hundred dollars to Kent
ly, in payment, excusing himseli for not
sending more, willi tiie plea, that "gold
bad fallen." In.lune Mr. A. R. llurd of
Willoughby suffered bythe hands of the
same operator to the extent of nbont
000. Messrs. lttaekmore and Uunl went
together to New York, but failed to recov
er much of their property although they
did succeed iu finding some portions of it.
YVhilc there Mr. ltlaekinore had several in
terviews with Kently, at which K. talked
quite frankly about the robberies. Mr. B.
describes the man as being of very good
address and general appearance, and suf
ficiently intelligent to have made an hon
est living at almost any legitimate calling.
During his final imprisonment he employ

Auyone riding over the Lake Shore Rail
way and afterward writing to a newspa
per, is of course expected to say some
thing about the road and especially so if
he happens to live along the line of it. It
does not necessarily follow, however, that
all that need be said about it shall be com
plimentary. It is a fact that at least a
porton of tbekindness and obligingness of.
its managers toward those along its line,
departed with the end of the iudependance
of its sections; aud they, as well as the
stockholders on the Cleveland Painesville
& Ashtabula Railroad Company, live to
regret the consolidation. We are thank
ful, however, that our new masters have
been considerate enough to leave us the
old conductors, and the whole traveling
public testify that the Cleveland fc Erie
Division conductors are an ornament to
their calling.
There is one thing the company should
do at once, viz: Provide second class cars
into which smokers are not allowed. There
are liable to be at any time, and especially
so in these days Of disaster and conflagra
tion, ladies and gentlemen of education
and refinement traveling, whose circum
stances are such as to compel them to pur-
chase second class tickets; and to whom
the fumes of tobacco are terribly disgust
ing, if, however, such people desire to
travel over the L. S. & M. S. Railway, they
must do so in a smoking car. Better i
ould it be to have no smoking car at all
and best of all to have both.
Arriving in Buffalo,and having of neces
sity to consult some of the Criminal Rec
ords of the county, I got a regular "stun
ner in the way of experience. Inquiry
and a little pedestrianism brought me to
the Court House, and, after ascending
several stairs, to a Court Room. Justice
was there and in session, and after a little
skirmishing my wishes were communi
to the Clerk. Of course I was in the
wrong "Ptw," and on anotherstreet was a
new Court House where every thing could
be found out. This was only partially true,
however, and after visiting office after of
fice I was about to throw up my hand and
call it a misdeal. In sheer desperation I
attacked the first man I met on the side
walk, and as is sometimes the case, my
accident proved my salvation, as he was
the 'iOriginal Jacobs Himself," and the
verv knowledge I wanted was obtained
from him.
Having a few hours at my disposal aud
noticing that the "International Industrial
Exposition" had not yet adjourned, I went
for that exhibition.
It is, or was, really a good show, and
almost everything ornamental or useful
was there. Some very fine paintings and
chromos good specimens of the art Pho
tograpic American, real and Venetian
Bronzes of the latter a splendid display
and other similar articles form a de
partment, which especially attracted my
attention and interest.
The exhibition proper had closed, but
was kept open this one day for the benefit
of the Chicago people. It is held in the
Rink, and immediately back of it was
built a temporary structure for the dis
play of machinery. Almost everything
that can with any sort of propriety be call
ed a machiue was here, running in busi
ness like order. I was particularly struck
with the Jig and scroll sawing machines,
as the men operating these were sawing
out many different shaped ornaments.
One young man was finishing, as I came
up, a beautiful toy rocking ciiair, sawed
out of a small block of black walnut. He
kindly showed It to me, said it was for
sale for the benefit of the Chicago suffer
ers. I was getting ready to respond to
his appeal and ask the price,
when he added, "it's a nice thing to take
home for the children to play with." My
interest vanished and the Chicago suffer
ers lost a quarter. I couldn't see the con
nection in this particular instance be
tween cause and effect. I left the exhibi
tion. A night on the New York Central and
the next morning in Albany. YVhat the
N. Y. Central is every traveller knows, as
they also know that it has tome gentleman
ly conductors. They pay tjiem shabbily
however, and that may be some excuse.
At Albany I found fortunately or unfor
tunately as the case may be, that I must
go away to the Northern part of the state,
and having been to my destiuation have
crossed Lake Champlain to Burlington,
where I write this. I have been on the
outskirts of the Adirondacks and may
take occasion to tell you something of what
I saw there. J

Ideas, like persons, always appear much
better when well dressed. The man who
habitually carries about with him a dilap-
idatcd appearance, will never attain to as
good a position in society, as he whose
outward adorniugs are always in good
taste. Just so with ideas. Thev are not
half as likely to engage the attention, arc
not near as effective when they appear in
slovenly attire, as when clothed in choice
and beautiful language. This thought ap
pears to have been u prominent one with
the writer of the Holy Scriptures. Beau
tiful beyond comparison are many of the
figures and forms of speech, and the Ian
gunge there used. 1 he whole range of

and choice examples of elocution, YVri

leges such as the ancients never dreamed
of; living in the light and glory of the
nineteenth century, with its accumulated
stores of learning and knowledge, can
scarcely hope to furnish examples of
composition equaling those of Moses, Da
vid, Isaiah and Jeremiah. The ninth
verse of the forty-seventh chapter of Gen
esis, is a passage of exceeding beauty.
Egypt was the most opulent and pow er

plains, watered by the annual over-flow of
the Nile, that most mysterious of all the
rivers of the earth, furnished such plent:
ful supplies of the necessaries of life, that
she was called the "granary of the world."
O, that wonderful "River of Egypt."

the twelve patriarchs lived, and here their
descendants after them dwelt in peace for
many years, until "another king arose
who began to oppress, and to "make their
lives bitter." nere Moses was born and
hid three months, aud over this river in
after years, the arm of this same Moses
was stretched in vengeance. This is the
river of which Homer sang and Isaiah
prophesied, and by the 6ide of which fell
the tears of the weeping Jeremiah.
Joseph, the favorite son of the patriarch
Jacob, having incurred the displeasure of
his ten elder brethren, was by them sold
to a company of traders, who carried him
down into Egypt, where, for several years
he was held .in bondage. He was, at
length, unjustly accused and thrown into
prison, where he was kept for two full
years. While in prison, he was success
ful in interpreting the dreams of two of his
fellow prisoners. It appears that his be
ing skilled ia the interpretation of dreams
was what first brought him to the notice
"of the king. It is written that "Pharaoh
dreamed, and behold, he stood by the riv
er. And behold, there came up out of the
river seven well favored kine and fat flesh
ed : and they fed in a meadow. And behold,
seven other kine came up after them out
of the river, ill favored and lean fleshed
and stood by the other kine upon the bank
of the river. And the ill favored and lean
fleshed kine did eat tip the seven well fa
vored and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.
And he slept and dreamed the second
time, and behold, seven ears of corn came
up an one stalk, weak and gaunt. And
behold, seven thin ears and blasted with
the east wind sprang up after them. And
the seven thin ears devoured the seven
sound and and full ears." In the morning
the kings spirit was troubled, and he sent
for the magicians and wise men of the
land, to interpret the dreams, but this they
were unable to do. Joseph was then sent
for, who told the king that the purport of
the matter was, seven years of great plen
ty throughout all the land, to be followed
by seven years of famine. This interpre
tation appeared to the king so reasonable,
that he accepted it as prophetic, and im
mediately appointed Joseph to oversee the
matter, giving him almost unlimited auth
ority in the kingdom, for, "only in the
throne" said he, "will I be greater than
thou." During the seven years that fol
lowed, there was wonderful productive
ness, for it is said that "the earth brought
forth by handfuls." There was much
more than enough to supply the present
wants of the inhabitants. Joseph caused
all this surplus to be purchased in the
name of the king, and carefully stored it
away against the time of want which he
well knew was fast approaching. .
At length the seven vears of plenty were
enaed, and the seven years of famine came
on apace. This cruel famine, it is written,
was "over all the earth," but, owing to the
wise and prophetic foresight of Joseph,
there was "corn in Egypt." There was
great dearth in the land of Canaan, for it
is said of the patriarch Jacob and bis fam
ily, that at the end of two years, thej
found no substance for themselves and
cattle. Hearing that there was plenty in
Egypt, the ten elder sons of Jacob, took
each of them his beast of burden and pro
ceeded thither, for the purpose of purchas
ing provisions for themselves and fami
lies. The ten Hebrew men accomplished
this journey of three hundred miles, and
came into the presence of Joseph, to whom
they made knOwn their business, little
dreaming that this great man of Egypt in
whose presence they were, was none oth
er than that same younger brother of
theirs, whom they had so cruelly treated
a few years before. When Joseph saw
his brethren, lie knew them, but made
himself strange unto them, and spoke
roughly to them, appeared not. to believe
their statement concerning their father
aud his family, charging them with being
spies, &c, and shut them up in prison for
three days, but finally allowed them to
depart, with the exception of Simeon
whom he retained as a hostage. The nine
then made their sorrowful journey home
ward, carrying supplies of food with them.
These provisions were, no doubt, made to
last as long as possible, but, at length
cruel want again began to stare them in
the face, aud a second journey into Egypt
became necessary .

A poor Irish woman, residing at Renovo
whose name, we regret exceedingly, has
not been given us lias set an example of
self-sacrificing generosity without a par
allel in all the noble spontaneous response
to the cry of the Chicago sufferers. Learn
that the citizens of Henovo were
about sending provisions to Chicago, she
directed her son to take her only cow to
the butcher's, have it slaughtered and
half the meat donated as her contribution.

YY'e have meagre particulars of a horri
ble and fatal accident, which ocenrred on
Tuesday, to the daughter of the Snperin
tendent of the paper mill at Mansfield, a
girl about 18 years of age. She was a
cripple, and being left alone in the house
by her parents, both of whom worked in
the mill, undertook to prepare dinner
The supposition is that while thus engaged
her dress caught tire from the stove, as
she was lying near It with every particle
of clothing except her garters burned off.
She was nearly dead, and survived but
short time. Ibid.

exclamation, and looked up just in time
to see him fall a distance of twelve or tif-
teen feet. Doctors Ely and Taylor were
summoned and found him insensible from
concussion of the brain, and partially
paralyaed. All efforts to revive him proved
futile, nnd at ten o'clock on last Saturday
night he, unconsciousfy, and undoubtedly
without a pang, yieloed up his bright and
promising young existence, at the age of
fourteen years, Ibid.

Pursuant to the proclamation of Mayor
McKee, a meeting of our citizens was
held in Excelsior Hall on Thursday eve
uing of last week to consider the question
ot extending relief to the sutlering ones
of Chicago. The Assembly comprised
most of Yonno:stown's solid and influential
citizens, and was pervaded with an evi
dent feeling of sadness at the great calam
it y which bad befallen the city of Chica
rendering thousands ot numan bem
homeless and dustitute. Contributions of
clothing were received by the commit tc
of ladies, and on Saturday three large
boxes were forwarded to Chicago.- Anot her
large box was forwarded by the same com
mittee to the sufferers in YVisconsin nnd

tute by tho late terrible tires in that sec
tion. It is estimated that tho contribu
tions of Youngstown to this charity will

The march of improvements is ever on
ward. What we regard as perfect ion and
number one to-day, is only second-rate to
morrow. e saw, recently, m the Tin and
Stove establishment of Mr. S. Andrews,
an improved Revolving Light Coal Stove,
all set up and in running order, which we
thought to bo tiie best thing we bad yet
seen in that line, and possessing advan
tages which cannot fail to please all who
see it. There are two tiers of ising glass
windows; one tier in the usual place, the
others around the base; so that tho grate,
instead of being closely shut up, is in plain
iew. and from which nearly as much
heat is radiated as from the upper cham
ber. The grate itself will revolve, and the
little doors surrounding it can be opened
at any time and the dead coal and clinkers
be removed without anywise disturbing
the fire. The draft, too, is quite different,
more simple, and better regulated than in
other stoves we have tried of similar pat
terns. The room get9 the benefit of the
whole heat of the burning coal fltom the
bottom of the stove up. If you want to
see a nice stove, go and have a look at this
and judge of it for yourselves. The new
advertisement of Mr. A. will appear next
week. Shop opposite the old American

turning out flour that wins friends of those
who use it once. Mr. Haydn employs
the best millers to be found, and has in
