As usual, the contents arc excellent in every department, and farming in America would hardly he complete without some such periodical. For sound sense and valuable piactical Miggeslions It is not equalled, and the man who will send $1.50 to Orange Judd Co., 215 Broadway, N. Y.. will not regret his investment. The German edition is issued at the same price. A. Albrcchf, will have on ex hibition at the State Fair a splendid oil painting. The scene is taken from Guy. C.

The painting, to one ac quainted with the locality, appears very perfect. Wednesday afternoon the Harp er's again had a lively time of it, the old gentleman, having too much whisky aboard, undertook to play the part of dictator, and didn't find any servile serfs who were willing to submit. The wounding of a step son brought the battle to a close. It was reported for a time that the boy would certainly die from the effects of the stab, but Dr. Marlyn gave it as his opinion thai the boy could attend the preliminary trial, and the fierce edge of the excitement against Harper was considerably dulled.

Wagoner of Lewis Co., Mo., is here to secure a good stock farm ; he purposes locating where he can find a good market for fiue breeds of cattle, a business in whic'i he has been engaged for a long w;.ile. B. S. Morris was in the city Fri day and renewed his interest in the Jouuxal to the extent of two bright dollars. He tells us that wheat is threshing 10 to 14 bus. per acre more than was expected. He con siders fall plowing always the best for wheat. Hugh J. trailer, in company with Dennis Sullivan came over from David City last Saturday. "Huey" has a contract on the A. & N. near David, and will have it completed in about ten days, lie also had a con tract nearMilford, which he finished some time since, and his work being so good, he was given his present contract. It was reported some weeks ago that Hugh had "jumped'' the town, but he seems to have "turned up" all O. K. Success to you, "Huey," and may your shadow never grow smaller. ,Of We learn that Bro. Turner is erecting a dwelling house on Ste ven's addition, and intends moving with his family to town. We are glad to welcome citizens among us, hut regret that our brother should abandon agriculture and stockrais ing, in which he has had such ac knowledged success. Democrat. That sort of " learning " is a very fair sample of the general stock in trade at the Democrat office, and illustrates its customary method of gathering and disseminating news. We have an interest in seeing the Democrat a very truthful, useful sheet, and we still think that we can succeed in bringing it up to a mod erately high grade. It is necessary fdr the editors of the Democrat, both senior and junior, to learn that it is best and safest to seek news at first hand, and then disseminate it as they get it. Wc shall endeavor to impress this lesson on their minds so that they will not forget it. but always, of course, in the kindliest spirit, and only to tlfc end that the public may be benefited by having one more neatly-printed, truthful, conscientious newspaper. How would it look to Mr. Crites to read the following in the Journal? . We learn that Bro. Crites is erect inga printing office on U.P. grounds, near the depot, and intends to de vote his entire time to journalism. We are glad to welcome citizens among us, but regret that our broth er should abandon the law, in which he has had such acknowledged suc cess. This would be tit for . tat, which is a game that any one can play, and we suggest how it might he played, simply that Mr. Crites, the junior editor, may see himself in a glass, if even daikly. We learn that Jack Riddle of Silver Creek was accidentally shot Saturday last, receiving (he contents of a double-barrelled shot gun in his abdomen. Two others with Mr. Riddle were hunting, walking abreast, and about twenty steps apart. The man to the right of Mr. Riddle was carrying his gun thrown over his left arm and pointing to ward Riddle, when it was accident ally discharged. We learn that Mr. Riddle is likely to recover, his wounds not being of a dangerous nature. Some time since Lawrence Bryne insured with Becher & Price, iu the German Insurance Co., and supposed that the policy includ ed grain. His grain was struck by lightning the other day, and Becher & Price, being satisfied that the iu tention bad been to include the grain, at once adjusted the loss. g. A. i:. A graud Reuuion at "Warren's Grove, Butler Co., Oct. 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th. All old soldiers and all their friends (that includes every body) is cordially invited. Fires. A citizen from whom wo get a great many good practical sugges tions tells us that on Sunday last he was putting up a stove, aud found a very serious defect in his chimney, one that would have endangered his building, just so soon as a fire had been kindled. Knowing that stoves will be put up from this time forward till cold weather, aud that 'chimneys are liable to be un safe here, he suggests that every body examine well before using their stoves again, and that the City Council appoint a fire marshal whose duty it shall be to examine all flues, and have any defects rem edied. While on the subject of fires we might as well say that the ex cessively dry season has prepared a great deal of combustible matter, which, together with the high winds we are having occasionally, will render it necessary for every body to be more careful of fire. Those who have not already done so, by mowing or plowing, should now go to work, and thoroughly protect their grain and hay stacks, their sheds, dwellings, &c, from fire. Don't delay it, because you may be too late. When it has to be done anyhow, the sooner the better. The salutations of different na tions would make an interesting study for some one who has the opportunity for extensive observa tion. None could be more director brief than that of the Pawnee who has learned a little English, and who invariably salutes you with "How ?" Many western people are slow to break themselves of this form, learn ed from the Pawnees. Our common English phrase, "How dy'e do?" is but a slight enlargement of the Paw nee's. But isn't it a little singular that a thousand men each day may greet a neighbor with "How d'ye do?" and perhaps not odc of them receive any other answer to their interesting inquiiy than the same question iu return, "How do you do?" The man whose brain is filled with business terms and markets, may occasionally be heard to reply, "No. 1," "Extra," "Fair to middling," Sec. ; but wc heard the other day an atibwer in this line that was new to us, viz, "Among the middlings." How expressive that isl But of all the replies to that important ques tion "How do you do?"wc never heard a queerer than "Well, I can't complain," as though complaining was the usual order of the day, and the respondent would complain if he had any conceivable excuse therefor. -o- SSruinurdN 3iiical World. The September number of Brain ard's Musical World is out, and. as usual, filled to over-flowing with choice new niii-ic aud interesting musical reading matter, including all the musical news of the day. Three beautiful piano pieces, two new songs, and a "Romanza" for violin and piano, arc given in this number. These six pieces arc alone worth $2.00 in usual sheet form, but can all be had in this number of the World for only 15 cents. The sub scription price of the World is only $1.50 per year, and the publishers offer it from now until January, 1SS1, or sixteen months, to all new subscribers who send iu their names this month, with $1.50. This is a very liberal oiler, and no one in terested in music should fail to take advantage of it. Send 15 cents for a sample of the World, and if you arc needing Sheet Music or Music Books, the publishers will mail you their large Catalogue free on appli cation.

It is so simple in construction that little or no instruction is required to become proficient in its use. A child can use it. It has a self-setting needle. Its upper tension is easily controlled, and after beimj once regulated, Is auto matic, requiring no ehangc for any kind of ordinary family work. It is the lightest running machine made, and is nearly noiseless features which no lady can atlord to overlook in the selection of a sewing machine. It is adapted to any kind of sewing, from the lightest muslin and silk to the heaviest woolen or cotton goods, and guaranteed to execute any kind of work ever wanted in a family. lt has the best treadle ever attached to a sewing machine; it being so con structed a to operate with perfect case, and without fatigue to the most delicate lady. Its working parts are case-hardened iron or steel, and so constructed that the "lost motion" in all the wearing parts from long and constant use can be taken up by the simple turning of a screw. Its shuttle is self-threading, made of solid steel, and carries a larger bobbin than almost any other family sewing machine. The tension can be" changed without romovingit from the machine. It has more room under the arm than any other machine made, making it very desirable for dress-maki.ru, seam stresses, tailors and others, who often whh to carry the fabric under the arm without crushing it. It has a device by which the bobbins cae be tilled without running the entire machine, thereby relieving it from wear for this purpose, as, also, relieving the operator of the necessity of removing the work or attachment'), as is the cae in nearly all other machines. It has a double steel feed, or a feed on both sides of the needle, which enables the operator to carry the fabric through either side of the needle, as may be de sired. This feature, combined with the large space under the arm, is found in no other machine, and is an advantage which should not be overlooked. The result of this combination is the "AVIIITE," the eaicst-selling, the most durable, the cheapest, best and largest family Sewing 3Iachinc in the world. For Sale at Doland's Columbus Drug Store.
