Sufferers wishing to profit by the adviser's experience can do so fir addressing in perfect confidence - WOHS B- OGDEN, 42 Codar St., New York A MARKET FAIR We have been trying for the past two ye are to work our citizens and farmers iuto the idea of starting some thing similar to the followiug. and yet hope they may pee the benefits to arise therefrom and organize a similar, insti- tuliou. The Sycamore Republican eay»: The farmers of Savanna, III., Mid Vi­ cinity are trying to establish a market fair, that will be held every two or three months, and on which occasion a general sale will occur of such articles or stock as they may wish to sell. It strikes us that that plan is a good one, and it'it proves successful it will no doubt be adopted generally over the country. We cannot do better than give the advantages of such an associa­ tion as set forth in the Savanna Timca, which says: The general object ©f tttis fair is to set apart a day once in two or three months for the farmers of the surrounding country to come into town, bring in their stock to show, and any other stock which they desire to dis­ pose of, either to sell or exchange, and also anything else produced upon their farms which they have for sale, sheep, calves pigs, poultry, butter, eggs, etc., etc., willliere find a market when the fair is once thoroughly established.-- When it is once understood that on the Market Fair day may be found all these things for sale, here is where the buyers will go for purchases. The horse buy­ ers attend these fairs to buy horse's; the butchers will come here to buy fat cattle, sheep and calves, and it will be found to be a place for general trade and traffic for the entire community, and all parties will be benefited there­ by. It. will also be found to be a place for general interchange of opinion and day of recreation for the farmer; he will return to«hfs home refreshed and invigorated, and resume the duties of his larin with some new ideas obtained at the fair, and altogether a happier man and probably with more money In his pocket or in the bank. 8@f*Mr. Secretarv Evarts is witty. That was a neat thing he said in his little speech at Bennington, when al­ luding to Arteimis Ward's willingness to sacrifice all his wife's relations on the alter of his country, he added: "But John Stark went farther than that, and declared himself willing to sacrifice his wife's husband."' But, ac­ cording to the Washington Nation he recently perpetrated a well-defined pun, as follows: Conversing with a couple of literary men, one 6f whom was Bret, Harte, he said: Literary men can get laurels on their brows, but they can't get brouse en their laur­ els." |f the Secretary of State is go- Will be necessary for ' severe critics to revise their opinions of that form of wit. • BIG BARGAINS HATS, CAPS, k 8lig<htlv damaged bv Water in the lateflre, at Nos. 19*2 and 104 Madison St., corner Fifth Avenue.

IST1 A few weeks ago a boy In Lan- chester, Pa., fell between the bumpers of a moving train, but his pantaloons catching on some portion of the car he was held suspended over the rail without injury until the train stopped, when he was released. Had the cloth in his trousers^een poor stuff the lad would have been filled. This incident shows theadvautage of wearing strong clothing. In Lanchester Coutitj' a few days ago, a man who was driving a thrashing-machine had one, of his pan­ taloon legs caught In the couplings and torn completely oft. Had , the eloth "been of sterner stuff the man probably would liave been killed. The moral of this incident is,---well it Is 80 plainly and diametrically opposed to the first, that it is hardly worth while indicat­ ing.--Norristown Herald. NOT APPRECIATED.-- A young gen­ tleman attached to a western paper went to hear M'ss Abbott sing, and this is the way it affected him:"Miss Abbott is beautiful as an angel, and was dressed in green. Her voice is sweet as the tender accents of a mother crooning her only babe to sleep, and strong as a tempest when it roars in the forest and smashes the monarches of the woody vales. Listening to her, the soul is lifted on wings of infinite joy, and soars into the realms of the eternal.. When she ceased singing we fell back again to earth, and were as stunned by the concussion as though we had fallen from the top of a 4-story house, or been kicked in the stomach by a mule." After writing this, he went out and treated himself to two rye whiskies and went home satisfied that he had immortalized himself' When he reached the office the next morning the clerk handed hi'm an en­ velope, which he opened and in it found the following letter: Mr. Charles Cithers-- Sir: You are a fool. Apply to the cashier for what's owing to you. The best thing you can do is to go hoeing potatoes, carrying coal, or driving a mule team. Your knowledge of musical criticism is original. So was the information of the individual who told the world that a cengar was a very large bird, much larger than the crow. Make yourself scarce around this office. X. B. MIJKSTKR, Editor.

EDITOR SOLON- PLAINDEALER:--Our trip t4Fox Lake, Saturday Aug. 25th, was day selected by the Solon people as * «ay for recreation and amusement.-- Tl»e steamer "K. Emerson" having b|*o chartered for the day, and Overy o^ie invited were asked to be in readi- ittls to commence the yoyage at 9 A. It. The ladies being busily engaged tfe« day previous doing their "level in the line of cooking were com. polled to sit up uutil nearly midnight ptUtting their hair up in papers and trying to come to some conclusion as to which dress they should wear and lifee Flora McFlinsey, tncy each de- ci§red they had nothing fit for the oc- c£|lon, ami no decision was made until m&rning, when they made a hasty se­ lection out of their twenty or more,* packed up the goodies for dinner anil s<ii&n after seven A. M., they were in rgad iness for the . morning ride. The a|| was cool and the noble horses being iii^ood spirits soon brought us near t>i§ beautiful flowing stream, Fox Rfirer. After procuring stable room fof the horses and viewing some of the sQinerv in Mcllenry, we all answered sent" on board the little steamer, Li it was a few minutes after nine n a sharp, shrill whistle notified all we were going to leave the shore alip we were soon out in the center of tiMI little weedy stream. We had gone bip a few rods wheu we noticed some oipur friends arrive on the shore but tl#y were too late to procure a passage fiat trip and turned their faces eward in sad disappointment, liav- lcarned an experienced lesson 4,it tter to be on time." We were lit- tnore than two hours from leaving to reaching laud again, yet as all so busily engaged admiring the lerv, playing with the water, look- for the mouth of the Nippersiuk, the two hours were very short,-- r landing, the crowd soon decided as time for dinner and places were selected for spreading the cloths, every one ate until they were sat- they could eat no more. After fer the crowd dispersed in different ioiiSj some to select a place to croquet, some took little row and wandered far out into the , some gathering ferns on the liill- and others gathering shells and by the lakeside. Indeed the jgcame so scattered that it took of the steamer before we could safely cry "all aboard, drive on" &c. We were nearly three hours going back to McHenry, and we had a variety of coun­ tenances on board, for some were sea­ sick, some homesick, and I verily be­ lieve some were lovesick, and some even vexed because the boys spattered water on their faces and then told them thej* done it to see if they used paint. The drive home in the evening was full as pleasant as the morning drive, jret when we arrived at our homes we were all glad we had went and glad we had returned. Our Public School elbsed Friday, the 24th. An entertainment was given in the evening which passed ofl credita­ bly to both teacher and pupils. The paper edited by Miss E. Moore and Miss J. Wilson, was especially interest­ ing and w® caunot refrain from credit­ ing its contributors as being able and efficient writers, and when we take the ages of the pupils into consideration we declare it second to none. Miss Fannie Kelley has taught our school successfully for the past six terms, and we feel that we have been very lucky in procuring her services for the coming winter. That suushiue and prosperity may continue to crown her labors, is the wish of her many friends. DON. The following is the closing paragraph, in a three page review of the report of Sir Hubert to the British Government, and present the results already accrued from the Centennial Exhibition, and to be still further ad­ vanced through the established of the Permanent Exhibition: "The foreging extracts will serve to show how throughly American ac­ hievements are appreciated; how frankly American superiority in cer­ tain direction is knowledged, and how lightly the points of inferiority, when such exist, are dwelt upon byour English cousins. The publications of such a work in England cannot but prove of inestimable benefit to American man­ ufacturers, and to those who regret that it is now too late to add their sup port to the Centennial enterprise, to which we owe this international re­ cognition; we have only to say, devote, your time, your means, and your in­ fluence to the aid of its prototype, the Permanent International Exhibition, and trie results will be even more satisfiyiug than were the triumphs of its brilliant but short-lived predecess­ or." 0 New styles of Ladies neck wear.

The President's Indian policy is of the latest consideration here. It is wonderful how one important matter is dropped for another as they come along One day the whole country will be on a tip-toe ot excitement over some political question or other, a set­ tlement of which it would seem must occupy many days or weeks of the rul­ ing powers, and the very next day it will all be lost sight of in the advent of some new complication or policy or excitement. We live in fast times.-- Politics and public affairs in general constitute an unfathomable mysteiy with which we can only keep pace by following their inevitable develop­ ments. Indian matters we must look to now because we are shortly to re­ ceive a visit from a delegation of chiefs They are too treacherous to be treated as anything but savages, even though they are partially civilized. Yery gradually our people are learning to realize this, and one of President H#yes' last orders is that no mora arms and ammunition shall be issued to the Indians by the government. They have been abused and their ignorance has been taken advantage of, but for all that, they must be Under control as other Amprican citizens are,beforelife or property is safe, and Chat will uever be except by foice. We are already beginning to get a daily taste of the delightful Autmnn weather that is in store for us. The sidewalks and porches and lawns and parks are thronged with people of all ages. Little children play out of doors and the city begins to waken, Mauy are returning -from the country and seaside and other summer resorts, and the town already is assuming quite an appearance of life, a contrast to what we have seen here for the past three mouths. The coming Fall and Winter has great things in store for the Capi­ tol in the way of society^ pleasure and public entertainments. An unusual number of prominent people will visit here( and an unusual amount of mat ter interesting to the general public will be discussed aud disposed of by Con­ gress. Meantime reform is going steadily on in the civil service, aud on all sides we see sore need of it. The loveliest face among the thous­ ands at White Sulpher Springs is said to be that of Miss Sallie Wood of, those of Mrs. Freye, wire o viati Minister, ller latest marvel of art in the way of a ball dress was a bronze green silk intermingled with a rich fabric of the color of dead leaves, garnished with needle work embroid­ ery in colored silk aud malines lace, diamond ornaments, skirt cu traine and waist cut low and square.

Are there any kind hearts in that day, love, Who will think of us, care for us then? jygyThe Prairie Farmer says: Wo have heretofore stated that we believe the grain seut forward to tide waters this season will return more net money to the farmer than the same grain sent forth next summer. Europe wants the grain now. Next season, full crops there may tell against us. Both Europe and the United States are pretty thoroughly drained of wheat. The present immense orop is providential, to supply the want. If a fair propor­ tion of this crop is sent forward to the seabord while navigation is open to compete with land transit freight will be low. and the farmer may then ^liold the surplus if freights should be advanced very considerably at the close of the navigation. An Kxtraordlnary Kdition to the .Bible. There lias been lately published an edition'of the Bible by subscription that bids fair to have a very large cir­ culation. It contains recent and very valuable accounts of late discoveries throwing light An the authenticity and value of the sacred hook. It also contains the celebrated commentorjT on the Bible and a eommontory -on each psalm by the Rev, John Brown, of Haddington; also tli* finest bible dic­ tionary. IllHstiated with 500 engrav­ ings.

Also, Cruden's concordance and dictionary , many valuable tables, indexes, anno­ tations, practical reflections, Black­ wood's aid to the Study of the Holy Bible. It also contains the pictorial history of the cities of the Bible, with full descriptions. Also embodies But- ler's fine work, "The Christian Denom­ inations of the World," compiled from their own publications and views from their own standpoint. Illustrated with pictures of the great preachers and tho great exponents of the different faiths. Also pictures of their first churches built iu America, and their most fa­ mous edifices of tFie present day, to­ gether with the belief of each sect, origin, etc. Also Rev. Chas. P.
