WE wish to impress upon the minds of our correspondents the importance of plainew in writiug proper names. as It is a source of annoyance to com­ positors, -and often means another from whom the writer intended to to censure praise. WORK is honorable, and no one should be ashamed to do any labor that is honestt.

AS usual, probably this notice will be overlooked oy our granger friends, un­ til one or two come to the front and report how they have been swindled bytljAse sharpers. • IT will be well for us all. to heed these sensible words from an exchange: "The seeds of fever are prevalent, more prevalent during the month ot August, where sewers breathe out their poisons, and stale fruits and veg­ etables are taken into the stomach. Perhaps at 110 time in the year - is closer attention to diet required. It is of the highest importance to avoid all food willed is in any degree stale, and to shun noxious vapors as deadly poisons." THE Waukegan Patriot says: "Tin many friends of Miss Emilie Gavi will regret to learn that four years o almost uninterrupted professioiral la. bors have so seriously impaired he health that her phj'sicinns strongly recommend a winter of complete rest to be passed at some point in the South.

III. WE were SOITV to lenrn ol the death of the only child of Hart Wolaver. of Dundee, which occurred on Wednesday, morning of last week. Mr. and Mrs. Wolaver have the sympathy of their friends in this section. THE latest advice from Freeman Going, who we announced last week as being dangerously sick at Cincinnati, are that he Is slowly failing, and no hopes are entertained of his recovery. His death may be looked for at any time. CHICKEN hunting commenced on Tuesday, and now there is firing all along the line. We propose to keep from behind some fellows we saw go­ ing out with guns on their shoulders. We think there is more danger in the rear than iu front. Nothing personal meant. • ^ ATTENTION IS called to the new ad- ertisement of Fitzsimmons & Evan- son, to be found in another column. They have commenced their annual clearing out sale, and those in search of bargains should not fail to. call and examine their goods and learn pricc. This great slaughter of goods will last only thirty days and buyers will do well to avail themselves of the rare bargains offered. THE Chicago Herald gets oft the fol­ lowing:* "A sleeper is one w^ho sleeps. A sleeper is ths*t in which the sleeper sleeps. A sleeper is that 011 which the sleeper which the sleeper which carries the sleeper while he sleeps runs* Therefore while the sleeper sleeps on the 6leeper the sleeper carries the sleeper over the sleeper under the sleeper until the sleeper which carries the sleeper jumps oft the sleeper and wakes the sleeper in the sleeper by striking the sleeper under the sleeper, and there is no sleeper iu the sleeper oiiUie sleeper.

Buckeye Publisluny Co., Minntapolis, Minn. GENTLEMEN: Some'time'since I had occasion to speak in terms of great praise of "Practical Housekeeping." and am happy to be able to say hon­ estly, th*t the more I have seen of It and used it. the more 1 feel disposed to recommend It to all^-especially to the young housekeeper--as one of the most thorough in all departments and one of the most reliable domestic guides I have seen. The rules for practical la­ bor are concise, clear and sensible, and while giving some of the best of re­ cipe^ there are among them very few that tend toward extravagance. A vein of good, strong, common sense, noticeable in the recipes, rules and di­ rections is evidence that our New Eng­ land Yankee housekeepers ajid Buck­ eye matrons are very near of kin. Having been familiar with boti., we are happy to claim the relationship. The fact that the present edition of your most excellent manual brings it up to the one hundred and twentieth thousand, is alone ample testimony to the true value of the work. The two hundred and six additional pages I find full of very villuable^matter, and I re­ peat what I said some years ago, that need not fear td trust "Practical Housekeeping." MRS. "a w. BEECHES.
