Mr. Qrinlinton, whoa# service with the English forces in the Crimea was distinguished and brilliant, is sixty-three years of age, and has been for many years identified with the industries and the development of Ceylon. This remote and enterprising island la making very liberal preparations for an extensive display at Chicago, and it ia certain to be one of the most attractive and interesting of the whole fair. Mr. (irinlinton will remain in this country until July, completing his arrangements, ami will then leave for Ceylon, to return early in 189H with a stuff of twenty native assistants. These, besides acting ;*> attendants, will give exhibitions of native amusements, guinea and ceremonies.

C. Borland returned borne this week from visiting ber son E. H. Borland, u dentist in 8011th Oil City. Sirs. Borland the flood *nii lire there on June 0. She wan looking at the river from her son's residence opposite the mouth of Oil Creek, and saw the debris floating out of tho creek and called the Dr.'s attention to it, wl.o said that he bad never seen it look liko that. Among other things a baby in a cradle floated by, but it is said that It was rescued. When the explosion at the bridge occurred they ran for their lives. Dr. Borland weighs over two hundred aud his mother is a pretty large lady, but his wife could run like a fawn. They knew that they were more oil tanks not far distant that might explode, and they diil not wait to take any valuables with them. The Dr. held his wife hack and waited for his mother until they reached a place of safety. They did not lose anything except by having customers who were among the sufferers. If the people had all obeyed the police and kept away from the bridge and other places of danger, there would hnve been few lives lost. '•It never rains but it pours." This is often true in social, political and spiritual, n* well as in natural affairs, and keep us con. plaining about gettiug too much of a good thing at one time. Last week on*. of these pouring showers passed here and having a liberal complement of wind and hail, damaged the growing crops on a few farms in Knox township.

Gleiu were in Puuxsutawney the past week. Arthur Lewis, of l'orter, Pa., was in this place Saturday. Pigeon flying is more than a fancy and lias been made a useful means of communication, especially In time* of war. Their utility as agents in war was first demonstrated during the Franco-Prussian campaign of lfTO and 187]. Sixty-four balloons belonging to the French crossed the Prussian lines carrying 800 pigeons; of that number :!02 were afterward sent back to Paris, and despite the efforts of the enemy to destroy the aerial messenger ninetyeight returned to their cotes, seventylive of them carrying microscopic messages. These pigeons conveyed into the French capital lf>0,000 official dispatches and 1,(too,000 private ones, reduced by the photo-mierographlc process. Germany, Italy and other powers have since established military dovecotes and take great interest in the breeding. The speed record at present is 325 miles in 1520 minutes. Among the large number of suggestions as to the show, some fanciers suggest that messenger lofts Imj established on the exposition grounds and at outlying points; that birds tie sent out with messages at regular hours; these messages to lie on souvenir paper and intended as mementos. The lofts to have birds for hire; also birds for use from inaccessible points, such as by parties out on the lake desiring some rapid communication with the land. l'rlze. to Content for ■ One of the interesting features of the livestock exhibit at the fair will be the liberation of large numbers of homing pigeons, exhibited by breeders from all parts of the country, llreeders of these pigeons are anxious for a contest at the fair. George W. Cliilds, of Philadelphia, is interested in the contests, and has offered a prize, under certain conditions, which will encourage the training of birds for the fair. Many other prizes hare been promised. -Mammoth s Shoe Remember the Place We are still trying to <lo our | *rt, in the clothing world. Of course we ilo not «-x|>wt to clothe everybody.

Til OritMil art Ptpilir Dm Price CMMer, CLAYTON NORTH, Ke«p rascality in your own Una of business. Whenever you can point to one instance of my doing wrong then I am ready to suffer the consequences, but not of other's wrong doing in the same business, and , if any one will call my attention and i beyond doubt that any agent of mine of that kind, I wUIdisr. Yours respectfully, C. Cmabm. I have no (ears or slmme of wy record or its investigation. I invented this fence myself, spent time and money in getting it up and getting it patented. It is mine just as much a* your horse or cow is yours. I am just as clearly entitled to sell it for profit, aa your are to sell them for profit, as long as I sell my fence on its just merits without any misrepresentations, schemes or crookedness, my business is just as honest and honorable aa yours. I can no more help what others, such as Martindale, have done and are doing, than you can. We are financially responsible for what we do or say. We make these propositions: stand ready to refund the money paid us tor any farm l ight or fence built according to Instructions if, after a thorough trial, it is not perfectly satisfactory. AIsj to re" fund the money to any one buying a township or county of us. if after a fair trial and a reasonable amount of energy, lie does not make not only a fair profit but a very remunerative profit for his time aud investment. We will Also make this offer: If the parties dealing or having dealt with us have any doubt of us or our honorable nud fair dealing with them in any and all cases, if they will call a meeting among themselves nnd appoint one among their number ia whom they have implicit confidence, 1 will pay his expenses from the time he leaves home until he returns. He may start at the liegiuning and traco my career until the present day, and if he finds that in any case I have ever knowingly done anything crooked or revenged any man, they are at liberty to publish me in any or all newspapers they see fit. I will refund any and all money paid me and leave the country. As to Mortiudale's report that I am a foreigner, will answer him by saying I was born at Olivesburg. Ohio, raised from six years old at Decateur, Adams couuty, Indiana and at Ft. Wayne, Indiana, lived the last five years in Toronto, Cunada, t he last year at Lapeer, Michigan, nud the last six months at my present situation, Delphoi), Ohio. To any citi/.eu of either place I am neither afraid 01* ahamed, but happy to refer you. My feuce and patent has stood all the crucial tests, and has never failed to come off victorious iu all competitions with other patent fences. We stand ready to defend it before the law, before the |>cople and before competitors. aud no mercy this brute is travelling spending bis money on other women, his wife is compelled to take in washing to support herself nud family. Poverty under certain circumstances is uo disgrace, but under such circumstances as these a man deserves the cat o' nine tails And more it is currently reported that while , i-cjital.y tucking las tail between his legs au3 Mieakirg away to howl again as soon os Vie thinks he is at a safe distance. Mr. Martiodale fails to tell you we have three patents covering our fence that it is a combination patent issued in serial form. That a patent for a level age to fasten rails to a stake covers all forms of leverage or that having covered all the main points on an invention. That the patent law shows a slight departure from the specifications iu the construction as long as you do not interfere with the patented rights of any one else. We have the original and only pateut for putting rails on stakes with a leverage, and therefore do not and cannot interfere with the patented rights of any one. Mr. Martindr.le still following the style of the Cayote species to snarl and then run, tries to snap at my heels by starting the report that I um a foreigner, simply because 1 happened to bo a resident of Toronto, Canada, when I made application for my U. 8. Patent. ] have taken the trouble to thoroughly investigate Mr. Martindale morally and financially. ;.ud find hiiu to be r, i»«*upcr with nuiJi.r money nor reputation, that it would siuipW be throwing time and money away to enter *»uit against him or it would have been done long ago. If the people of this country want to patronise and support a puppy traveling over the country, uiuking love to respectable women, telling them he is a widower, that his wife died six years ago with the consumption, when the facts are as any one can find out, he has a wife and family living in Hartford City, Indiana. Since arriving in Punxsutawney I have learned that this man, or apology of a man, Martinda'.e, has been industriously circulating reports in this and adjoining counties that my patent was no good—not built according to the specifications. &c., &c. If the people of Pennsylvania knew Mr. Martindale as he is. and as he is known in other localities, among them bis home. Hartford City, Indiana, it would be entirely unnecessary to answer his false statements pt all. The more he might say about us and our fence, the better it would lie for us. Mr. Martindale knows ho is telling cowc.rd'.y, contemptible black lies when he mokes these statements to you. If he knows anyanything about patents at all and he claims he does, (but his actual acknowledge could be contained iu a peanut shell.) If ho is n man and has one atom of manliness iu his nature, why don't he come out like a man and give us ;> manly and honorable tight on the merits of the two But uo, he V- -1* 1 to the cowardly coyote 'tsiRtTvS lit" t u,„. r » species by sneaking around one trr aiu»0 ' and howling, and trying to injure us by false statements.
