At i Catarrh of the Nasal Cavities, Acute, Chronic, and Ulcerative, Hay Fever, or Rose Catarrh, Catarrh of the Eye and Ear, and Catarrh of the Throat. SECCESSFULLI TREATED WITH SMIFORG'S RADICAL CURE. (CATARRH Is a disease of the mucous membrane. Tcmpfranicnts and constitutions vary its severity in mtlividuai cacs. Catarrh may arise from a coM or a succession of coliis, from sudden change of atmosphere, wearing wet clothing or exposure to inclement weather, and becoming thoroughly chilled when tlie digestive organs are in a morbid cr inactive condition, and the strength and vital forces exhausted.

The disease may arise from a ecrofulous condition of the blood, from Scarlet Measles, and Diphtheria, in which cases the eye and ear are generally involved and discharge quantities of matter. The discharges from the nose, the distinctive feature in all catarrhal cases from whatever cause they arise, may be thin and watery, and so acid as to cause redness and excoriation of the skin with which they come in contact, or thicK yellowish, emitting a iou: oaor, or clear and white like the white of an egg. There maybe an entire lack of secretion, the surfaces being dry and feverish, the face, front and upper part of the head feeling uncomfortable, and as if it was encircled by a tight, unyielding band. This latter phase is called Dry Catarrh. The free mattery discharges cause the passages to swell and become thickened, rendering breathing through the nose difficult or impossible, and the sufferer finds it necessary to breathe through the mouth, thereby permitting cold air to pass directly to ttie bronchial ui i unu luugt.

tne matter passing aown me throat creates a constant defire to hawk and er- fiectorato to throw It ofT; but when the membrane dry and feverish, instead of passing freely down from th-j nos i and throat, tho mucus becomes hard and forms Into scabs.

PRIVATE. In Florence stockade, we sometimes went without rations for 60 hours, and that too. when our regular allowance was but a Dint ot coarse corn meat a day, simply because some one had at tempted to tunnel out, or nau niaaen an axe or spade which he had spirited away from some negroes wno were working inside the stockade. Whenever any of the tools were missing the whole camp had to go without rations until they were found, an or tne pris oners turning out en masse to join in the search tor the missing articles. Those who were much reduced would generally die before rations would again be issued and the more able- bodied ones reuucea to mere siteieioiis.

Oh! that lingering, horrible death! How terrible to contemplate; how much more terrible to endure! In this stockade men were tortured in the most cruel manner. Posts were driven in the ground aud men tied to them ny ineir tnumos, tneir uacus bared and whipped until the blood would trickle down to the ground, and this cruel atrocity would last until the victim would taint away from excruciating agony. Others would be hung up by their thumbs and whipped, and it was a most piti able sight to see them writhe ana struggle, and hear them plead to be let down. On one occasion that 1 re member of. rebels were foiled in their attempt to punish a prisoner, They were taking him to the whipping post, when the prisoners gathered around in such crowds as to force them to release him, and he ran in among the ciowd and they could not find him again.

One morning it was announced that the sickest ot the prisoners snouia come down to the bridge that crossed the swamp, and they would issue some fresh beef to them. I thought that this applied to me, and I went down with the rest. We were formed into line and were to march across the bridge on the other side of which stood some men with the coveted beef. Some who were not quite as sick as they pretended, fell into line hoping that they, too, might receive a piece, isut tne rebels seemed to be watching, and when thev came up. they grabbed them and beat them over the head with clubs which they had in their hands.

Just for such little offences as this men would be tied ud and whipped. Almost every day rebel soldiers would come into the prison for the pur pose of purchasing brass buttons, and we did not hesitate very long in cut ting tuem from our clothing and trading them for tobacco, sweet pota toes, etc. Thev seemed to be as much pleased over a handful of brass but tons, as the savages were over brass rings, trinkets, Tlie weather continued to grow cold- der, and deaths became more numerous, I began to feel that my days were numbered. Each day I felt myself growing weaker, and 1 knew full well that unless I was very soon set at liberty, I should be released by that Great lower above, ana carried out ana plac ed by the side of the thousands who had preceded me on that long journey, I felt confident that I could not survive through the inter. Nearly every day rebels came inside the stockade to persuade the prisoners to take the oath of allegiance to the Southern Confederacy, but were nearly always repulsed with scorn.

They always made their base proposals to the most destitute and wretched of the inmates, and now and then they would find one who would comply, in order to save his life, but even they always made the mental reservation that they would escape to our own lines the very first opportunity. Any one tak ing the oath was immediately taken outside of the stockade, to escape the indignation of those who remained true to their country's cause. 1 would not have you judge them too harshly, but remember they were half-naked, freezing, starving, with death staring them in the face But I feel proud that I can say that there were comparatively few who so far forgot their honor as to save their lives on such base conditions. I have seen the rebels otter some of my poor dying comrades the chance to go outside of the stockade and be fed, cloth ed, and cared for if they would only sign their names to that oath and I have seen those same comrades clench their bony hands and raise their already death-glazed eyes to heaven and say: VNo! i will die and rot in here before I will do anything so dishonorable That's the kind of loyalty that saved this Union. And I have seen those same comrades spurned with the foot of a rebel, and told to die then.

I was never asked but once to take this oath, and if I looked as mad as I felt I must have been a terrible look ing object to that rebel, and if I bad had anything in my hand I certainly would have struck him to the earth. I do not remember what I said to him. but I do know that I never was so angry and I know I never had a more just cause for anger. In fact I considered it the deepest insult that could have been offered me. To turn traitor to my country, that blessed land for which my fathers died, that land for whose sake so many of mv noble com rades had given up their precious lives for whose sake thousands of heroic souls had starved to death and rotted in those foul prison pens of the South, dishonor mv country? turn my back on tne dear old nag? disgrace myseir in the eyes of all true citizens? bring shame and sorrow to all who loved me i Thank God, I had the reason and the strength to resist such a trying temp tation.

Now we often heard it said that one ought to keep silent on this sub ject forget it, and let by-aones be. by gones, liut how can we keep silent, when the memories of those long weeks and months, and to some of us, years or sunering, and cruelty continually come to our memories, and cause even vet, a sickening sensation of horror pervade our very souls Can we or- 'et our 13,000 brave comrades who per ished in that vile pen at Andersonville aione, from starvation and brutal treatment' JNeverl And when we cease to remember them and to tell the story of the manner in which they came to their death, then may we be forgotton when we have ended our weary pilgrimage, and like them car ried out to sleep in the vast cities of the dead, until we are summoned to appear before Him who will make all nings right.

To the Editor of The Beacon Tallmadge, Oct. 20. Messrs. Wy att Norton had the sympathy of the few pioneers ot that day in the burning ot their mill. Esq.

Hudson held a note agaiust JN orton tor ioo. His sympa thy extended to giving him the note, which was very tnauKtuiiy received by Mr. Norton. Norton was an enter prising and energetic man, and this great misfortune did not abate in the least his determination to still pursue a course to benefit himselt and his fel low men. He not feeling disposed to rebuild the mills on Tinker's Creek; John Stoddard and Alary Stoddard his wite, ot Uonway, Hampshire (Jouiity, conveyed the mill lot of 10 acres for $120 to Aaron it being in town 3, range 11, loo 27, (now kuown as Northampton), and on this 10 acres were the lalls ot Mud (Jreek.

In 1805 Mr. Norton built a saw mill and a grist mill, aud there are mills on the same site at this day. Mr. Norton's master mechanic and millwright, was a native of Connecticut by the name of eth Webster. He was one of the best of workmen in his day, but was addict ed to intemperance to that degree that two quarts of whisky were his daily al lowance.

Un the day the mills were raised Norton hired Webster not to drink any whisky until the work was done, and Webster abstained according to agreement. The extra pay he re ceived for his abstinence was three gal lons of whisky. After the mills were finished and running, he left North ampton in company with a negro, for Wooster they taking (I suppose) the road known in early days as tlie Chilli cothe road. There were no inhabitants on the road. A rude cabin had been built for shelter from storms and to protect those that were under the necessity of camping over night trotn wolves, ve.

Here Webster and his companion when they left Northampton, expected to spend the night. It was late in the Fall or early Winter and being cold and snow on the ground, and in order to be prepared for all emergencies each one had a gallon of whisky. When they arrived at the camping place Webster was too much under the in fluenceof liquor, to assist in preparing wood and other necessary things for their comfort through the night. After it became dark Webster be came very uneasv and restless, and showed strong symptoms that he had not full possession of his mental facul ties. He asked for some water from a spring close by the cabin.

His com pamon left the cabin tor the water and as he was returning to the hut with the water, Webster rushed ou and ran into the woods. The negro gave chase and followed him as long as ne could near anything of him. lie returned to the cabin, and as soon as daylight appeared, went out to look lor ebster, and after a long search about a mile from the cabin, he found Webster dead. It has been considered at a later day, a well defined case of delerium tremens. But to return to Aaron Norton.

He lived in Northampton until 1808, when having disposed of his mills in North ampton, he came into that part of Tallmadge since known as Middlebury. He bought of the Bruce Company "8 26-100 acres and also 4 aO-100 acres being part of lot No. 5 in tract 13. He went into company with Capt. Joseph Hart in building the first saw mill aud the hrst grist mm in jvuudieuury, in the Summer of 1808.

The location of their mill is a question that should be settled; why Hart Norton did not take advantage of the fall of water and build the first dam where it is to day has been a wonder to me. When mv father came into Tall madge in 1819, Wm. Hart and Judge Norton had built the mill, now a sewer pipe ma.nu factory, and coin uienced grinding abou the hrst ot January, 1820, If mv memory is correct the first dam was below the bridge and not far from the south end of the brick sewer pipe building. The mills were on or near the occupied by the stone building, which was built for a ware house at the head of navigation of the raain' canawl, a side cut of the Penn sylvania Ohio Canal now no- more, This stone building was used for manv years as a pottery and is still standing, and I would remark that the founda tions of both mills were logs, and the grist mill was a log building. On tlie end of the dam opposite the mills, was the cloth-nressin shop of John S.

and Samuel Preston which was built by Capt. Hart and Norton in 181 and afterward occupied by Cyrus Hard, 1 leel under very great obligations to Alessrs. Alruon and Charles Brown, Avery spicer, Tal mon Beardslev, D. A. -At and Mrs Eliza (Hart) Kent, who have given me much valuable information concerning the Norton lainily, and other things historical; and if I am mistaken in the location of the mills, I hope none will hesitate to correct anything that need corrections in any article that 1 may write, and would bethanktui, tor 1 de sire to be truthful, We can in truth say, that the mills were poor affairs in comparison with the mills of the present dav.

That the mills were of great benefit to the set tlers in the immediate vicinity is cer tain, liut when we take into consid eration that the early settlers of Med na County, when all mills were pro pelled by water, were dependent upon Hart iK JNorton mill, we can little re alize what those hardy pioneers had to endure in a time ot drouth. When Portage County was organiz ed, June 9. 180S, by act of the Legisla ture, that formed the county of Por tage, the same Legislature appointed three Associate judges ot the Court ot Common Pleas, under the Constitution adopted in 1802. The associate judges were, Wm. wetmore, or stow; Aaron Norton, of Tallmadge; and Amzi At water, ot Mantua.

They held their of fices seven years, and carried their titles to their graves. TO BE CONTINUED. C. C. Bronson.

A visit to the new Clarendon Hotel in South Akron, which has only re cently been ouened. shows it to be one of the best furnished and appointed houses in the city. Tlie office is on tne st-i'onii floor, the first beinsr taken with store rooms.

This room is at the hnti nt thH stairs on the lett and pre Hants si verv neat aouearance. A rnno armitirl f.hft room. (illUWUlilK Ll.l.. and the wall is papered very attractively. The office opens on the balcony in front.

Another door leads into the nmlor.A riueiv furnished room ith dark carpet and furniture. It presents si verv hiiudsome apearance. On the northeast corner is the dining room, a long, airy and well-lighted apartment with space for five tables. Back of the office across the hall are wash rooms and water closets. The former with two tine large bath rooms with ample fa cilities for hot and cold water and shower baths gives the Clarendon the lmesC accomodations in mis line or.

anv hotel in the city. On the third floor are tvo large rooms about 18x30 feet in size, both opening on a front balcony, and finely uFuished, includ ing sofas, rocking chairs, marble top tables, making them very desirable rooms. The other rooms are also ui ifood size being about 12x20, and all fitted out with entirely new furniture. There are 30 rooms in the house and all except two of them have clotn presses 5x8 feet adjoining. The rooms are furnished with inside blinds, are connected with the offices by alarm bell and have very fine opportunities for ventilation, and altogether are elegant rooms for a notel or tnis pretension An easy stair-case witn very ornamental banister conducts one to the top of the building, and at the head each flight on the west side of the building are hand some stained glass windows.

The commodious halls are a great beauty of this hotel, ootn running nearly the en tire width of the building, on one floor beings feet wide and tlie upper 12 feet Business has been quite good this week and when Mr. liedeuian gets his hacks running to tlie depot, will steadily im prove. He sets quite a good table. Mr. Schumacher deserves great credit for adding a good hotel to South Akron as well as a building of considerable arch itectural pretensions.

The Pre-Historic Pottery of the New World. The specimens of American pottery as they may be studied in such collec tions its those of the Smithsonian Institution at Washington, and the Pea-body Museum at Harvard, are divisible into great and easily distinguishable classes. There are, lii st, the water ves- seis aud domestic utensils, such as jars and pots, which have been exhumed on the coast settlements. I here, are, sec ondly, the vases, many ot which an decorated with human faces in relief, which come from Cuzcoand LakeTitis- caca. A third division might be form nd of the vessels modeled after the hu man head, in some of which are pre served wonderfully fine tvpes of the heads and faces that attracted the pot ter.

Lpon the first of these classes the water vessels of the Chimus and inhabitants of the towns upon the coast, the greatest amount of ingenui ty seems to have been lavished. They supply a comprehensive and curious index to Peruvian customs. The typical shape is a rotund jar with an arching hollow handle, and spout projecting upward from the middle of the arch. The handle and spout are of identically the same pat tern in many specimens where the bo dy of the vessels is never seen twice alike. In devising the shape of the latter, the Peruvians followed a rule which is discovered in operation in ev ery country witn any claim to the pos session of aa original art.

Thev found models in nature, and in the appliances and usages of their every-day lite, one ot their jars thus represents a mu sician, another, a primitive boat: and where the double body is brought into requisition, or where a short neck takes the place or tne siphon handle, a huu dred instances are supplied of au ao peal for suggestions to the familiar sur roundings of the potter. Thus, in one case, the two sections of the body con sist oi a stag and doe; in another, the orince or one oi twin bottles is occu pied by a bird; in a third, one com partment is modeled after the human ngure; in a lourth, the jar is single. ana represents the human head and bust, the orifice being in the top of the head. A like rule was followed in designs engraved in paste, one being a rude and inartistic semblauceot a human face, andanoth er consisting of a bird. There are also painted representations of birds, serpents and double-headed snakes, aud these are round mingled with geometrical desigus, such as diamondsarrang- ed in vertical bands and other patterns, wnicn recall tne eany enorts ot the Greeks before their emancipation from Jt-na3iiician ana Assyrian influences.

The art of Peru, broadly be said to have sought expression in three distinct forms, which are met with in the ceramic art of every country that passed the most primitive stage, namely, the imitation of natural objects by the modeler, who follows the actual form, and the same imitation by means of graved outlines and colored representations. November Atlantic. The Celluloid Marvel. A capital example of those numerous industrial revolutions of which we have spoken, and which are peculiarly characteristic of America, is furnished by the new artitical celluloid. Although it is invented nine or ten years ago (by two brothers named Hyatt), its perfect manufacture has been regularly in progress for only about five years, and is considered to be still in its infancy, yet immense quantities of the substance are produced; it is converted into a wonderful variety of forms, and new modes for applying it are discovered almost daily.

This composition of tissue paper, camphor, and certain chemicals is already used for billiard balls, combs, backs of brushes, hand mirrors and other toilet articles, whips, canes and umbrella handles, every kind of harness, knives and forks, pencil cases, jewelry of all kinds, pocketbooks, mouth-pieces of pipes, cigar-holders, music instruments, doll heads, porcelain imitatious, hat bands, neckties, optical goods, shoe tips, and insoles, thimbles, emery wheels, shirt cuffs, collars, etc. Its use as a substitute for ivory has already exercised a worldwide effect upon the ivory industry, the falling off in the demand having been felt in the remotest regions of Africa.
