Tlii. Is a reliablo Home firm and all who nro In need of good seeds cannot do 'bettor than address them at.No. 90 High whoro their orders will rccclvts prompt attention. The Ohio Penitentiary tinder Republican management is losing at tho rate of $50,000 a year, and it looks as though it might reach $100 000 during tho coming twelve months. When, In consequenco of a change of system and necessary repairs nnd buildings it run behind about half that much under a Democratic administration, Gov.

For-aker charged that wholesale stealing was going on. What has ho to say now Lancaster Eagle, If General Hurst, who appears to bo traveling over tho Stato preaching temperanco and incidentally attending his duties as Food Commissioner, could devise and enforce some plan of prohibit ing tho manufacture and salo of lirty, strong and unwholesome "genuine would bo entitled to a veto of thanks and a brass monument. Dog-log whisky as balm to tho stomacho compared with a largo per cent, of tho stuft sold as butter. Me. Arthur Devi.

Let the present Republican Legislature increase tho Governor's salary to year, and pass a bill appropriating a certain amount to erect a suitablo mansion for tho occupancy of tho Chief Exooutivo and his family. Woostrr Jtep. Wheat about 80 cents a bushel; no appropriation for the Stato Board of Agriculture to properly flx their fairgrounds! Oh, yes, this would be a good time to raise salary of tho Governor to $10,000 a year and appropriate a sum of money to build nn elegant Governor's mansion. Wayne Co, Dem. A bill passed tho U.

S. Scnato a fow days since by an almost unanimous vote Van Wyck alone voting no under tho provisions of which Ohio, it is stated, will obtain a refund of about a million and a halfflf money from tho general government. The bill was advocated and explained bp Senator Sherman, who smid it referred to a tax of twenty millions imposed during tho war upon all the States North and South. To thoso NorUiern States which paid it promptly a discount of 15 per cent, had been allowed. But some few of the States did not pay promptly, and since tho war some of it had been collected from some of tho Southern States.

(Tho bill directs tho Secretary of tho Treasary to credit each Stato and Territory and to tho District of Columbia, a sum equal to all the collections made from them under the direct tax. It remits and relinquishes all the tax still due, and it appropriates a sufllciont amount to reimburse tho States for all moneys found due to them under the provisions of this act to bo paid to respective Governors; provided, that where tho taxes have been collected from citizens, either directly or by salo of property, tho amount shall bo hold in trust for them or their legal representatives by their respectivo States.

Tho natural gas question Booms to be un all absorbing topic of conversation In thts city nt present, and tho gas well, which but a fow weeks ago was almost forgotten, is now vlsKed daily by hundreds of curiosity seekers.

Since tho contractors struck tho small gas well tho drill has passed through a strata of oil or gas shale and also through a red rock and is again in tho oil shale. On Saturday tho end of tho cnblo was reached. A now supply has been ordered, but yms delayed and work has been suspended -sinco Saturday Work will bo resumed today or to-morrow. A steady flow of gas from tho well continues and is being utlliz-by the contractor. There, is moro than ('enough to run the engine, nnd affords a saving in fuel, to, the contractor of four dollars a day.

On Monday a pipe was placed outsldo and tho gas ignited at tho top of tho pipe. It continued to burn until Tuesday noon when tho storm blow the llnmo out and tho gas was shut off. It has sinco been relighted aud is now burning brilliantly. Tho indications continuo good and the prospect of striking a largo well is very flattering. Thcro is no longer any doubt about tho existence of gas in the vicinity.

A number of persons from Columbus, Logan, Marietta, Zanesvillo and other points visited tho well this week. Tho indications aro precisely the some as aro usually developed in the Pennsylvania oil and gas region. Lancaster Eagle. Goro and Its Surroundings! The bockof plats, of towns of this County has been decorated sinco the year 1871 by two villages bearing the designations of Burgessville and Hamlin. Tho former being laid out by Honson Burgess, Jan.

4 1871 and the latter by Georgo F. Hamlin as superintendent of tho Straitsville and Monday Creek Coal Mining Co. Burgessville lying on tho South side of the Straitsville and Monday Creek branch of tho C. H. T.

Ry, containing 9J A. and Hamlin on tho opposite side of tho road containing 17acros.Both of theso villages aro tho outgrowth of tho lifo and enterprise which sprung into being in this region on tho building of tho railroad and now after fifteen years of oxlstenco is ono of the most thriving stations on tho road in a business poiut of view and has a population of about 000. Within a few months aftor tho laying out of theso villages a post-office was established which took the name of Goro and in time both villages camo to be designated by tho same name as the post-office. About this timo the Straitsville and M. C.

C. M.Co. sold its entire interest to tho Thomas Iron Co which in turn merged with tho present owners known as the Columbus Hocking Coal Iron Co. Tho Thomas Iron Co built a blast furnace at this place which has been in almost constant operation, stop-ing only for repairs, sinco its construction, and under itsldifforent managers has been ono of tho most successful of the many furnaces of this region. This furnace is tho great sourco of Avcalth and business of tho place, and gives constant and lucrative employment to nbout one hundred men, of which about thirty-seven aro coal miners, nearly the same number aro on-gaged at the furnace, tho remainder being oro minors, haulers, etc.

Mr. Henson Burgess tho original proprietor still lives at tho place halo and hearty, but not so supple as in tho days of "Auld Lang Syne." ho was a. resident of this locality long before tho screech of tho lo-comotivo broke its rural pcaco or tho light of tho furnaco turned night into day. Beginning lifo as the quiet country gentleman ho has lived to see tho rugged hills robbed of their mineral wealth and tho country solltudo transformed to tho bustle of active life. Mr.

James Ferguson tho present Iron Master or Furnaco manager is a quiet accomplished gentleman and ono of tho most intelligent furnaco monlt has ever been our pleasure to convorso with. Ho docs not boliovo in or trust to luck, but to energy nnd watchfulness, Ho has learned his furnaco and manages It as tho expert workmen docs his tool, and has mado tho excellent record of keeping his furnaco working almost continually for olghtoon months. Tho workmon in and about tho works and mines nro contented, busy and prosperous. Tho village contains two general stores, ono grocery and ono saloon, oxcollont graded church and a Lodgo of tho I. and wears a gen-oral air of comfort.

Tho New Flouring Mill, The now mill of Messrs Koyncs fcWellmau is rapidly approaching completion uud will be whoii fin. Jfihed ono of tho best equipped and finest mills Jn Southeastern All tho machinery Is" of tho lii'tost and most Improved innko nnd will bo arranged in such manner that the largest and best results will bo obtained with tho least manual labor. In tho basement is located tho conveyors for whont and largo bin for storage. Hero too Is located tho lino shaft which runs tho rolls on tho floor nbovo, and tho driving, pully which is connected by a broad bole with all tho lino shafts of each story. On tho next floor, or iho flrst floor proper, wo found nlno sets of double floor rolls of different grades, ono improved corn, nnd ono improved or buckwheat burr, four pairs of scales nnd two flour pnekers.

On tho noxt or second floor aro a smut machine, nlno conveyers' for tho flour nnd wheat in process of grinding nnd supply or stock bin from which tho rolls Is fed and bins for storing corn, buckwheat, etc. This floor spneo will bo utilized for tho storage of feed.

Tho grain nnd flour, in Its various stages of manufacture, Is carried to every part of tho complicated machinery by thirty-two elevators extending from tho basement to tho roof.

We wlil not undertake to glvo our rcadors an Idea of how all this Immense amountof machinery-Is utilizedin converting wheat into flour; but for full particulars will refer them to tho gentlemanly proprietors. It is tho intention to builda stock house and an elevator on tho south sldo of tho mill building, which will havo a capacity of 25,000 bu. which will bo connectod -with tho mill by a conveyer acting from tho bottom of tho elevator to another In tho mill by which tho grain, will bo carried aloft and passed through tho various scouring processes aftor which it will bo taken back to tlio. stock houso for storage until needed for grinding When the grain for grinding is needed from the stock honse, it will bo furnished by a conveyor connecting tho storage rooms with tho basement of the mill. No manual labor will bo needed in hnndling tho grain except in unloading cars and wagons, after whichiall will bo done by machinery, and wo aro.

informed that eight or nine men will be able to ranko and pack from 175 to 200 barrels of flour in twenty four hours. Council Mooting February, 8th. 1887. Members all present.
