We are sorry to chronicle the fact that the 
extensive works of the Marvin Safe Co., of 
this city, were destroyed by fire on the morn¬ 
ing of Feb. 20. which will entail heavy loss 
and temporary stoppage of the works. It is 
but a short time since we exchanged a Her¬ 
ring safe for one of this company’s latest im¬ 
proved, as we regarded it as standing at the 
head.., A corn cob pipe factory at Washington. 
Mo., employs fifty men .The Commis¬ 
sioner of Education places the number of 
medical students in this country in 1S73 at 
8.6SI: in 1883 we had 15,151. The medical 
schools during this period increased from 94 
to 134. Too many doctors, by far, for their 
own prosperity and the health of the public.. 
.. The Kansas House of Representatives 
has four girls among its pages and its docket 
clerk is a woman .....This Winter has 
been one of destructive severity to feathered 
game in Illinois. Many prairie chickens have 
been frozen to death, and quails have been 
almost exterminated.The yearly pro¬ 
duct of American forests exceeds in value 
bat of all the iron, steel and coal combined.. 
.During the Exposition iu New Orleans 
forty gambling houses, where banking games 
are run, keep open night and day. Gamblers 
have assembled therefrom all over the Union, 
and, with the Louisiana Lottery and other 
well known attractions. New Orleans is, for 
the time beiDg. the wickedest city in the Union. 
....Montreal loses a prominent merchant in 
the death of Thomas Ramp, He was president 
of the Corn Exchange, and at one time was 
the head o f the Harbor Com mission .... Mr. 
Randall’s left leg is so swollen and stiff with 
inflammatory rheumatism that he cannot 
bear his weight upon "it. Speaker Carlisle is 
said to be threatened with Bright’s disease. 
.The Hocking Valley strike, which began 
in April, is ended. Announcements were made 
Suuda 3 '"that the commissary had given out. 
that aid was no longer coming in, and advis¬ 
ing the men to get work. Many of the men 
went in last week in anticipation of a climax. 
....The excessive snows and consequent snow 
blockades on the Western railroads have 
caused a ”coal famine' 1 in many places; ma¬ 
terial for fires have been very scanty, and 
much suffering has resulted among the poor, 
even in so large a place as Chicago. In some 
small country places the distress has been ex¬ 
ceedingly severe, especially in the extreme 
Northwest. All over the West the Win¬ 
ter has been very rigorous indeed, with unu¬ 
sually heavy snows.andintensely cold weather. 
.The greatest loss of mail matter on re¬ 
cord was caused on Friday by the burning of 
the mail train on the Virginia Midland Rail¬ 
road, at Four Mile Run. Five train hands 
were killed, and a vast amount ot Southern 
mail matter was burned, including valuables 
in letters and registered letters. Mishap due 
to collision of mail and freight trains. 
The bill to put Geu. Grant on tbe “retired’ 1 
list has been defeated iu the House, as there 
was .not quite a two-tbird majority in its 
favor A few Republicans combined with a 
lot of disgruntled Democrats to bring about 
this re?ult. Ex-Speaker Randall, of Pennsyl¬ 
vania, is resolved to use eveiy effort to secure 
the passage of a measure to accomplish tbe 
desired end. The Legislature of New York, 
with only a single dissenting voice, has voted 
to urge the Empire State Congressmen to sup¬ 
port the measure. Public, opinion very de¬ 
cidedly favors it. 
AGRICULTURAL NEWS. 
Saturday. February 11. 
There are 1,000.000 head of cattle in the 
Cherokee section of the Indian Territory. 
Schuyler, Neb., boasts of a hog weighing 965 
pounds, and claims that it is tbe largest re¬ 
ported in the State.Among tbe exports 
from New York last week were 1,115 live cat¬ 
tle, 100 live sheep, 7,100 quarters of beef and 
1,500 carcasses of mutton .Tbe slaugh¬ 
tering of sheep in the Middle and Western 
Slates has been so extensive as to flood the 
market with pulled wool, causing a low range 
of prices.The Canadian authorities have 
seized some valuable breeding cattle at Mon¬ 
treal. shipped from tbe United States in de¬ 
fiance of the order prohibiting importations 
from this country.The United States 
Commissioner uf Agriculture says that while 
in some of the States the pure bred and high- 
grade cattle are but eigot per cent, of the 
whole, in Ohio and Kentucky they are 40 per 
cent., in Illinois 35 percent, and Massachu¬ 
setts 32 per cent, of the whole number ... 
The number of live cattle landed at Glasgow 
from the United States for 1884 was 17.784, 
and for 1883.17,783. The Canadian shipments 
to that port were, for 1884. 21.916, and for 
1883. 18.118. In 1882 the number of cattle 
landed at Glasgow from the States was only 
5,817 .The average weight of the hogs 
at Chicago last month was 25S pounds. The 
average for January, 1884. was 242 pounds; 
for 1S83, 263 poands; for 18S2. 252 pounds; for 
1881, 253 pouuds; for 1SS0, 265 pounds. The 
lightest average weight ot hogs for any month 
within the last 10 years was for March, 1884, 
when it was 204 pounds. The heaviest aver¬ 
age was for January, 1876, when it reached 
281 pounds .It is expected that 500,000 
sheep will be shipped to England from New 
Zealand the coming year. By some it is 
claimed that the animals cau be grown there 
one-tbird cheaper than in this country. 
...The Northwestern Dairymen’s Association 
that was to convene at Algona, Iowa, on Feb. 
17, is postponed to March 10, and will have a 
four days’ session, and a grand time is antici¬ 
pated.

Care for the Children 
Children feel the debility of the changing sea¬ 
sons, even more than adults, and they become 
cross, peevish and uncontrollable. The blood 
should be clcuuscd and the system invigorated 
by tho use of Hood's Sarsaparilla. Give it a trial. 
•' Last spring my two children were vaccinated. 
Soon after, they broke all out with running sores, 
so dreadful I thought I should lose them. Hood’s 
Strsaparilla cured them completely, and they 
have been healthy ever since. 1 do feel that 
lb> ill's .Sarsaparilla saved my children to me.” 
M s. C. L. Thompson, West Warren, Maas.

Sold l>y all druggists. $1; six for 88, Made
