PERSONALS. 
Right Rev. Samuel S. Harris, bisbop of 
the Protestant Episcopal diocese of Michigan, 
who was recently stricken with apoplexy 
while preaching in Winchester Cathedral, 
England, died Monday night 
Robert B. Roosevelt, of this city, United 
States Minister to the Netherlands, was pri¬ 
vately married in England on Saturday to 
Mrs. Marion T. Fortescue. Mr. Roosevelt is 
a celebrated sportsman, ranchman and politi¬ 
cian. 
Six hundred men are said to be engaged in 
building a palace for President Rockefeller, 
of the Standard Oil Company, at Tarrytown, 
on the Hudson. The house will have over fifty 
rooms, and there will be a stable with stalls for 
a hundred horses. 
Miss M. F. Austin and Miss L. H. Hatch, 
ex school t( achers, are proprietors, managers 
and workers of the celebrated Hedgerow Vine¬ 
yard, at Fresno, California. Miss Austin is 
styled the “pioneer raisin maker of Califor¬ 
nia,” and raisins of her brand are considered 
the best made. 
Captain P. F. Robb, Commissioner of 
Agriculture for Alabama, together with 13 
representative men of the State, is making a 
trip through the Northwest, accompanied with 
a car fitted up with specimens of Alabama 
products for exhibition. The object of the 
exhibition is to advertise Alabama’s re¬ 
sources and interest imigration. 
Mrs. Langtry has started for her 5,000-acre 
lanch in California. Of this areal,500 acres 
are under wheat, and the rest is composed of 
vineyards and cattle pastures. Her brother is 
now managing it. The actress says she will 
not be married to Gebhard this year as she is 
not yet divorced from her first husband. 
Mr. Charles A. Dana began his journal¬ 
istic career as editor of a literary weekly, of 
which 500 copies were worked off on a hand- 
press in the course of a day. There is a con¬ 
trast between this old-fashioned printing and 
the modern presses used in the Sun office, 
which run off an edition at the rate of “a 
mile a minute.” 
Miss Alice B. Farley, of Port Hudson, 
Louisiana, is the sole proprietor and business 
manager of a large cotton plantation. She is 
a little woman and has not a very great 
amount of physical strength. Miss Farley, 
who is a New-Yorker, was left an orphan and 
found herself in possession of a large property 
in the South. She was fond of out-door life, 
and she wanted mental distraction, so she 
went at farming in earnest, and she has made 
a success of it. 
George W. Rust, for many years a promi¬ 
nent figure in Chicago journalism, is dead. 
Ho was at one time financial editor of the 
Times, and was the founder, and for several 
years the publisher, of the National Live- 
Stock Journal, of Chicago, but in 1876 left 
Chicago on account of the condition of his 
lungs, taking up his residence at Boulder, Col. 
Since then his journalistic work has been 
confined to the Breeder’s Gazette of that city, 
with which he retained a connection up to 
his death. 
Seth Green, the well known fish culturist, 
died at his home at Rochester, N. Y., Monday, 
August 20. He was born on his father’s farm 
near Rochester m 1817, so that he was 71 at 
his death. His first experiment in artificial 
fish hatching was made in 1864 at Caledonia 
Creek, 10 miles from Rochester, with salmon 
roe. He next hatched brook trout, and 18 to 
20 other genera. At various times he stocked 
the Hudson, Susquehanna, Potomac, Savan¬ 
nah and various other rivers with young 
fry, and was the originator of artificial fish 
culture. 
CATALOGUES, ETC., RECEIVED. 
Ellwanger & Barry, Rochester, N. Y., 
—Catalogues of small fruits of all kinds— 
grapes, including the promising Mills; fruit and 
ornamental trees and Shrubs, in great variety. 
Gale Plows. —Catalogue from the Gale 
M’f’g Co. Albion, Michigan. This is an ele¬ 
gant pamphlet, crisp and well written. Its 
object is to show the superiority of the Gale 
plow and it is a great success if clearness of 
descr iption and force of statement count for 
what they are worth. The man who cannot 
tell, alter studying this pamphlet, what the 
Gale plow is good for is m a bad way. 
Home-Mixing of Fertilizers.— This is a 
pamphlet sent out by Lucien Sanderson, 
Long Wharf, New Haven, Conn. This is an 
argument in favor of home-mixed fertilizers. 
If you want to know how strong a case can 
be made out for this practice, read this pam¬ 
phlet. 
TOE BUBAL WEW"Y@RSCfR. 
SEPT i 
Aspinwall Potato Planter.— We learn 
from the manufacturers of this excellent im¬ 
plement, that after four years of litigation with 
another party who claimed the right of mak¬ 
ing an improved Aspinwall planter, amicable 
arrangements have been made by which the 
Aspinwall M’f’g Co., will have the sole right 
to make this machine. 
The Idle Hour. —This is the name of a 
magazine sent to all applicants by Barnard 
Summer & Co., Worcester Mass. 
Kemp’s Manure Spreader.— Catalogues 
from the Kemp & Burpee Manufacturing Co. 
Syracuse, N. Y. We have described this im¬ 
plement several times. It may be said, in 
brief, that the principle is that of a substantial 
cart or wagon with broad-tired wheels.the floor 
of which is a revolving apron, operated by suit¬ 
able gearing or machinery, and when the ma¬ 
chinery is in gear, the apron moves to the rear, 
carrying its load in contact with a swiftly re¬ 
volving toothed roller that picks the material 
finely to pieces and scatters it uniformly over 
the land, broadcast or in drills, as fast as the 
team moves along. Look at this machine at 
the fairs this fall. It will save you some of 
the hardest and most disagreeable of all farm 
work—spreading manure. 
“Pony” One Hole Sheller.— Circular 
from the Keystone M’f’g Co. Sterling, Ills. 
The only small thing about this sheller is its 
price, as we understand. Our readers know 
this house. The Keystone Hay Loader comes 
from Sterling. 
Whitman Agricultural Co.—Mr. C. E. 
Whitman of St. Louis, Mo. president of this 
company, informs us that their new hay- 
press is a great success. With a two-horse 
railway power the belt-power machine works 
up 20 tons in 10 hours. It is a good press for 
Eastern farmers who desire to bale hay in 
barns. The lever presses are also making 
many friends. 
Gutta Percha Roofing.— Catalogue from 
the Empire Paint and Roofing Co., 1126, 1128 
Race Street, Philadelphia, Pa.—It is claimed 
for this roofing that it is fire-proof and at the 
same time as cheap as shingles. It forms a 
light and tight roof, not requiring the aid of a 
skilled mechanic or an extensive set of tools. 
If the rain comes through any portion of the 
roof, it will pay you to look up this material. 
Mosely & Stoddard M’f’g Co.—The 
catalogue of Dairymen’s supplies furnished 
by the above firm is sent from Poultney, Vt. 
The dairy public will find this pamphlet inter¬ 
esting and instructive. There are many rea¬ 
sons why the Stoddard creamers, churns and 
other implements are praiseworthy. All these 
reasons are given with force and clearness in 
this pamphlet. 
THE POST OFFICE CLUB. 
There are some city people boarding near 
ou r place this year. Among them are a num¬ 
ber of young ladies. They come to the store 
after their mail or after candy, so we see 
quite a little of them. A party of them called 
the other night while the club was in session. 
On these warm evenings we sit outside on a 
Scrofula 
Probably no form of disease is so generally dis 
tributed among our whole population as scrofula. 
Almost every individual lias this latent poison 
coursing his veins. The terrible sufferings en¬ 
dured by those afflicted with scrofulous sores 
cannot be understood by others, and their grati¬ 
tude on finding a remedy that cures them, aston¬ 
ishes a well person. The wonderful power of 
Hood’s Sarsaparilla 
In eradicating every form of Scrofula has been so 
clearly and fully demonstrated that it leaves no 
doubt that it is the greatest medical discovery of 
this generation. It is made by C. I. IIOOD & CO., 
Lowell, Mass., and is sold by all druggists.

On Tuesday three acres of the mammoth wheat 
grown by the Frazier brothers, at Bustleton, was 
threshed, which yielded 121% bushels, this being 
40% bushels per acre, which is undoubtedly the
