The Editor is absent this week on
business. This perhaps will ex
plain the many discrepancies of the
paper this week. The editor pro
tern has also been troubled with
sore eyes.
If any of our correspondents are
diappointed this week in not hav
ing their favors appear in the pa
per. we will have to advise them
that our space is not sufficient to
put them all in at once.
—The date line on the first page,
was overlooked, and a gieat number
of the papers worked of! before the
error was noticed. Those kinds of
thiugs will happen sometimes.
—We call special attention to
the notice of Messrs. McMichael
tC Stevens, headed “To 0.. r Cus
tomers, to be found in another col
umn. They are a go-ahead firm,
# and arc well-worthv the patronage
and support of the good citizens of
Marion. Wc hope their notice
wiil have the desired effect. We
wish them unbounded success for
they deserve it.

Mr. Editor:
Having presented my preventive
and cure of the above disease, to the
State Agricultural Society, and en
tered the compction for the premium
offered by the So defy, fora prevent
ive anv) cure lor said disease, I deem ;
i: a doty to my fe'low citlzens to give
my plan lor applying both. For ap
plying the preventive, which is much
more important than the cure . I
get my bogs into close pens, make a
mop or swab, and with that anoint, them
thoroughly, the anointtnotv c rnsis*s
iftwo third good soft tar, one third
log’sifird, with four ounces sulphur
a- done half ounce carbolic acid, add
ed to every gallon of tar and lard,
all well stirred up together. Alter
anointing once, yon will have no
more trouble with cholera while the
smell of the tar and sulphur remains
on them, which will be several
months, After the disease is devel
oped, I qse as a cure the above oint
im pt, carefully applied to the skin,
null a drench consisting of a table
spoonful of sulphur in butter milk,
(they will mingle readily) repealing
Hie dose every twenty four hours,
f wo drenches will be sufficient if the
<\>se is not very severe. Every rais
ci of swine aught to notice them fre
quvPtly, and not allow those para
si to accumulate on them, for even
it tlv y do got become so numerous
aud voracious ns to produce cholera,
t oy do. great damage if allowed to
b.vcun.e very numerous. Several
rears ago, l told my neighbor, Pea
cock, that l had. become perfectly
sa istied that hog lice produced hog
cholera. Sc hooled at the idea, but
ri marked, “iljat If it was so. he would
never be troubled with it, for he did
not allow his hogs to get lousey, he
had at that ttijno never had' a ease of
it, and up totbis time lias never had
u case of it, notwithstanding all of
1 is neighbors have been muGh trour
bled with it, and ho always has the
linnpt tioga ®md fotest pork in the

niv fellow citizens, and: hog raisers
none rally, I subnus tins to the pub-
I e. requesting that the nesnlt in ev

A REMINDER,
We have been laboring hard
now for nearly n year, for the peo
ple of Marion county. It. has been
a hard, hard tusk to pull the Ak
ocs through the dull summer. The
people have made abundant crops,
and it is now time for them to re
member their faithful public ser
vant, the printer, and reward him
for his toilsome and incessant la
bors, by paying him promptly the
mere pittance he charges. Friends,
we need everything we can get,
and we hope our little accounts
will bo settled without further de
lay. If you have not the money
send us corn, fodder, syrup, meal
flour, wheat, meat, eggs, chickens
or pigs. Wc need it, and need
it bad.

ANOTHER LETTER FROM HISS
FANNIE ROGERS.
VIEWS OF THE CENTENNIAL k NEW
YORK.
New York City, ) j
August 31st, 1870. j
My Dear Mama and Papa:
At t.be close of my last letter you
saw that I was in Philadelphia. I
will give you only a brief sketch of
where I went and what I saw.
On Sabbath morning we visited
Trinity church, found it so crowded
that we could not get seats. IV e re
turned to our hotel, had lunch, and
our whole party, numbering about
40 with our- gallant Captain Cliipley
procured carriages, and liad a most
delightful ride over Fair-Mount Park.
I think we went about 25 miles. 1
I never saw more beautiful scenery-
We met and passed hundreds of ve.
hides of different kinds, seemed to
me all Philadelphia was out riding.
I assure yon we Intel a gay and pleas
ant time.
We returned about dark, had din
ner, and alterwardfb all assembled in
the parlor and listened to some very
sweet music.
On Monday morning we took a
street car lor the Centennial. Wc
arrived there,, each one with our
50cts, and entered immediately.
We entered Main Building first, and
almost before I knew it wc were in
Africa, where we saw minerals, birds,
animals, and all the different produc
tions oi that country w'th many cu
riosities. Wo then entered Chinn?
the curiosities there arc too mum rous
to rni ntinii, but l must tell you oi *>
bedstead that was carved beautifully,
the cost, of it bt ing S4OOO, then wc
came to beautiful ornaments curved
of ivory, then a pair of vases tor two
thousand dollars. We found many
curious and antique looking things.
Then pussod on to Japan, Norway,
Swceden, Great Bitian and Ireland.
Thirty-three governments \vc;c rep
resented in ibis building. We saw a
deal and yet there was a great deal
wc did irot see, because it would take
a person six months to see every
thing that is ou exhibition.
Wc next, visited Machinery Hall,
with all kinds of machines in .the
world in it. All inn by a large Cor
liss engine, said i-t> be the hu g st
engine in the world. In this budd
ing we saw them manufacturing ev
erything any one could think of. VC
saw silk in the cocoon state, then,
they were winding it off - , then draw
ing it in the loom, at ter wards weav
ing it in the most beautiful silks. 1
saw them making india-rubber shoes,
blowing glass in all kinds of fancy
ornaments, c nw tixan weaving the
most beautiful Brussels and ingrave
carpets.
Well, l must hurry mi. We nest
visited Art Galley, saw the finest pic
tures and statuary of both continents.
Wc spent several hours very pleas
antly gazing ou lira works of art.
Next day wo visited Hie United
States building, there we saw them
making different implements of war,
also a sloop of war, saw different
kinds ol machinery in operation that
has been invented in the United
States, also great many curiosities.
We next visited Agricultural Hall
were very much interested in there.
Saw two Chester pigs, Weighing
twelve and thirteen hundred pounds,
and an ox that weighed 3,100 pounds,
and all kinds of agricultural imple
ments. Thursday we risked Wo
man's Pavilion, and saw all kinds of
beautiful and line work made by the
ladies. We then went to all the
State buildings, among them I think
Kansas and Colorado, bad the best
display. It, had taken us four days
to see till these things.
On Friday we decided to go < ut in
the ci'y and visit the places of inter
est. At the Mint they were coining
money out of gold, sdver, copper
and lead, we could have spent sever
al hours very pleasantly there, if it
had not been so Warm and crowded.
We next went to Independence Hall,
saw the portraits of a great many
old Generals, and a good many old
relics. Next, Carpenters Hall, in
whicli the first Congress assemble and
in tlie United States. Wo after
wards visited Girard College, a com
modious and splendid building, ci>
dowered by Stephen Girard. The
cost of the building and grounds weie
six million dollars, it is for the ben
efit of the orphan childrens in Phil
adelphia, there being 550 pupils in
attendance. It is indeed a lovely
place.
We next went to the Penitentiary,
and as I have always had such a hoi
ror of a building ot tins kind, I must
say I was agreeably surprised to see
everything kept so neatly and syste
matically. The conductor was very
kind in carrying us over a large por
tion of the building.
Tho next day, (Satin day,) we spent
on the Centennial Grounds. We had
a great deal to see, as it was our last
day on the grounds. On tire Sab
bath we left for New York. We
were about three hours coming, en
joyed the scenery vciy much, it seem
ed one large city ail the wav.
We arrived here about six o’clock.
I will write again before we leave
■ New York.
With ever so much love I am
Fannie.
