Some of our sports attended the 12th of July celebration at Parkhill Tues- day,—This week the farmers generally are buisly engaged with their hay crop. The weather thus far has been somewhat catchy, but we hope for bet- ter things later. on. Under existing circumstances, if farmers desire to procure the best results from their crops, they must handle it with the greatest care so that the product will be of the very best quality. We have as good hay in this county as can be grown in the world and all that is needed is caro in'saving it. Farmers should 'be careful not to cut too much at one time, so they can cure what they cut withoutallowinat to get wet. They should also remember that a heavy dew on dry hay is just as injur- ious to the quality as a shower of rain. These are enervating days, when, as somebody has said, men drop by the sunstroke as if the Day of Fire had dawned. They are fraught with dan- ger to people whose systems are poor- ly sustained; and this leads us to say, in the interest of the less robust of our readers, that the full effect of Hood's Sarsaparilla is such as to suggest the propriety of calling this medicine something beside a blood purifier and tonic,—say, a sustaining diet. It makes it much easier to bear the heat, as- sures refreshing sleep, and will with- out any doubt avert much sickness at this time of the year, A Sustaining Diet.

Stories of the Japanese -Russian war tell of daring charges but the leading of forlorn hopes come to us only in fragmentary form, When the loss of life is compared to the civil war the eastern engagements dwindle to mere skirmishes. Most authentic reports show that the severest fighting of the present war has been on the Liao Pe- ninsula, at Vafangow and other points but the highest estimates of casualties in any one conflict is 5,000. In read- ing accounts of these battles it is well to remember that there were 64,000 men killed, wounded or missing at Gettysburg, 25,000 at Antietam, 28,000 at Ohancellorsville, 33,000 at Chicka- mauga; 23,000 at Shiloh,18,000 at Fred- ericksburg, and 23,000 at Stone River; while battles and skirmishes is which 8,000 or more were killed, wounded or are numbered by the hunnreds.--- Washington Post.
