SUNBURY SPECTATOR.
THE LEADING FAMILY NEWSPAPER.
S UNBURY is situated on the Cleveland, Mount Vernon and Columbus Railroad,-centrally located, and with a rapid- ly growing population.
The SPECTATOR is the only paper published in the town, and is a general household favorite. The career of this paper during the few years of its history, marks the success which seldom fails, when industry, perseverance, able and faithful management are united in conducting a newspaper. The SPECTATOR is a seven column folio, published every Thursday, and is in all re- spects a first class Journal. Nothing is admitted into its Editorial or News columns, that can offend the most fastidious sentiments or taste. Thus it is essentially a FAMILY NEWSPAPER. Its Market Reports are carefully prepared and corrected weekly. " Independent in all things but Neutral in nothing." Its opinions upon publie topies are as freely and explicitly declared as they are carefully considered and adopted. Thus its influence upon public affairs is deep and strong. There are few country Journals which can present such a record, and it is one that will be accor- ded by all its patrons without hesitation. Its local columns are equalled by few ; besides giving all the available news in its own quarters, it also has Correspondents in all the larger places around it. Its Editorials are all on the latest subjects, exposing all ras- cality, either at home or abroad, and are given with the best of its ability, no matter whom it praises, flatters or injures.
It weekly contains all Congressional News, besides News from the West, the East, the South, the North, from Washington, and from Foreign Lands, and one copy contains as much reading niatter as any two papers published in the county. In all its items it publishes only what is truthful and reliable, making it the paper that the parent may, without fear, place before his family.
As an Advertising Medium,
The SPECTATOR cannot be excelled in the district wherein it circulates.
I Sample copies will be sent upon receipt of request. TERMS-$1.50 Per Year.

A NOBLE PHYSICIAN.
ISHOP BEDELL, in an Address to a graduating medical class, dwells upon the influence of conscientiousness in a Physician. He gives the following interesting anecdote as an illustration of what he means by that moral quality :
"I was very ill in Chamounix, under the shadow of Mont Blanc. Those grand ice pinnacles, that majestic dome of snow, those slow-creeping glaciers, that brawling Arve, give to the valley-itself 4,000 feet above the sea level-an atmosphere which invalids resort to for health, and strong men for the lux- ury of breathing in. Men are not expected to be ill there.
"So there was no physician resident nearer than Geneva,-a long day's journey. But a physician had taken a house at Cha- mounix for the summer, waiting with his family until a lucra- tive situation, for which he had applied, should be open to him. He was in daily expectation of being summoned to his new home, when he was summoned to my bedside.
" He found a case of typhus fever. He watched and nursed me like a brother. During long weeks of semi-consciousness his presence met every moment of need. After about a month he received the welcome message that his new home was ready. He replied that he would come immediately, for his patient was re- covering.
" But his patient relapsed. Again dangerous symptoms set in. And in the midst of them came a letter indicating that great anxiety existed for his presence at his new home. He asked for a little delay, expecting to be speedily relieved ; but the symptoms were aggravated, and the disease unbroken.
" A telegram arrived, summoning him in a week. The week passed. He replied to it that his patient needed care a few days longer.
" He was not an unknown man. Trained in the Jesuit Col- lege at Turin, in the same class with Cavour, the great statesman of Italy, he devoted himself to medicine, and afterward taught it, in the medical Faculty of that city. During the Crimean war he was the head of a medical staff on the field. He had solicit- ed the position which was now open to him, and had expected it anxiously. He was a devoted Roman Catholic, an Italian, having no ties nor any particular sympathy with an American and a Protestant.

" But his patient needed him. He stood between him and death. There was no one within a long day's journey to take that place. And, therefore, when the next telegram arrived, that he must come within twenty-four hours or the position would be given to another applicant, he calmly telegraphed in reply-his patient needed him. He would sacrifice the place, but not his duty.
"That was conscientiousness. And I write the name of CHARLES DUPRAZ high on the scroll of my grateful recollections of noble men-Physicians."
SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.
IT is now well known that many substances, under certain combinations, will take fire of themselves, upon the princi- ple known as spontaneous combustion.
Cotton, saturated with linseed oil, has been known to inflame within two hours.
Canvass, painted with white lead and oil, dried, rolled, and put under cover, burned in a few hours.
An old packing sheet, smeared with oil, took fire.
Cotton Rags, on which oil had been spilled, took fire while be- ing delivered from a cellar.
Dirty Rags, upon which workmen have wiped oil from their hands; these, thrown into a heap, are pretty sure to heat and ignite in time.
Linseed Oil, dropped upon wool, has caused several fires.
The paint and oil room of a carriage shop burst into a flame ; cause, wood work smeared with flax seed oil.
Bituminous coal has burned spontaneously, and caused several large conflagrations.
Wool, greased for carding, ignited in a few hours.
Linen rags, in paper mills, undergoing fermentation, require careful attention.
A species of fireworks known as "red fire," purchased on the fourth of July, and not used, subsequently ignited and set fire to the house.
A man seated himself upon an empty oil barrel, which had been standing for some time upon the side walk, exposed to the sun. Wishing to light his pipe, he struck a match upon the bar- rel, when the gas, with which it was filled, exploded, severely injuring the temporary tenant.

COUNTY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
0
Records of the proceedings of the first Agricultural Fairs held in Knox County, I have utterly failed to unearth,-not even the preliminary steps taken to effect an organization can be obtained at this date. This should not be the case, and I trust that all fu- ture officers of this important county Association, and more particularly the Secretaries, will see that a fair and impartial re- cord of every transaction of the Society is placed upon the pro- per minute book.
The first Knox County Fair that I have any recollection of, was held, I believe, in 1852 or 1853. The display made was no- thing to brag of. The Court Room of the Court House, then standing on the north-west quarter of the Public Square, was made use of for an Art Hall. Mr. A. Ban. Norton took promi- nent part in its management-either as its President or Secretary.
The officers of the Society for 1876, are:
President-Alexander Cassil.
Vice President-Peres Critchfield.
Secretary-Willard S. Hyde. Treasurer-Ira M. McFarland.
Board of Directors-Clinton Township, two members. Other Townships, one each.
