*As it is inconvenient to give the decimal expressing the exact rate per cent. when the remaining fraction is less than one-half, we have made use of the section sign to indicate that the true rate per cent. is greater than that expressed ; and when the remaining fraction is greater than one-half, one has been added to the integer. and the minus sign used to indicate that the true rate per cent. is less than the number by which it is expressed.


t To the total for the year 1860 is added 250, the population of Cochranton, which was organized as a borough prior to the erection of East Fairfield as a township.

PUBLISHER'S NOTICES.


The Auburn File Works, at Auburn. Cayuga Co., N. Y., have gained a wide and enviable reputation for the superior excellence of their hand-cut Files and Rasps, of which they turn out from 150 to 200 dozen per week. They employ a large force of the best me- chanics to be found. Among the varie- ties turned out are all kinds of flat, hand, mill, round, half-round, square, three square, slotting, knife, pit saw and cabinet files and rasps, taper saw and extra horse rasps, from the best warrant- ed English cast steel. Such is the repu- tation of these files that they are univers- ally adopted throughout the manufac- tories of Auburn, where they are con- sidered superior to all others. We ad- vise all mill owners, machinists and me- chanics generally, who have not already become acquainted with their excellence, to do so the first opportunity. See card, page 180.


The Crawford Democrat steam job printing office, 79 Water St., Mead- ville, is a first-rate place to get done all kinds of job printing. Their facilities are such as to enable the execution of all orders with dispatch. See card on page 182.


Steele & Co., dealers in Groceries and Provisions at 101 Chestnut St., Mead- ville, advertise on page 166. They buy the best of goods in large quantities, and can and do sell as low as the lowest. Customers may be sure of fair dealing at this well established house.


Oakford & Hood, of Titusville, advertise on margins that they are the only Practical Hatters in the Oil Region, and they are consequently able to give you the latest styles in hats and caps, and at reasonable rates. When you are in want of a "tile " give them a call.


Meadville French Dyeing Es- tablishment, A. H.Arnault, proprietor, advertises on page 166. Mr. A's. experi- ence in regard to colors and their appli- cation to fabrics is such that superior work is guaranteed. Scouring and ren- ovating crapes, silks and wool is also done in the best manner. Mr. Arnault also deals in and exchanges furniture.


Mrs. A. E. Bennett's Photographic Rooms Meadville, is a first-rate place for those who desire to "see themselves as others see them." We recommend those who desire nice pictures at reasonable prices to give her a call. Card on page 180.

He will also do custom sawing promptly. Those about to build will consult their own interests by purchasing tho materials of Mr. Stitzer.

Burke, FitzSimons, Hone & Co., Importers, Jobbers and Retailers of Dry Goods, Fancy Goods and Woolens, Nos. 53, 54 and 57 Main St., and 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 North St. Paul St., Rochester. This house was established in 1849, since which time its success has been uninter- rupted, each year increasing its amount of business. Their annual sales amount to the enormous sum of nearly $2,500,000, their trade extending from the Eastern portions of the State to the "Far West." Oocupying as they do fully 40,000 feet of flooring in actual business departments, every portion of which is crowded with immense piles of goods from foreign countries, as well as of domestic manu- factures, render the facilities of this House for Jobbing equal to any in the country. The firm are also proprietors of the Elwell Manufacturing Co., where they manufacture $200,000 worth annually of Ladies' Underware, employing 500 hands. See advertisement on page 351.


Relief to the Afflicted .- Dr. B. Clark, of Washington Co., Pa., who has for many years labored zealously in the noble work of healing the sick, has made Chronic Deseases his especial study, and with such marked success, that thousands are ready to testify in his favor. From personal acquaintance with the Doctor, and from the testimony of his patients, we deem it a pleasure to reccommend him as a gentleman of ability. and one to be trusted by all who need the services of a kind and skillful physician. We hope the people of Crawford Co., who are suffering from chronic affections, or who have friends so troubled, may take the trouble to correspond with the Doctor. His ad- vertisement may be found inside first cover.


The Farmers' Mutual Fire Insurance Co., of Woodcock, print an an advertisement on colored page 353.


It seems to us that the plan of insur- ance adopted by this Company especially recommends itself to the farming com- munity, and its success indicates that it is appreciated. No farmer can afford to remain uninsured, and the low rates of this Company remove all possible excuse for neglecting this duty.
