ing every morning baked apple. One day
he had placed one to cool upon the mantle
piece, and had gone meanwhile into the lib
rary. One of his friends entered the room
saw the apple and ate it. Lafontaine on re-
entering, not seeing his apple, doubted moi
what had become of it.
Then he cried with emotion, "Ah, who has
eaten the apple that 1 put on the mantel p
at was not me-" replied the other.

The Precions Metals.

Hunts Merchants Magazine for August,
contains an elaborrt statistical article on "The
Precious Metal, Coins, and Bank Notes." from
which we extract the following facts:
The amount of gold and silver extracted
from the mines of America, from 1892 to 49,
oS as registered, was $500, 100000.
The wear and loss of coin has been vari-
ously estimated at from one-fourth to one-half
of one per cent annually. The best opinion
seems to be that it is about one-third of one
per cent in ten years; lS per cent. in fifty
years, and 25 per cent in one hundred years.
The loss from IRE is probably nearly one-tenth
of l per cent. annually; from banging and
transportation by land and water, about as
much more; and from friction, more than
ene-tenth of one per cent annually.
The amount of gold and silver annually
used in Europe and America for plate, gliding
watches, jewelry. and other utensils and orna-
ments, is about $l8,oO0,0oO.
The amount of specie estimated in use in
Europe and America,on the 3lst of December,
1910, was $l,200,COO.

The oldest Inhabitant.

In the adjoining county of Jefferson there
resides worthy citizen, whose name is John
Vanhooser, now in the one hundred and twen-
ty-second year Of his age Until recently, he
was in the habit of walking to and from town
on calls of business, distance Of FIVE or six
miles, without experiencing any fatigue. He
is German by birth, but emigrated to this
country about one hundred years since. He
was in several of the most important battles
of our revolution. He voted for General Wash
ington for President of the United States, and
boasts that he has never failed at any election,
for President from that time till the present to
vote the Wing ticket! We understand that
recently one of his daughters, lass Of eighty
gears Of age, paid him a visit, and found the
old gentleman in his usual health. We doubt
if another such case of longevity can be found
in the United States.

the mortality decreases. To what the sick

ter considerable enquiry into many cases I
am at loss TO conjecture.
AS might have been expected in the gen
eral panic that prevailed, the disease was pro

the Platte, The immigrants on the north
side only knew of it as they received reports

State Fair POstp oned to October.

The Board of Agriculture have concluded
to postpone the time for holding the Ohio
State Fair lat Cincinnati) to the I'd, 8, and 4th
days of October next.
The reasons for this change are, the prob
ability that the fear of cholera may continue
to excite apprehensions in the minds of some,
especially when travelling or assembling in
large crowds, until after the time heretofore
appointed for the Fair; also the low stage Of
water in the Ohio river is likely to obstruct
travel and navigation above Cincinnati during
September; and farmers will have more leis
ure in October after wheat sowing is DONE Il
will also be more favorable time for trans
porting and exhibiting choice stock, and for
the show of fruits by the Pomological Con
gress.
We arc not authosized to announce thai
the Pathological congress viii change its time
for assembling, as there has not been sufficient
time to hear from its officers, but we thinl
there can be no doubt of their consenting tt
the change.
Editors are requested to notice the above
change of time in their papers.

SHOOT THE DEsERTERs-HANG THE TRAI-
ToRs-FRowN Down THE BoLrERs!-Th
Democratic Courier sends forth the following
orders to the faithful:
DEMOCRATS OF HANCOCK CoUNTY:-The
election is approaching, and it is importan: that
you should be up and doing tits with regret
that we find it necessary to warn you against
the insidious and piratical designs of Boilers.
From present appearances, you have not only
to be on your guard against the common en-
cmy, but against TRAITORS in our own ranks.
Be active! Be vigilant! Frown down the
attempts of Boilers, whether in the shape of
Independent candidates or their supporters,
and all will be we'll
Boilers and traitors all such are pronounced
to be, as presume to call in question the right
of a few holders and office-seekers to
dictate to the whole party for whom they shall
cast their votes. The rank and file, which
compose at least nine-tenths of the party, are
only wanted at the ballot boxes, to carry into
effect the DEGREES of the caucus managers
This is democracy with vengeance! 1t saves
the mass of the party the trouble of thinking
or acting in advance-they have only to wait
until the dictators have all things arranged
then walk up to the polls and deposit the tick
ct furnished them, without hesitation, on pain
of being branded as boilers or traitors
