to stop the train so that he could get on. -

fore the engine had come Ioa stop. He
escaped with f. " triling bruises, to the as
constituent of all who Witnessed the accident.
for as the engine passed them he appeared to
have gone under it, and they expected to see
him crushed to pieces. Nothing but the ut

How TO DETECT STHEM -Counterftiting
bank notes by photography seems to be on
the increase. During The laSt four or five
weeks, a considerable number of these coun.
cliclts have lie II put .in'o circulation. and
they are produced with comparatively so lit
tie trouble. that the process bids fair to
become favorile one with counterfci,crs. -
Although photographs Invariably have an
unfinished, blurred appearance. and are rarely
if ever, of the deep black color which charac.
terlZes the genuine note, still they are apt to
DECEIVE an Impractical eye. Those persons
who are unable t, detect thcm by their
appearance, should always have at hand few
pieces of cyanide of potassium, which may
be purchased at trlflng cost ofany druggist
and can be kept in small wide mouthed
bottle. lfa bill is suspected, wet slightly
any printed portion Of it, and touch it with
piece of cyanide. If it should be n photo
graph. the paper will turn white, and in fact,
the surface of the whole note can be made
white by this process. If the note is not
photographed, this operation has no effect.

EFFECTS OF TIE GRAssHopPERs 1t will
be remembered that the grasshopperS destroy
cd nearly everything g"cen, in POI tons of the
state last year. In Lancaster and Chester
counties except in limited portions. they
were not so bad. In many places in Bucks
county, as we learn from the Intclligencer
where the giaSshoppers were so destructive
lost summer and autumn, the farmers have
been obliged to pillow their wheat stuhble. as
the young clover and timothy had been entire
~ destroyed by the ravcnous pests. In most
cases the fields have been broken IN with the
intention of planting them with corn. which
seems TO he the best use that can be made OF
the ground. A few have sown them with
oats and grass seed. Where the gra>shoppcrs
prevailed last summer the crop Of grass this
season will generally be light, as they seem
10 have done permanent injury to The grass.
In the usually productive agricultural dIstric
known as " Holland" in Northampton town

wheat stubblc for corn, the grass having been
entirely killed by the grasshoppcrs.
