COUNTY CoURT.-This Court which has been in
session here during the present week, will close
its sitting after to-day, the time allotted
will then have expired Owing to the press of
business upon the Court we have deferred pub
fishing tho proceedings until it shall have adj
journed. We will endeavor by the next issue to
present the most important to our readers. Since
the commencement OF the sitting sundry freedmen
have had sentence executed upon them for larce-
ny at the whipping post. Considerable county
business of Importance has been transacted and
various appropriations made which we will report
in due season.
The resumption of civil law and the active OPP
erations of the Courts, have had most beneficial
effect, and by their influence we hope, in time, to
see the evils of the present age done away with,
and the morals of the country regain their former
standing.-Ddily Journal, 18th INST.

To PRESERVE CIDER.-We give the fol

furnished US by one of our lady readers,
and having recently tasted cider kept sweet
and clear by the same method, can testify
to the value of the recipe To one barrel

two pounds raisins, and one-fourth of 4
pound OF the sticks Dark of cinnamon.
BULLET Poor CLoTH.-Tt is announced

M. Bernard has invented q certain species
OF cloth which is bullet proof At recent
shooting festival in Belgium, he submitted

rifle struck him in the breast, fattened and
fell at his feet, and picking it up, he ex-

His face was covered with steel helmet,
and the cloak reached to the ground. Not

he, of course, would not permit any one to
examine its texture closely. Such is the
report that comes to us in late foreign
mail, and if true, the famous needle-gun'
has met its match.

success of the measure, and it consequently COM
menced to curtsil its discounts and contract its
issues; but the fear soon wore away, and its cir
culatien at the close of 1918 was expanded TO
f92 945 1856, which the highest amount of bills
it ever issued.
During the year 1919 paper to the amount of
nearly 100000 was thrown out of circulation,
and of such little value were the issues OF those
country banks which continued to hold on, that II
was stated that Is note would not purchase aleg
Of lamb.
England, under the operation OF the slxty-ouhce
bullion law of Parliament before noticed, haa
been reduced to about &26,O 600. OF whicn upwaru
of Ct 900, 600 was in notes OF dehomhatohs less
than IS. ,-
In the latter part of the year this bank was per-
mitted to sell ngots OF gold OF not less tnan slAty
ounces in weight fer its own bills at the fate OF
of three pounds nineteen sh;lllings and sixpence
per ounce. This was reduction from the former
standard of redemption of one shilling and SIX
pence on the ounce, but still not down to the real
standard and for every ounce thus paid out In the
redemption of the larger denomination OF hotes IL
issued 81 and e. bills.
Affairs began to quiet down again in 1870, and in
the early part of 1871 the bank seemed seriously
to think Of resumption. In February of the latter
wear it issued notice to the effect that it would
nav out 81 900 600 of silver coin in exchange for q
similar amount of its notes, provided applications
were made for it previous to the LIST of the follow
ing July. By this act the bank displayed dispo-
sition to resume but it still seemed determined not
to resignis power, and the conditional five months
resumption on the silver basis for a comparative
small amount showed they yet entertained fears
of the movement. The above movement, coupled
with the sixty ounce payment, is what is termed
the nominal resumption. 1t was two years from
that time before the final payment of "spe.
Gle on demand" arrived, and the finances fling
and were restored on the metallic basis.

Here is Partisan story whose hero is an artist
A few weeks since, the Warehouses de -, a
stately lady of ancient family ia faubourg st. Ger
main, asked one of her old trienes to get drawing
master for her two daughters. Great stress was
properly laid on the habits and manners of the
drawing MASTER it was necessary he should be
talented, respectable aud very sedate and grave.
Her friend obtained for her the services of an able
artist who possessed all the desired qualities, and
gave the artist a letter of introduction to her.
When the artist called at the old family mansion
in fanbourg st. German, he was told the mar
ehioness was absent, but was momentarily ex
pected, and had given orders to show him into the
drawingroom if he came while she was away. He
was shown into the grand old room, which looked
SO like one of the saloons of Versailles that the
artist could scarcely refrain from thinking he must
be in Louis XlVis palace.
To pass away the time the artist examined the
articles placed on stand with shelves on one side
of the Fireplace. They were objects of art col
iected in Italy and Germany. While examining
one of the articles whose nature and use defed his
acuteness, portion of it fell down his sleeve and
in his effort to recover it the portion fell down his
drawerss8 He was greatly embarrassed. Were he
to undress to get it, there danger the mistress
OF the house would return at most critical mo-
ment OF the pr0Cess-SO that was not to be thought
Of He shook himself almost to pieces with no
result but to drive the object into his boots. To
pull off boots and stockings in drawing-room of
the Fauhourg st. German was as heinous an Of
Tense against good manners as to undress Atlast
he remembered his skill in walking on his hands,
and he argued that as the reversal Of u bottle
brought to the omfce the objects at the bottom so
if man placed his heels over his head, the heels
would surrender all unattached objects which
might be at them.s
Time passed, and he at once turned halfsum-
mersaut and stood on his hands, his feet in the air
He walked about the room in this position, kicking
his heels together TO accelerate the fall of the
object in his boots. The noise he made by kick
ing his heels together prevented him from hearing
the door open, and as his face directed to the
floor, he could not see that several persons had
entered the room. The newcomers were the
Warehouses and her daughters. cannot pretend
to express their surprise at seeing gentleman
promenadng about the drawing Groom on his hands.
You may easier conceive it. They stood for some
minutes in silent confusion. A turn in his course
brought the artists face in their direction, he
looked up, and, before can describe it, he was
on his fe ct and silent and confused they had
been. He fully eXpectedto be shown the door.
smile on the Warehouses face reassured him.
He confessed to her what had occurred. She
laughed heartily over it, gave him her hand, and
became at once his warm friend.

= Our readers will be glad to learn that
advices received from New York yesterday,
state that all the iron required to complete
the line Of road to St Cloud, and enough
for twenty miles Of the main line west of
Minneapolis, has arrived at that port and
that it is now being shipped to St. Paul. !.
Over four thousand tons are now On the
way. Five hundred tons were shipped
through by rail in April, and may be .ex-
pected at an early day. The remainder
comes by the slower and less expensive
transportation furnished by the Erie Canal
and the great lakes to Chicago. '*fz 2ss2
The early completion Of the line 10 St
Cloud is now secured beyond contingency.
II is gratifying 10 know that the rolling
stock Of this company is taxed to it's utmost
limits by the business Of the road. and that
IT has become necessary 10 secure at once
a large addition to its locomotives, passeil-
ger and other cars. Some idea Of the in
creased traffic Of this line will be gained by
comparison of the number of passengers
carried in April, 1866, with the numbers
for the corresponding month of this year !:
April 1895 Y do. :" do t', Do do =, sass
And there has been corresponding in
crease in freight over any previous season.
The experience of the pioneer railroad
of'Minnesot9 is encouraging to all similar
enterprises in the State. So far its expec
tations have been more than realized. and
the Company. for its energy md persever-
ance un Ter difficulties and discouragements
Of no ordinary character, has deserved the
highest degree Of success which is now
browning its efforts.
