THE GREAT KORRERY.

lhh OhEAl MUD DEN
1t will be remembered that on the 10th Of
March the announcement was made that the
safe of Mr.. Rufus L. Lord, broker SO Ex-
change Place, New York, was robbed Of bonds
amounting to a million and half Of dollars.
The owner of the funds, Mr.. Lord gentle
man eighty years old, stated that he put the
bonds into two tin boxes and locked his safe,
and on the following morning they we're gone.
A week ago last Monday Marshal Westcot,
accompanied by Detectives Poor and Donshea
of the United States MarshsPs Office Of New
York, stepped aboard the train for Boston,
and when some twelve miles from that city,
they arrested on board Of the cars a man who
gives his name as Horace Brown, who has
been only a year out Of the Charlestown
State Prison. In his baggage was found
about two hundred and fifteen thousand dol
lars Of the stolen bonds The arrest was
kept quiet, and instead of bringing him to
Boston on the train, for precautionary rea-
sons, they got out some twelve miles from
this city, and came on by private conveyance,
and Brown was then conveyed to Newbury-
port, where he remains in custody.
We learn that Brown, whose real name we
have not obtained, states that the robbery
was not perpetrated in the night time, but in
broad day light. How he first obtained in
formation of Mr.. Lords very careless man
ner of conducting his business it is impossi-
bic to state, but under pretence of leasing a
room in his building be made frequent calls
upon Mr.. Lord, and ascertained the exact
condition of affairs. On the day the robbery
was committed lie was accompanied by six
accomplices, who were partners in the job and
were allotted different duties. He entered
the Office and found Mr. Lord seated at his
table with his back to the door, and also with
his back to the safe which was open. He en-
gagged Mr.. Lord in conversation, and two &C.
completes then entered and took the bonds
from the safe and went out, Mr.. Lord being
unaware of the presence Of any other parties,
owing probably TO slight deafness and the
engaging conversation of Brown. In fact
Mr.. Lord did not discover the loss until the
next day.
1t is said the amount was equally divided
among the seven. aud, as we have ntimated
it was proposed by the robbers to deliver up
the whole amount for a consideration, when
the arrest Of Brown was made, which broke
up the arrangement.
Thus, according to the information which
we have obtained, the question turns upon tn,
propriety Of releasing Brown and securing tn,
bonds less the reward, or to bring Brown t
justice and lose the balance of the funds

PRACTICAL TEMPERANCE LECTURE
An incident occurred in Jacksonville, few
days ago, which might not be considered ex-
actly in keeping with modern refinement, but
was nevertheless both amusing and instrut-
tive. An unfortunate lady, whose HUSBAND
seems more attached to a rum shop than to
wife or children, after hard days toll to
feed her suffering children, started late in the
evening for the tavern where her other half
had been lounging about, drinking "rotgut,"
and playing euchre during the day. With
out much ceremonial introduction, she enter
ed the room where her beast-lke husband,
with three or four Of his cronies, was costly
seated at the table playing for tho drinks
She unceremo niousiy seized the cards and
gave them "shuffle," to which they were
not at all used, cut the 4" jacks" in promiseu.

ers, in a manner that would have done honor
to the most renowned modern relormer, up
on the beastly degradation Of their course and
the shamefully brutalizing effect Of alcohol.
Her pathetic words came down with seath-
ing force upon her guilty husband as she por-
uayed the suffering condition Of her children
and the priyaton to which herself was sub
jected by the cruel neglect and disipa,ed hab-
its ola once loving companion. She next
turned TO the keeper Of the tavern, and gave
him lesson Of truth, mingled with bitter
tears and sorrow, that would have reached
any heart not dead to all feelings Of humanity

SCARCITY OF Cows.-The dairymen who
have been prospecting for cows for next sea-
sons use, report bare market and high
prices. Any little scrub Of heifer coming
in the spring will command $50, while fair
cows figure up to $50 and 10 each. Farm
ers have plenty Of feed and great faith in the
future Of the dairy business Ohio Farmer.
L1oEoN CALvEs.-W ash them in water in
which potatoes have been boiled, and wash
thoroughly, and you will kill them. Tobacco
water, not too strong, applied in warm wealth
er il more apt to destroy them. Potato wa
ter is excellent to remove warts.
RAISE SUGAR ORCHARDS Fence, save,
plant, transplant, and encourage in every way
maple trees. The second growth will soon
follow the first, and we must have maple SUI
gar as long as Vermont is Vermont Raise
more of them, take care of them. Let them
cover The highways, high rocks, high hills
poor places, and unsuitable grounds and you
will feel the fleet in after years. You cam
raise too many.
Plug up your holes for spiles in maple
trees. as soon as sugaring is over, and pre-
serve your trees. They will decay rapidly i
you do not. Use soft wood and saw off ever
with the back. Use only halfiuch auger il
tapping, and a sumac spite. Reject goug,
and metal sple altogether.
A CURIosITY.-As large Maple tree wal
being sawed into stove wood on the premise
of Mr.. Rowland Of Lyndon, the other day
stone measuring nearly four by six niche
was found imbedded within it. The ston
was about sixteen feet from the roots of IN
tree, and one hundred and toenty grains OF lay
ers of wood had grown over it.

ELECTRICITY IN A CoTToN MILL.--It is a
general truth that friction develops electricity,
and most workmen know that a machine belt
at high speed by its friction with the air is
highly electrified. 1t has for years been a
common experiment for workman TO light
gas burners by holding one nd to a fast
going belt and the other to the open burner
This matter was curiously demonstrated in
the Appleton Mills Of this city on Wednes-
day. A strong smell of FIRE being noticed,
the premises were carefully searched, and a
small quantity Of cotton lint, inside belt
casing, was found on fire. The lint lay upon
beam which was within four inches Of a belt
some fifteen inches wide and moving some
go revolutions minute. In the beam was
an iron bolt, the head of which was toward
the belt. From the belt to the bolt was pas
sing stream Of electric sparks, which had
set the cotton lint on fire. After attending
TO this case, Mr. Motley, the Agent, opened
the casing Of a similar belt in another mill
The beam in this case was fourteen inches
from the belt, but the stream Of electric spark 3
was at once seen jumping across the beam,
although IL had not set fire to anything
Perhaps some Of the cases Of fire from sup
posed "spontaneous combustion are due to
electricity from machienty. The subject is
aninteresting one for investigation, and doubt
less profitable one.--LoioeH Courier.

THE R1aHr WAY OF SLEEPING The. Ger
man papers announce the death at Maede'
bouie Of learned physician, Dr.. Julius Won
dem Fischweier, who in his will has left the
world the following scientific secret via :
that his own great age (l09) is entirely TO
be absorbed to his constant habit Of sleeping
with bis head toward the north, and the rest
Of bis body coinciding as closely as possible
with that Of The mendian-thei lie, with his
heels to the south From porsisling in this
habit the learned doctor considered that the
iron contained in our system finding itself in
the direction Of magnetic currents, which IRE
constantly flowing over the surface of the
globe toward the North Pole, becomes mag
notized, and thus increases the energy Of the
vital principle.

WE1eur q PEorLR.-What is the aver
age weight Of man At what age does he
attain bis greatest weight? How much heav-
Ter are men than women? What would be
the weight Of fat people-and what Of very
fat people; NJ. Ruetelet Of Brussels some
years ago deemed such questions quite with
in the scope ofhis extensive series ofreseatch-
es of man. He got hold Of every body be
could, everywhere, and weighed them all.
He weighed the babies be weighed the boys
and girls he weighed The youths and maid
ems he weighed the men and women; he
weighed colleeians. soldiers, factory people
pensioners and as he had no particular tho
ofy 90 disturb bis facts. he honestly sot down
such results as he met with. All the inients
in the Founding Hospital in Brussels Tor a
considerable period, were weighed, ana the
results we're compared with others oolalued
At similar establishments in Paris and Mos
COW. The average returns show that a citi-
zen Of the world, on the first day of his APP
pearance in public, weighs about SIX pounds,
and a hali--a boy baby little more, girl
baby little less Some very modest babies
hardly turn the scale with two pounds and a
half, while other preteutious youngsters boast
Of ten and eleven pounds. NJ. Quetele'
grouped his thousands OF people &C riding
to ages, and found that the young men OF
twenty averaged one hundred and forty three
pounds each, while the young women of TWEEN
ty have an average Of one hundred and twen-
ty pounds. His men reached heir heaviest
bulk at about thirty FIVE, when their average
weight was one hundred and 6f.y-two pounds
but the women slowly fattened on until fifty
=, hon their hversge weight WAS one hundred
and twenty-nine pounds. Men and womoi
together, the weight, at full growth, averaged
almost exactly one hundred and forty pounds
