Van Schaick was perfectly rate and aecosted Jerome
in language energetic than elegant telling him that
all the members of his (Jerome's) family were id
scoundres and thieves u and that there was not one OF
them who would not out of pure avace purloin the small
copper coin known to the American people from the
closed optics of a ,iefunct Ethiopian.
As Jerome appeared regard this mild statement as
pleasant jest Van Schack stated to his opponent conhden.
TALLY IF you to say to me half Of what have said

.'IN eonsin. 49, sri
One ofthe most touching scenes ever
heard of franspired in Madison to-day,
and was related tome by an eyewitness.
Il was as follows5'n brl D'l 1hf IS
IA son of Waldo Abeel, of Madison,
was frightened to death.o He wasplay-
ing, with another hoy about his own age,
on the, steps of the residence of Mr..
Abeel, when, a gentleman shall I saSi
no, a. monster in human form, or q very
thoughtless man, passing by, pitched at
the boys, and told them that. he would
catch them and shut, them up unless
they ran into the house They both
ran for their lives. Mr.. Abeel's son fell
upon the floor in paroxysms.g When he
came to so as to know anything, he
begged of his mSther not to let the man
catch him, and he would never 90 on
the steps again. .l'I5never will udo it
again, ! never, will do lit again." ex-
claimed the poor little sufferer, and i'm
mediately went into another fit. The
reaction of the system brought on a
dysentery from which he never recover
ed. Nor did he recover from his fright.
He appeared to be consciously spells,
but whenever he came to he would beg
of his parents not to let the man catch
him, promising never to go on, the steps
again. At last he appeared to be con-
scious that he must die. He would then
say, 80 papa, don't let me die, / never
will go on the steps again. And thus
my informant says the child suffered
and died. While the lady was relating
these facts to me the tears ran down
her cheeks. IL is not an uncommon
thing for older people to frighten chill
dren, but do they think what they are
doingi ] hope that this will teach all
whoread it q . lasting lesson. % -

Our lady readers. will thank us-at
least they should-for furnishing them
with the following fashion items which
we "run afoul" of in an exchange, relia-
bic authority on such subjects:
Trousers are to be actually and posi-
lively worn, not exactly Ia Bloomer,
but to avoid the exposure consequent
upon the use of filters. These trousers
will be worn with elastics at the ankles
not the knees, mind you, la 4mqne
They are to be made of taffeta, the same
shade of the short under petticoats.
If it wasn't that we might be deemed
inqnisitive, we would like to know
where's the use of filters If the limb:
are to be shrouded in bags-how trous
ers look when positively worn-what the
deuee taffeta is (anything resembling
taffyi) or of what particular hue or tin,
the short under Neutrality-suspicious.

we should not have had to ask thes'

By virtue of decree Of the Supreme
Court of Pennsylvania, John Graham

posed to public sale at the rooms of the
Board of Trade, Pittsburg, all and sim

soever situated, and belonging to said
CHARTERS Valley Railroad Company, or
which may hereafter be acquired by
them, together with all the right and
benefits of the agreement of said com
