at Richmond, Va, where he is charged with
playing the confidence game" confirms
the statement that his name is Price, and
adds:
Il The Price spoken of is man who came
to this county some time during the SUM :

Price, former citizen Of Richmond, who
had lost everything during the war, and he
went to work as day laborer on the farm
Of Mr.. Perry Perkins. 1t became known

sympathy for his situation, he was gwen

SOME months and made himself known to
The larger number Of our citizens, and was
generally regarded as rattle-brain though
HARMLESS individual. After leaving his
situation in the drug store he engaged as
sn agent for one Of the Baltimore life in
surance companies, and was frequently
seen riding around our county with saddle
bags, like bearer Of dispatches. The

An orthodox divine in the town Of P,
in this State, who was in the habit Of play
ing with his notes while the choir were
singing, accidentally dropped them in q
crack in his desk. After trying for some
time to recover them without success, he
arose and addressed the congregation as fol-
lows: "My dear friends, I brought my
notes with me this morning, have got them
into this provoking crack and can't get
them out, but will read two chapters in
the book of Job, which are worth two such
sermons, if I had them"

Four PAssENG Err CARS AND TWO BAGGAGE

GISE.-A very singular, and fortunately, O

by the conductor to set matters right. In
order to facilitate matters. the tender was
uncoupled from the baggage car, and as the
train stood on heavy grade, couple OF
brakes were set to keep the cars from
moving off. It appears, however, that the
brakes were insufficient to hold the train,
and it started off before any Of the en-
ployes could stop it. Away it went down
the grade towards Cleveland at 8 speed
rapidly increasing every moment. me
passengers inside knew nothing OF the
circumstances, and supposed that the con.
ductor Was making up for lost time, and
nodded and slept on peacefully apd quietly.
Seven miles the fugitive train sped on It's

grade, and the passengers locked out, sup

WHEN the Plantation Bitters were first
made known to the American people some
seven years ago, it was supposed they
were an entirely new thing, and had never
before been used, So far as their general
use in the United States is concerned, this
may be true. 1t is also true that the same
Bitters were made and sold in the Island of
st. Thomas, over forty years ago, as any
old planter, merchant or sea captain doing
business with the West Indies will tell you.
Itis distinctly within my recollection that
on the return of my father (who was a sea
captain, and doing an extensive trade in
the tropics,) he would invariably have the
Bitters among the ships stores, and our
family sideboard was never without them
For any sickness, it matters not how severe
or trfiing, the decanter of these Bitters,
by different name, was always resorted
to as a sovereign remedy. n }s.lss -f.r,rf
