CALL AND SEE OsaooD's Patent Folding
Extension Table, at the Yankee Furniture
Store, AIS and 420 East Water street, Mil
waukee, one of the greatest improvements
of the age. Five-sixths of the labor, and
all of the objections to the common extern
sion table obviated. There ere no filing
leaves to be removed from the table, and
put into box, thereby avoiding the warp
ing of the leaves, and the trouble of hav-
ing box around in the way. There are
no wooden slides to swell or shrink, the
patent table having extension hinges which
are not effected by damp or dry weather,
but always works easy. 1t can be extended
or closed in ten seconds. IT Is much strong
er than the common table! The fall leaves
are supported by spring bracket, that
comes in place by raising the leaves, and
is much stronger and more convenient than
the common way Of supporting fall leaves
The new table viii seat two more persons
than common table of the same length,
as the fall leaves are not 30 much rounded
at the ends hb1e So ~
We would advise any one who contem-
plates purchasing table, to call and ex-
anime these beautiful tables, as they are
really q novelty. If you buy the common
table, you will soon repent It, after seeing
the new table. Messrs. Matthew Bros.

A Forming b. Accident

Many years ago. q German named Geo.
Ledger left his native country and came
to America to seek his fortune. Six wears
ago, he took up his residence near Musco-
tine, Iowa, and soon after enlisted in Am
Iowa regiment. serving in the army until
the close of the war, when he returned and
engaged in farming. Financially, his cir
cumstances have not been the most envia-
bic, he having barely sufficient means
to keep soul and body together
A short time ago, not having heard
from his home for nearly TWEEN
| ty years, he concluded to write and in
quire after his relatives and friends. In
due time an answer came, informing him
that his father had died nearly twenty
years ago, leaving a fortune of nearly
twenty thousand dollars in gold, which
was willed to the son, ON condition that
he be found within twenty years. Ii is
unnecessary to say that immediate steps
were taken by Mr. Ledger to secure the
money, which he is now in possession of.
Had he not written home just when he
did, the fortune now amounting to nearly
forty thousand dollars, the principal hav-
ing been on interest, would have gone
elsewhere

Conscience-Stricken Murderer.


About six years sgo, a girl named Lucin-
da McGinnis was murdered near an unoc-
cupied house on the Chenango Canal, in
the town of New Hartford. George and
Newlan were arrested for the crime, and
tried and acquitted. During the trial, Geo.
White, the acknowledged lover. of the girl,
was wanted as O witness. 1t was with great
difficulty that he could be found at the
time, and Immediately after the trial he
disappeared During the war White was,
ct least portion Of the time. in the army
and his fellow soldiers tell strange stories
of his mutterings While asleep. These sto-
ries are now told by men on whom reliance
can be placed. One of them says that
White has often frightened him by his
rawlings about the murdered girl in his
sleep, and that he has often confessed to
numbering her. n M
Suspicion rested on White at the time
the murder was committed, and it is now
possible that the old adage that murder
will ont is about to be exemplifed. On
Monday night last White came to the City
Hall, and while wandering up and down
stairs he was accosted by the janitor, when
he said he was waiting for Rosa. "What
Rosa?D inquired the janitor. "a girl that
Killed." was the reply. White then said
the girl had been following and talking
with him. He was taken to the police sta
ton, where ne was at once recognized, and
then acknowledged in the presence of sew
eral officers and others, that he killed Lu-
cinda McGinnis. He said that he first
hid the body under some bushes, and
then becoming uneasy about il, threw the
remains into the canal

Ireland, taken in 1851, it appeared that ia
a population of G, 574, 278, as many as %. 8
per cent spoke Irish; but ten years subse-

taken place, since in March, 1861. when
the last census was taken, and the total
number of inhabitants was 5,79S. 967. the
entire Irish speaking population amounted
to only 1911 per cent OF the ], los. 5S6

speak Irish numbered 163, 275, and the re-
mainder protested a verna cular knowledge
of both languages. But few educated per
sons could either read or write Irish. In
1851, more than half the inhabitants of the
province of Connaught could speak their
native language; even still the counties of
Galway and Mayo afford the greatest nun,

as many as 73, $50 therein were returned as
