LAST Sunday the congregation of the
Dutch Reformed Church, in Little Falls,
N. j., were considerably frightened by the
fall of large quantity of snow and ice
from the root, which made fearful racket
in tumbling down. At that time the con.
gregation was listening attentively to the
sermon, when the cry of fire was started
A rush was then made for the doors, but
munster and hearers soon got over the
scare, and went back to finish the services

The San Francisco papers complain that
the yield of wheat in California has fallen
from forty bushels an acre down to twenty
bushels and that, if the present impro-
vdent style of farming continues, the crops
will not average over twenty bushels ap
acre. The old custom of burning the
stuble and straw, instead of turning it into
compost, is objected to.

HooFLAND's BITTERs.-Hoofand's German
Bitters is well known to the invalid For
many years it has been in use. and its reputa-
tion is unimpaired. 1t is not claimed for it
that it is competent to perform miracles, but
there are many diseases and disabilities which
it can reach more readily than any o,her
known remedy and in all such cases it is an
excellent remedy. Dyspepsia, and diseases
resulting from disordered Liver or a de-
rangement of the digestive faculties, come
within its scope, and persons suffering from
such diseases have found great relief from a
fair trial of this celebrated Bitters, This
remedy is not alcoholic, contains no rum or
whiskey, and cannot make drunkards. Its
reputation is backed up by testimonials from
many eminent Clergymen and others.

tion of all the ingrediants of the Bitters, with

A New REMEDY IN CoNsUMPTtoN.--A
Physician who had Consumption for several
years, with .equent bleedings of the lungs,
cured himself with medicine unknown to
the profession, when his case appeared hope
less. He is the only physician who has used
it in his own person. or who has any knowledge
of its virtues he can ascribe the degree
of health he now enjoys to nothing but the
use of his medicine; and nothing but utter
despair and entire extinction of all hope of
recovery, together with want of confidence
in all others induced him to hazard the exper-
iment. To those suffering with any disease
of the lungs he proffers treatment he con-
fdently believes will eradicate the disease

BROKE OUT.-By an advertisement in
the Lntelligencer we learn that eight
convicts in the Moundsyille peniten-
tiary made their escape from that insti-
tuition On Sunday about noon by tun-
neling from the bottom of their cells to
the main sewer-the same route, we
believe, taken by the lot escaping some
three months ago. 1t is none of our
funeral, but we would inquire if this
mode of leaving the penitentiary is not
getting to be too commoni Convicts
stay till they get tired and then leave.
To be sure the stockade is not very
strong one, and we don't wonder at
prisoners getting through it, but this
digging out midday on Sunday when
there are no noisy hammers and stone
chisels to drown the work of the opera
tors, strikes us as showing want of
vigilance on the part of some one.

po,,cr rorpr-Five deyotees Of Old

POLICE CoURT.-Five devotees Of Old
Ben Zine, the modern name for Bacchus,
and one kickist, made up the record
before the Police Court, yesterday. The
cool evenings seem to incite men to i'm
bibe heavier draughts of fusil oil than
when warmer weather prevailed, and
| we have the result in Monday morn
ing dress parade Of fusileers that looks
like business.
A very petty case was that against
William Laughlin, charged with an as.
sault on boy named Charles Bliss. 1t
is one of those cases that should never
be heard of in Police Court, in which
boy aggravates and invites a kicking
and then has the kickist arrested. The
assault being proven there was nothing
for the Judge but to assess the fine. He
made it the lowest he could, 81 and
costs, the price of plain drunk.
George Jones was captured on Web
ster street, Saturday, as full as tick.
George seems to have labored under an
idea that he had a contract to destroy
all the benzine in town. He tried to do
it. Failed. Fell by the wayside. Gath
cred up. Fined 81 and costs. Paid it.
George Moore was found near "The
Store" the central point on the Island,
so fall of benzine that he could not, we
ween, tell whether he was afoat or on
dry land. The Islanders quick, sent for
officer Dick to gather in this beszinist,
and they hauled him across with a
wagon and boss that belonged to an
Island machinist. The Judge, then,
severe, called for George to appear, but
he came not though loudly they called
him, but don't think they lost the 81 and
costs, besides pay for the man who had
hauled him. For they didn't.
Henry Franklin, like his great name
sake Ben, is a philosopher. Like the
great Benjamin, also, he confines his ex-
periments to lightning. There is this
difference though. The ancient Ben
jamin drew his lightning FROM the
clouds and afterwards bottled it. This
Franklin found his lightning bottled,
and he swallowed it. Result, it floored |
him. He was fined 81 and costs for a
plain drunk.
Bsntly Mslloy had taken out q com
Portable and comforting load of fusil
oil and tucked himself away in Hub
bard's board pile, about noon on Sun
lay. He was required to pay the usual
inc of a plain drunk, 81 and costs, or
attend geological studies for ten days.
Thomas Spears thought it weald be
sharp to get drunk on Saturday. About
TX o'clock Spears flew off the handle
Ind off the pavement, near the Custom
House. He was gathered up and fined
he usual amount, 81 and costs.
