THE PUBLIC DEBT.-The public
debt statement for the present month
viii show gratifying reduction in the
total amount Of the debt. The re-
esiots from customs aud internal rev.
enue will, in the aggregate, amount to
thirty eight or forty millions, and the
debt viii be diminished about ten
millions of dollars. tits expected by
the Treasury officials that the exhibit
for August will likewise show a
further reduction of the debt, while
the statement for September will most
probably increase the amount of debt
to the extent of few millions on ae-
count Of the heavy falling off in re-
ceipts, and anticipated large disburse-
ments to meet the expenses Of the

SUCH a record of crime as our local
columns this morning furnish we are
seldom called upon to publish. Two
attempted murders, two suicides, be-
sides other crimes which only, when
compared to these, are minor ones.
this is the awful record of the day.
Whisky caused a wretched man to
attempt the life of his wife. and after
wards to take his own. Disappoint
ment in love is given as the cause of
the other suicide, but it is noteworthy
that the victim was a bar keeper.
Mad passion whether inspired by
LIQUOR we know not = prompted a
young man to make a murderous as
sault on his brother.
One can hardly be blamed if he
does not feel very sanguine of the
near approach of the All Hal! Here
after, when he reads the accounts of
these shocking crimes. - Cincinnati

MAN SHIT AND KILLED NEAR
LHNNYILLE.
JEALOUSY THE CAUSE.

We are informed on good authority
that a man named John Baird was
shot and instantly killed last Sunday
at Hopper's Meeting House, four
miles east Of Lynnville, Warrick
County, on the road leading TO Tay-
louisville. The particulars as told US
are substantially as follows: It seems
that not long ago the unfortunate man
Baird and another young man named
Jack Maxey were both aspiring to the
hand of a young lady of their neigh
borhood, and that Baird was success
full in obtaining her hand in marriage.
Things passed on lovely for awhile
until Maxey's rather frequent visits
excited the jealousy of Baird, and
the green eyed monster taking full
possession of him he ordered Maxey
away, and warned him never to return
again to his house.
Eventually Baird felt constrained
to send Maxey word to leave the
country; that if he did not do so
within a given time he would shoot
him like a dog. on sight" We are
| told that Maxey did leave for few
| days, but again returned home, and
as he approached the meeting house
above referred to, on last Sabbath, he
was warned by Baird, who stood near
the meeting house door, not to come
nearer. Maxey remarked that he
would go where he pleased, when, as
| Baird put his hand into a side pocket
as if in the act of obtaining a pistol
he (Maxey) drew a revolver and fired
four shots at Baird, the first taking
effect in his head, just above his right
| eye, and the other three in his side
either of which must have proved
fatal. Baird died Immediately.
Although considerable excitement
was created by the affair, but little
sympathy seemed to be entertained
for Baird, our informant says, anC
up to Monday afternoon Maxey haC
not been arrested.-Princeton Clarion

POST OFFICE MONEY ORDER SYSTEM


The Money order System of the Post
ONCE is established for the protection and
convenience OF the people in making
money remittances through the malls.
The number of Money Order Offices nave
recently been greatly increased, and there
is now hardly county in this or the adj
joining States, where one or more of these
offices Is not established. This system
affords the safest and cheapest method of
making money remittances in limited
amounts to all parts of the United States.
When it can possibly be avoided, money
should sleUeT be sent IN the mails.
The charges for Money Orders are as fol-
lows:
On Orders not exceeding s20...--...10 cents.
over so and not exceeding s90.........l5 cents.

Gathering Winter Fruit.

The Western Rralist for Septem-
Der says
Gather apples and pears as they
ripen. To know when the fruits
have had their full growth, you
should try several OF them in differ
ent parts of the tree, by turning
them gently one way or the other
if they quit the tree easily it is q
sign of maturity and time to gather
them. None Of the delicate pears
should be allowed to be touched by
frost, as it woulG occasion them to
rot in a very short time. Observe,
in gathering the principal keeping
fruits, to do it when the trees and
fruit are perfectly dry, otherwise
they will not keep so well, and that
the sorts designed for long keeping
be all carefully hand pulled, one by
one, and laid gently in q basket, 30
as not to bruise one another.
Place them in some dry clean
apartments in heaps, each sort sepa-
ratio for about ten days, that the
watery juices may transpire. After
this wipe each fruit with clean, dry
cloth, and lay them singly upon
shelves on dry straw in frost-tight
cellar, and cover them with some
dry material. Common fruits for
moro immediate use may be packed
in barrels after being sweated and
wiped, layer about of fruit and
straw.

How TO FATTEN A Poor House.
Many good horses devour large
quantities of grain aud hay and still
continue thin and poor. The food
eaten is not properly assimilatod. IF
the usual feed has been unground
grain and lay, nothing but change
will effect any desirable alteration in
the appearance Of the animal In
case oil meal cannot be obtained
readily, mingle bnshel of flaxseed
with bushel of barley, one of oats
and another bushel of corn, und let
it be ground into fine meal. This
will be n fair proportion for all his
feed. Or tho meal of barley, oats
and corn, in equal quantities may
first be procured, and one-fourth
part of oil cake mingled with it,
when the meal is sprinkled on cut
feed. Feed two or three quarts of
the mixture three times daily.
mingled with peck of cut hay and
straw. If the horse will eat that
amount greedily, let the quantity be
gradually increased until he will eat
four or six quarts at every feeding,
three times day. So long as the
animal will eat this allowance. the
quantity may be Increased little
every day. But avoid the practice
of allowing q horse to stand at a
rack well filled with hay. In order
to fatten horse that has run down
in flesh, the groom should be very
particular to feed the animal no
more than he will eat up clean and
lick his manger for more.
