AN ARTIFICIAL FISH POND.-Messrs.
Allen & Higgins, druggists, on Merchants
Row, have put into one of their show
windows, beautiful aquarium, in which
they have deposited fifteen fine specimens
of speckled trout, from the ponds of DR.
Middleton Goldsmith of this village, with
suitable quantity of "smaller fry" for
food. The aquarium attracts much atten-
ton, as it should, for some of the fish are
far ahead, in size, of the specimens of
trout usually caught in Vermont streams.

A Observation-Disclosures curiosity is
felt in regard to the sudden disappearance
of Robert Mathie of Greensboro, who has
lived alone for about two years past. No
one can tell of having seen him, or any
signs of any one about his house since the
23d of November. His premises have
been searched on suspicion that he might
be dead, as his kitchen has the appearance
of his being about to prepare meal, there
being a chicken in kettle on the stove,
and some potatoes washed, on or under
the table. His house was not fastened,
and everything rhereabouts has the APP
pearance of his intention of coming back
in short time. If any one can tell of
his whereabouts they will please do SO
through the Barton Standard, He was
about 40 years of age, rather broad chest
and shoulders, unshaved, dark whiskers,
and dark gray eyes.

An Old WO0dsawyer Dies I'm Hi,
Howell AIone-The Body Discovered
by Decomposition. t
From the Memphis Appeal, Aug. 20
The neighbors Of small wooden tene-
ment on Second street near Bayou Gayoso,
belonging to James Reilly, County Court
Clerk, have for several days noticed that
it was closed tightly, and for the last
three or four days have been excessively
annoyed by horrible stencil which ema-
mated therefrom. Yesterday morning it
was determined by some of those living
close by to break into the shanty and
learn the cause of the peculiar odor. The
door being burst open, horrible sight
greeted those who entered. Stretched on
the floor, in an advanced stage of decom-
position, was the body of an old man,
well known to the neighborhood as a
woodsawyer, named John Moore.
A messenger was sent for Squire Nil
Ter, who, on arriving, summoned jury
and held an inquest. The verdict re-
turned was "died from congestion"
How this conclusion was arrived,at we are
at loss to imagine. On the body of the
deceased was found letter written in a
rather masculine female hand "a fair spec
linen of British chirography,) apparently
to priest or clergyman, inquiring about
Zone John Moore The letter was signed
"Sarah Moore" but an answer was re-
quested to be sent to 'tMary Davidson, St.
Mary de Lewis, Quebec, Canada" The
body was buried at the expense of the

might follow fawning.p Generous, man
ly, and as well bred as the best blood of
all the Towards, with personal and
political record of which any man might
well be proud, he is the peer of any one
in the land. Thoroughly conversant with
our State affairs, no one can write or
speak of them more eloqaently. Popular
with his comrades in arms and with the
masses of our people, we thought he was
the very man to head our columns in the
Gubernatorial canvass. We think SO
still, and only retire his name at his own
request
Thus much we. have written expressive
of our views from a life long acqnaint-
ance, and, as we grow older, we become
the more fully convinced that the only
kind of men fit for positions of trust are
those who have displayed upon the active
theatre of life qualities of personal cour
age and sharply defined points of charac-
ter. The smooth talking, irresolute trim
mer, who adjusts his sails to every breeze,
can never be depended on in moments of
trial and difficulty. Sooner or later, be
will prove trescherous. In State as in
War, we need men of pluck as well as
head, and one of this kind is worth ga
whole wilderness of weak-backed,
weak kneed, ornamental statesmen, who
blanch lily-white at the first approach of
danger, and are incapable of the slightest |
manly exertion in the hour of need.

A SHAM DUEL,


From the Richmond Enquirer, Aug. ILL
A sham duel came off yesterday after
noon about o'clock on the bloody
ground near the Poorhouse, one of the
principals to which was in dead earnest.
1t seems that young Mr.. M felt ag-
grieved at the conduct of Mr.. C,
several years his senior, and this I'M
pleasantness, through the Intervention Of
friends, eliminated in challenge to NOR
tai combat. "Our Fritz" was not more
in earnest or IN hotter blood at Haguenau
than young NJ, and the bullet he gave his
second to use in loading his pistol was as
deadly looking a missile as the Prussiars
or French viii use during the war. Mr..
C., as were both the seconds, Messrs. S,
and j., was in the joke, but feigned an
awful calmness, looking for all the world
as if he had made his will and was bent
on blood.
The ground reached and the distance
measured, the belligerents were placed in
position with all the formalities known to
the code. The pistols were loaded as if
with bullets, and the word given. G.
fired in the air quickly, but NJ, with
more elaboration, fired straight at his an
tagoList, who, at the crack of his antag
onist's pistol, leaped into the air and
tragically yelled, 81 am shot" The sec
onds rushed to him, while NJ. hastily re-
treated from the supposed field of blood.
The outside friends, who were not in the
Joke, were panic -stricken-one hastily
filling his bran new chapeau with water
from the nearest branch for the dying
man. Hanover market cartmen, who
viewed the fight from the road, were
seized with the like CONSERVATION when
they beheld the seconds lift c. from the
ground, place him in wagon as if NOR
tally hurt, and drive with all haste for the
city. The news of the sham duel spread
rapidly, and by night was laughed over
by everybody, we presume, except the
young gentleman who was the victim of
mischievous conspiracy.

AS our dispatches show, old Gen. Won

brilliant and heroic record. Gen. Won
Steinmetz participated in the campaigns
against Napoleon l, in the years 1914 and

confguration of the country through
which he is now leading his victorious

military career Gen. Won Stelnmetz has
never beer defeated. His soldiers idolize
him, and say they are inyincible as long
as he is at their head.

what N BostonIan Thinks.

The Adams a. y Visitor speaks of an emf
nent BOstOnian who regarded an advertise
ment in newspaper as personal invitation
to call, and said: "While l sometimes hesitate
about entering a store the proprietors of which
have not thus sent their cards to my residence
| always feel certain of cordial welcome
from the members of an advertising firm"
The same paper adds: There is in this re-
mark an assurance of one of the many results
of advertising. The trader and his calling be-
come identified, and the name of the man is in
separately connected in the mind of the public
with his merchandise. 1t may not be the very
day an advertisement appears that it bears its
fruit; weeks or months may elapse and then,
when the want arises, the article to be OBJ
tanned Immediately suggests the advertiser.
This is the effect of general advertising when
persistently followed. 4 special class of adj
vcrtisemcnts, where some novelty is announced
is more immediate. A shrewd business man
once advertised triiliug article in manner
which could scarcely prove rCmunerative. His
neighbOrs expressed their regret at his folly
but he appeared COntgntcd. Though his gross
sales of the article did not cover the cost of his
advertising, he attracted a new class of people
to his store, and his shTewdness paid him in a
very short time, for new eyes saw what he had
to offer in addition to the speciality advertised,
and new purses came under contribution to
him.

Does 1t Pay to Advertise ?

If you have any doubts about it, the only
way to find out is TO give it fair trial, and as

From every section of the country come tes-
timonials of the advantages derived from a
well regulated system Of advertising. A Surer
or safer investment for business men cannot
well be imagined. 1t puts them before the
public in beneficial light; "they become
known and read of all men," and reap an
abundant harvest from the seed thus sown.
There can be no doubt of the fact; patrons de-
clare it; newspapers assert it, and experience
cOnclusively proves it,. Here arc a few cases
