trict Fair Association.
The newly-selected King of Spain has just
been presented, by the Queen-elect, of course,
with an heir In other words, son has been
born unto him, and his name shall not perish.
The birth of the child after Amadeo's cleo
ton makes his claim to the dynastic successor
ship binding.
Military men have discovered discovered a
new remedy for intoxication, which we believe
ais not down on the books" It is nothing
more than raw potatoes, which are cut up in
slices and without salt. An ordinary amur-
shy,p it is said, will cure the most obstinate
case in half an hour.
A farmer at. Sweetwater, Tennessee, was
badly sold the other day by some New York
swindlers, who sent him package marked
gold watches, upon which he had to pay S94.
He retired to his own house before viewing
his purchase, and there found that he had
parted with his money for four pieces of cast
iron.
Anthony Hoap, manifestly suffering from
partial insanity, entered st. Xavier's Roman
Catholic College in Cincinnati, on Friday,
armed with a hatchet and long knife, and
attacked Father O'Neil, wounding him in the
left arm seriously. Several other priests re-
ceived slight injuries before the man was ar
rested.
An Indiana man effected a smart strategicaI
combination against the potato bugs. He
planted grain of corn in each hill of potatoes.
The corn came up before the potatoes, which,
of course, cheated the little pests into the be-
lief that it was cornfeld, and they never
went near the potatoes until it was too late to
do any damage. His crop of the esculent is,
therefore, the envy of his neighbors.
S. Ewens, agent of the Howe Sewing Ma
chine in Crestline, left for Cleveland last
month to collect some bounty money due him,
and has not since been seen or heard of. He
was steady, industrious man, and fears are
entertained by his friends that he has been
foully dealt with, as it was known he had
considerable money about him. Dilligent
search at Cleveland and elsewhere has failed
to discover any trace of him.
Mr.. Rodney W. Daniels, the Collector of
Gus oms at Buffalo, has been suspended and
his Office placed in the hands of an agent of
the Treasury Department. The charge is
that for some time past between $4,000 and
$1,000 of the government funds had been ab-
stracted the Collector substituting his due bill
and that of another person, to represent the
absent money. The amount has been made
good, but the offense stands.
The Canadian telegraphs are entitled to the
credit of having discovered how fast an earth
quake travels. At Aiimouski, when the late
earthquake was made known to the operator,
he at once asked the Quebec man how he felt.
The shock having arrived just as the latter
was about to answer, it caused him to change
his mind and ask the Montreal man, 200 miles
further on, whether he had felt it. The lat
ter had just time to say "No" when the Office
was shaken to its foundation.
