Characterization Counter.
" .... Afeiti = AZ -


The reputation which, for many years, has
attached to ''Hostetter's Stomach Bitters," as
the STANDARD TONIC OF THE AGE, and the large
demand for the article, not only in the United
States but elsewhere. have provoked the GU
pidity Of the coUyTERyErTNG TRIBE, and it has
been extensively SIMULATED and INITIATED by
unscrupuloys sharp:rs. nj
The most daring counterfeit of said article,
which has been attempted, has recently come
to orr knowledge. The engraved steel label on
bottles containing the genuine bitters, with its
beautiful vignette Of st. George and the dragon
its shield, containing warning against coun-
terfeiters, and its note of hand for "one cent
at the foot, signed with our firm name, has
been copied so closely, that the fraud can only
be detected on q minute inspection The dark
label is also well counterfeited, and the word.
ing on both the imitation and genuine are pre-
cisely the same: the difference being simply in
the execution OF the work; that of the imitation
being somewhat c0drser than the genuine
Other counterfeits are on the market which are
in all particulars the same as described above,
with the exception Of slight difference in the
spelling of our name.
In addition TO the above, these counterfeiters
have gene so lar In some instances as to place a
strip of paper over the cork and fasten to the
meek of the bottle, on which is a vignette, and
otherwise printed to resemble the general ap.
pearancs Of our proprietary U. s. Revenue
stamp, but upon inspection will disclose the
absence of the figure H." and the words -four
cents" also "Urited States Internal Revenue, ("
all of which, together with additional wording,
appear on our genuine stamp. The public are,
therefore especially warned against these new
'CoUNTERFEITs, and are advised to purchase Hos
letters Stomach Bitters only of houses whose
integrity is above suspicion. The true specific

Pork Raising Rnriching sur Far


There can be no question bat that
farmers who have made speciality of
pork-raising for several years past,
have done WE'LL particularly SO when
good breeds Of hogs have been kept
and the feeding attended to wisely and
" economically. Whether pork will con
"a tinue TO command, in the future, such
q paying prices, cannot with certainty be
. lfdretold. But owing to the continued
large demand of bacon, etc., Oh the part
q of the South, farmers may reasonably
expect that fair paying prices will, at
least be kept up, -.
-, just now there promises to be a
Z greatly increased impetus given to this
., most lucrative business. The introduc-
ton Of the Early Rose potatoes is some
thing of no small moment, and bids
fair to be worth millions of dol lars to
the country. From all accounts re-
dceived, in regard to this wonderful po.
tatc, its average product per acre, may
fairly be estimated at not less than three
hundred bushels. As the crop ripens
in this latitude in June, the farmer may
commence boiling his potatoes and
feeding them to his hogs by the first of
July, continuing to so feed until he
first or middle of September; at which
period his corn will be ripe enough to
be used Ter feed, But his hogs being so
far advanced in the fattening process,
the length of time necessary in which to
feed corn need not be over thirty or
forty days. BY pursuing this plan the
farmer, who has heretofore raised corn
sufficient to fatten twenty hogs every
year, may in the future fatten FORTY
hogs, and thus the hog product of the
go country be immensely increased, and
the wealth Of the farming class be pro-

THE RAILROAD BABY.
startlisg Denouement ON the Mich
B.. "a gan SontheFn Boad.


.-. From the Chicago Times.l
The express passenger train over the
Michigan Southern and. Northern Indi-
ana railroad which left Adrian on Sat
urday morning, for this city, was in
charge of Mr.. c. Baker, q conductor
probably as well known as any man on
the road. Among the many passengers
who started from Adrian was a comedy
looking young woman, who carried In
her arms baby of the feminine gen.
der. In due course Of time, Baker
passed through the train, taking up
tickets here, collecting money there, and
recognizing o dead head" with a ia
miliar nod yonder. When arrived at
the scat where sat this woman, he col
lected her fare-and it is stated that
at the proceeding-and passed on to
another coach.
When the train arrived at Hudson,
the woman stepped off the cars, but
very singularly left the baby lying on
the seat, Several passengers noticed
this, but supposed she would speedily
return. Imagine their astonishment
when the whistle sounded for "off
brakes" the bell rang, sudden jerk,
the train was rapidly moving, but the
mother was left at Hudson.
Search was at once instituted for
Baker, "for, of course" said these I'M
sophisticated travellers" "the conductor
will back up the train and convey back
the forgotten infant" Presently he was
found, the sleeping baby was pointed out
to him, and he was urged to back the
train. This was his reply, "Couldn't
think of it; behind time now; much as
my place is worth to do anything of the
kind; will put the little devil in good
hands at the next station" Baker also
gave it as his opinion that the infant
had been purposely abandoned, and re-
commended raising purse for its bene-
fit. The idea was good one, and re-
Elected credit upon the magnanimous
conductor. A paper was soon in circu-
lation, and Bakers was the first name
down. By the time Pittsford was
reached the matter had been settled,
and, with one hand full of money and
the baby in the other, the conductor
stepped into the depot, told the circum-
stance, described the appearance of the
woman, and left the baby and money in
the hands of q good man, who promised
to find the mother as soon as possible.
And now comes the most mysterious
part of this singular affair. The man
at Pittsford started forthwith to Hud-
son, where he put himself in communi-
cation with an officer. Together they
searched the town. They found the
woman, and forthwith arrested her.
Rut when takan hafoPa n Tustica If Tho
Peace. she told q story which showed
that the little innocent had net been
left on the train without a natural
guardian to care for it. When this
story came to the ears of an old lady
living in South Bend, who was on that
train, she remarked: "Wall. now; /
thought ERE baby was picter of that
good looking conductor man."

OUTRAGES IN CUBA.
vengeance of Husbn n Il.

The Havana correspondent of the New York
Times gives the following account Of recent
ou!rages in Cuba by brigands, and the ven
geance taken upon two of them hy an Amcri-
can engineer whose wife they had cruelty mall
treated:
Sometime during the month of May, party
OF Eve robbers appeared at plantation, pos
sessed themselves of several good horses, TAX
ing also various articles OF clothing belonging
to an American engineer on the plantation, and
then disappeared. The eng ineer, who was in
Havana at the time, became furious ion his re.
turn, and INDUCED in severe threats against
the perpetrators of the ro5beries. Some
friend of the bandits communicated these
threats to them. and few DAYS later they
again appeared, took the eDgineer by SURPRISE
tied him hand aud foot, and then proceeded to
lash him with whips and thongs until the man
had tainted three times from loss OF blood and
pain. They then tied him up on chair before
his dwelling, and Two of the number walked in
to the house and violated his wife. Since then
the engineer has been almost maniac and
bent on revenge.
Last Friday he received information that
the two bandits were then at a nelghboring
plantation, and without advising anybody OF
his intention he armed bimself and had the
good fortune to find both Of them lying on the
Aoor IN an lnebriate condition. To tie them up
and rouse them sufficiently to understand the
situation occupied but little time, aud with
the help Of some negroes he brou 5ht them to
his own place. ordered fires to be lit, and then
threw both of thom into big sugar kettles tiled
with water, which soon began to boil Tn
men lived fifteen to twenty minutes until the
water began to boil. Their attempts to throw
themselvis out of the kettles, and their de-
mand 1or water and cries for pity were heart
rendine. but their execationer took q 6endish
delight in thrc wing in occasionally little cool
water, which, however, in moment began to
boil again. At the end Of twenty-five minutes
both had ceased to exist. When the fact was
mentioned to the CAPTAIN General be remark
ed, 81 don't gish to know it,, and it such
thing has happened fully approve OF it as
man, but as Captain-General. have so Tar no
knowledge of the matter. Beasts in human
shape mnst be treated as Seasts. although
the punishment was inhuman and cruel" and
so the matter rests. The engineer has re.
turned to his plantation, and swears not to rest
until he has caught the other three. Some
Spaniards attempt to call these bandits insur.,
gents, but this IS mere subterfuge, as all Of
these robbers were criminals long before the
war, and exercised their nefarious professions
then and since without the least reference to
politics, and iu addition, these bands are COM
posed OF Cnbans, SpanIards and negroes.
