RATHER FIsHY. There is nothing
like going away from home to hear the
news, as will be seen by reading tue fol-
lowing very nicely told and highly sensa-
tional item, copied from the last GAINESVILLE
Weekly Gazette. We have made the most
thorough and rigid inquiries regarding this
reported Watertown. victim, and can find
no clue to him. The Gazette has either
been sold or has made desperate attempt
at selling its readers, as we'll as startling
our community
A gentleman from Wafertown was made
the victim of an old confidence game on
the ssup train from Chicago, last Friday
Two genteel appearing rascas nude his ac-
quaintance in the smoking car aud entered
into conversation. On nearing Waterfowl
one of the twain remarked to the other
that, as he was going on to St. Paul, he
would like little money. No. 2 looked
into his pocket book and was sorry to fud
no money there, but if his partner could
wait over one train he would supply him,
as be had a check for one Thousand dollars
on "a Watertown bank. No, couldn't
wait-hasihess was imperative. In this di-
lemma their newly found acquaintance, the
Wstertown man, was Appealed to Tor
loan, and offered the one thousand dollar
bank check as security. He was willing TO
accommodate his friend, of course, ana
gave them all the moaey he had, amounting
to seventy five dollars, taking the check for
security. Naturally enough the nice young
men didn't stop at Watertowu They had
business in another direction The check
proved worthless, the man WAS swludied and
the rogues escaped.

A Coop HT. A very extraordinary
skeleton vas recently exhumed in the sub
urbs of Moor olesville, Indiana, which excited
considerable interest in the community as to
its identity. The Chicago Post claims, on
the strength of it's information, that the
skeleton is clearly that OF Old Nick-that
4" he must have died in Indiana while on a
- visit to the Democracy there, and was
" probably buried by Dan Voorhees,, or some
'' other grateful friend The frame of the
exhumed thing, whatever it is, is said to
have some resemblance TO a human being.
It measures > feet 10 inches in height. The
skull is quite depressed in front, having two
protuberances or horns just above the fore
head, curving backward. The arms are
long The spinal bone is of remarkable
length, and terminates in q tail about foot
in length That's the fellow lexclaims

The Tribune says: A Canadian vessel
has been refused permission to pass through
the Sault Ste. Mari Canal. We are not
told that the vessel was loaded with military
supplies, or that she was in any sense a part
OF the expedition sent to suppress Riel's
rebellion but the refusal of the Customs
off GER to allow her to continue the voyage
could have been properly based on no other
grounds. We are, therefore, left to infer
that the United States Government propo
ses to maintain a strict neutrality in the
affair. At the same time there is no longer
moving through Minnesota to join Riel
in Winnipeg or Mapitoba. What will the
Government do with these?

SKILL OF CoUNTERFEITERs.- Rs.-The De
troit Post records the wonderful skill OF
counterfeiter named John b. Trout, now
serving out sentence in the Indiana State
prison, who was brought on TO that city as
a witness before the United States court to
show the connection of the johnson family
with the counterfeiting business in Indiana
from 1866 to 1861 Trout went into min
ute description of the process of engraving
plates and printing notes. and the uses OF
the various implements seized IN johnson. S
house. But the most wonderful exhibition
of his skill was in telling the name of the
engraver OF plate by examination OF a bill
printed from it. He was thoroughly famll-
lar with the work of all the engravers.
He detected counterfeit from genuine
bill at glance. He readily designated as
counterfeit an issue which even the treasury
department took as genuine for some time
before detecting as false, the department
then being obliged to cancel the genuine Is
sue because the false was nearly perfect.
The United States Marshal has book con-
tanning samples of ali the counterfeits yet
issued. Trout looked at these bills and told
the cngraver correctly each time with very
little examination Trout could not de-
scribe the process by which he distinguish
cd these various bills, but spoke of 1t as an
indescribable instinct.

The ''NEw PARTY" MISTAKE Certain
editorial gentlemen who visited this city
recently have free trade on the brain, and
labor under the impression that they can
build up new party based entirely upon
that doctrire. They held public and private
conferences, were fattered and complimen-
ted by Democratic politicians, and feeling
assured that they were about to accomplish
great things and astonish the world, return
ed to their respective homes in high state
of satisfaction.
The idea of new party to be formed upon
the free trade principle Is exceedingly CRATE
ful to the Democratic mind. They know
it will not take one man from the Democratic
fold, and that the Republican gudgeons who
swallow the bait will find themselves on the
Democratic string The movement is in
every respect for the benefit of the Demo
cratic party, and this is so obvious that 1t
would require vast amount Of charity to
suppose that the editorial gentlemen in
question do not understand and desire such
result
But we predict It's utter failure. The at
tempt will be made, and while in some
localities it may injUrc the Republican party
temporarily, in others it viii be substantially
strengthened. and the principal consequence
will be that few journals now nonljnally
Republican will find themselves in the Demo
cratic party, which to Republicans viii be
good riddance and great gain. Come, gentle
men, move on The sooner you sail under
your true colors the better for the country
and the Republican party Wash. Chr0n-

TIE OLD REBEL SPIRIT..-1t is pitable to
observe the frantic efforts being made by the
rebel element of the South to obliterate the
record which the country and indeed the
civilized world have written against them
to stem the tide of the 10Th century which
is flowing in upon them. The Confederate
rebel General Gordon recently lectured IN
Savannah, and seems to have dwelt chleny
upon the subject OF Northern school books.

THE BRrrrsH NATURALIZATION REFORM.

THE BRITIsH NATURALIZATION REFORM.
Great Britain, first by treaty with Hon.
Reverdy johnson, aud now by statute,
originating in the House Of Lords, and since
concur,ed in by the Commons, abandons the
old decree Of ''once a subject, always 2 sub
ject - The new order provides that British
subjects naturaizsd in the United States,
and United States citizens naturalized in the
United Kingdom, are free from primitive al
legiance 1t also removes many disabilities,
and gives adopted citizens tire right to hold
and convey land, enter Parliament. and
become members of the Privy Council.
The absence of the first concession led to
the war of 1872, and the latter is liberal
almost beyond precedent in Europe.

FINANCIAL REcoNTRE.-The "bulls''
and bears of Wall street had another
lusty encounter on Thursday last, and the
Stock Exchange experienced degree Of
excitement not felt since the great bear"
victory of September last For some time
past the bulls have been gradually
rccuperating, and had gained such strength
and ascendancy as to be utterly regardless
of the bears in appreciating all kinds of Sc
curities and so much so that the high road
to fortune seemed to consist in buying any
thing on the stock list. On Thursday last.
however, "a change came o'er the spirit of
the dream, and the innocent but infatua-
ted outsiders who had credulously listened
to the Colour de rose statements of more ex-
perienced operators were made to feel the
mutabiity of human affairs, and to expert
ence the peculiar yicisitudes of Wall street,
by u sudden decline in prices, But this. Is
only the repetition of an oft-told tale
when the smoke of the recent battle has
cleared away, more recruits will be furnish

HAIL STORM IN PHLADELPHIA,- A de-
structive hail storm visited Philadelphia on
Sunday a-week, of which We obtain from
the North american some graphic partlcu
lars. 1t says:
The course of the storm was from the
northwest, and it moved rapidly. The first
clouds gathered in the southwest, and NOV
ed northwardly until underlying strata from
the southwest overlook them. The sky was
clouded from the southwest to the north
west, between two and three O'Clock. The
storm struck Philadelphia at the latter hour
ragged furiously and unintermlttingiy for
some time and revisited much the same
area it ravaged at first. There are eight
thousand street lamps in the city and fully
one half have been broken. The conserva-
tories are wreck and gardens have suffer
ed severely The owner Of one mill estl-
mates his loss, by breakage chiefly. at seven
to eight hundred dollars. Stores in which
the skylights were broken, giving the rain
and hail access TO the interior, must have
suffered severely. The churches had some of
their finest stained glass and Illuminated
