serve. Some effort has been made to decrease
the line Of liabilities and contraction of a
million and three-quarters in loans has taken
place the total decrease in deposits being over
three and a half millions. The specie decrease
Is about million, and the loss Of legal tenders
ne arly million four hundred thousand dollars.
The surplus reserve has been drawn down over
now with -, ,126 over the amount required
by law.

APERPECT WATER-P "Loun
ger" of the London Illustrated Times says,
BY the way, speaking Of water-proofs, I
think l can give travellers valuable hint
CIR two. For many years have worn India
rubber water-proofs, but I will buy no
more for have learned that good Scottish
tweed can be made entirely impervious to
rain, and moreover, ] have learned how to
make it SO !; and for the benefit of my read
ers will give the recipe: In bucket Of
soft water put half pound Of sugar Of
lead and half a pound Of powdered alum !;
stir this at intervals until it becomes clear !;
then pour it off into another bucket, and
put the garment therein, and let 1t be In for
twenty-tour hours, and then hang 1t up to
dry without wringing it. ..g
Two Of my party-a lady and gentle
man-have worn garments thus treated in
The widest storms of wind and rain with.
out getting wet. The rain hangs upon the
cloth in gIobules. In short, they were
really water-proofS. The gentleman, afort-
| night ago. walked nine miles In u storm oil
| rain and wind, such as you rarely see In
the South; and when he slipped of his
| overcoat, his underclothes were as dry ae
when he put them on. This is, think, a
secret worth knowing; for cloth, II 1t can
he made to keep out wet, Is in every way
better than what we know as water-proofs.' =

OF the resolutions Of the majority report
says that "they (th e northern church) must
purge themselves Of the error in regard to

no!nced year after year, and which, in our
opinion, was So d betrayal of the cause

slept 5000 days, worked $500 days, walked
500 days, amused himself 1900 days, was
eating 1900 days, was sick 500 days, etc.
He ate 1900 pounds OF bread, 1850
pounds of meat, 1900 pounds Of vegetables.
eggs, and fish, and drank 1000 gallons Of
liGuid-namely, water, coffee, tea, beer,
wine, ETC., altogether. This would make .
respectable lake Of 500 square feet surface
and feet deep, on which which a small
steamboat could navigate. And all this
solid and liquid material passing through q
human being in 1ifty years! Verify, there
is after all some truth In the story Of the
ogre who drank lake dry 70 catch the
rugitiyes that were sailing over it. Any man
can do the same--only give him time.
This estimate is, however, made for
Frcpchman for an American we have TO

TO Wefgand's house for the purpose of

lnent obtained against him before Justice

to do about the matter. The latter replied
that he could do nothing, and that the con-

rlected the officer to take the piano first.

barreled shotgun lereled at his head, He
grabbed hold of the weapon, when Wei
gand again attempted to fire, this time with
more success, the load passing into the
right arm of Wheeler below the elbow,
cutting several arteries and inflicting bad
Noiiu. L nc son OF Mt. w heeler then ran
into the room, when it is alleged Weigand
threw glasses at him, but finally he sue
ceeded in driving Weigand back with
Ratchet, when the latter drew q revolver
and snapped it at young Wheeler. The
latter grabbed hold of Weigand's wife. and
attempted to draw her between himself and
her husband in order to prevent the latter
from shooting, and in doing so he tore much
Of the dress off of Mrs. Wei gand. Wheeler,
the wounded man, was removed to the
dwelling of his son-in-law. Weieand was
committed to Jail to await the action of the
grand jury.
The above information was obtained,
therefore, in the absence of any official in
resignation: Weigand, the accused, states
that Wheeler ard his companions came INTO
his house, one armed with billy, another
with Il Ratchet, and the other with chair,
and having commenced an assault upon
himself and wife, he only acted in sclf-de-
fence: a warrant was procured by Wet~
hclmina Weigand, the wife of the accused,
for the arrest of William Wheeler upon tho
charge Of asSaulting her with hatchet, and
he was taken into custody and held to bail.
