The Patent Right Swindle.
HOW FARMERS ARE DECEIVED BY SIGN
ING FALSE NOTES OF HAND.

ING FALSE NOTES OF HAND.
Among the many swindling operations
of the day the patent right dodge is
largely practiced on farmers, and we
have heard of several cases in this county
within a year. The following note is a
copy now in use by these sharpers. 1t
appears at first sight to be perfectly
simple, and no person wishing to take
an agency for any of the many patents,
would hesitate to sign it.

The Murderer Foster to the Public.
New YORK, June 3-Foster, the condemned
murderer of Putnam, has issued an appeal to
the public, In which he says:-I was tried out
OF my turn; there were others indicted for muir
cause there was no hue and cry after them,
while the public was resolved to have my blood
as soon as possible.
Out of all these, alone am selected to undergo
capital punishment, because mine was sensa-
tional case. No one can doubt the truth of this,
and 1t is because this is the truth, known to
God and sworn to by me in the shadow of death,
that make my appeal to the public. 1 am
doomed to die because q wicked, drunken freak
resulted in the death of man whom l ne more
intended to harm seriously than 1 would my
own child.
The public, perhaps, because it forgets me in
the horrors of my cell, convicted of an inten-
tion which never had as my Creator, into
whose presence / am shortly to be hurled, knows
better even than l do, insists on my execution.

JUVENILE RECKLESSNESS.
Fatal Accident at Morristown, NJ

The Newark Advertiser OF last evening says:-
Yesterday afternoon the contractors for the plac-
ing in position OF the Soldiers Monument on the
Morristown Green, hosted derrick OF some 25 feet
in height for the purpose OF raising the heavier tim
bers for the lifting OF the massive granite stones.
This derrick was placed at an angle OF about so de-
grees, leaning towards the Methodist church, and
was held back by two guy ropes fastened to trees,
while single guy held II in the direction in which
it leaned and this was fastened to the ground by
crowbar, driven two and half feet into the earth.
About p. NJ, after the contractor had left the
ground, some boys came upon the Green and pro-
ceeded TO play upon the derrick Several mounted
by the iron rungs 10 the top OF the derrick and safely
returned. Two boys then got upon each guy rope,
while Daniel Losey, bright Lad OF II, mounted the
derrick.
The fun consisted in the four boys upon the two
guys on the one Lside pulling the derrick nearly to
perpendicular and then dropping It back, thus
shaking the boys on the single rope and young Losey
on the derrick. The continued motion, however,
loosened the crowbar which held the single guy and
at the moment when the derrick was perpendicular
ana the Iuy rope taut, the crowbar pulled and the
tlmoers lell heavily towards the west. His COM
panlons Shouted to Losey to jump, but he clung to
the derricI and was borne to the earth beneath it,
and one OF Ne iron rungs crushing in his chest.
After falling II said distinctly 'take the derrick on
me" ana then immediately died.

THE FRENCH TREATY.
Germany About 60 Annex Luxembur.

Germany About to Annex Luxemburgs
Versailles MAY 16) Cor. of the London Times.
There is one point OF the treaty which may be
modified, because such modification has been left
open fer consideration. The first article OF the
treaty comedies an enlargement OF the territory
around Belfort which is required by France for
strategic reasons. Military men OF opinion that
the TdyOn around that fortress prescribed by
the preminaries OF peace would be insuffi-
cent for an ehectual defense to be made. The
Imperial Chancellor showed himself rather accom-
extension OF the limits upon condition that ade-
quate territorial compensation should be given upon
another frontier point. He proposed that rectin-
cation should be made towards the Ducby OF Lux
emburg, the annexation OF which to Germany is
determined upon. Many Deputies, who possibly are
not strategsts ask whether the strangulaton OF the
French territory which would result from the &C
ceptance OF this proposal would not be more in
furious TO the defense OF the country than the
smallness OF the area left around Belfort towards
Germany. They also ask whether France would
position, and one which while held by II would rem
der the annexation OF the Duchy less advantageous
to Germany and less dangerous for the Northern
provinces OF France. There are doubts in many
minds. Military men will be heard and M. Theirs,
who has taste for and knowledge OF sach mat
ters will be interrogated, consulted, and listened
to- His opinion probably will prevail but It will en-
counter opposition. IL is ndsputable that Germany
being in possession OF LuXemburg and OF the terri
tories which are demanded In exchange for
a small district around Beltort, would
command the Ardennes and would
hold its dehles, so famous in other days, thus
bringing 1.-The seat OF government whether esta-
blished In Paris or at Versailles In too close prox-
unity to an undesired neighb0r, and one whose en-
croachments are still to be dreaded. On the other
hand Belfort is the key TO Southern France and it
ID important that it should not be weakened. Mill
tary engineers VIII argue Tor Belfort politicians for

cannot fail 70 impress still more deeply upon all
FTenehmens hearts the memory of thslE defeats.
