The latest dodge which has come to
our notice for the purpose of obtaining
gratuitous advertising comes from Balti-
more. A firm there employed in putting
up canned fruit and oysters, recently got
burned out, and now send slips, giving a
description of the fire and applauding
the promptness with which they resume
business, to papers all over the country
requesting them to publish. Ten cents a
line is our price. gentlemen, for the de-
sired notice, No charge, however, for
this.

DO- Horace Howes, who died recently
at San Francisco, left property valued at
nearly 81 900, 900, but SO tied up as to
make it useless to his widow and child
just before dying he sent message to
the Courts, saying that he had always
disapproved of adjournment out of re-
spect to the memory of deceased members
of the bar, and requested that no adjourn
ment be allowed in his case. It is believed
that his Will will be set aside on the
ground of insanity, and in justice to his
family.

THERE is no reason why one stubborn
Juror should be enabled to block the
wheels of justice, and to preveut this being
done, a bill now before the Wisconsin As
sembly provides that whenever eleven
jurors, ,impanelled to try any criminal case
or civil action, shall agree upon a verdict,
such agreement, duly announced in court
shall be taken and held to be the verdict
of the whole jury.

nA- A New York Paper says: "Many
New York merchants are thinking of dis
pensing with drummers or travelling
agents, Of whom not fewer than $4,000,
it is said, are sent from that city alone,
whose salaries, commissions, and travel
ing expenses amount in the aggregate to
between fifty and sixty million of dol
lars year. This sum is practically a
tax upon the retailers throughout the
country, each of whom pays annually
from $l75 to 5000 to maintain system
which is now declared to involve a need
less expenditure of money. Several
large houses that have discharged their
drummers are reported to be doing as
well as before the change was made, and
to have incurred fewer losses. In his
eagerness to earn his commission on sales,
the drummer will force upon the retailer
goods that are not actually wanted
Whence it follows that the buyer often
suffers, and the seller also becomes a loser.
the liability to loss on this account will
of course be greatly diminished by the
abolition of the whole system, in place of
which many of our merchants have sub
stituted more extensive advertising with
very favorable results.

Bayn Chaunccy johnson one of tho
boldest robbers the century has produced
has just been tripped up in career of
crime extending over many years, and
has been sent to Sing Sing. Many of
his exploits in the way Of bank robberies
are marvels of audacity. Among his bold
operations was the robbery of the Bank
Of North America, in Philadelphia some
time in the summer of 1861. He had a
confederate with him.
They both entered the bank aud while
the confederate engaged the attention of
the teller, johnson, with piece of wire
bent up at one end like hook which he
ran through the iron railing in front of
the desk, pulled out a package of bills
from under the teller's hands and pocket
ed it.
The two then went out on the side
walk to count their ill-gotten gains, and
found that the package consisted of one
dollars bills, in all $S5.
Let's 90 back and make it an even
hundred, said johnson.
Agreed" replied his confederate
and the two re-entered the bank and be-
gan fishing for another pile. But they
were not so successful this time The
package johnson hooked on to was one
Of new bills, and, while being drawn out
from the pile, the paper-rattled sufficient,
ly loud to attract the attention Of the
teller, who at once saw through the little
game.
With the help of the cashier he sue
ceeded in catching johnson, while the
confederate escaped. johnson got five
years in prison for this offence, but was
released at the expiration Of about half
Of his sentence.
The amount of money, securities and
goods stolen by this one man will reach
the enormous sum Of at least 81 ,500,0
and yet he is to-day poorer than when he
began his career of crime. lie placed no
more value upon money than if it was SO
much blank paper, except as it furnished
him the means with which to indulge in
the passion for gaming.

Gs9" A dispatch from Titusville dated
March llth, says:
Our city has been startled by tragedy
the circumstances of which are thus far u
mystery. On Wednesday the body of a
woman, in partially decomposed state,
poorly clad, and with nothing on her per-
son whereby she could be identified, was
found in an unfrequented, out-of.the-way
place, near this city.
The body laid on the bank of a small
stream about two rods below the railroad
track, and about forty rods below Ames'
Mill and across Oil Creek. 1t was that
OF woman about twenty five years of
age. The face, breast and lower limbs
were uncovered and discolored having
been exposed to the action of the weather
and sun.
Some three months since Mr.. Morse
and Mr.. Burdick, of this city, picked up
three or four articles of mems clothing
near the spot where the woman's body
was found, but on the other side of the
railroad track. They were torn and
stained with blood land being found under
suspicious circumstances have been pre-
served. Their finding had passed out of
mind, but the question now arises, have
they any bearing on the death of this
woman?

100000 have fallen on the Home Insur-
ance Company of New Haven, last week,
and hope in continuance of the company,
on any basis, is abandoned. Our citizens
should not confound this company with
the Home Insurance Company of New
York, as there is no sounder company in
the country than the LITTER. The Home
of New York has large capital, we'll Sc
cured with large assets, and there is no
more reliable or safer company in which to
effect an insurance than the Home of New

well to patronize the New York Comany.

THE PORE AND THE GOSPEL

The Rev. n. Cyr received letter
from Rome last week, the following ex-
tracts of which he has kindly translated
for our columns:
ROME, Dec. 9th, 1870.
Here am engaged in proclaiming the
glad tidings of salvation to the degen-
crate descendants of the Romans OF the
primitive church, whose faith was spok-
en- Of throughout the:whole world. Rome,
the headquarters of the papacy and the
last fortress of intolerance, is finally open
I'd to the gospel. The Italians, in pene-
lrating through Porta Pia have brought
with them political and religious liberty.
The Pope shuts himself up in his strong
hold of the Vatican, and Eliminates ana
themas and communications although
he pretends to be the vicegerent and re-
preventative Of Him who was meek and
lowly in heart, and whose mouth was
opened to pardon and bless his Dersecut-
0rs But the thunderbolts OF the Vatican
are like guns loaded only with powder,
which make a great noise, but cause no
harm Everybody here openly laughs at
thenl, people hardly speak of the Pope,
whether he thunders or keeps silent,
whether he is intriguing or restoring. He
is truly consigned with the gods of Ny.
