A curious swindling project is report
ed from Australia. A deposit of gold
and quartz, recently supposed to have
been discovered in Victoria, Australia,
created much excitement. A company
was formed, and the shares were rapidly
taken and paid for. Further investiga-
tions, however, showed that the mine had
been veneered with gold leaf, laid on
with size and varnish The projectors
of the company have been arrested.

The following facts and figures taken from our

DEPENDENT is the best advertising medium in the
country. We stand ready to show our books to
any advertiser who doubts the accuracy of our

revelation of unparalleled facts and figures made
in recent examination OF our books. Advertisers
will also bear n mind that THE INDEPENDENT prob
ably circulates-th ough news agents, to whom
we make large sales-in many places not mention

stance, that any single newspaper in the State of
Massachusetts, either secular religious, goes
into SO many towns or to so many post-offices in
that state as does The Independent; and the same,
we believe, is true of Illinois, and also of e0ery

fore, in Boston, Chicago, or elsewhere, wants to
communicate with the public in his own state and
UictnitY, The Independent, as will be seen, is by
far the best medium. Our crowded advertising
columns conclusively show that business men in
all directions already appreciate ability to aid
them; and we not afraid to refer lndiscrimin-
ately to thousands of such in New York and else
where.
We mean it shall not be our fault if The indie

country In other words, we mean to merit the
patronage of all good people in every direction
The following figures show the number of post
offices to which The Independent is now sent in

NoTICE.--At a regular communication OF
Washburn Lodge, No. 145, A. F. 81 A. NJ,
held at Masonic Hall, Bristol, Wis, Dec 20,
$50, the following resolutions were adopted
Whereas, 1t has pleased tie Almighty and
Infinitely Supreme Ruler of the Universe to
lremove by death from our midst, our esteem
ed Brother, Isaac Brown: Therefore, i3a7
ReSol0ed, That a notice of his death he
published in each of the kenosha papers, and
that the Lodge be draped in mourning three
months in memory of the deceased.
Resol0ed, That a copy of these resolutions
with the seal of the Lodge be presented to
the widow of the deceased.
H. r. lazy, W. NJ.
j. B. BRYANT, Sec
The above has on the lower left hand
corner what purports to be the seal of
Washburn Lodge. The middle letter of
the Secretary's name was first made B
and then w made over it. On the back
of the sheet was written T" Office Kenosha
telegraph, Kenosha Wisconsin" All
was written in the same hand. We were
not asked to publish the notice and there
was nothing to indicate who sent it, If
either of the men whose names are sub
|
scribed as officers had sent the notice for
publication it would be natural AID
proper for him to ask it over his own
name. And not having done SO, it is
natural and proper for US to suppose that
they did not want it published perhaps
did not send it. The time of the regu-
lar communication or meeting Of the
Lodge, dec. 20, $780," would seem tc
be date not likely to be given by those
purpoting to be officers. What appears
to be the seal of the Lodge would seem
to be genuine. # &
If this was the first time we had re
ceived communications similar to this We
should let it pass without notice-eithel
with or without publication. But we arc
constantly receiving communications
similar to it, We are not a mason
We belong to no secret society
And we can judge of snch com
munications only by what appears upor
their face. Admit that Washburr
Lodge has an exlstance and took the
action as purported; it is still necessary
that we should be so informed and asked
by some responsible person to publish
the proceedings of the Lodge. No one
has given the information or asked the
publication. And we would say tc
Washburn Lodge and all other secret
Lodges and Orders that, to secure the
publication OF their proceedings, they
must be furnished and their publication
asked by some responsible person
