credit for the energy he has shown in putting the
road in It's present condition. think if the town

COUNTERFEIT MoNEY-We advise
our readers to look out for two dollar counterfeit
notes purporting to be issued by the Ninth Ma
donal Bank of the city of New York. We have
been shown three within the past week, which
goes to show that they circulated in this coun-
ty. The bill will deceive nine out of every ten
who handle money. 1t is new, paper white, and
pretty well executed The ink used to make the
red wheel and red figures is too highly colored and
dauby, and is therefore much darker than tho red
on the genuine.

PHILlPsBURG SPORTS. Tho Philips
burg Journal of last week relates the following
"A case of very cool robbery has just come to
light, by which three young men of our town are
placed In quite an uncnviable situation. About
one month ago John Duke, stone mason, came
home from Ansonvillc Clear6eld county, where be
had been at work, with fifty dollars in his pocket
the proceeds of his labor. About the first thing
he did after arriving was to enter the saloon Of
l.. d. Smith, on Presquesle street, near the depot,
and begin drinking. Smith, the proprietor, was
absent, and young man named John Duke-not
a relative Of the vietim--was tending bar. After
repeated doses, Duke became oblivious to outward
things, and laid down for ,naudlin snooze, when
it is alleged Clarence Richards went to him and
took his pockct-book, containing about $40, from
his pocket, and divided the money equally with
young Duke and Harry lmboden. When Smith
returned, the man who lost the money threatened
him with arrest, as il was stolen in his house, If
restitution was not made. Thcreupon Smith un-
dertook to save an exposure by settling tho mat
ter and urged the young men to give him the
money and he would pay Duke, thus screen them
from justice. This they promised to do, and
Smith paid Duke IS toward the amount to pacify
him. But after time he became impatient about
the balance and made information against Smith
before Squire shoop, on Saturday last. Smith
arrested and in order to justify himself let the
cat out Of the bag, and constable Mason was im-
mediately furnished with warrants for the arrest
Of the guilty parties. The arrests were quietly
made, Duke being brought from Clear6eld, and
hearing had on Saturday evening, when all
three were bound in the sum Of $500 each 10
appear at court to answer the charge, and Duke
and Smith also held to bail as witnesses. The
young men, we are informed admit having done
the deed, and they will each have to suner the
penalty, in all probability. II the charges are
proved it will be a lesson to them as well as to
some more young men in town, on whom it Is to
be hoped its salutary effect will not be lost.

To PUT Up SWEET CoRN-I send a
recipe for putting up sweet corn for table
use, in winter, that consider far superior
to either drying, canning or the method
given in the late RURAL. Cut the corn
off the cob, the same as for succotash f;
put it into stone jar in layers, with salt
between each layer-I have no regular
rule, but say, to each layer of corn two
inches thick good handful of cooking
salt; when the jar is full, put plate with
a heavy stone on top. When taking out
for use wash the corn we'll and soak over
night; then cook the same as dried corn.
IIalso put Lima Beans down after the recipe
l took from the RURAL, only I she'll
them before soaking We found them
delicious-almost as good as fresh bean.
I like this method of putting up corn for
the reason It's so little trouble, which /
consider quite an item in household af
fairs.-A LADY READER OF THE RURAL

STIMULATING HOUSE PLANTS The
Boston Journal of Chemistry says: House
plants ought to be stimulated gently once
or twice week. Rain water, so re-
freshing to summer flowers, always con
tains ammonia, which also abounds in all
Liquid manures. If you take an ounce OF
pulVerized carbonate of ammonia, dissolv.
ed in one gallon of water, it will make
spring-water even more stimulating to
your plants than rain-water. IF you
water your plants once in two weeks with
guano water Zone tablespoonful to pail
of water), they will grow more thrifty
Chickens manure dissolved in water is
excellent. Always keep the soil in your
flower pots loose. A common hairpin
used daily will stir the earth sufficiently

FARMERS COLUMN.
WATER THE STOCK.
From the National Live Stock Journal.

From the National Live Stock journal.
We need scarcely remind our readers
of the imperative necessity of providing
stock with abundance of water at this
season of the year, to which animals can
have access at frequent intervals, If not
all the time. And yet we know thar
there is scarcely any necessary duty OF
farm life which is neglected with more
frequency than this. Stock OF no de-
scription can thrive without ample sup
plies of water; and in the restlessness
and suffering occasioned by neglect to
make suitable provision in this respect,
the results of the most careful feeding
and the benefits of the richest pasturage
are oftentimes entirely dissipated.
Pastures should be located where they
can have the benefit of running water or
suitable lakes, for the quality of the
water at this season of the year is a mat
ter of prime importance. Between a
stagnant pool and no water at all, the
former would be gladly accepted by either
man or beast. But as between stagnant
water and pure, there is little question
but the health and vigor of both man
and beast will be better subserved by the
latter. Persons who think that the con-
tents of any swamp hole arc good enough
for their stock, commit a grave mistake
The stock may drink it and live, and so
may the man, but it tells to certain de,
gree upon the physical condition of
both.
And during the hot months, when veg
etable decomposition is most rapid, and
when stagnant water is undergoing active
chemical change, no effort should be
spared to provide stock with water which
is reasonably pure. We know it will in
Vol7e considerable water in the usual
manner, from we'll where a large num-
Der of animals are confined in single in
closure, or to bring the necessary water
from adjacent streams But where the
matter does not admit of compromise by
driving the stock to pure water two OF
three times daily, we believe it is better
economy to draw by hand what water
they require, or to rig windmill for the
purpose, than to force them to drink
from stagnant and fermenting pools.
