"FERpING THE FRENCH, ~ nder TINS
caption, we find the following item in
the Baltimore papers of last week.
"The French will have to rely upon
foreign countries almost entirely until
the next harvest for their breadstutfs.
Large orders are now coming to this
country to supply the deficiency occa-
stoned by the war. One firm IN New
York city received an order from Havre,
on Saturday, for $4,000 barrels of flour
AS our county is peculiarly wheat
growing and wheat producing one, this
news ia decidedly welcome to its peo-
pie. We say its people advisedly, and
not its farmers alone, because when the
latter received good prices for their
grain crops the beneficial effect is felt
bv all classes. The exchange against
the county is lessened, if not equalized,
or what is better still, balance left in
its favor, which never fails TO, and
which, in fact, alone can produce al
easy money market. 1t is true, that
good deal of it has been sold 1t lower
figures, but if the foreign demand con-
tinues. the average sales may reach 81 so
per bushel, and this would certainly 60
far to relieve our people from the none
tary pressure which has been resting
upon them like an incubus for the last
eighteen months.
So general has the public confidence
become in DR.. Ayers medicines, and so
great the demand for them, that unprln-
cipled villains are attempting to deceive
the unwary by imposing upon them their
worthless nostrums under similarity OF
name. Cherry Peetoral Lozenges, DIR.
Ayers Troches, Ayers Pastiles for
Coughs, Cherry Pectoral Cough Drops,
Ayers Fever and Ague Cure, Doct.
Ayers Indian Pills, &c, &c, (none OF
which are of Dr. Ayers manufacture or
composition) are specimens Of this vii
lainv and deceit They not only defraud
the sick of their money but of their
health, or the recovery of their health,
which is far more important than
money. From actual counterfeits the
people are protected by law which the
Doctor promptly enforces, but these
evasions sometimes elude the law, and
purchasers must protect themselves by
refusing to be deceived by them.-Do-

CHICAGO, October 3O.-The Tribune this
morning makes an appeal to the generous
in behalf Of the sufferers by fire in Wiscon-
sin, Michigan and Minnesota. Probably
fifty thousand people in Northern Wiscon-
sin and Michigan alone have been stripped
Of every earthly possession by these fires.
Many Of them have also been rendered sick;
necessarily make them objects of charity
for some time to come; unfortunately, too,
where whole families and whole commune
ties were involved in the common ruin,
there are no neighbors or relatives, on
whom, as in Chicago, some of the sufferers
can fall back for assistance. They can
merely flock in masses to the nearest towns
unscathed by the flames, there to starve or
freeze, unless timely aid arrives. This
should, for humanity's sake, he prompt and
copious. Money and clothing are the ar
ticles most needed, and the governors of
Wisconsin and Michigan are the most appro-
pirate channels through which aid can be
administered.

Academy Of Music.
Another good audience assembled last
night 1t the Academy Of Music to witness
Zip Van Winkle," as performed by Mr..
Mckee Rankin. In many parts Of the play,
Mr.. Rankin il quite up to the standard
created by Jefferson, and the interest 10
kept up from beginning to end. Mr.. Rankin
- Rip Van Wrinkle carries the audience
through the drama, and enlists their atten-
ton and sympathies to the last. Miss Kitty
blanchard AZ Christine, the wife and mother
neglected by the careless, lazy and i'm
prOvident husband, Rip, can not much inn
prove upon that character. The support is
much better than in ordinary productions
Of the same play. This evening the military

The whole of the French opera troupe has

route, the remainder via New York. Due
notice will be given of the time the initial

The Board of School Directors held their
regular monthly meeting last night, Judge
H. C. Dibble in the chair.
The committee ON teachers made . re-
port, which was approved.
The committee on schoolhouses made
report of expenses incurred in repairing

absence from duty, except during regular
vacation.
A resolution reported providing that
teachers absent from duty, and requiring

Thomas Lynne, who offered the following
resolution:
RESOLVED, That from and after this date
all teachers of the public schools who shall
absent themselves from their duties during
school hours shall receive no pay during
such absence, and supernumeraries per-
forming the duties of absent teachers shall
be entitled to and receive the pay to which
the regular teachers would have been en-
titled had they not 40 absented themselves.
The resolution was intended to apply to

substitute was rejected and the original
resolution adopted.
Mr. Hahn suggested that two new pianos

N0eO@~D 49, A~OeoeS
We reproduce Washington special to
the Louisville Ledger, q Democratic
journal:
WASHINGTON, October 29.-St0kes. the
ex-conereesman, will not submit to his
being catechised - to his connection with
the Tennessee bounty frauds, but has pre-
pared o written statement which he reads
to every inquiring newspaper man, after
pressing the hope that his personal dis
grace may not attach to his two sons in
Tennessee, who never swore an oath, OF who
can mot tell whisky from water.
The following facts can be gathered from
thus written statement: He admits that he
engineered Captain Brittishs claim through
Congress, and be says he had right to do
90. and did not charge anything for his
services; but after the bill lad passed both
houses it stuck in the war department,
and its provisions were entirely disre-
garded.
This misfortune called for more work,
and his congressional aid smoothed over the
difficulties and put the claim on the road to
payment. For this timely assistance he re-
ceived twenty-five hundred dollars. He
went to Tennessee and expected to hear
nothing more of the matter, but while there
two Of the agents who were employed to
settle the claims came to him and insisted
upon his receiving five thousand dollars
more, as they were realizing handsomely
out of the transaction. This sum Stokes also
pocketed, still thinking there was nothing
wrong OF illegal about it. Finally, some Of
the claims got into trouble in the Second
Auditors office. There was something
wrong about the papers, and the payment
to the claimants under this bill was stopped.
Stokes assistance was again demanded.
Last August he came on to Washington
again in the interest of Beatty's company,
and through his personal influence and his
knowledge of officials, again removed the
obstacles to the complete adjustment Of the
bounties.,
For the third time he received fee, it
being ON this occasion twenty-five hundred
dollars, and there he supposed the matter
would end.
He can not imagine why the government
should have ordered his arrest, or why the
President should add to his misfOrtunes by
removing him from his Tennessee collector
ship. He thinks his military record and
his past services to the Republican party
should plead trumpet-tongued in his behalf.
The Solicitor General now has all the
papers ready in this case, and it is not an
ticipated that there can he any defense to
the mass Of evidence in possession Of the
which goes to criminate all the |
parties engaged in this swindle.
