A Coon PENMAN There Is q bank
er in Philadelphia, by the side Of
whose handwriting even the penman-
ship Of Horace Greeley seems symmet-
rical and beautiful. Well, this banker
was ~persecuted by a life insurance
agent, who wanted him to take out Q
policy. The victim stood It for awhile,
but finally, one day, he kicked the
agent out Of the Office. Then the tor
mentor began to send notes TO the I'M
happy wretch, explaining the endow-
ment system, and asking II any OF his
aunts ever suffered from torpidity Of
the liver. At last the banker wrote
to the heartless iend as follows !:
"You diabolical scoundrel, II you send
another line to me I will come round
to your office and blow out what little
brains you have =" When the life In
surance man received this, he turned
1t up and down, and held 1t sideways.
and stood before a mirror with 1t, and
examined 1t with q microscope, and
called In six or seven experts but
after all he couldn't determine with
any degree Of certainty what 1t meant.
10 ascertain he presented 1t at the
paying-teller's desk In the bank, and
that worthy, without n moments hest
tation, paid 5000 on It, believing 1t
to be a check for that amount. There
Is one agent less In this city than there
was a week or two ago, and IL more
banker who betrays symptoms Of In
sanity whom the subject Of life insur-
ance Is referred to In his presence.

GREEK MAIBLE.-The Boston jour-
nals announce, as q rare occurrence,
the arrival at that port ola vessel laden
with 500 tons Of white cliff stone, quar-
rled near the sea shore on tho island
Of Negropont, in. the Greek Archipel-
ago. This Is tho first importation Into
Boston of that kind of stone. 1t has a
white, chalky appearance, and Is used
for the manufacture Of an artificial
stone, Of rare beauty and polish.
Mines Of this stone exist in Pennsyl-
yania, California and South America,
but as the quarry In Greece is situated
directly on the seashore, 1t Is claimed
that It can be shipped to tho United
States at less expense than the stone
can be transported from either Of the
places mentioned. The stone Is re-
duced to fine powder and then mixed
with other mineral substances and
moistoned with "blttern" water or
the brine from which salt had been
deposited. In this condition 1t forms
an artificial stone Of rare beauty and
polish,

AFrER THE NORTH POLE.

Sweden is preparing to send out an
expsdition in the Spring, In addition
to those already sent out by other ma
tions, in search Of that mythical ar
rsnpement known as the North Pole.
When they all do arrive there they
will probably find the Stars and Stripes
floating from the top Of 1t, If Captain
Hall, Of the American expedition. ID
endowed with the degree of energy
nationally expected of him. This
business of discovering the North Pole
thus INDUCED In year after year, at Sc
great a cost Of both life and money Is
becoming q serious taxa pole tax
we may say. Yet when discovered II
can be of no practical use except duoi
ously, In the interest Of science. 1t Is
too cold a country for numbering OF
rsnching, and even tho open sea said
to exist around It Is not safely availa'
BILE for profitable whaling, that Is
judging by the loss Of the whole whal
ing feet up that way q short time ago
We hope tho nation which has lost tn
most Poles may find this one, and set
tie the matter.

Dun LONDON kilograms indicate a
strong presumption that the Prince Of
Wales is i'll beyond the possibility OF
recovery, and that his death might be
expected at any moment. Tho sltua-
ton Of the Prince causes great con-
sternatlon in political circles, the more
from the fact that the Queen was wild
with grief and likely herself either to
die or lose her reason ; in which case
there would have to be a regency, as
the heir apparent Is yet but a child Of

BosroN Is no longer the "Tri-Moun-

busily at work cutting down "Fort
Hill, which was one Of the three en-
inences giving the familiar name to
that locality. Washington Square,
which was once situated on the top Of
Fort Hill, was surrounded by hand
some mansions, formerly the residen-
ces Of wealthy merchants. The hill Is
composed Of stiff clay, and mines are
run under the ground and charges OF
powder are exploded to loosen the
stubborn soil, while steam digging
machines assail the mass on both sides.
This ancient mound on which the
"solid men " Of Boston In the time OF
the Revolution planted cannon to de-
fend their liberties, Is now being cut
down, and the soil Is being removed to
fill flats and raise grades, and also to
ballast outgoing crafts.

4 W sss7alDw30F, C0Uuty Horror,

\ family living in Mattamoras, Wash
ington County, Ohio, by the name of
Daley, had an idiotic son about ii years
of age, who annoyed the neighbors con-
siderably by taking any thing Ire saw that
pleased his fancy The neighbors insis-
ted that the child should be sent to an
Asylum, where he could have proper at
tentlon. The parents concluded they
could manage him; SO they got small
chain and fastened it around his neck, and
gave him in charge of his other brothers +,
who drove him around the. streets or
wherever they went. If the child stopped
to lock at anything that attracted his at
tention, they would give him n cut of the
whip and drive him on. When they were
tired of driving him around he was taken
to a hog pen and the chained fastened up
over head so he could not reach it, and
left to stand in the hot sun,
The neighbors protested against such
treatment, and he was then taken to the
house and chained on the porch so that
he could neither sit nor lie down. The
child, being subject to fits, was left in this
condition by the parents, who well knew
that Git was coming on the child. The
father going to his work at the lower end
Of town and the mother up stairs in the
house, when ncighbor passing saw the
child hanging dead, his knees nearly
tonchin9 the floor.

From all parts of the county, from

prepare to bring articles for exhibition
in the Floral Hail. The premiums offer
ed are. of course, no great ihducenent; !;
but the ladies of our county should
have public spirit enough to secure fine
display in their especial department of

just let it be understood that you are
all determined to contribute something
to your department, and we will have a
Fair superior to any ever held in the
county.
There is abundant reason for believ-
ing that outside of the Hall the Fair will
be / splendid success, and it depends
upon you whether the inside shall not
excel the outside of the Hall. =,
Let every lady who attends the Fair
bring one or more articles for exhibition,
and we will have slow that every body
will be proud of.

West Union S. S. Celebration.

The celebration came off on Saturday,
the 81 inst. in beautiful grove between
the village of Antioch and West Union
Church. The day was beautiful and
pleasant, and the occasion was truly one
of JOY and gladness.
A large concourSe, old and young,
large and small, rich and poor, were
present, and were presided over by MIR,
John Stipe, Esq. Be it said in praise OF
all concerned, there was no drunkenness
seen, or quarrcling or profanity heard,
Indeed, it has never been my fortune to
attend more quiet and better conducted
celebration than was that one.
The provisions were abuadant; the
singing and speaking added much to the
interest of The occasion. There are some
noble workers in that School and neigh
borhood, who will finally succeed in say
ing the youth in that community from
the halcrul effects Of the rum (cider)
traiic, and other great evils.
May God speed the cause Of temper
