A Sharp Bank Swindie.

A wcll-dressed gentleman, who for
Identification we will call Smith, enter
ed the bank, and in a straightforward,
business-like manner, desired the bank
to advance him the sum of $500 on a
draft drawn by banking firm in a
neighboring state. The parties being
strangers the bank informed him that
they could not advance the money.
"Well. said Smith, sit makes no diff
ference. You can take the draft and
send it forward for collection, and I will
wait until you get returns" This was
agreed to by the bank, and the draft
was sent forward for collection. In
due time tho bank received q hand
somely gotten up draft on banking
house in New York, with the proper
government stamp printed in, for the
sum of $500, which account was duly
paid over to Smith, and he departed.
The draft was sent off to New York,
and in few days the bank received the
consoling information that the whole
transaction was complete and sue
cessful fraud and swindlc.

Electrical Phenomena.

The Worcester Spy speak, of certain
electric pheuomena as peculiar to q
house on Pleasant street. BY walking
around the room, and rubbing the feet
on the carpet person becomes highly
charged with electricity, so that, on
touching register or conductor of any
sort, q spark is seen. It is also posi-
BILE to light the gas by spark gener-
ated in this way. These interesting
phenomena can be witnessed in almost
any house where there is a WOODEN car
pet with paper under it. Not every
body has the capacity to hold and give
off electricity acquired in this way, but
it is common, especially among young
ladies. 10 get electricity enough to
light the gas is indeed difficult, and
probably possible in most instances,
only in dry, cold weather, but it is very
easy, after draying the feet across the
floor two or three times, to get q dis
tinctly audible snap on touching the
chandelier. Another form of the ex-
pertinent is to insulate q stool by plac-
ing it's legs in tumblers. A person
standing on it can he charged with
electricity by rubbing or beating him
with a muff.

teenth street. Mrs. Clark was busily
engaged in attending to her domestic
affairs, and had called in Mary Russell,
q little girl, to take care of her little
boy, baby nine months old. A three
year-old son of Mr.. Clark was playing
with his brother and the little girl, and
was amusing himself by throwing small
blocks and other missiles from the cor
ner of the room in which they were
playing to the other. While he was
thus engaged he grasped a small piece
of slate, and without being precise in
his aim hurled it in playful glee. It
struck the baby, which the little girl
had in her arms, on the right side of
the head, and inflicted a deep cash.
At first it was not apprehendcd That
there was anything dangerous in the
wound, but DR.. Hutchinson, who was
Immediately thereafter called, said that
the skull had been fractured, and that
the child could not live. After passing
the night in an unconscious state, the

Charcoal for Sick Cattle.
The Country Gentleman savs:

Nearly all cattle become sick from
improper eating. In nine cases out of
ten, the digestion is wrong. Charcoal
is the most efficient land rapid correc-
tive. It will cure in O majority of cases,
if properly administered. An example
of its use-the hired man came in with
the intelligence that one of the finest
COWS was very sick, and kind neigh.
Dor proposed the usual drugs and
poisons. The owner being i'll, and I'M
able to examine the COW, concluded
that the trouble came from some over
eating, and ordered tea-cup of pull
verified charcoal given in water. It
was mixed, placed in junk bottle. the
head held upward, md the water with
its charcoal poured downward. In five
minutes an improvement was visible.
and in a few hours the animal was in
the pasture quietly eating grass.
Another instance of equal success oc-
CURED with young heifcr which be-
came badly bloatcd by eating green
apples after hard wind. The bloat
was so severe that the sides was as hard
US u barrel. The old Remedy, salera.
tns, was tried for the purpose of cor
recting the acitlity. But the attempt
to put it down always caused coughing,
and it did little good. Half a teacup-
full of fresh powdered charcoal was
next given. In six hours all appearance
of bloat had gone, and the heifer was
we'll.

A Russian TRAGEDY.

A horrible story is told in a letter
from the District of Plotsk, RUSSIA,
giving the particular of a murder COM
mitted last November. A landed pro-
prietor of the district, while returning
to his home with 5000 roubles, which
he had borrowed of a neighbor, in his
possession, was overtaken in forest by
masked man, who demanded his life
or his money. The money was gwen
up, and the man returned to his credit
or's house to relate the misadventure,
and was induced to spend the night
there. On the next morning the host
entered his sons room, and to his con-
sternation saw, half hidden beneath the
pillow Of the sleeper, aloaded revolver
and the stolen package of s, 600 roubles.
In a transport of fury and shame, the
unfortunate father seized the revolver
and killed his son.
