The day before this happened Mr. Hoofi
had received a telegram from Washington
signed by Henry Asplnwall, asking If he
allowed interest on deposits, and had respond
ed that he did allow interest on certificates
Of deposits.
After MIR. HoofT had read the letter Of In
PRODUCTION, the stranger said that he would
probably have some ffty or sixty thousand
dollars to deposit during the winter, and ex-
hibitcd one check for $4,000 cash, which,
however, he did not offer to deposit, but said
he would call again the next day and deposit
1t with additional checks that he would by
that time have received, and would then pro-
baby want n few hundred dollars for irnmc-
date use. lie then took his departure.
Mr.. Hoofi did not suspect anything wrong,
but, in the exercise of his usual precaution,
wrote 20 Mr.. Coles, inclosing him the letter
of introduction, and making some inquiries.
The next morning he received the following
telegram in reply:
"Dcar Sir,---l thought best to telegraph to
YOU that the enclosed letter purporting to be
signed by Austin, Baldwin & Co. was a
forgery. hope that YOU have not allowed
the fellow to victimize you.
"Iours, truly, c. +. Coles"
Mr.. Hootf, upon the receipt Of this tele-
gram, Immediately procured an officer, whom
he concealed in the bank, to arrest the swind-
Ter when he returned to draw upon his forged
checks, hut the latter, up to this time, has not
made his ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Gazette.

The bad class in London have taken
more to liquor, and, as a consequence,
have burglarized less, during the last
year than the average. Perhaps the
steady warfare waged against drinking

something wonderful. At sixty seven

and the energy of middle age that never

publish new novels. The name of Bull

Disraeli's romance has not been declared.

tOriginal.
Answer 10 ..Iyillie Wild"
By IVAN 1DEAn.
OFT, Willie, have pondered o'er
The days of bye-gOne joys,
When you and l were freed from caro-,
When you and were boys.
Then DER our heads did pleasure ope'
Her .plumed wings of love,
And place within our youthful hearts
Such joyH as live above.
There's much to draw us to the past,
Back to the days OF youth;
Those heeting hours when VIC indulgcd
In pleasures stamped with truth.
Back to the forms that loved us then,
With hearts 80 chaste'd and pure,
Back to the joys that knew us Oft.
In happy days Of yore;
When we were boys and nature plucked,
TO strew along our way,
Tho sweetest flowers from youths pure cline,
That promised no decay.
But, Willie, lookl all! view them now,
Their bloom did wither fast;
Then gather up their sacred dust,
The ashes of the past.
All, yesl the fatal touch OF time
Fly broadcast o'er the earth,
And fingers round each human heart
Fen from its hour of birth.
It gives us youth with all its JOY,
Manhood with all it's prime;
Then lastly, have we crippled age,
The final gilt of time.
Now, have we gained tho second age,
Manhood, a gift of years!
Therefore, lots up and doing be,
And wipe away those tears,
Which strive to flow when memory points
Her finger to the past,
And bids us view our youthful joys
That could not live aud last;
For time is stealing years away,
Defacing natures toys,
And pleasures fade away the came
AS when you and were boys.
Then let's improve each passing hour,
AS fast time steals them DOR,
And do not lose the precious gift
In dI canning of tho yore;
For when, in crippled age, We look
Upon the flight of years,
Reflection cannot dim our eyes
With sorrows bitter tears.

DIARIES IN N. W. VERMoNT.-We
have often wondered at the great amount
of dairy products in this small north
west corner county of Vermont, and we
endeavored while at St. Adams to learn
from the faamers the secret of their sue
cess. They generally attributed it to
their luxurient and sweet pasturage, but
we are confident that human skill is an
important co-agent with the pastures.
The energies of the farmers are bent on
the production of milk, and the farmers
wives are all ambitious to make good
butter and an abundance of it. These
are some of the facts we learned from
the farmers. The cows of the county
are mostly native, bred with reference
to their milking qualities, but with lit
tie regard to breed, size, shape or color.
In addition to good hay in winter and
good pasturage in summer the cows are
fed literally on corn meal and wheat
shorts. The average yearly products of
butter from the COWS of tie county is es-
timated at one hundred and fifty pounds,
though in particular herds the yield Is
much larger than this. In one instance
herd of twenty cows produced twenty
tubs of butter in five weeks, or an aver
age of ten pounds from each COW per
week. A herd of twenty eight COWS be-
longing to j. L. Kellogg of Montgom-
cry, in 1870 averaged yearly product
Of two hundred pounds each. The
diaries Of the county are generally large,
averaging over thirty COWS, and some
diaries count up to eighty or even one
hundred. The farmers formerly bought
their cows and raised but few calves
but the improved modern practice is fol-
each farmer to raise enough calves each
year to keep the number of his here
good, selecting the best mixers fol
breeders. If any preference is given tt
breed, the Ayrshires are the favorites
The pastures this year are unusually
luxurient, while the moving lots ar,
