Another Female Blackmailer.

Another young girl has been trying
the black-mailing dodge in New York
and come to grief. Carrie w. Moore,
who says she is only II, but looks Is
years of age, and is very pert, not to say
brazen on the witness-stand, was in
court on Wednesday as plaintiff against
Mary Florence and William Dennis,
whom she charged with abducting her
for vile purposes. She swore she was
going to school on the 18th of December
last, about 9 o'clock in the morning,
when the prisoner Dennis met her on
Sixth avenue and told her there was a
schoolmate of hers in carriage close
by. She went into the carriage and
found no one in i, but was followed by
Dennis, who put handkerchief over
her face and she became insensible.
She next found herself in shanty on
Eleventh avenue, and thence Dennis
conveyed her in carriage to No. 143
West Twenty sixth street, house kept
by Mrs. Williamson, who would not let
them stay in her house, so they went to
No. 152 Sixth avenue, where he effected
her ruin. Counsellor Howe, in a very
few minutes, showed the girl to be a
prostitute. She had already been in the
House of Refuge for nine months, being
found in house of iIl-fame on Greene
street, two years ago. A verdict of not
guilty was ordered by the Judge, and
the prisoners departed rejoicing.

sition may be used: One quarter of a
pound of asphaltum, one half pound
of common beeswax, to one gallon of
turpentine. If found too thin, add
beeswax if too light in color, add as
phaltum, though that must be done with
caution, as a very little will make a
great difference in the shade. and black
walnut is not what its name implies,
but rather a rich dark brown Varnish-

good gloss.

sifted -four enough to make stiff

work into the sponge three-quarters of

biscuits, let them stand on buttered tins
to rise, sift sugar upon each, and bake
in a quick oven. g-r
Remedy for Cdtarrh.-Take half tea
cup of blood-warm water, and dissolve
sufficient salt in it so that it can be

The Drought in Massachusetts.

The Springfield Republican of Monday
says the scarcity of water in Berkshire
is becoming a serious matter. One
third of Pittsfeld is now without water
The frost has penetrated to an unusual
depth on account of the severe cold and
the small quantity of snow. The
streams throughout the county are so
low that many of the mills have stopped
entirely, and others are running on
short time. All the paper mills in
Dalton have been obliged to stop work.
In Cheshire the wells are failing, and
water is so scarce that milkmen have to
return from their delivery routes with
their cans full of water for their own
families, and are stopped by thirsty
neighbors with demand to treat to a
drink. Scarcity of water is also the
universal complaint in Franklin county.
In Conway nearly half the wells and
springs are dried or frozen up, or pipes
and pumps are frozen, and some of the
farmers go nearly half mile to water
their stock. Tucker & Cooks large
reservoir is nearly dry, and they will be
obliged to stop their Conway mills ia a
few DAYS, unless there is a thaW.
