A SENSATION IN TARRYTowN-WHAT's IN A NAME ?-Tarrytown, New York, is as tonished at the misbehavior of one of her daughters. bir. W. P. Haskins has valu- able trotting mare which he named Jose phene Mansfield. MT. A. Lawrence like wise owned a trotter. The gentlemen ar ranged for trial of speed between the ami mals, and under sportive precedent Mir. Lawrence must likewise give his mare a name. He therefore announced on the printed bills that he would enter his mare as Maggie Haggerty. On Friday last Miss Maggie Haggerty, of Tarrytown, seeing Mir. Lawrence on the street, procured a whip and made for him in short order. Without word of explanation she Justify laid the blows on his head and shoulders. The man lodged, but to no purpose. Her ire was up and she lashed him until she weried. Then her brother knocked Lawrence down. Lawrence knocked the brother down in return. Along came tailor and knocked MT. Lawrence down. "Tll teach you to name your mare after me and post it on the same bill with horse named Josie Mans field, said the indignant Maggie, as, whip in hand, she stood over the prostrate form of her victim. Soon the authorities inter fered. Squire Mann granted warrants, and Justice Smith allowed the assaiIants thei1 choice between a fine of $15 and six months in the Albany penitentiary. -PougAkeepsit Eagle.

The Amenia Times has the following from
 Sharon.
 The Sharon cornet band, whose perform ances have frequently been heard and ap- preciated in Amenia, gave concert in the Methodist Episcopal church, on Friday evening, when they had the benefit of the services of Mrs. T. Picton Rowe, Miss Belle Terrett, MT. R. D. Livingston and Mr. Finlay Finlayson. The selections by the band were deserving of very high com mendation, and showed evidence of con- scientious and careful training. Mrs. Rowe was heard to particular advantage in that sweetest of ballads, "Home, Sweet Home" in which the sympathetic tsnes of her voice went straight to the hearts of her auditors, evoking that enthusiasm which the vocalism of this gifted artiste so subtly controls. Miss Belle Terretts piano solo was highly creditable performance, while her rendering of the accompaniments to MT. Finlaysons songs, showed much ar- tistic torethought MT. R. D. Livingston gave two Shaksperean readings which were heartily welcomed. To the student as we'll as to the ordinary listener these readings are great treat, exhibiting how by care and cultivation it is possible for one person to represent three separate and distinct individualities. MT. Finlay Finlayson sang several fine songs. with his usual taste and skill, and delighted the audience beyond measure in his droll rendering of Simon the Cellarer, responding to vociferous encore by still more cunning rendition of Lovers q am not myself at all, which was enthu- siastically re-demanded, making the extra ordinary tribute of double encore.

REGISTERED LETTERS. The securing of registered letters in transmitting them from one office to another, has always been a matter of considerable difficulty to the Post Office Department at Washington. Heavy envelopes have up to this time been used, but it was found that these did not answer the purpose fully; therefore, for the great CT security of registered letters, new regis tered package envelope, with registered seal has been adopted. The envelopes and seals in equal quantities will be forwarded together, the seals in separate envelope. The seal is placed on the reverse side over the tapping. Postmasters are required to take particular care of the registered package envelopes and seals. An accurate account must be kept of these envelopes and seals. Postmasters are required to ex. haust all the old style registered package envelopes remaining in their hands before ordering supplies of the new. The regis tered seals must not be used on envelopes of the old style.

Ea The new postal law permitting small dry parcels or packages to be sent through the post office at the rate of only two cents for each two ounces, although not yet gen. erally known and understood by the public, has already created large amount of extra work at the post offices, and is likely to prove universally popular. The express companies are in consequence already low ering their charges on small parcels.

BRGHT's DIsEAsE.-By the showing of the New York papers and the statements of prominent medical men, it is plain that that fatal disease known as Bright disease " is alarmingly on the increase in that city. Ten yours ago this disease was compara- lively unknown, and it is only within the past three years that it has been thought worthy of statistical observation. The sta- tistics for that period, show that the ratio of deaths from Bright's disease, as compared with the total deaths from all other causes, was, in the city of New York, as one in fifty-two.
 Although physicians have hitherto been unable to discover any cure for this terrible malady, when once firmly established, they seem to have at least been able to trace it to its direct cause, and so discover that it is not only curable in its earlier stages, but might be avoided altogether by proper per sonal care. The causes are stated to be the sudden and extreme climatic changes, and the excessive use of alcoholic drinks, so that the preventions are abstinence from the latter, and care in dressing to the weath-

A HINT TO GRooERs.-The Aroerican
 Grocer describes new plan of business
 which has been introduced in the retail trade Tn England to induce cash payment for groceries. It is styled the "bonus system for cash payment for groceries" and con sists in allowing bonus of two and one- half per cent, payable at the end of six months, on all purchases made during the time. At the time of each cash purchase a metal check is gwen showing the amount of the purchase. These are presented by the buyer, and whe Il the time of redemption arrives, twice year, the checks show the amount on which the holder is entitled to two and one-half per cent, and is paid in goods. The firm originating this innova- tion made their semi. annual redemption on the l4th of last mouth, and state that it has proved a great success. Many of their customers who heretofore have been taking credit for periods of from one to three months now willingly pay cash, and their trade has been greatly increased at the same time. The success of this firm has induced many to adopt the same plan.

A HORRIBLE NURDER-A horrible mur- der was committed about Q mile west of Yates City, Ill.,, Monday morning. The victim was the wife of John Matthewson, a well-to-do farmer, who had been married but few months. The particulars as near as ascertalned are as follows: The murder CT went to the house at about eight o'clock in the morning, while Matthewson and 8 hired man were working in a distant field, and ordered breakfast. While Mrs. Mat thewson was preparing it he undertook to ravsh her. She resisted and her clothing and person showed unmistakable signs that there had been terrible struggle for life, When her husband returned, at night, he found her body in the cellar, with the throat cut and the skull crushed. Great excitement prevails here and mounted horsemen are securing the country in search of tic murderer. A reward of 5000 is offered for his apprehension. A man who was near the house that morning, seeking employment, is under suspicion.
