IMPORTANT NOTICE.

To Farmers and Others Relative TO
Ifnf the Dried Apple Market.
The buyers of dried apples wish to call the atten-
ton of the Farmers of Portage County to the i'm
portaice of improving the quality of the dried ap
pies that are being made and sold this fall The
enormous crop of green apples throughout the
country, East and West, renders it apparent to us
all that the price of dried fruit must of necessity
sold low, compared with former years, when there
has been failure of the apple crop in other local
tiles. Hence the importance to producers and
buyers that the article should shoLld be of good
quality. The erroneous impression still prevails
with many that it is of slight importance whether
the dried apples brought to market are good or
poor, as they are used for the manufacture of Ci-
der Brandy This Is not So they are sold if sold at
an as an article OF food and must be nicely pared
and coared to render them fit for such purposes.
We ask our customers to prepare them in this
way, that we may be abe to handle them to our
mutual advantage. Otherwise we have reason TO
fear the result may be that our markets being fu
OF inferior dried apples and no demand for them
they will have no yalne, and this important branch
of trade cut off, We ask you to give the matter
your careful consideration. A3-

a BIG ScARE.-During the Concert at Citizens
Hall on Monday evening", and just after the
Newburgh Choir has commenced singing, a
lamp was knocked from the organ upon the floor
and broken, the oil taking fire and sending up a
lurid flame lighting up the room. at the time
the attention of the audience was directed tn
the choir which was stationed at the north end
of the Han directly opposite the stage where
the accident occurred. Hearing the crash and
seeing the blaze, the general impression was
that the lamp exploded. and there was a grand
rush for the doors and q scene of indescribable
confusion ensued. The fame was however, soon
smothered and, quiet restored, when the per-
formances were continued without further in
terruption. Fortunately no one received any

NOUS Tichborne trial, and, id one re-.
spect, at least, reminding ono OF Charles
Reade's "a Terrible Temptation. ia
soon to be tried at Constantinople. The
story is romantic enough for q novel or
play. and runs thus: There is now in
London . Tnrk, aged about TWENTY-FIVE
years, calling himself Mustapha Djehad
Bey, and claiming to be the lawful son
OF the late Kibrisli Mehemet Pachs, ex.
Grand Vizier. and whilom the Sultan's
envoy to the Court of st. James. In
l647-such is the claimants story
Aibrisli's wife, the widow Of q European
physician, bore to him O son. the pre-
sent Mustapha Djehad Bey. On the
following year, the Pacha went to reside
at the British Court. and during his ab
sence. the child became so seriously i'll
that its mother, fearing that should it
die, her husband would take another
wife. foigned to givs birth to another
child, which, in the knowledge of q
eunuch and q woman of the harem named
Fatmah, was merely a supposititious
child, bought or borrowed. But the
first born recovered, Pacha having
already been told that Heaven had
blessed him with another son. The
mother was caught in the tolls she her
sell had woven, for Fatmah and the
eunuch used their knowledge OF her de-
celt to override aud rule her. The mo-
ther, Melek Khanum, became weary Of
this state of affairs. and confded her
troubles to Reshid Eifendi, the Pacha's
man OF business. Fatmah was soon dis
missed. and the eunuch was smothcred
IN his bath. Madam Kibrisli was tried
Tor the murder, but the charge was not
substantiatcd. The Pacha came to Con
stantinople during the progress of the
trial, and finding things in such state
OF imbroglio, divorced his wife. The
question of the legitimacy of the frst
born then arose, and Alelek Khanun,
aotuated, as she now says, by a feeling
OF revenge for the divorce and the
Pacha's subsequent marriage, averred
that Mustaphs Djehad Bey had boon
borrowed also. Then the boy Diehad
became wanderer, served as a menial
IN Egypt, joined the Papal Zouaves. be-
came lay inmate at the Convent of St.
Lazarre. and when his father died last
September, went to England, and there
proposed to defend his claims to Ki-
brisli Pacha's property.
