A SMindler.

AN enterprising genius is travelling
round the country doing various mer-
chants out of goods by means of bogus
drafts At Indianapolis, day or two
ago, he called at leading jewelrv "

-epcslt on the bank at Union City, Ind,
which was accepted After the firm had
drawn this deposit the stranger made his
appearance at the establishment and
selected $l25 diamond pin, rendering In
payment $3.50 draft from the
Eaton County Michigan Savings Bank
upon the Fourth National Bank of New
York City, which was accepted without
hesitation, and the difference, $25, paid
to the stranger in currency, who soon
after departed and has been seen no
more. The last draft was returned in
dOrsed "no funds" and further develop
ments showed that no such savings bank
EXISTED in Michigan, and all such drafts
are spurious. The same game has been
played in Chicago, and it will be well for
merchants everywhere to keep lookout

Horses in storms.


Avoid as far as possible exposing
horses to storms. When on journey,
aim to feed at the regular hours. If
nothing more can be done take along
some corn meal, and put quart in
pail of water, and stir it up while the
horse is drinking 1t will greatly re-
fresh and strengthen him. Many horses
suffer from dyspepsia; and one great
cause Of it is irregularity in feeding,
and giving too much grain where the
horse is tatigued When horse has
been exposed TO a storm, and comes
home in an exhausted condition, give
him a warm bran mash, put two or
three quarts of bran in pail, and pour on
two or three quarts Of boiling water and
stir it up; then add cold water sufficient
to cool it to the temperature of new
milk, and give it to the horse Blanket
the horse, and rub his head, ears and
legs dry, and afterwards rub him
| dry all over Many an attack of
collie would be avoided by these
means. We think many farmers
err in not feeding their horses more on
grain. 1t would be better to work harder,
or at least more constantly, and feed high
er. OF one thing we are sure-not one
| farmer in ten grOoms his horse suth-
ciently. 1t is shame to man to leave
"A horse at night, after hard days work
until he has been rubbed clean, dry bed
ded, and all his wants attended to.-Fdr

storing the securities of the Lamberton
Savings Bank, Franklin, Pa, which were
thrown into the fire by the insane cashier.
OF $4,000 Government bonds, all were
identified. OF the 100000 railroad
and municipal bonds, all were restored
OF S150,000 notes and bills re-
ceivable, all were restored or made good
by the parties interested. The only loss
Of the bank has been two or three dollars
in currency. When received at the Treas
ury the whole mass appeared to be ashes
and charred remnants of paper. The
experts were Mrs. Davis, Miss Patterson
and Miss Schrimer The time occupied
was five weeks of clear days. The work
was of such delicate nature that it could
not be prosecuted in cloudy weather.

JUST TAKEN HIS BITTERs.-We heard a
seedy-lookiug individual with an slarmingly
red nose remark to a brother soaker that he
had "just had his bitters, but he did not mind
taking another nip.n His remark suggested a
train of reelection. How was it, we asked our
selves, that the word "bitters" had grown to
be "A synonym for GIN whisky rum, and other
alcoholic stimulants, to which it was applied
unfortunately. Bitters, we reasoned, sug-
gested the idea of a healthful tonic not of "A
poisonous stimulant; something invigorating
to the system, not an alcoholic irritant, full of
fusel oil, producing present intoXication and
ultimate insanity, idiocy, or premature death.
Moreover, our idea of bitters was totally
irrecoucilable with "gin cocktails" "rum
punches" and "brandy smashes,n - which, we
are Informed, are sweetened with sugar, and
| rendered doubly injurious with essences col
| ored by means of mineral poison. This was
bitter-sweet with vengeance. We mentioned
this problem TO a friend. He solved ii by ex-
claiming: "Why, don't you know that most
of these bitters advertised as remedies are only
drains In disguisey Topers know it, II you do
not. must make one exception, however"
he added, "and that's Dr.. WALKER's CALI
FoRNIA VINEGAR BITTERs; there isn't parti-
ole of alcohol or fermented liquor IN 1t, and
it is the best vegetable tonic and Alternative in
America"

IT frequently happens that a farm will
not divide well among children; there is
trouble in making an equitable distribu-
tion of the property In such instances it
is well to consider the subject of life in

a large amount of ready money may be
left to the widow or daughter at the
period of ones death; and they will be

EDITOR NEws-Dear Sir: AS an
observer of passing events, my atten-
tion has been drawn TO the working OF
the Musical Union of our city. have
attended the several concerts given
by them this winter, all of miscel-
laneous character, and am nightly
gratiied with the degree of training
indicated by their performances. Sew
eral causes over which they had no
control have contributed TO make their
pecunlary success less than it should
have been. To remedy this, / would
propose that the Union give US q per-
formance of some consecutive piece
some known work, as a whole, instead
OF miscellaneous selection. On con-
sultatiOn find that the services OF
their director have hitherto been
gratuitoas, and considering that this
labor demands a considerable amount of
time and professional skill, and withal
being very satisfactory to all concern
ed, would It not be good idea to have
the Professor in some way compensate
ed (? VIII not the Union see to this and,
or otherwise so arrange that the public
may attest their appreciation of the
varied services rendered by him, to his
own people and also to the public,
both as q clergyman and u musician?
We hear pleasing reports from ali di-
reetions, and / think it is time we
should think of satisfying for IL months
casual services for which he makes no
charge and receives no pay. What
will the Musical Union say TO this :
1t seems to me that it would be good
idea for some OF our leading citizens
to form themselves into a committee
for the purpose of giving Prof. Jones
a complimentary concert.
Yours respectfully, WM. 3. JONES.

that In this part of Lyon county there
Is plenty of coal. As early as 1857
coal was dug on the IA rm now occu-
pied by Rufus Roberts. The vein Is

of the bank of Forty-two creek. In
the summer one can see greasy SUBJ
stance floating on the pools of water
that are in the ravines, having a pc

some talk of mining for coal. 1t may

Shade Nagle has bought Deweese'i

there will be change for the better.
This has been a severe time on the

ONE rHING cas- De poNE.

The giving of direct subsidies to
manufactures is very generally feis 20
be bad thing. 1t don't secure sue
cessful and permanent establishments.
The most feasible and businees-like
plan we have heard IL that suggested
By Mr.. Mcdonald. Il Is the erection,
in n suitable place, OF q large and
plainly constructed building, one or
two stories high, divided into good
sized rooms, and furnished with steam
engine Of say l59 horse power, the
main shaft running through the whole
building, 80 a. to furnish ample power
to each room. The engine to be run
and the interest on the Investment
paid by the rent OF the rooms. A very
moderate rent would do this, and form
a sinking fund to gradually repay the
entire investment. And with judi
cious care, the cost OF such building
and engine need not be very great. 1t
could at any time be sold somewhere
near cost price.
Mr.. Mcdonald firmly believes, from
his knowledge Of manufactures In Sc.
Louis, Cincinnati, and other cities
east, that II such building with pow
err, were ready for use here, that every
room would saon be occupied by men
of skill and experience, who have
enough capital to put in their own ma
chinery and handle their respective
stock and business to advantage. Yet
few, II any. OF these men coaid be in
duced to locate here If they must pur-
chase ground, erect building, and
run their own engine.
We believe the more fully this plan
ofestablishiDg manufactures is investi-
gated, the more practical 1t will appear.
AS our board of trade and city council
understood to be bodies organized
to watch over and foster the material
prosperity of Emporls, we respectfully
suggest this sensible plan of develop
ing our resources and increasing our
population, to their consideration.
The public would like to hear what
either of them think of 1t, and what
measures viii be the most effective in
carrying out the enterprise. Can the
funds be furnished, in whole or In part,
by private subscription, by joint
stock association, or must they come
by voting city bonds?
