--On Saturday of last week, four
persons started from New Bethlehem
to go to Greenville, and having a sup
ply of local option with them they
soon became intoxicated. The sleigh
was driven against stump and the
whole party was thrown out. Three
of them escaped without injury, but
the fourth one had his leg broken in
two places below the knee. the name
of the injured man is Joseph Kinder.
He is now lying at the house of Mr..
Wm. Bowersox, in Redbank township.
DR.. b. f. Goheen is attending him.
Mr.. Kinder is from near Dayton,
Armstrong county.

The Dispatch says that on Friday
forenoon solitary wild duck, seeing
a little clear water near the end of
the L. q z. dock lit there and swan
around contentedly. Shortly after
wards, an eagle come sailing over,
and swoopiug with lightning-like ra-
pidity, seized the duck, which made
piteous noise. The eagle was then
within a few feet Of some men on the
dodk, and chunks Of coal were pitched
at it, but the eagle leisurely tore the
duck to pieces with its strong talons,
and then sailing along the bank drop
ped the pieces into the snow and came
back as though TO search for fresh
game. Had there been a gun handy,
the eagle would have Jared little
better than his quarry.

MuTmArED u. S. CURRENCY
Many persons are of the opinion that
Postmasters are in duty bound to Ie-
ceive all u. S. Currency, no matter
how much detaced, for postage, etc.
To settle this question, the Postmas-
ter at Cumberland, Maryland, wrote
to the department for information,
and the answer received will correct
the erroneous idea so prevalent through
out the country. The circular from
the Postofiice Department says:
"Postmasters are not required by
law to redeem, or accept in payment
of postoffice dues, mouey orders,
stamps, or stamped envelopes, any
currency 1ohich may be so mutiIated as
to be uncarreat, nor is it any part Of
their duty to receive and transmit to
the Treasury for retention, mutiated
currency belonging to individuals, ex-
cept as regular mail matters forwarded
in the uusal manner at the lisk of the
owner. Such packages, if addressed
to the Treasurer Of the United States,
Washington, ID. C., will be sent free
of postage, and if the same be register
free Of the registry fee.
The necessities of the postal SER
vice are such that all funds received
by postmasters must be kept IN cur
rency and passable money, SO as to be
Immediately available for paying the
drafts Of the Department, money or
ders, and expenses of the service"

A Row IN CAMP.--A late issue of th,
st. Paul (Minn.) Press, in commentin.
upon some of the recent transactions o.
tho "Credit Mobilier of the Northern
Pacific Railroad" mentions the follow
ing facts: 1t appears that some time
ago proposition was made by the
Northern Pacific to buy out the interest
Of the Puget Sound Company in all the
town sites on the limo. Some of the
stockholders in the latter corporation
objected and the matter hung fire. Nov
the Northern Pacific has withdrawn its
proposition and has determined to lay
ont another Bismarck on site within
FIVE blocks Of the present town." This
causes much hard feeling, aud ths Press
seems TO think it is the beginning OF
long and bitter contest between the two
companies.
A majority of tho Directors of the
Northern Pacific Railroad are stock
holders in the Puget Sound Company,
and from the foregoing facts it is mani
fest that the "rogues have fallen out"
implying that there is lack of "honor
among thieves;" and this accounts for
some of the mysterious transactions in
regard to the location of the terminus
and the prop rietorship of the town plat
of Tacoma. A new Land Ring was or
ganized with Jay Cooke for the central
figure, Rice and Ainsworth for managers,
and Sprague and Smith agents, who
betrayed the old ring into the hands of
the new. That all of these conspirncies
and counter conspiracies 81 ould fall to
pieces by their own rottenness, without
proftting their inventors, is but n just
and almost inevitable result of all such
rasca.ly conspiracies to defraud. The
splendid fortunes acquired by the Credit
Mobi!ier of infamous notoriety, proved
dead sea fruit to al who partook thereof,
and the like organizations inside the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company are
fully entitled to like fate.
CAPT. AINswoETH AS HUMoEIsT.-
According to the Tribune Capt. Aims
worth "larfed consumedly" when told
than Reuton. Smith & Co. had applied
for an injunction to stop work on
the new town plat at Tacoma. The
point of the joke was too fine for us to
see it, unless it was the absurdity of any
private citizen or company pretending
to contest title with the Land Ring to
any property in Washington Territory.
But the Captains last effort fully estab.
fishes his claim to be ranked with Mark
Twain rs humorist. After the bottom
had dropped out of Tocoma, he sent the
following telegram:
New YORK. Sept. Is, 1878.
THEODORE HosMER,
Special Agent, Tacoma, w. T.:
Fred. Law Olmstead is making an en-
tirely new city plan. Discharge the
engineer and stop work until the new
plan is ready.
Proceed with the wharf
j. C. AINswoRTH,
Managing Director.
To suppose that Ainsworth expected
ANYBODY to take this thin device as an
explanation of the cause of the suspen-
sion of work, would be to regard him
as an unmihgated ass. Nobody but
Prosch was fooled by it. He probably
believes that work is only suspended on
the railroad while some fellow is making
a new plan of the read.

ORIGIN OF PAPAR MONEY
The Count de Tendilla, while be.
sieged by the Moors in the fortress
Of Alhambra, was destitute of gold
and silver wherewithto buy his sol.
diers, who began to murmur, the
necessaries Of life from the country
people. In this dilemma, says the
historian, what does this most sa-
gacious commander? He takes d
number Of little morsels ofpaper, on
which he inscribed various sums,
large aud small, and signs them
with his own hand and name.
"These he gave to the soldiery in
earnest Of their pay. How, will
you say, are soldiers to bepaid with
little scraps Of paper? Even 50,
and well paid too, for the good
Count issued a proclamation order
ing the inhabitants to take these
morsels Of paper for the full amount
thereon subscribed, promising to re-
deem them, at q future day, in sill
yer and gold. Thus, by subtitle and
miraculous alchemy, did this caya-
lier turn worthless paper into pre-
cious gold, and his late impoyerish-
ed army abound III money" The
hirtorian adds: "The Count de
'rendilla redeemed his promises like
a royal knight, and this miracle, as
it appeared in the eyes of Agapida,
is the first instance on record Of pa.
Eper money, which has since spread
throughout the civilized world the
most unbounded opulence."

PROFESSIONAL PEoULIARrrIEs.-
A Texas paper has been studying
what it calls professional peculisri-
ties, or the tendency Of a man to
identity himself with his business,
and gives some interesting results.
A New York lawyer is instanced
who, in his zeal to use old Weller's
pet legal weapon, an alibi, roared,
"We can prove that at the very
time we are accused Of perpetrating
this dreadful deed we were serving
out a term Of imprisonment in the
Tombs for larceny" In "Pelham"
the same trait is noticed in the fash
ionable tailor, who remarked to his
customer, "Weare q little narrow
here we must be padded there" !"
&C., while an equally fashionable
boot-lnaker says, "We have q bun
ion on the great, and we also have
corn on the little, toe" The
queerest fish, however, is an under
taKer. He is called in a hurry, and
his coffin happens to be little short.

the night SO as to fit the coffin; it

times; we have been known to set

The same man was given to daily
ing lovingly with his subjects. and
was proud when they look well.
Once he said, "Don't we look nat
ural? This neckcloth needs a little
fixing, and we'll do" And another
time, "Will our friends be kind
enought to take a last look at u.s."
And on still another occasion, on
receiving a body from a distance,
he said "Here we are, eleven days
from New Orleans and sweet as a
nut {"
