The recent census Of the liquor saloons in
New York taken by the police show that there
are in ope ration in that city s,iOa of these es-
tablishments, or about one saloon to each one
hundred inhabitants, including men, women,
and children. Deducting from this number
those who do not drink liquors at all, probably
about one-half,) and the ratio is one saloon to
every fifty persons who support them. With
this census the names of the keepers with their
character and the reputation of their patron:
were ascertained as guide to the board OF
excise IN granting licenses. 1t might be well to
take such q census in this city.

Life in a H0gshead.

About ten years ago travelling tinker
named Remission, well known through
out Picataquis county, Maine, mysteri-
ously disappeared, and fears were en-
tertained that he had been murdered.
But in short time he was discovered
to be living the life of a hermit on a
lonely island on the Moosehead Lake.
His clearinghouse beftted the for
tunes of retired tinker, being in sum-
mer large dry goods box. In winter,
Diogenes-like, he esconced himself in
a'hogshead. He lived on the frugal
fare which dame Nature provides in
that region, and appeared happy. His
clothing bill during the ten years of his
voluntary exile did not amount to So.
His original garments were in few
years entirely gone and replaced by
patches innumerable and of all colors.
His little store of money, earned by
trapping, he carried in a patch on his
trousers. His social visits were limited
to occasional journeys across the lake
to another island on which also lived q
hermit of like habits of life. This sum.
mer Kenniston's friends sought him

A Meeting Of Long Parted Lovers.


An Ashtabula correspondent relates
the following: A beautiful, brown
haired daughter of Sweden was the
heroine of a romance .h..sving its termi-
nation in Ashtabula recently, wnlO.-
throws the ''novel writer's" completely
into the shade, Twenty years ago,
when little fifteen year old damsel, she
was wooed and fairly won by Christian
Hanquest, a bright lad twenty years of
age, in far off Sweden. The parents of
the girl. were of higher rank than the
relatives of poor Christian, and as soon
as they learned of the preference mani
tested by the young couple for each
other, they ruthlessly store their young
hearts asunder," and probably packed
the girl off to boarding school" if
there was such q cruel institution in
Sweden.
Christian bore his hard fate at home
as long as he was able, when, finding
all efforts to see his betrothed fruitless,

mon sailor. After a lapse of several
years Hanquest returned to find his
friends and relatives scattered or dead
and himself total stranger. He was
unable to find even the slightest trace
of his sweetheart. Hanquest had
amassed quite a little fortune in his
wanderings, but his unsuccessful efforts
to find his beloved, for whom he had
labored so long, caused him to care but
little as to the manner in which it was
spent, and finally threw himself once
money or friends, in the early part OF
the year 1872. He was in an English
seaport when he became rid of his last
"red," and shipped upon an American
vessel and worked his passage to New
York. While there, hearing stories Of
the fabulous wages which were paid
sailors upon the inland lakes, he went
to Canada and engaged himself on &
schooner. Here, however, he found
his golden dreams were naught, and
reaching Cleveland, he started on foo
to Buffalo, where several of his friends
from the old country were living.
Hanquest spent the night of the 3rt
ult. at Ashtabula, and in conversation
with some of his countrymen who wer,
employed on the railroad, he inciden

Frightened to Death.

Tereza Cherra was little italian girl
only six years old. We often hear the
expression Enlightened to death" used
in hyperbolical sense; but this child
was really frightened to death on a re-
cent Sunday in the streets of our city.
Probably shewas not unused to crowded
streets, such being the sad experience
of many of the little Italians in our
midst; bat evidently she was sensitive,
and not accustomed to roughness. For
one day she came running home to her
parents, wild with excitement, sobbing
and shriekiHg in hysteric way that
nothing could check. All that could be
gathered from her wild words was that
some man had rudely laid hands upon
her. Physicians were summoned, but
they could do nothing for her the
child would not allow herself to be
touched, but died while they were con-
sulting-frightened to death.

A Double Execution,

Joshua Nicholson and Thomas r.
Hollahan, who murdered Mrs. Mary
Ann Lampley, an old lady aged 70, on
the night of Jan. 2 last, and also rob-
bed the house, suffered the extreme
penalty of the law at Baltimore.
Both prisoners walked with a firm
step, Hollahan nodding pleasantly to
the Jail officials as he passed along
They ascended the steps of the platform
with steady tread, the countenances
of each beaming with smiles. Both ad-
dressed the people assembled, saying
that their sentences were just, and they
were willing to die.
The men then took their positions on
the platform, Nicholson on the left and
Hollahan on the right side of the plat
form. Sheriff Kane then advanced to
Nicholson and adjusted the rope around
his neck and the white cap over his
face, after which he approached Holla-
han, who, as the Sheriff lifted the rope
to raise it over his head, bowed low,
and as he rose received the fatal moose,
at the same time requesting the Sheriff
to be particular in placing the knot
under his ear. The white cap was then
drawn over his face. During these pro-
ceedings the attendant ministers were
comforting the doomed men with words
af consolation. All preparations being
now concluded, Hollahan said in 9
clear, firm voice: " Brother Nicholson
give me your hand, I bid you good-by.
With their pinioned arms and bound
hands they babe each other adieu as
best they could. Both men died quick
ly after the drop fell.

Dangerous Counterfeit.

A counterfeit half-eagle Coinage Of
1879 has recently made its appearance
in New York and Boston, which so close
ly initiates the genuine as almost to de-
fly detection. In weight and color it
corresponds with the legal coin, and is
made up of eight hundred and forty
eight thousandths gold, alleged with
copper and a minimum of silver, its in
trinsic value being A 70-10O. The out
lines of the letters and the eagle are
not as sharp, square, and angular as
those on the genuine. Col Whitley,

Indian Love.

Even the Apache Indians have a
touch of delicate romance in them.
Every young girl is at liberty to refuse
sutton. Not parents or brothers may
interfere in her choice. After a brief
courtship the lover makes formal pro-
posal by offering SO many horses.
Horses are a standard of value among
Indians. As the squaw does all the
work, horses are accepted as ali equiva-
lent for her labor. When young war
rlor becomes enamored, he fastens the
horse near the wigwam of the squaw
whose hand he seeks, where he is left
for four days. If she fails to feed and
water the horse during that time, the
master is rejected but if she accepts
his offer she grooms and kindly cares for
the horse, and then ties him to the wig
wan of her lover, as much as to say, II
am willing to be your slave and do your
work"

A Fish Story.

The Rutland (vt.) Herald is respon-
sible for these assertions: can old
resident of Castleton, who lives in the
vicinity of Bomoseen Lake, was recent
ly fishing in the lake, being anchored
but few rods from shore, when he had
most extraordinary bite and take at
the end of his line and hook. With an
unlimited amount of exertion he pulled
up-a four-gallon jug, with something
inside Juggling at the line. Upon break
ing the jug a three-pound pickerel was
found. The probabilities are, that the
fish, in his early fishhood, being of q
philosophical turn of mind, or being
out on little time, in search of some
thing to make his heart happy, had en-
tered his jug, and being unable to get
out, had remained there ever since, till
he had attained his present weight and
age"

The extraordinary change that has
taken place in Japan in ten years is
hard to believe. 1t is but ten years
since the country was opened to foreign
commerce, and already in Yokohama
and Yeddo, there are many hundreds
of native shops, selling foreign goods,
besides those kept by foreigners. In
addition to this, it is stated as remark
able fact, that large part of the male
portion of the middle and upper classes
dress entirely in our style. Even old
men, too old to sport the new costume,
look with delight upon their grandsons
dressed in hats, boots, and what belongs
between, and take pride to show off in
the streets their "young Japan" thus
apparelled. The army and navy are
remodelled on European systems in or
ganization, arms and uniforms, down
to the common trumpet, drum and fife.
They have stages, steamers and tele-
graphs, and contract has been made
for a railroad. There are two exten-
sive boundaries, with foreign machi-
merry, in the country, and several docks.
As to the matter of diet, beef, the abom,
nation of Buddhism, begins largely to
be consumed, and bread is much liked.
In the heart of the capital sewing ma.
chimes hum in the tailors' shops. A
foreign college in Yeddo has hundreds
of boys studying English, French and
German. Eight foreign physicians in

are published in several places, with
: their columns of Foreign" and "Tele
grams" clipped and translated from
our standard papers. Bookstores
selling English and French books, are
seen in many places; and the quantity
of books imported is immense.

OLD HUSBUGs DfscARDEB.-Thank
heaven, the old-school practice is pass
ing away. Ipecac, aloes, calomel, bis
tering, the lancet, and (worse than ALL,
naedicated rum, have given place to a
remedy, which bids fair to become the
universal medicine Of mankind. VINE
GAR BrrTERs is that remedy. 1t is des-
tined to take precedence of all other
curatives now before the world. The
pharmacop@ia and conspectus of the
regular Faculty contain nothing that
will compare with it. Every day hun
dreds of the sick are emancipating them
selves from systems of treatment which
entail great expense, and do no good,
and are flying to this cheap and abso,

are cured by this pure un0LcOhoNc vege,

A curious battle took place, recently,
at Pelham, N. FL, between hen and a
snake which wanted to dine off some of
the young chicks. The matronly hen
made loud cutlery, and at the APP
proach of the reptile few at it with
rufled feathers and threatening beak,
which it's adversary evaded as best it
could, but finally, after repeated efforts
to secure a chicken and as many rebuffs
by the hen, it crawled off into wall,
and the frightened and enraged bird
clucked retreat and got away without
the loss of single member of her
family.
