A NICE PRoJEcT.-An army officer
who has spent the summer in the South,
and who has returned here, confirms the
belief that the successes of the Demo
cratic party in 1876 will be followed by
an attempt to reimburse the rebels for
their losses caused by Union troops. This
officer states that everywhere through
out the South persons who have met
with these losses are now engaged in col
lecting evidence in support of the claims,
which they intend to present should the
Democratic party come into power. This
officer was himself questioned as TO the
details of the movement of the troops
under bis command in the war, and no
concealment was made that the purport
Of these inquiries was to obtain informa-
ton which might be serviceable in the
further prosecution of these claims.

A CURIOUS WAY OF SHOWING REV
ERENcE.-One of the customs in Russia,
owing to the peculiar relation of the
church to society, is that when at church
even the Emperor does homage to the
priest instead of receiving it from him
How much reality there is in it is shown
in the following anecdote A certain
Grand Duke on going to church was
met at the door by the priest, this being
the custom when members of the ROYAL
Family attend upon the public religious
services, bat the priest was to diffident
to present his hand to the august visiter
to kiss, it being so the custom for men,
bers of the Royal Family at such times
to kiss the priests hand in token of re-
spect. At this the Duke was provoked
and paid his homage by exclaiming in q
peremptory tone, 'Put out your paw YOU
fool.

Two SAD STORIES. The Greenfield,
(Mass) Courier says; William Gui-
nan, well-knowp here as an auotioneer
for many years. died in Springfield re-
Gently. He purchased quantity OF
wbiskey at a saloon in that city, drank
over pint in few moments, and died
almost Immediately. Guinsn was ma
tive of Canada, enlisted in the second
Vermont regiment as sergeant-major
May 20, 1861, and was discharged on
account of wounds, September 30, of the
same year. He moved to Springfield a
year or more ago, where he left wife
and children. He pawned looking
glass to buy the whisky with, which was
sold to him by Gum & Co. His wife
followed him TO the saloon and requested
the keepers not to sell liquor to him.
They took her by the arm, and. telling
her it was no place for her, walked her
out Of the saloon, and sold the liquor to
her husband which killed him"
A poor old man returning atoot from
Boston TO his home in Northern Yer
mont, stopped little time to rest at one
of our hotels not long since; and pitt.
ful tale he told of sorrow and misfor-
tune. There can be, in this world, no
grief more keen, no disappointment more
poignant, than comes to fathers heart
whose daughter has voluntarily sought
the paths of shame and dishonor.
Months ago the girl left home, and her
parents were led to believe she was in q
den of infamy in Boston. Thither the
father went, scraping together the little
savings of lifetime to defray the heavy
expenses of the journey to reclaim his
loved one. He found her as he had
feared, but she refused to return with
him and avowed her determination to
stay where she was. Sadly he left her
and retraced his steps, compelled to walk,
having nearly exhausted his little stock
of money, and through Franklin he
came, vending his way slowly and pain
fully back to his home made desolate by
the loss of one worse than dead, worse
than buried.-Franklin Journal

les than either of the others, is upon
property rights and covers every phase
Of business relations. Wills, contracts,
rules of partnership, deeds, bonds, agency,
insurance, transportation and a multi.
tude of other matters are all discussed
and analysed and suitable forms, where
such are employed, are given. 1t

AN UNFoRTUNATE YouTH.- The
story is told by Western paper that
Bishop Haven took unfair advantage
of gushing youth at Marysville, in
Marion county, Iowa. The Bishop was
dedicating Methodist Church, and So
liciting subscriptions for it when a young
man WHISPERED that if certain young
lady in the congregation would marry
him, he would give $500 to the church.
The Bishop blurted it right out in meet
ng, and the young lady, like Barkis, an.
nouced that she was willing. And now
the young man is exceedingly sorrowful.
Not because his possessions are great, but
the reverse. He can't pay the $500 and
connubial bliss is still one of the visions
of the distant future.

shocking Deed by a Boy.

A very shocking affair recently oe'
Cured at Plainfeld, Conn. The family
Of Joseph Brown consisted of himself
wife aud six children. On Saturday
the children were left alone at home
while the parents were at work in th'
village. At about the middle of the at
ternoon, as the children were at play il
the kitchen, an eleven year old boy wen
to an adjoining room, and taking load
ed gun returned, saying he was going t.
shoot some of them. He placed cal
on the tube and deliberately aimed a
his brother-s child two years old in tht
arms Of a girl ten years of age. He was
told it was loaded, but he kept his ain
and fired the missile. Its effect was hor
rible. The little one gasped few times
after its throat was torn away, and died
The girl in whose lap the child was sit
ting when the shot was fired, was also
struck in the face and shoulders, bal
passing through her cheeks cutting hen
tongue, and knocking out two teeth in
its passage through her mouth. Sever.
al lodged in her face and neck, one in
the shoulder being considered the most
dangerous wound of all she received.
As soon as the deed had been done,
she laid the dying babe on lounge and
babe George run to the the village and
bring his mother. The boy went, as di-
rected, bat instead o. telling of the af-
fair, remained with her till after eight
o'clock in the evening, when both pa,
rents and himself returned home. A
light was struck and minutesufficed to
reveal the sad sight. Stretched upon
the lounge lay the CHASTITY corpse of the
babe, the terrible wound in its throat
filled with clotted blood, while its clothes
were completely saturated. Crouching
in the corner was the wounle ciil, " ~
had prepared rude bandage for herself
which at best afforded little relief, and
for FIVE hours she had borne indescriba.
bic pain from her wounds. Her face
swollen so as to be scarcely recognizable
and she was scarcely able to speak
Around the floor were puddles Of blood
and in the walls was embedded such o
the charge as had not lodged in its vic
Tins. This was the scene where in tb,
morning had been happy home.
The other children explained the mat
ter as best they corld, and George &C
knowledged his guilt, claiming to have
been ignorant of the fact that the weap
was loaded He said he was only in fun
and did not mean to kill them when he
fired, believing that the cap would snap,
and that would be all. The wounded
girl it is hoped will recover. The TRACE.
dy occasioned much excitement and tn G
question is asked whether it was mere
thoughtlessness on the part of the boy,
or is he another Jesse Pomeroy or tn e
New Hampshire boy sonambulist.

A New INDUsTRY.--The active prin.

when extracted from the raw material
costs So rs per pound, is now made from
coal, in Germany, and sold at 81 % per
pound. The capitalists engaged in
the business there have taken new de-
parture by purchasing $4,000 acres Of
land in Southwestern Virginia, the tract
being underlaid with coal of the best
kind for making the dye. The purchase
was made last spring, and the German
firm is confident that it can carry on the
manufacture in this country at profit
which will pay them handsomely.
