To Suppress these, in Is5S-6I-62 ex-

and Spain, the result being the ces-
sion to France of territory and the
signing of a treaty giving France

two servants of a French priest and
3 native Christian, throwing their
bodies into the river. Three Christ
ian villages we're fired, all the inhab-
itants that could be found were mas
sacred, and those that fed were next
day tackled by bloodhounds and
burned alive. Other villages were
attacked and burned, their inha5i
tants perishing in the flames, eut
down with swords, or thrown into
the river. In some pieces they took
entire families, father, mother, and
children, tied up in a bundles with
bamboos, and drew them into town,
A mission containing about ten
thousand souls was thus wiped out
Of existence. The priest of another
mission a village of over four thous-

hundred killed, and the remainder
scattered. In the village where the
priest lived the Christian were for
bldden to leave their homes. A few
women went out to get food to keep
their children from starving and
were at once beheaded, and the work
of slaughter commenced. The priest
was busy hearing confessions and
absolving those who expected death
every moment. At last the priest
and some of the villagers fed for
safety to the coast and took refuge
in a coasting junk. Of those who
renamed, the men were all behead-
ed, but the women and children were
spared. Later news, just received,
say that in one bishopric ten thous-
and persons, or one-eighth of the
whole number of Christians, have
already been massacred and the
work of butchery still goes on, the
Bishop himself, who sends the news
expecting to fall victim.

tice, that Of Mr.. E. F. Hafford, who hrs held
his own steadily since he first embarked, lover
% years ago. on the same lot. In 1851 Mr.
Haford purchased a quarter Of an acre, where
his factory is yet run, upon which was rude,
one-story building, with no better prospect in
front Of it than an orchard, where the Ball
House Hotel now stands, and even surround
ings Of a far less interesting character. He
soon fell to work and by care and attention
found a growing business reWarding his ener-
gy. But in 1858 dire reverse befel him in
the loss Of his shop by fire-incurring a loss
Of some S2,000-which to one SO young in
business was no uncomfortable blow. But
with inherent pluck he lost no time in replac-
ing his old shop by the present one-Which
when new was in those days creditabls COM
parison with the city architecture. And here,
with steady will and fixed purpose in view
he has ever since remained AMI prospered
with no higher ambition than that of merit
ing by honest and liberal trading to secure
eventual success. And to his honor, NAV il be
said, fortune has indeed favored him. Not
only does he remain at his post, but has Sc
cured a large and influential connection in
this and the adjoining counties, where Hat
ford's name has become proverbial, not only
for the best workmanship, but the soundest
material. His business is exclusively in light
work, and as a rule, with corps of twelve
hands he keeps up steady trade, year in and
year out, making or repairing to order, with
little disposition to witness standing or ac-
cumulating stock to attest to his handi-work-
it being rarety for him to have two or three
buggies on hand. His smith, Jaeob Magrum,
is tried servant with him of over 81 years
standing-true as steel-snd the majority Of
TIE other employees are Of six OF eight years
experience in the firm. In addition 70 new
work everything in the way of repairs receive
prompt and careful attention. Mr.. Hafford is
a genuine type of the good old trader who
contributed so largely in the first to build up
the trade Of our city-his work ever was, and
still is beyond a question-and thus in his ac-
cOStomsd happy disposition we found him
quietly pursuing the even tenor of his ways"
doing the square thing-and perfectly con-
tent to reap that success which might continue
to attend his old but certainly highly com
mendable policy. Neighbor Hafford, long
may you continue to prosper.

There is a class Of newspapers
which are not mentally capable Of
understanding that the release Of the
bank reserve would be an increase
Of the active circulation, but would
not be imitation in the sense contem-
plated by Merton, Logan and their
confreres in Congress. It seems
necessary, therefore, to explain once
more, for the benefit of the Cleve-
land Herald. Mr.. John Hopley's
paper, and one or two others, that
what is known as the bank reserves
are legal tender notes already issued
and slowed away by Ghe banks as
security for their circulation. The
responsibility Of the government for
those legal tenders is just the same,
whether they are issued for active
use as currency or kept locked up as
at present. For various reasons
that we have again and again eX-
planned, it is now thought that the
national bank notes are sufficiently
secured by bonds, ect,, so that the
legal tender reserves might safely be
SET free. Inasmuch as so many peO-
pie are elamorous for more active
currency, the Leader has advocated
the release Of the reserves, because

After the above explanation which
the Leader has arisen to make, it
would Of course be out of order to
raise question as to its soundness,
butAt the risk of being called to or
der we cannot help remarking that
It's explanation is not all light. We
would PROFOUND a conundrum. If
the establishment of free banking
hould result (under the reserve
-lause) in requiring all the legal
ender notes which have been issued
be held as bank reserves, how
much would it increase the respon-
ibility Of the government No
one iota; but the quantum Of circu-
lation would be materially increased
and the condition of the country bet
tered, It's own bonds (for which it
Is already responsible, J would be de-
posted to secure q circulation
from which it would realize
a tax of one per cent, while the
greenbacks for which it is already
responsible would be held as reserv-
es in banks. With the banks would
rest the duty of procuring the legal
tender notes from those in circula-
to hold them as reserves, substltu-
ting for them National Bank curren-
cy, and not one particle Of additional
responsibility would rest with the
government. In this way, every
dollar Of the circulation would be
secured by a species Of property

admitted was worth more than gold
