The citizens of North Paris, Maine,
are much exercised by the recent un-
earthing OF a pot of money containing
about eight thousand dollars in gold
and silver coin. The facts according
to the Portland Transcript are that
about the 7th of September Alanson
Briggs and son, of Mechanic Falls,
came to North Paris at night and dug a
place in the grain field of Nathaniel
Young, near the highway, without the
knowledge of any one at the time. Mr..
Young and others, few days after,
finding a place of freshly dug earth
covered with raspberry bushes, ap-
parently to hide it, had the curiosity to
dig into it-with what success does not
appear; but the denouement is, that
Mr.. Briggs returned and again opened
the earth on the spot of his first dig
ging, several days after, on the first
moonlight night. After an unsuccess-
to persons whom he supposed may
have found the treasure (Which he Of
fered to divide) that he placed, or knew
was placed, more than thirty years ago,
gold and silver coin to the amount OF
81, 900 in an iron pot, and buried in the
ground on that spot. Persons who saw
the hole dug between Mr.. Briggs's
visits said the marks where rusty pot
was taken from the earth were plainly
seen. Mr.. Briggs visited North Paris,
October 20, in a fruitless search and
was affected to tears at his loss. He
has told persons that he has visited the
spot for years-that he did SO when the
grain was growing this season, but de-
cided not to remove it until the grain
was cut. Residents of North Paris say
that thirty or forty years ago, from the
store of Ebenezer Drake, who recently
died, there mysteriously disappeared 6
trunk containing money and valuable
papers belonging to John Gardiner, o.

knights of the Road.

A new Brotherhood and its mystic
signs have been revealed to the Scran-
ton Free Press. That paper says that
few days since, while tramp" was
trudging along, he met man going in
the opposite direction. They compared
notes. 1t was q meeting of Box and
Cox-jour. printer and jour. tailor.
Both were "fat broke" and were
foraging on the farm houses. The
tailor asked the printer if he had ever
heard of the " Knights of the Road" a
fraternity among enforced peripatetics.
The printer had not, whereupon the
tailor proposed to initiate him and
going into the woods hard by, the
printer was duly " obligated" 1t seems
that each member carries hard piece
of red chalk, and when he gets food at
a house he makes cross on the gate,
to signify that it is the house of the
good man." If he fails to get food an
0 is made on the gate. By these signs
other members are directed; and the 0
is understood to mean that members
may, if their necessities require it, use
force or fraud to make the stingy man
"come down." His cornfeld or
chicken-roost is not sacred to the fra
ternity, nor is his "grub pile" if they
can come at it. Hence, if the fraternity
spreads, as it is likely to these hard
times, it will be we'll for people to learn
the cross of the knights of the
Road"

Fire in a Circus Tent.

There was asomewhat startling scene
at circus performance in Quincy, Ill.
Shortly after o'clock, while the sec
ond act in the ring was in progress, the
can containing the oil which furnished
the lamps around the centerpole leaked
and caught fire. There was flash, and
the blaze leaped upward several feet.
The lamps were lowered, and an attempt
was made to smother the flames with a
carpet, but the carpet caught fire and
burned. The ropes which held up the
top of the canvass caught fire, and it
appeared to the spectators that the CEN
terpole was in blaze. The flames,
famed by a high wind, reached from
the ground nearly to the canvas, and it
seemed that the entire pavilion would
be consumed. When the fire was first
seen CONSERVATION seized a large por-
tion of the audience, and a rush was
made for the outside. Men, women,
and children slid down from the seats
and crawled under the canvas. Some
in the crowd were SO badly frightened
that they didn't stop until they got
home. The majority, however, re-
mained at safe distance away from
the tent to see the thing out. The at
taches of the circus succeeded in ex
tinguishing the fire after the ropes
were consumed and before the canvas

Manufacturing M0ustrOsitieS.

In the market of the world there is
no demand, no matter how absurd, but
can be met with q supply. In the
Middle Ages, when dwarfs and human
monstrosities were considered neces-
sary additions to the retiuue of the
courts and nobility of Europe, as fast
as they were required they were pro-
duced. At first, this abundance of
what was abnormal might seem strange;
but this wonder passes for wonder of
another kind, when we learn what
seemed the freaks of nature were manu-
featured. Children were obtained, and
their young limbs cunnlngly twisted,
their skulls pressed into curious
shapes, and their very bodies changed
into fantastic forms by encasing them
in moulds, which were not removed
until the living flesh had adapted itself
to the covering. When what was alb
normal had become permanent, the
splints and bandages were removed,
and the deformity was sold to be curl
osity in court. The children, as can
be easily understood, suffered greatly
in the manufacture, and many lost
their lives but those engaged in the
business little cared for the young life
strangled, or that the boy or girl, in.
stead of playing in the glad sunlight,
was tortured and racked and changed
from Gods likeness into that of an
ape. 1t was the fashion ; money could
be made out of flesh and blood, and
as long as the market was open, there
were butchers to be found.

while oiling some machinery, got the sleeve Of
his right arm entangled between two large
cog wheels, and was at once drawn in by the
revolution Of the same. Seeing his danger, a
fellow workman seized him by his body and
held him with such power that his arm was
wrenched off at the shoulder. Fred. Egner
made full confession of the murder and
roasting in furnace Of Herman Schilling in
Cincinnati. He said that Rufer proposed the
murder, and his father and himself assisted.
They beat the victim over the head with clubs
first, and then the elder Egner stabbed him
twice in the abdomen with fve-pronged
stable fork. 1t was then proposed to throw
tho body in vat in the lanyard but they
feared being found out, and they dragged the
body to furnace aud showed it in, where it
was found burned to horrible crisp. .....

A Young Slave.

A young man writes "When ill,
two years ago, my physician gave me
opium, and, not recovering health, be-
ing unable to sleep, I continued the use
of the drug, till now cannot quit it ;
without it, become almost delirious.
Pray, what shall do ?"
Well, if you cannot quit it, you
must do as those who have other habits
do-chewing, smoking, drinking-who
cannot quit them. You must continue
to wear the chains. Death will come
to your relief one of these days though
it seems pity one should die slave,
in his chains. 81 cannot quit it. u
Your master is, indeed, tyrant But
some brave men would rather die, than
remain slave. AND, are you coward ?
You are not alone in your misery. Half
the men you meet are also slaves. They
have no hope even though they may
have desire to be free.
Habit habit o thou cruel tyrant,
to hold so many in hopeless bondage
When, o when, may thy power be
broken But we bow our necks in alb
iect submission. We love the master
who cruelty treats us. We are slaves.
We will not be free !-Science OF

How They Treat Horses.

The coachmen in Bordeaux, France,
have for some time past been in the
habit of giving horses in their charge
chlorals so as to make them easier to
ride or drive. The drug acted like a
charm, for horses which had previously
been so spirited as to give much
trouble to their drivers become as quiet
as lambs after few days of this treat
ment. This great change naturally at
tracted the attention of the owners OF
the animals, and they sent for the vet.
erinary surgeon to ascertain the cause
of this sudden gentleness. That func
tionary noticed certain tendency Ic
sleep in the animals, but scarcely knew
to what to refer this unusual condition
when in one of his visits he CHANGED tc
find bottle half full of chloral. WheI
he questioned the delinquent coachmal
as to the use he made of the drug, tn,
latter, after much hesitation, ownec
that, following the advice of brothe
whip, he gave his horses a dose o
chloral every morning to make them g
quietly, and further, that many of tn
fraternity in Bordeaux followed tn
same plan.

Whisky and the Weed.

Intelligent Psychologists and patholo-
gists admit that all so-called medicines
containing alcohol-whether they ema
nate from the regular pharmacopeia
and are called tinctures, or from the
empirical rum mills, and are labeled
"Tonics ARE essentially dangerous
and destructive. The only way in
which drunkenness can be arrested is by

Especially the nerves of taste and the
great sympathetic nerve), and purify
ing the animal fluids and these OBJ
iects are more certainly and swiftly ac-
complished by the use of DIR. Walker S
Vinegar Bitters than by any other
means. Hence, probably, the opinions
now so generally expressed, that this
pure preparation is sovereign remedy
for the evils referred to. Should it be
clearly ascertained that Vinegar Bitters

liver disease, nervousness, scrofulous
ulcers and eruptions, and a host OF
other disorders, but also for inebriety

Investment with Positive Return.

No financial securities yet offered in the
market have become 30 readily and generally
popular as the first mortgage premium bonds
of the Industrial Exhibition Company OF
New York, and there exists many patent
reasons for this marked preference. In the
first place the bonds are placed at the attain
able price Of 500 each, and the return OF the
principal is assured beyond contingency
further, the holder of each bond participates
in every quarterly Premium Drawing until it
is redeemed-principal and interest. The
premiums range as high as 100000 for q
single bond. The next Premium Drawing will
be held on the 7th of December next at
Steinway Hall, New, York. The character of
the gentlemen who have the management Of
this great enterprise i'll hand, is of itself ample
assurance that the plan will be carried through
to successful contamination, and that the in
terests Of the bondholders will be most faith
fully guarded.

Dangerous Amusement.

A Dubuque boy has exploited great
glory by his skill in charming venomous
serpents. Master Maurice Vallanding-
ham-for such is his name-permits the
reptiles to twine about him, and their
fangs he fears not. He began about a
year ago with a rattlesnake, and has
since made LAGOON of himself with
all the different serpents of the region.
He has also set up as Professor, and
has large class of other boys to WHOM
he imparts his secret. Some fine day
there will be funeral in Dubuque,
and it will not be a snakes funeral
either.

JUDGMENT OF Observation-Disclosures
Thomas, the distinguished founder and
conductor of the famous Thomas
Orchestra" New York, ought to know as
we'll as any one the opinions entertained
by musicians respecting musical in
struments. He declares that they gen.
orally agree with him in regarding the
Mason & Hamlin Cabinet Organs as
much the best instrument of this class
in the world. 1t is not, therefore, sur
prising that they are now largely ex-
ported to Europe, commanding higher
prices there than the instruments of
their best makers.-COna.
