YoUNGTowN, o., Nov. l1.-On last
Saturday morning two coupons of Z per
cent. city bonds, bearing date December,
1872, were presented for payment, which
was refused. These bonds were signed,
dated ami numbered, but never negotiated.

bonds, bearing S per cent, were issued in
their place, and the Z per cent bonds,
without being properly cancelled, were
placed in the custody of the city clerk.
Upon the presentation Of the coupons as
above, search was made and it was found
that $4,000 Of them had been abstracted,
$4,000 of which amount has been found
in the hands of o. z. Wharton, the party
who presented the coupons. Wharton has
left the city. A committee of the City
Council IS investigating the matter.

a broker in Chicago $4,000 worth of Ger
Jificates of Hacking Valley stock The
certificates were endorsed by Geo. Wilcox,
a former citizen of this city and now a

time the attorneys safe was robbed and

WIVES As A CAsH INVEsrmENr.

According TO a story told by New York
correspondent Of the Boston Times,
prominent municipal officer in the former
city has discovered a method for converting
women into hard cash. When his first
wife was announced by the physician to
be so far gone in consumption that
her death was only a question Of
days, his feelings Overcame him to such an
extent that he rushed to an insurance Of
fee and took out a policy Of $1,000 on h.
life. The officers of the company accepted
the risk without asking for any physical
examination of the subject, the word Of her
husband that she was in good health being
taken as ample guarantee. He then carried
the policy to another office, and ON the
strength Of it got another $4,000, and thus
repeated the operation till the policies
amounted to 100000. He had to wait but
a little time for the ful6llment Of the pros
pect of reaping his reward, as the lady was
gathered to her fathers within few months,
and the wOefnlul husband was eomforted
with the insurance money. The speulatiOn
was so profitable that he hurried TO renew
It. but as eligible women with diseased
lungs were scarce, he eontented himself with
a wealthy girl. Before the marriage her
relatives demanded that he should
settle certain property upon her, which he
did, taking the precaution, however TO
mortgage it for nearly all it was worth.
When the trick was discovered she. left
him. but he retained the better part Of her
some 100000 in SariOus goods and chat
tells. A third speculation in wives put
$4,000 more in his purse, and even now
he IS not satisfied.

Orchard a"<I BIne Grass.

A Kentucky correspondent of tn,
Southern Agritulturist writes: While
think there is no grass equal bluegrass,
yet / like orchard grass in some respects
better han blue grass. In the first place
yo1 can Craze it two week earlier in the
spring, which is very decided advan-
tage over the blue grass. If you Craze
properly, its fattening qualities are equal.
1t not superior, to those Of the blue grass.
In the next place, if you have good
stand, it affords as much, if not more
grazing to the acre, than blue grass.
Again, | have seen blue and orchard
grass in the same field or pasture growing
side by side; drouth of some four or
1--we weeks would cause the blue grass to
become dry enough to burn, while the
orchird grass will be green and luxuriant,
comparatively speaking. This is an
other very great advantage over blue
grass.
