'Illo Buckeye Table Rake.

The experience of the past two years has
demonstrated that c. Aultman Co. have, in
TINS rake, at last succeeded in putting On TO a
reaper as nearly perfect Il self-rake as it is
possible for human genius TO devise. The de-
fectS noticeable in the earlier machines have
all been obyiated, and it stands to-day unrival-
ed in simplicity, ease of control, dura bility and
eftectiVeness-at once the pride of its friends
ana the fear of Its rivals. With its oVerhung
reel bringing the grain straight on the plat
form, and its simple but ingenius rake gather

even and compact, in splendid condition for the
Dinder; with the rake under the perfect control
OF the driver, capable of being stopped and held
at any point on the platform and for any lenght
of time, it distances entirely its competi-

A BrisiegrOOm's Difficulties
i'm Richmond.

The following tale ofdisappoint-
ment is told by the Richmond, Va.
Wing: "a few days since young
gentleman came to this city from
the north to be married. His in
tended was to meet him here, and
the Rev. DIR. Hoge was requested
to be on hand the next day to
unite them III the bond of matri-
mony. 1t appears that the young
gentleman was not quite Of age,
and while he had the consent OF
his parents to the proposed marri-
age, yet such consent had not been
given in writing, He went, as
young gentlemen usually do, in a
similar fix, with palpitating heart,
to get the license, when he was p0-
litely informed by the clerk that
he must have the written consent
of his parents before such license
could be given him. This was a
terrible setback to the bridegroom
expectant, and at first he scarcely
knew what do. The preacher, the
intended, and the friends were as
sembled and everything ready,
when the young gentleman burst
in and informed them that it could
not be. After awhile ono of the
party suggested that in Washing
ton, ID. c., the Law was not so rig
orous, and that there no parents
chirography need be exhibited
The suggestion, eagerly given, was
as eagerly adopted, and the young
lady and her mother soon follow
ing, and the happy pair made one,
The happy bridegroom, however,
thinks that Richmond is as hard
on young men travelling in search
Of wife as travelling sample mer-
chants All parties alluded to oc-
cupy high social position, and we
withhold their names by special
request

Sister ETa.

My sister has got a feller who has
been coming to see her most every
night for some time Night before
last, just to have little fun, i
went in the parlor and crawled I'M
der the sofa, on the sly, and wait
ing there till he and En- had got
settled, and just as he was asking
her If she was willing TO become
his dear partner for life, and trust
to his strong arm for protection
and support, gave three red
hot Indian whoops and bump
ed myself up against the bottom of
the sofa and fired off an old horse
pistol that / had borrowed of Sam
Johnson, and my graciou3! how
that fellow jumped up and scooted
for the door! He never stopped 10
get his hat, but went stumbling
head over heels down the door
Steps. AS for En-, she was just
scared so that she sat down on the
floor and screeched like blue biazes
till dad and mother came running
in. with nothing on but their
night clothes, and wanted to know
what the matter was. But En- on
ly yelled the louder, and kept
pointing under the sofa, till dad
got down on his knees and saw me
there, and pulled me out by the
hind leg When he got me out in
the wooj-shed, he warped me
over his knee, and then went at
me with an old trunk strap, and /
haven't got over it real nicely yet.

The Two Angels.

God called the nearest angels who dwell
with him above;
The tenderest one was Pity, the dearest
one was Love
sArise," he said, "ny angel wall Of
woe and sin
Steals through the gates Of heaven, Al
saddcns all within.
My harps take up the mournful strain
that from a lost world swells,
TIE smoke Of torment CLOUDS the Zig t
and blights the asphodes.
Ely downward to that under world, aud
on its souls of pain
Let Love drop smiles like sunshine. and
Pity tears like rain r
Two faces bowed before the throne veil
ed in their golden hair;
-Four white wings lessened swiftly down
the dark abyss Of air.
The way was strange the flight was long;
at last the angels came
Where swung the lost and neither world,
red-wrapped in rayless fame.
There Pity, shuddeiing, wept but Love
with faith too strong for fear,
Took heart from Gods almightiness, and
smiled smile of cheer.
And 10 that tear Of Pity quenched the
fame whereon it fell,
And, with the sunshine of that smile
hope entered into hell!
Two unveiled faces full Of Joy looked up
ward to the Throne,
Four white wings folded at the feet of
Him who sat thereon
And deeper than the sound Of seas, more
soft than falling fake,
Amidst the hush of wing and song the
voice Eternal spake:
welcome, my angels ye have brought
a holier joy to heaven
Henceforth its sweetest song shall be the
song of sin forgiven -

the graduating class of Public
School No. 2, ana in September
last went to New York together on
the occasion ofthe reception of the
Grand Lodge of the Sons of Tenn

said she had burned the certificate

was performed on March the Fth.

Bank suspension.

SHIPPENsBURG, PA, April 3. =
The Farmers and Mechanics Bank
Of Shippensburg suspended pay
ment yesterday. The liabilities
are not known, bui at this season
of the year the amount on deposit
has generally been about 5000, 600,
and it is supposed that the bank
now owes about that sum to its de-
positors. This bank was chartered
about twenty years ago under the
laws of tide State of Pennsylvania,
and up to the time ofthe establish
ment of the national banking sys-
tenn was run as q bank of issue
Shortly after the close Of the war
its circulation was withdrawn and
since then it has been conducted
exclusively as a bank of deposit
By a special provision of the char
ter the stockholders are individu-
ally responsible for the liabilities
of the bank to the full amount Of
their property. This renders the
depositors entirely secure, altho'
they will be put TO great inconve-
nience in being compelled to wait
until the bank is ready to make
distribution. There is just q pos
sibility that by gathering up its
assets the bank may be able to re-
sumo payment without winding
up in this way.
The cause of the suspension is
precisely the same that has affected
SO many solvent Institutions
Large loans of money to favored
borrowers on real estate security.
The borrowers failed to pay, and
in the depressed condition of the
real estate market, the bank has
been able to realize nothing on the
judgments obtained against the
debtors and their securities. A
large portion of the funds of the
bank has been locked up in this
way.
The depositors were mostly coun-
try people, who put their money in
bank in order to be ready for the
1st of April payments, which is
general day for setting accounts
and discharging debts in Pennsyl-
vania. The deferred payments on
real estate purchases nearly always
fall due on the 1st of April. The
suspension of the bank infficts a
great hardship on this class of deb
tors. A great many of the country
people are in town, standing on
the street corners in little groups,
discussing the suspension, but there
is no unusual excitement.

The OvercrOwded Cities.

There is hardly city in the
United States which does not con
tain more people than can get fair
honest living by labor or trade in
the best times. When times of
business depression comes, like
those through which we have pas

must be helped, to keep them from
cruel suffering. Sull the cities
grow, while whole regi rs of the
COuntry-es especially It's older p0r-

year. Yet the fact is patent to
day that the only prosperous class
is the agricultural, We have now

The agricultural class oftbc West
are prosperous. Th9y had good
crop last year, and have received
good prices for aIl their products;
and while the cities are in trouble,
and manufactures are running on
halfiime or not running at all, the
Western farmer has money in his
pocket and a ready market for
everything he has to sell. The
country must be fed and he feels it,
The city family may do without
new Globes, and a thousand luXur-
ious appliances, but it must have
bread and meat. There is nothing
that can prevent the steady pros

middle-men, that force unnatural
conditions upon the finances and
markets of the country.

[ From the Rocky Nountain News

An atrocious tragedy was COM
mitted in Toquerville, Utah, last
Tuesday, which for some unac-
countable reason, was not report
ed by telegraph. Richard Fryer,
who has lately labored under the
hallucination that he was second
Jesus Christ, entered his house in
the evening and found Thomas
Batty, a friend of the family,
lighting fire in the CRATES Be-
lieving that Batty was an ennis
sary of the devil who was trying
to burn his premises, the lunatic
rushed for a pistol and shot him
through the head Mrs. Fryer,
paralyzed with fear, crouched in a
corner, and was shot through the
heart by her demoniac husband.
The next thing he did was to go
to cradle where his infant child
was lying asleep, and deliberately
blowed it brains out out This was
the browning act of the almost un-
parallel tragedy. Fryer then sal
lied forth into the village, armed
with a revolver and a gun, pro-
himself the Lord, and
that he had slain the devil
and several Of his imps. The sher-
if, being unable to arrest Fryer,
and fearing that still other lives
might be sacrificed, killed him
with shot from a navy revolver.
Batty, Mrs. Fryer, the babe, and
the slayer of them, all were buried
on st. Patrick's day from the same
house.

Duel at Four Feet.
+ From the Ne,c Orleans Bulletin.

From the NeD Orleans bulletin.
In 1887 Colonel Duvall, candi-
date for the Senate in one of the
Upper Senatorial districts of Mis-
sissippi, became involved in a per-
sonal affair with young Cunning
ham, of the famous fighting Gun
ningham of North Carolina. Gun
ningham was not twenty-oDe. He
was a small handsome youth, with
long fiaxen hair, bright blue eyes,
and very amiable, gentle manners,
but of most dauntlesS determina-
ton and cool courage.
Cunningham had challenged Du-
vail, who had fought before, and
was regarded as an adept in the du-
clio. Duvall lin a spirit which was
considered as bordering on bragga-
docio, accepted the challenge, but
prescribed the terms that they
should fight with pistols four feet
off. He evidently mistook his man
if he imagined that such terms
would be rejected by Cunningham
The parties met opposite Vicks-
burg. An immense concourse as
sembled to witness the affair. The
boyish Cunningham excited uni
versal sympathy, mingled with
pity and admiration, when he APP
peared in the field. He looked
younger and more boyish than he
really was.
There was a serious design on
the part of the spectators to inter-
fere and prevent the fight between
a full grown man and mere boy.
But Cunningham and his friends,
by their determined conduct, pre-
vented all such interference. The
parties were soon stationed at their
places, just four feet apart, by eX-
act measurement. Cunningham
fixed his eye upon his antagonist
with that peculiarly gentle smile
characteristic Of him. Duvall, tho
doubtless a brave man, could not
but feel and manifest some nervous
ness on the occasion, as he had pre-
scribed the peIilous and desperate
terms on which the combat was to
be determined.
Attention ~ was called, and,
the parties declaring they were
ready, the word was given, and
both fired at the word Tone" Du-
vail fell, shot through the heart
Cunningham stood cOolly in his
place, unscathed. An involuntary
hurrah !" arose from the specta-
tors at the issue Of an affair which
had enlisted their feelings so
warmly in behalf of this young
David of this combat.
Cunningham was an amiable,
pleasant gentleman, and rarely be-
came involved in quarrels. But on
one occasion he displayed his char
