Mr.. T. p. Taylor and his amiable
wife, removed back to Stroudsburg,
Monroe county, during the past week.
A little more than one year ago, Mr..
Taylor came to Lebighton and took
possession of the Linderman farm, sit
uated in the Mahoning Valley, which
proved an unfortunate investment for
him, pecuniarily, and he returns to his
former home poorer if not a wiser
man. During his stay in this section
both he and his wife have made host
of warm and admiring friends, whose
best wishes for their future success in
life goes with them to other scenes.
Their intercourse with our people, has
been marked for its refined culture and
social affability. We bespeak for them
q warm reception on their return to
Stroudsburg.

REVIVING BUSINESS.

Within few days, says the Philadel-
phia Ledger, Of the 21st inst, wheat
has advanced about twenty cents a
bushel aud flour eighty cents barrel,
owing to the augmented foreign de-
mand for American breadstuffs-a de.
mand that we would rather see brought
about from some other causes than the
misfortunes Of the people on the other
side of the Atlantic, as happens in this
instance. foundations in France, En-
gland and Hungary have caused con-
siderable crop losses, but they are not
the severest misfortunes that shorten
the foreign breadstuff supply. Unfavor-
able weather has prevailed over the
best grain -beating sections of the con
tinent Of Europe just at the critical
period Of gathering the crops, and the
gloomy details have been coming to us
by telegraph and mail. Rains have
drenched the already over-wet fields In
some sections, while drought has parch-
ed them in others. For month past,
throughout Europe, the fears of a short
crop OF wheat have BEEN accumulating,
until now the necessity for preparing
to meet the deficit has given a sudden
impulse of activity to the grain and
shipping interests of the United States.
II go happened that this country Is now
in good condition to make up European
losses. Before the present american
wheat crop was harvested, our granaries
contained large reverse of last years
crOp-much larger than usual for prices
has been low and the demand poor, SO
| that there Lad been NO inducement to
sell. Under the stimulus OF incre asin &
prices this reserve is coming forward In
large amounts for shipment abroad foI
as yet but little of this years crop has
found its way to market, except from
California, where the harvest Is earlier
than in the wheat-growing States on
the Atlantic slopes of the continent
Although the new crop in California
has declined about ten per cent. in
quality, yet elsewhere in the United
States the new crop promises to be- 9
good one, as large, If not larger, than
last years. We are therefore able, will
new wheat and old, to send to Europe
all that may he wanted there without
seriously incOnvenieDclng ourselves ant
in a very Iew weeks the question will
be settled whether the European
wheat crop is to be very little or {
great deal below the average, and alsC
whether the demand for American
breadstuffs abroad is to continue brisl
during the balance of the year.
Advancing prices for food supplies

condition of the United States they
bring some compensating advantages

influence to bear upon the Lehlgh Valley Co. so
as TO cause his discharge from their employ, and
the only reason assigned by the DISCHARGED

was that while employed ut the L. & S. depot,
no bad had n fall out with him in regard 10 some

it was not long before he regained much
of his lost prestige. He sought for and
was given admission again to the Pres
byterian Church and again took Il lead
ING place in its councils. He was to all
appearances remarkably successful in
business, and his past was almost for
gotten.
In the early part of last week he Went
to New York, as he said, to buy some
stock. He had not returned on Tues
day last, and inquiry being made about
that time, it was discovered that his
family had gone also, with all their
household furniture. How the reno
val was effected without the fact being
made public, is not known. He leaves
behind him liabilities amounting to from
$4,000 to $4,000, all of which must be
borne by some of the friends who spent
their money to save him from prison
four years ago,they being his indOrserS.
1t has been discovered that Bush is %
bloIHcI-lli-laW OF the notorious ION
Ballard, cOuntcrfeiter and burglar. He
was no doubt aiding that criminal in
1861 in issuing this counterfeit money
in this section. 1t is also believed now,
from certain circumstances, that Bush
had knowledge OFF, he was not active in
bringing about the robbery of the Port
Jeryis bank, with others of Billiards.
gang, i'll 1863, when some $50, 900 was
secured. Several notes which Bush had
recently negotiated in this place are now
said to be forgerieS. Two of his IONS
live in Port Jervis, but they deny having
had any knowledge of their fathers in
tcntion to abScond. Bush came from
Canada to this place,an rumOrs which
were rife during his trouble in 1867,
that he vas forced to leave there on ac-
count OF Il heavy forgery, have been re-
yiycd. Detectives will, no doubt, be
put on his track. \ piano belonging to
him and waybilled for Utica, was dis
covered on yesterday in 4 car in the
Erie railway yard here, and was seized
by his creditors.
The excitement over his disappear

most humane way of executing capital
puniShmcnt-if there be any humanity
about it.
The machine was called GutUOtinC.
after Il DR.. GuilIotin, who. in the French
ASsemblyin 1871, proposed Il better way
of cutting off peoples heads than the
old way Of doing it by an aN; which he
said was Il clumsy way, and clumsy
hradSmen sometimes made bad work of
it. But DIR. Guillotin was not the i'll
v"ntor, Il, some hooks will tell Won: nor
did he lose his own head by it, as other
books VIII tell you.
In 1892, the question of finding some
new way of execution WAS referred to
DR.. Antoine Louis, the Secretary of the
College of Surgeons, and he advised
such Il method rs had been limited at by
DR.. Guillotin the year before. So. then
they had a machine made for trial by
one Schmidt, who was Il knifc-makcr.
And they tried it OF Il body or two, and
found it worked 50 well that they adopt
ed it; and people called it at first
"LOuisette.' But DIR. Louis said he
didn't invent it or make it. Wcbstcr's
Unabridged Dictionary, which is so rare
~ wrong, makes Il mistake in saying he
did invent it,
SO the people went back on the name
of DIR. Guillotin-all because Il poet of
that day had made some juggling rhymes,
in which the honor had been referred to
him.
The real truth is, that 4 machine like
it had been used in Italy, at Genoa, two
hundred years before; and in England,
at Halifax, and in Scotland, at Edin-
burgh, more than 4 hundred years be-
fore. The Scotch people had called it
"The Maiden.n
1t is 4 dreadful machine, and does
very quick work, as I know; for | have
myself seen Il mans head taken off by
it; and | never wish to see such Il sight
again.-D0NGM Il. Mitchell, in ST. Nich-

Old Firginian Hospitality.

remember 4 case in which L neigh
Dor of my own, Il very wealthy gentle
man whose house was always open and
always full of guests, dying, left each
of his children Il plantation. TO the
eldest son, however, he left the home
estate, worth three or four times as
much rs any of the other plantations,
and with it he gave the Young man also
Il large sum Of money. But he charged
him with the duty of keeping open
house there ut all times, and directed
that the household affairs should be con-
Quoted always precisely rs they had
been during his own lifetime: and the
charge well nigh outweighed the inhcri-
tancc. The new master of the place
lived in Richmond, where he was en-
gagged in manufacturing, and after the
death of the father the old house stood
tenantless, but open As before. Its
troop of softly Shod servants swept and
busted as of old. Breakfast, dinners and
supper were laid out every day ut the
accustomed hours, under the old but
ler's supervision, and as the viands
grew cold his silent subordinates wait
ed, trays in hand, at the back of the
empty chairs during the full time APP
pointed for each meal. | have stopped
there for dinner, tea or to spend the
night, many a time, in company with
II of the younger brothers, or with
some relation of the family, or alone,
as the ease MAY be, and l have some
times met others there. But our COM
inc or not was 4 matter Of Indifference.
Guests knew themselves always well
come, but whether guests came or not
the household affairs suffered no change.
The destruction of the house by fire
finally lifted this burden from its own
cr'S shoulders, as the will did not re-
quire him to rebuild. But while it
stood its masters large inheritance was
OF very small worth to him.-N0uCmder

y WIRE clothes-line agent called on 4
well TODD farmer at Meridian, Cayuga
County, n. Y, and tried to sell him u
wire clothes line. The farmer declined,
and the stranger made him an offer to
give him a linei he (the farmer) would
give his name Us Il reference to use in
the vicinity. He gave his name on 4
slip of paper presented by the stranger,
and which was apparently carelessly
folded, and about two weeks from that
time received an invoice for wire
amounting to 800 as per order. The
carelessly folded paper proved to be an
order made to a third party, and the
best he could do in settlement was 10
pay $50 to be released from the order,
or take the wire and pay the bill.
