A Dangerous Counterfeit.

About 800, 900 of the counterfeit S.
notes on the Tamaqua (Pa.) National
Bank were successfully worked off. 1t
is acknowledged by the Washington Blu
reau of Engraving and Printing that
this counterfeit is almost perfect-much
better in workmanship, in fact, than any
thing the bureau itself can do. 1t was
done by a German, whose whereabouts
is unknown, and who is supposed to have
been in communication with only one
person for the past three months. The
fepular issues of the bank are numbered
I,219, but the bill issued by the coun-
terfeiters is numbered 295. The coun-
terfeits are not printed on fiber paper,
and there are typographical errors on
the back by which they may be detected,
such as the omission of the last en- " in
"owuing," and the use of the letter
Gu" in the last syllable Of thousand. |"

The Baltimore american, speaking OF
the criminal hanged at Harrisburg, Va. (,
the other day, says: some singular
thing connected with this murder is
worthy of mention. At the funeral OF
Lawson the officiating minister prayed
that God would blight the trees from
the spot where Lawson was assassinated
to the murderer's home, and it may
sound strange, yet 1T is true, the trees
from where his body was found In the
direction of Shiffiet's house are all
blighted and dying, while all the other
trees around are perfectly healthy. This
story has been in circulation here for
some time, believed by few, but
doubted and made fun of by many. Last
Sunday several gentlemen representing
city dailies, who had arrived to do the
execution, visited the spot and found it
an actual fact"

A Model Life Insurance Co.

We have just been favored with copies of tho
official report of the Insurance Commissioner
for New York, Massachusetts,, Maryland, Illinois
and Wisconsin, who we're some time ago de-
puted to make a thorough examination of the
affairs Of the greatest Life Insurance Company
of the Northwest, the Northwestern Mutual
Life Insurance Company of Milwaukee. The
examination made by them was undoubtedly
one Of the most exact and complete on record,
for every one of the gentlemen named is prac-
tically conversant with every detail of the in
surance business. The Commissioners say that
"every facility was granted them for the full
examination" The examination of the invest
ments of the Company, the Commits sioners say
ION loans and mortgages are nearly two
thirds of the assets, and develops the most
vigilant care and faithfulness in determining
the validity of titles, and the margin of security
appears in every instance to have been largely
in excess Of that required by the insurance laws,
being, in the aggregate, nearly four times
greater than the amount loaned"
The Examining Commission further say :
ave have caused re-valuation Of all the real
estate on which the Company has placed its
loans. This re-valuation has been made en-
tirely independent Of the Company or its man.

How to Grow Cheerful.

Disease is in great many-perhaps the ma
jority-of instances the underlying cause OF
mental depression. II will almost invariably
be found, for instance, that hypochondriacs are
dyspeptic, bilious subjects, and all persons who
have had any experience OF such cases are
aware that sufferers from diseases of the kid
neys and bladder are especially subject to fits OF
dependency. The sure way IN overcome de-
preston is to try a course OF Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, cheering cordial which is pecul-
iarly antagonistic to the "blues," as well as to
the causes which produce them. This popular
and etficacious corrective Of disordered condi-
ton Of the system remedies the most obstinate
cases of indigestion binousness and constipa-
ton, overcomes disorders OF the urinary Or

An Oriental Incident.

The Russo Turkish war revives an ole
story. A Turkish and Russian officer
once fell into dispute as to the supe'
riority in discipline of their respective
soldiers.
"I can prove to you on the spot,
said the Russian, chow perfectly our
men are trained" And he called his
orderly.
"Ivan -
"Sir."
$50 to Mehemet's, buy me pound
of tobacco, and come back at once"
The soldier saluted, turned on his
heel and went out.
"Now," said the Russian officer, tax
ing out his watch, "my orderly is walk
ing straight to the next corner, where he
must turn-now he is turning-now he
is opposite the white mosque-now he
is crossing the maydan-now he is mt
Mehemet's-now he is buying the to-
bacco-now he is coming back-now is
on the block below us-now he is at the
door-now and the Russian called
out:
"Ivan -
"Sir."
Where's the tobacco ?"
Here, sir"
The Turkish officer, showing no sign
of surprise at the precision of this
Russo-tobacco movement, promptly
broke out: "Ho no ! my soldier can
do that every day in the week." and he
called:
Muhctar !"
"Sir."
$50 to Ali Effendi's and see that you
bring me pound of tobacco. My pipe
is empty"
Instantly, SIR"
Following the tactics of the Russian
officer, the Turk pulled out his watch
and went on:
"Now Muhctar is in the street; now
he is passing the palpooch bazaar; now
it is noon and he is saying his prayers;
now he is drinking at the stone fountain;
now Ali Effendi halls him and asks about
my health; now Muhctar is paying for
the tobacco; now he is coming back by
another way; now he is on our street;
now he is at the door; now
"Muhctar !" shouted the officer.
"Sir."
Where is my tobacco ?"

The Work of DesOlatiOn.

Within ten years no less than II, 900,
600 acres of forest have been cut down
or burned over in the United States.
Much of the timber Is used for fuel,
twenty-five cities being on record rs con-
Stunning from 5000 to 10000 acres each.
Fences use up much timber, and rail

of pine and hemlock timber yet stand

Silver.

DR.. Linderman, the Director of our
mints, is enough of silver man to be-
lieye that the fall in the price of silver
during the past year is no argument
against it's use as money-indeed, he
thinks the main cause of its depreciation
was the attempt not to use it as money.
He gives the following as the cause of
the fluctuations, ranking in importance
in the order mentioned:
First, change from the silver to the
gold standard in Germany and Scandi-

Shropshire sheep.

This breed Of sheep now becoming
popular with our people is of fecent orr
gin, formed by crossing the SOuthdown
upon the Longmynds, an indigenous
breed Of Shropshire and the Heath sheep
of Staffordshire. These sheep had horns
and black faces, gazed well and close,
and sheared about two and one-half
pounds of wool. After several South
down crosses, a dash of Leicester was
given, which increased the length of the
fleece. This breeding was not done bya
single breeder, as in the Blackwell sheep,
but by several, and there was consea
quently a lack of uniformity, but by de-
grees the present type was produced,
and in 1860 was recognized by the royal
agricultural society of England as dis
tinct breed.
The Shropshire has a dark brown face
and legs, and the wool in centre of fore
head and around the ears tinged with
brown, larger than the SOuthdOwn,
which it much resembles, and the fleece
which weighs from five to seven pounds,
is niuch1Onger in staple and heavier than
the SouthdOwn, but still carding wool
there is however a lack of uniformity.
Tn samples taken from some last years
lambs the fleece had precisely the appear
ance of COtswOld wool, while sample
taken from an imported buck of same
age, which was nearly as long, was car
ding wool, and was much like the south
down. The meat resembles the South
down, being marbled with fat but per
haps less delicate. While the Shropshire
as breed are superior to the Southdown
in size and weight of fleece, still it is
much to be doubted if they will prove
equal to the Southdown for improving
the common breeds of ourcountry. The
SOuthdOwn being a very old and perfect
ly distinct breed, impresses its charac-
terlstics with great certainty the Shrop-
shire being a cross-bred animal, and as
most crOss-bred animals are, superior to
either of the breeds from which it is
formed is not so likely TO impress its
progeny with its own type.
SCOTS improved Kentucky sheep, a
breed produced by crossing, had much
celebritys a few years since, but of late is
not mentioned among the distinct breeds;
it is supposed that it failed to produce
its like upon the common breeds of the |
country, not having been bred long |
enough to perfectly fix the type which (
would require many years, and this, |
perhaps, is the greatest objection which |
cstn be urged against. the Shropshire
