A Dog Made Useful.

A German saloon keeper in Jersey
City, having furnished refreshments
few days since to party of young ruff
fins, ,modestly requested his pay amount
ing to So. Thereupon the party propos-
ed to remunerate him by cleaning out"
the place. The saloon keeper made no
remonstrance, but opened door and
called an immense Siberian bloodhound,
whom he instructed by a sign to stand
guard at the door. Thereupon the ruff
fins protested that they meant to pay all
the time, and that their proposition to
"clean out'' the place was bit of
harmless pleasantly. 1t was found,
however, that the finances of the party
were insufficient for the demands of the
occasion, and it was necessary to exc out
the amount with watch and sundry
other articles of personal property
Then the dog retired in good order, and
the party did the same.

GEORGE A. QUIMBY,
OF THE BOSTON WEEKLY GLOBE.
A Rebel Scouts Adventure.

NTHEN the Federal army occupied
w Cuipepper Court House and the
Confederate army lay in Orange county,
Virginia, General Lee desired certain in
formation which 1t seemed could be best
obtained by an individual scout, and
Stringfellow was selected for the service.
1t was necessary that he should pene-
trate the enemy's camps, remaining
concealed as long as possible, and return
when he had collected the desired infor-
nation. His operations were to be con-
Quoted mostly at night. He wished to
be accompanied by two men, one of
whom Parish by name, had his home in
the immediate vicinity of the enemy IS
camps, and being intimately acquainted
with all the country, could accurately
guide him from place to place by night
as by daylight. The expedition was un-
dertaken on foot, as the distance was
not great and concealment was of prime
importance. The men were clad in
their own uniform as scouts, not spies.
The country was difficult one for the
operations of scout. From the long
and frequent occupation by both the
contending armies the land had been
almost entirely denuded of its timber,
and only here and there few thin clus-
ters of trees remained standing. One
day had passed since they had entered
the enemy's lines, and with nightfall
they commenced their wanderings
among the hostile camps, mainly with
the purpose of locating the different
corps, and Of ascertaining whether any
troops had been detached from the army
of the Potomac. The night had been
nearly consumed in this way, when,
reaching one of the clusters of trees of
which have spoken, they laid them
selves down to catch few moments

THE TIMES. NEW BLOOMFIELD, Pa JULY 81, 1877.

when II drops from the lips Of small
boy, as he incautlously sits down on an
adult bull-thlstle. He sees this bug laid
Off in stripes endwise, like the marks of
a gridron on slice of broiled liver. He
sees that what the bug lacks In size he
gains in quantity. He is there and
keeps coming. He has as much mouth
In proportion to his length as the ANA
zon river or Soldene. He can beat q
horsehy laying eggs, and have seen
them do the job at the rate Of twelve
miles an hour. Ten days from the time
an egg Is laid IL has been Matched, mar
rled, and Is the mother OF eleven hun
dred and thirty-two grandchildren.
The only sure way to get rid of the
potato bug Is to move off somewhere
else. There are number of methods
that work somewhatly. One man set
up steam trip hammer on his farm and
hired half,grown Sunday School to
catch the bugs and run them under the
hammer. After trying this week he
found that Us the nights grew longer the
bugs gained on him, and he gave 1t up.
Next to English sparrows there Is moth
ing that increases faster than potato
bugs, unless 1t is the interest on an un-
paid note.
A farmer told me that he tried Paris
green on his bugs. lie said he'd be
hanged If he didn't use up about barrel
of the stuff and the bugs ate IL all up,and
in two or three days they set upa store
In the corner of the field and advertised
that they would sell Paris green at re-
tail, cheaper than he could buy it ut
wholesale. He said he lost confidence
then in Paris green, and gained cor
responding amount of confidence In the
bugs.
The farmer is independent He can
stay on his farm from one years end to
another and raise all he really needs to
sustain life and be under obligations to
no one. He can have the pleasure of
feeling that on the fruits of his toll de-
pend the nations strength and prosperi-
ty. He truly earns his bread by the
sweat Of his brow, and unless he is bald
headed, he seldom has brow in proper
tion to the sweat.
Nearly all our great men were raised
on farm, and 1t is their especial delight
in all their speeches to mention the fact,
and remention it. and afterwards allude
to it, and tell how happy they were, and
how they love the old place with Its old
farm house, and how they look back on
their boyhood days and wish they had
never left the farm, and long now to re-
turn to 1t and pass the remainder of their
days, and resign $5 900 office and settle
down and be happy again.
1 have listened to these speeches and
read them, and have spent two large
fortunes In trying to find solitary case
where one of these men ever left farm
and got rich, either by stealing or in
any other honest way, and then went
back on the dear old farm to live: and
up to the first day of July L have been
unable to find one.
l now have two of the smartest de-
tectives in the country looking aft Ell
such man, and in my humble opinion
they will find Charlie Ross several times
before they find my man.

REMISIsCENCE OF JOHN D. LEE.-Itap.
pears thatthe notorious John D. Lee, re.
Gently executed for the part he took in the
Mountain Meadows Massacre, was many
years ago q resident Of Winchester, in
this State. Mr.. o. W. Heiskell, OF this
city, who lived in Winchester thir.y.fye
or forty years ago, knew Lee very we'll,
but had no idea until within few days
past that the great Mormon murderer and
hisacquaintance.of the same name we're
one and the same person. A few days
ago Mr.. Henry L. OF, OF this city, 70.
ceived letter from his mother.in.
law, Mrs. lGriflith, who resides in
Winchester, conveying the information
that communication had been received
from Utah which proved beyond doubt
that the Lee family at one time lived in
Winchester. Mrs. Griffith requested Mr..
OF to tell Mr.. Heiskell that his old
friend Lee was no more, and give him the
particulars Of his tragic death.
From Mr.. Heiskell we learned some in.
teresting "reminiscences in the life Of Lee
while at Winchester. Lee was then about
twenty years Of age, and model OF man.
ly beauty. His father was Postmaster Of
the town, and kept small store in connec.
ton with the poStofice, in which young
Lee clerked, Col. Thos. Roberts, an uncle
Of young Lee, married a beautiful young
lady named TyggarI, whose connections
were among tho most respectable and
aristocratic Of the wealthy Baltimore
families, and settled in Winchester. Lee
and Mrs. Roberts, who was not more than
nineteen or twentyyears Of age, formed an
attachment for each other, and the vile
proved unfaithful to her husband. Col.
Roberts was completely broken down BY
the discovery Of his wife's guilty amour,
and although he had always been q
strictly temperate man, Of excellent pri-
va!c character, he took to drinking, aud
in short time was complete wreck,
ruined in health and purse. In the
meanwhile Lee and his paramount went
West, and nothing more was heard Of
them at Winchester until after his execu.
ton.
