ing five hogsheads of molasses, washed over

The tidy housewife now begins to frisk
about with broom and duster, shaking, scrub
bling, overturning and furnishing up things
generally about the house, and should be fur
nlshed with everything that tends to lessen her
labors during these troublesome days of 'tspring
cleaning. Many useful articles have been in
troduced for tightening the labors of house
keepers, but none, it is claimed, gains more
rapidly in popular favor than "Silver White,''
preparation for cleaning siver-ware that is
said to do its work quickly and effectively, re-
moving all tarnish and giving to the household
silver an exquisite polish. Ladies who are not
already familiar with its merits are asked to
lose no time in giving it trial, as it costs but

A BAD SNARL.-The Boston papers contain
accounts of the trouble Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis B.
Toilette, formerly of this city, have been having
in Boston. AS the story goes, they went to
Boston ard hired a builder named Hopkins to
fit up store at No 80 Temple place. 1t ap-
pears that Mr. Hopkins became too attentive to
Mrs. Toilette. When Mr.. Toilette remonstrat-
ed with his wife, she attempted to shoot
him. This attempt on his life occurred in May,
1875, but he succeeded in disarming her with
out injury. There was forewoman employed
by the Follettes whose services were Invaluable.
Hopkins and Mrs. Toilette came to the store
one day, and accused Mr.. Toilette and the fore
woman of infidelity, before the clerks and GUS
toners The result was the business was SO
much injured by the stories thus set afloat, that
the Foettes had to go into bankruptcy. When
Mr.. Toilette had settled his bankruptcy affairs,
he went back to the store, and discovered that
he had been robbed of $4,000 worth of goods and
furniture. A detective found that the furniture
had been disposed of by one Reuben w. Shir.
ley The fancy goods were found in trunk al
the store of Brainard, Davey & Co., where
French, the keeper during the bankruptcy pro-
ceedings, had taken them. Most of the stolen
property was recovered Thursday, and French
and Shirley were brought into court in the
evening" where they were each held in the sum
Of $500 for examination.
A suit for divorce, Mr.. Toilette plaintiff. is
now pending; also against Hopkins for defama
ton OF character, brought by the young woman
aforementioned, lin the employ of Toilette,
in which the damages are laid at $4,000
Hopkins, however, is not to be found
