Beverly Smith walked out Of cell No.

be ranged before the desk and smiled
he said
We'll, this is indeed surprise, Why
i hadn't the remotest idea of finding
you here Shake, old fellow
His Honor wouldn't.
Don't you remember your ola school
mate Bev. Smith inquired the prison
er. Don't you remember how we used
to steal melons together-how we both
went over the milldam in an old boat
how we read novels under the lee side
Of haystacks?'
A strange light crept into his Hon
or's eyes as he replied.
'Ahl / remember you now. So you
are Bev. Smith: .
4 AMI am. thought you'd re-
member me. I'm awful glad to see
you. Judge Are you well 2
Quite well; thank you
An awkward silence followed Mr.
Smith heard the boys chuckling, and
he had ct length said:

like 30 to call on you and talk over old
times.
Beverly Smith said the court in a
voice resembling the distant explosion
OF coal cart, you are now about to
call on the Superintendent of the House
of Correction, there to remain for ninety
long days
What sentence an old companion.
All the same Beverly-all the same
The friends of my childhood are few
in number. They are falling down
stairs being drowned blown up aud run
over, and I'm going to put you where
you will be safe from accident =
Don't, Judger
But / will | prize you, Beverly.
When night comes l want TO know
that you are in out of the wet, and
when morning dawns i want to feel
that you are safe from the clutch of
ice wagons. The sentence is recorded.

him.-Detroit Free Press.

tary petition in bankruptcy to-day. His
Liabilities are scheduled as follows: Se-
cured debts, Sl83,O0O, with securities
valued at 1927 900; unsecured debts,
S22O,O00; paper, s., 900. The assets are
an interest in land in jersey City, N. j.,
value unknown, and bills receivable,
notes, etc., aggregating $4,000.
New YORK, January 4.-To day 1850
more shares Of stocks, which were collat-
erals in loans to John Bonner & Co. were
sold under the rule at tho Stock
Exchange.
CINCINNATI, January 4.-David Glib
son, liquor merchant, and W. +. Renner
& Co., candy manufacturers, failed TO.
day. The liabilities OF Renner & Co, will
amount to about $4,000. They propose
10 pay 90 or 80 cents on the dollar. In
regard TO Gibson, it ia said that but two
notes have gone to protest, and il is ex-
pected that they will be provided for this
afternoon.
CHICAGO, January 4.-The failure Of
Samuel Bliss & Co., Wholesale grocers on
Wabash avenue, is announced. Their
liabilities are variously stated at Sl25, 900
and 100000. None Of the firm will give
an idea Of the valae OF the assets, but they
have been regarded as solid firm and
will probably pay good per centage.
The giving Of a judgment note compelled
their suspension.
CtNcINsATr, January AT a meeting
OF the creditors Of Jacob Benninger, pork
packer, last evening, 1t was resolved TO
file a petition 10 force him into bank
ruptcy to-day. Liabilities estimated at

Mn. KAMISsKY, of Rush Run, who

opening under the bed OF the river half
way across, and has some notion Of run.
ming it clear across-@Hd sinking shaft
on this side, with view OF supplying
coke and coal to the Wheeling market by
the new railroad. This he can not do at
present from the Ohio side owing to the
Ugh tolls on tue Baltimore & Ohio
ridge. His shaft Is 26O feet down, and
reaches the we'll known Steubenville shaft
coal-a coal that is used altogether by
the Jefferson furnaces Ht SteubenvilIe
and that has been extensively used at
Mingo and Martins Ferry. Mr.. Kamin.
sky also informs US that gas has been
tapped in one OF the rooms OF his shaft
which he has conducted in pipe to the
main entrance, and with it Eliminates
that part Of the mine. This would seem
to indicate the presence OF oil somewhere
in the locality Of the works.

that will enhance the price Of everything
they are obliged To buy, while II will not
correspondingly enhance their own pro.
ducts. Wheat, corn and pork are regula'
ted in price by the European markets
and all our surplus must be sold in com.
petition with Russia and the Mediterra.
mean country. Not so with tea and coffee,
boots and shoes, clothes, furniture, labor,
&c. They are all enhanced in price at the
farmers expense. He hSs no way Of
keeping even.
These remarks do not apply to a care
fully framed Silver Bill, particularly II
the bill should provide for dollars
worth OF silver in the dollar, but to a
bill that proposes to turn loose as legal
tender, at a deprecated standard, the
entire products OF our silver mines, and
all the bullion that American and Euro.
peSn speculators can crowd into our mints
When such bill as this latter becomes
law, and bears fruit, we shall miss our
guess by large msjority II the Monon-
gala farmers do not sicken Of 1t as
efectually as the Israelites did when they
wanted meat so bad and got such dose
of Ouails.

He had killed Cards, their best friend.
There can be no doubt that many OF the
mob were from the other side Of the river.
News has Just been received that the
Mexicans at San Elizsrio are taking their
families to the other side Of the river,
under promise OF the officials there that
they will protect them. The Deputy Col.

have been closed for two weeks. The Dep.

refuge here. Have not heard from the
latter for twelve days.

A GENTLEMAN who came down from
Lagrange, opposite Wsllsburg, informs
us that he saw lying at the depot there,
awaiting shipment TO New York, about
40 black walnut logs, which had been
mostly cut on Smiley JOhnson's farm
near Lagrange, and for which the pur.
chaser had paid $40 per tree, each tree
cutting from two to three logs Of
say twelve feet each. These logs had
been bought for shipment to England,
and will go there from New York. They
are shipped from Lagrange to New York
at s57 per car, which expense, together
with the price paid per tree, and the cost
OF getting them to the depot, and the car.
riage by sea, will make them pretty cost.
ly logs by the time they reach England.
And yet when they are cut into veneering
we presume that they will pay a good
profit

occupy the line Of the Kara Lom river
and carefully guard its bridges on the
roads to Shumla. Heavy Ice is running
in the Danube.
LONDON, January 4.-From letters
written by Lady Stronghold, superintend'
ing the hospitals at Sofa, it would ap-
pear that tho Turks had determined not
10 attempt TO hold the place. Lady
Stronghold writes that she will remain
and believes will be able 10 continue her
duties without interruption or annoyance.
The Turkish nurses have agreed TO stay.
What was feared was disorder in the
town, but the Turks have gone away
quietly and there is not the slightest
panic, noise or trouble. The town will be
taken without resistance. This comedies
with information from the Turkish side
about the movements oi their forces. All
the garrisons, in posed positions beyond
Sofia, have been gradually withdrawn and
concentrated at kaufman. The force at
Karmarti seems 10 have been surprised
and endangered by the Russian flank
movement upon Tashesen, but succeeded
in escaping to Seatitiza, after ahard fight,
from which place 1t can reach kaufman
by the Topobutza Valley. 1t is not be-
lieved that the Russian General Gourks
has a,suficient force to ostorm Ikhtiman De
file, or that such force could be supplied
in the present state Of the Russian COM
munication.
