Several months age Judge George
J. Christian, the new Judge of the
Court. went to work to reform the
city by causing gambling saloons, the
Sunday bar-rooms and the houses OF
i'll fame to beraided. The dcmi-monde
and the knights of the green cloth
and evil people had to hide them
selves, and the community was APP
parently in a state of purity and re-
pose but by and by the gamblers,
| the violators of the Sabbath and the
fast females put in their appearance
again, and. in spite of the good Judge,
things drifted back into a state OF
natural vice.
A few days ago Christians grand
jury indicted several dealers OF faro,
and Saturday afternoon the case OF

It must be very enticing, and turn

witnesses, said, "Will you show the
court and the jury how faro is played2'
Mr.. Nellings replied that he would
with pleasure. Then all the para.
phernalia of q faro bank was brought
into the courtroom and set before the
Judge. The green baize was spread

During the recent panic in Lam
cheshire a lady who had considerable
sum on deposit went to her bank and
told the manager that she needed all
her money and that she would have
gold. The sum was promptly placed
before her, whereupon she remarked,
mo, | won't take it out now" and the
gold was replaced. The lady left the
bank convinced that the money was
safe, because as she thought, she had
seen it. Perhaps the most ludicrous
incident occurred in the Bank Of Eng
land. A person who had a deposit in
the bank became alarmed us to the SOL
vency of the institution, and ''pro-
tected himself by draying out the
amount-in bank notes He is prob
ably a lineal descendant of one of the
lrishmen who, desiring to be revenged
on IN unpopular banker, bought up
and destroyed his notes. One very
comical incident is reported from Ash
ton. A man who had a deposit in the
local branch of a Manchester bank
hastily withdrew the amount and
posted to Manchester, where he de-
posted it in the head Office of the
same bank. His explanation was that
no thought that the small banks would
go first.

An Onlinous Incident.

The Brownsville States relates this
singular story:
One OF the striking incidents ofthe late
epidemic was the singular appearance
nearly every day Of a buzzard flying over
the city aud ringing a COW bell. Some
times the vulture would be in n flock of its
kind and sometimes alone, and often it
few so low that the bell could be distinct
~ seen. The negroes regarded this re-
msrkable noise as in someway connected
with the epidemic and invested il with
supernatural terrors. The same buzzard
has been seen several times since the fever
abated, always ringing the bell MS it flies.
Ii is supposed that SEINE mischieyous per-
son caught the buzzard and putthe bell on
it for amusement.
Citizens from Brownsville verify this
statement, and wo can easily imagine how
the sight and sound Of that buzzard's daily
flying over tho town, sometimes alone and
at other times with its fellows, inspired
the ignorant and superstitious with dread
and fear. They regarded it as a death
knell for somebody and were hopelessly
frightened. The weight Of the bell made
It necessary for the buzzard to flop its
wings all the time; hence the bell was
constantly ringing. The negroes have
got over their scare now, and fthat buzz
zard happens to Toost low it viii stand q
chance to be taken in like any other fowl
for the sake Of the bell.

Inaugural Address of II. 5. COudOn, ESP
DELIVERED BEFORE PRINCIPLE GRANGE,
ON JANUARY II, 1878.

In assuming for another year the respon
sibilities devolving upon me as Master of
this Grange, feel more than ever before
my inability to discharge satisfactorily the
duties of the office.
Whilst my relations with you ALL both
in and out of the Grange, have been Of the
most agreeable and friendly character, and
whilst the unanimity of my reelection
would indicate that my efforts in the dis
charge of duty have not been altogether
lneitectual; yet cannot escape the conclu-
sion that my shortcomings have been gen
erously overlooked.
1t wont profit, however, now that the
installation has taken place. to pause and
inquire whether your choice was wise
one. 1t has been already made. The posi-
ton has been rendered and accepted, and
assure you not without proper apprecia
ton on my part of the expression of your
confidence thereby conveyed.
We are now concerned with the future.
The past, with all its joys and sorrows, its
trials and temptations, is gone forever, and
beyond recall. Its mistakes cannot be
remedied. Its sins of omission and com
mission cannot be expunged. Yet, never
theless, we may derive much benefit from
retrospect.
By careful consideration of the causes
which led to failures in the past, We may
L., o,,LlaJ IN avoid lilo nuaS RI Gonna and
10y studying well the principles that led to
previous successes we may also hope to
find the means of increasing them in the
future. And who of us have been so for
tunate and provident as not to have met
with many reverses; and who so unfor,
tunate and improvident as not to have
achieved some measure of success.
speak now of our transactions as indi,
yiduals, being we'll assured that whatever
tends to benefit one of our members exerts
direct, though possibly unperceved, in
iluence for good upon us ALL and that what
ever improves and strengthens one sub
Grange must of necessity contribute more
or less to the advancement and prosperity
of the entire Order, and it will hardly be
denied that the country at large must par
ticipate, to a certain extent, in the benefits
to be derived from any material improve
ment in the condition of the farming COM
munity.
AS general rule. the Importance Of in
dividual action is too lightly esteemed.
