Our farmers are busily engaged preparing
their lands Tor another crop, especially when
the weather is favorable. The contraband
whiskey influx is on the decline, and good

TO PATRoas OF oARswRIL rHsr1TUTE.

Last year the public money per capita
Which we received was so small that no
credit was entered upon the accounts of
patrons. Lest sone misunderstanding
might arise, we explain: Having reduced
the tuition more than the amount of public
morey to which each patron was entitled,
we thought 1t fair and right, and that It
would save trouble, not to give credit there
for. The amount per capita was $i.6G5. II
any one will recall tuition charges for 1877
it will be seen that reductions have in every
case been for more than this Hereafter
however, that none may complain, we will
make full charges and give full credit for all
public moneys received.
We hope to get more money from public
fund this year. All we need now is largo
and liberal patronage And ne bespeaA for
all OF our schools, from Prof. Ligons OK
cellens Institute. throughout the whole
chain of worthy schools in the rural dis.
tricts, full and earnest patronage. To oil

tend the hand of genuine sympathy and

A Gentle Hint.

In our style of climate, with its sudden
changes of temperature wind and
sunshine often intermingling in single
day-it 10 no wonder that our children,
friends and relatives are SO frequently taken
from GS by neglected colds, half the deaths
resulting directly from this cause. A bottle
of Boschee's German Syrup kept about your
home for immediate use will prevent serious
sickness, q large doctors bill, and perhaps
death, by the use of three or four doses.
For curing Consumption, Hemorrhages,
Pneumonia, Severe Coughs, Group or any
disease of the Throat or Lungs, its success
tell you. GermE Syrup is now sold in
every. town and village on this continent.

a Very Goatl . Reason.

The reason why only one sample bottle of
MERRsLL's HEPATIRE for the Liver will be
sold to the same person, for ten cents, by
our Druggists, Simpson, Reid &, Co., is be-
cause OF the enormous expense of import
there are fifty doses in the large size bottles,
1t seems two cents per dose is cheap enough
after all for medicine that cures dyspepsis
and liver complaint. AL: who have not
had sample bottle are entitled to one for
ten nIs: at Simpson, Reid & Eo.'s Drug

pepsia, constipation, indigestion or livez

A PerilOus Position,

About as tight place as ever I go
into, said Comstock miner, was some
years ago at the old Empire shaft, Gold
Hill. Myself and another man were
down in the shaft for the purpose OF
trimming it up, as the swelling ground
was squeezing in the sides and it was a
good deal out Of shaYs.
We we're not on a cage, but simply a
platform made OF planks with ropes
going up from the corners to the main
cable, which was of hemp. When we
reached tight place in the shaft we
stopped and trimmed out the guides,
and then went on till another such place
was reached. AT one point, having given
the signal to lower, we went down some
distance, when we finally stuck. We
reached for tte bell-rope in order to
give the signal to stop, but we had found
that it wound round nail some dis
tance above and we could not use it..
The engineer knew nothing of our
trouble and continued to lower away.
There was no station near, and on all
sides rose the smooth walls of the shaft,
leaving us suspended over the horrible
chasm.
Down upon us came the heavy cable.
We feared every moment that the plat
form would turn over or would be
pressed through the tight place and
drop from under us. All we could do
was to get hold of the cable and keep
the coils of it under our feet as it came
down. Should the platform turn over
or drop from under us we might be able
to save our lives by hanging on to the
cable. We shouted up the shaft till we
were hoarse, but no one heard our cries,
and steadily down came the cable, caus.
ng us great trouble to keep ON top Of
its coils. We felt that the great weight
must soon start the platform, when both
would most likely be hurled to the bot.
tom of the shaft
Finally, to our great relief, the cable
ceased to descend. For long time we
waited in suspense, not knowing what
would be the next move of those above
At last, however, we heard the voice oI
a man shouting down to us from the
nearest station above. We explained
our perilous position in q few words, and
at length the great cable began to craw
slowly up the shaft again. Still being
afraid the platform would give way, We
were obliged to keep hold of the rope
and dance about on the coils as they
unwound.
1t was tedious business, and was al
the time a matter of the toss of {
penny whether we got out alive or wen
to the bottom, but at last the platform
frightened up under us and we began tt
ascend. Our work was over then ant
we felt safe.
On arriving at the surface we fount
that the engineer had concluded tha
we were going to far, and, without halt
ing or stopping his engine, had sent {
man down to the station to find out i
anything had gone wrong.
may have been in more dangerous
places in the mines, but was never in f
place where the danger lasted SO long
and all the time up to fever heat. Il
was too long time for any mans hail

Before the Boston Social Science AS
sociation Robert P. Porter of Chicago
recently read a paper on Municipal
Indebtedness. In it he gave the debt of
1870 cities in the United States as $221,-
312, ,009 in 1866, and $644, ,378, ,663 in
1876. The assessed value of the proper
ty was, in 1856, 80, 451, 6l9, 1881, and in
1876, So, 175, ,0S2, 1853. Annual taxation
in 1866, 1854, ,O60, 098; in 1876, $112, ILL.,
275. Population, 5, ,919, 9l4 in 1866, and
8,576, 249 in 1876 This shows total
increase of the debt in ten years of up
ward of 1920, 900, 900, and an annual in
crease of $40, 100000. With these facts
staring us in the face it is not an exag-
gerated statement to say that the cities
in the United States have to-day debt
of 81, 900, 900, 900, half the sum of the
national debt, and an additional expen-
diture of 1920, 900, 900, within $40, ,000,-
600 of the national. expenses. The liza
bilities are increasing at the rate of $50, :
900, 900 yearly, involving an additional
charge OF 5000, 900 upon the taxpayers.
Allowing for the great shrinkage i'll
values, and continued depression in
business, we find that the property of
taxpayers has already been actually
mortgaged for fifteen per cent. Of its
value; and as this debt has increased at
the rate of $42, 900, 900 yearly, the mort
cages will continue to increase at the
rate of one per cent. annually, and in
another decade will amount to twenty
FIVE per cent OF the assessed valuation of
the property.
Mr.. Porter then read table showing
that the total State indebtedness of the
United States is 1868, Ito, ,976, while the
municipal Indebtedness of one hundred
and thirty cities is upward of 1875, ,OOO,-
900 more than the entire State debt.
State debts then are distributed about
as follows: Western States, ~ 80 per
capita; Eastern States, $8 per capita;
and Southern States $22 per capita.

An Ancient Chanel Discovered.

The remains of chapel built in the
days of the crusades have been dis
covered near the Mount of Olives, Jeru-
salem. The road from the Mount to
Bethany passes along narrow strip of
land which ceases at hill near the viii
lage. On the boarder of this road the
ruins were found several feet below the
surface. The altar of the chapel was
asserted to be on the exact spot where
the Saviour mounted his ass at the Feast
of Palms to ride into Jerusalem. Several
paintings were found upon the stones,
including one of the disciples of Christ
bringing the ass to him another OF the
restoration of Lazarus to life, and
third of group of men engaged in q
quarrel. Lieut.. Kitchener, command
ing the British scientific expedition to
Palestine, has brought the plan of the
chapel to England, and Capt. Guillemot
Of the French army has copied the pic
lures and partly effaced inscriptions. A
bronze shield, with the emblems of the
twelve tribes of Israel upon it, in Italian
workmanship of the eleventh century,
has been appropriated by neighboring
Pasha. who has given permission to have
it photographed.

Found in q Turkeys Gizzard.

The Buda (Ill.) CaH says Some time
about the last of October, Miss Josie
Pomeroy, of Muskota, Kansas, while
visiting her sister, Mrs. George B. Cush-
ing of Indiantown township, in this
county, lost pair of bosom studs made
of two gold dollars. The window being
open it was supposed they had fallen
out. Very diligent search was made,
but all to no purpose. On the day be-
fore Christmas Mr.. Cushing killed one
of his turkeys for the morrow's dinner,
which proved to be very fine fat COB
bier, and, surprising as it may appear,
the very identical gold dollars were
found in the gobbler's gizzard. They
had the appearance of having been in
confinement for some time, as they were
worn quite smooth, showing nothing but
the medallion busts and the indentures
where the spirals were attached, by which
marks they were identified as the long
ost gold studs.
