A MILWAUKEE firm has been selling
cakes of soap which are found, upon
use, to contain a large piece of wood.
The firm say, instead of making a
small cake, the same amount of soap is
put around a block of wood, and it is
thus possible to use the whole without
any going to waste" This explanatian
is regarded as rather thin by the Mil

their soap with stick in it. r

Fraud in Bank Bills.

The United States Treasurer is ad
vised of constantly increasing attempts
by persons in various sections of the
country to cheat the Government and
innocent people by practicing what is
known as the "piecing process"
whereby given number of currency
notes of like denomination are cut in
pieces, and SO pasted together as to
give an increased number. The mani
puiators generally take ten notes, and
by cutting and adroit piecing make
eleven, thereby gaining one at the ex-
pense of the other ten. OF course the
diminished notes get into the hands
Of innocent holders, and when sent to
the Treasury Department for redemp-
ton they are at once detected by the
Treasury experts and thrown out. The
regulations for redeeming mutilated
currency do not admit of anything ex-
cept in q single piece containing at
least one-half of the original, which
makes it still harder for those into
whose hands these nicely pasted frag
ments fall.

can, therefore, be neutralized by an al

as most economical agent, which will
prove very effective in preventing the

bage plants which are raised from seed
sown'in the open ground about the middle
Of September, transplanted to the cold

tered there. Under few separate sash
we have lettuce growing very thickly,
which, as soon as the cabbage plants are
taken out-Bhich can be done with safety
BY the first of March-are planted out
about 3 inches apart in the place Of the
cabbage plants. The Lettuce is sold off
by the middle of April. or in time for to-
mato plants, which have been grown thick

room. When we commence selling our
tomato plants we take them from the cen
ter Of each sash first, and as soon as we
have a foot square Of space, thus vacated,
we plant in few seeds of early cluster
cucumber; the plants being all out by the
time our vines are ready to run. Thus we
make our sash each bring in five or six dol

The New York Tribune has treed the
''safe man" who went down from New
York to Baltimore on the 3gth of Novem-
Der, 1876, with the $4,000 to be used in
buying the electoral vote of. South Caro-
lima for Tilden. The case is now developed
to an absolute certainty. By the tele-
grams which have been heretofore trans
lated by the Tribune, Weed, who had been
sent down to manipulate South Carolina in
the interest of Tilden, telegraphed to New
York that he would need $4,000 to bribe
the Board of Canvassers at Columbia. and
specified that it should be sent to Balti-
mere Sin three packages" by some safe
man whom he would meet there and re-
ceiYe the money from. Accordingly, on
Saturday night, the 18th of November,
Weed Jeff Columbia for Baltimore, here
he arrived on Monday morning and put up
at Barnum's Hotel, and registered his full
name. The Tribune now discovers by the
register of the Mount Vernon Hotel,
small, out-of-the-way tavern IN Baltimore,
that Pelton arrived there on the same Mon
day, November 20th, by the early train
from New York. He was accompanied by
a friend, and about 10 o'clock in the morn
ing the two drove away together. Before

KINGSVILLE.

Eds. TsE.:-The ''oil well, of which you
have heard so much. has now reached the
depth Of $50 feet. The contract was for
400. but with So much promise Of oil and
gas, Mr.. FicIdager succeeded in inducing
Mr.. Sparks, the operator, to continue his
work until SEQ feet were reached. The
material through which the boring has been
done, may be stated as follows: go feet
Of gray shale; SO feet OF red slate; and the
last 16 feet of gray slate. These are con-
sidered favorable lndications-equal to
those found at the Brlndford and Button
districts in Pennsylvania. The strength
Of the oder Of oil and gas increases
with the depth Of the bore, and upon this
hangs the promise. The well is in close
proximity to Fickinger's saw mill, and
the power for drilling has been furnished
by his engine. The equipments are first
class, and Mr.. Spark, the operator is ex-
perieneee in the business and his work is
we'll and thoroughly done. The feeling is
a common one, that now, so good beginn-
lug has been made, that the test should be
made as thorough and satisfactory as can
be. and that the work should not be inter
rupted at any point short of 1,2O0 feet, if
the end sought is not found before. The
expense now for continuing and attaining
that depth, viii be comparatively small.
But to do this some outside help will be
needful, as Mr.. Fickitger has exhausted
his means. Unless, therefore, help is OBJ
tanned, the enterprise viii stop the present
week with the 5000 and its dependents.
This would be, if not a calamity, sense of
deep regret, now as well as in the future.
If oil should be strickland gas also, it is
believed that they viii repay the exPendi-
ture, and prove source Of revenue. 1t
will lead to the-sinking af other wells, and
may prove permanent industry and
source of wealth to the neightorhood. The
interest of continuing the work and secur-
ing the prospective reward, is one in which
Kingsville. not only, but the region may
participate. The public is inEited to come
and examine the character ef the rock
brought up, and take a sniff Of the next
thing to oil that Genes from it. We no
tice that the rock is new growing darker,
