A Counterfeiter Arrested.

HAzLEToN, Pa, Jan. 8. - Domineck
McGlinn, of this place, was arrested for
passing counterfeit money-fve dollar
bills on the bank of Hanover, Pa. In
default of bail the prisoner was held for
a further hearing.
A gang of counterfeiters has been
operating in this section for several
weeks and have succeeded in passing a
considerable amount of the spurious
money, principally on the First national
bank of Tamaqua, the Third national
bank of Buffalo and the Hanover
national bank. The counterfeits are
well executed and have deceived even
some of the bank officials.

preserved fruits are all largely imported.
A market may be found in time for
California and Pleasant Valley wines,
which have an increasing reputation, to
be further increased by more delicacy of
taste and greater freedom from spirit.
Mr.. Shepard calls attention to the eff
feet of the WOOL and dye stufls duties in
the United States in preventing the free
competition of American woolen goods
in foreign markets. American wool is
lustreless, and the manufacturer must
import the raw material and pay the
duty thereon If he desires to compete in
the foreign market for lustre goods.

Our Trade With England.

WAsHINGToN, Jan. THE United
States Consul at Bradford, England, in
reply to the trade circular of the Depart
ment of State, says: Our agricultural
implements and mechanics tools are of
acknowledged superiority; our roof
states and lumber could supplant those
of Norway, now so extensively inn
ported.
American watches are rapidly dis
placing those of Swiss and English
make, through their superiority and
cheapness; pork and beef are fast grow

and cheese is astounding, the latter be-

Not Easily Scared.

A large number of people assembled
in Alphonsus' Catholic Church, Wheel
ing, w. Va, after morning service on
Sunday to witness marriage. The
priest had commenced the ceremony
when smoke was discovered issuing
from the ceiling. The couple glanced
up and calmly told the clergyman to
proceed, which he did, and the two were
soon united. A piece of the ceiling
cracked and fell, causing general stam-
pede, in which several persons were
slightly injured. The flames were soon
subdued, but not until damage to the
extent of $1,000 had been occasioned.

Unpleasant Experiments.

A recent suit of Ira Melendy, of Brad
ford, VT, in which he recovered $5 600
from the town for injuries received on
the highway, was singular one in
some respects. He claimed that his ac-
cident resulted in paralysis of his legs,
so that these were as if dead as far as
movement and feeling were concerned
The efforts of the defense were to show
that he was shamming, and so medical
experts were called, pins stuck into his
legs, cuts made and ammonia applied
and ether given, yet he never WINGED
and his muscles never contracted. Some
of the physicians testified that such q
paralysis as was claimed was an impos-
sibility, but the jury didn't believe that
man could have nerve enough to stand
such tests if there was any feeling in
the parts experimental upon. He will
probably have to go through all this
again, though, for the defense have ap-
pealed.

THERE is now a slight prospect of
peace in Europe. Turkey has asked for
an armistice, proposing terms. Russia
has agreed to treat and it only remains
to come to an agreement. Turkey will
probably agree to anything that does not
prejudice her position in the negotia-
tions for peace that must follow. If
terms are not now made, there is little
chance to avoid long and disastrous
war, in which England will probably
become involved.

ing despatch dated the 10th inst, has

gratulate your majesty upon brilliant
