Our Free Baptist friends are entitled to public
thanks for the very excellen enertsnme ut afford
ed our citizens on Thursday evening in the voca
aud instrume btal concert, which was attended by
large audience. The Possibilities of the flute can
never be rea ized until one has heard Hagop Ha-
rootun Acterisn. 10 the expression Of the old
time favorites "Home, sweet Home" and The
Last Rose of Summer" the delightful measures
of music invoked from the flute by this skillfu
performer raises the soul TO the sublimest heights.
Mrs. Fannie Mlken, whom we have seve, al
times, and justly, we think, characterized as "Au

with fine fleet, with flute obligsto by Mr. Acte-
rian. Miss Lizzie NJ. Robinson, in a sweet little
song, fully justlfes the claims of her friends who
put her in the company of the very excellent mu-
steal talent of the city. Miss Moorlen and Miss
Emma Dewitt, performed several difficult pieces
on the piano, showing that they are fully up in all
the requirements of that instrument. Mr.. Hama
gan added greatly to the Effectiveness Of the

NHE OLDEST CHARTERED INSTITU.
l. tion for the education of Girls in the
Northwest, is situated in Wisconsin, few
miles from the Mississippi, on the Southern
Slope Of Sinsinawa Mound, the highest
point OF land but one, in the Great Basin,
Sinsinawa overlooks three States, standing
as it does, close to the boundary line, and
its elevated position, aside from its grand
eur and beauty, secures perfect healthful-
ness; to high too bereached by the malarial
infueu ces of the low-Iands, while its crest
shields the buildings from the winter winds.
The graceful slopes are we'll wooded, the
clearings necessarily made, designedly
leaving nature to her own plans as far as
possible. This with the distance of tie
place from the large towns, secures unlimi-
ted advantages for outdoor exercise, which
is SO painful a lack in many of our schools.
The plan of instruction carried out in
this Institution, unites every advantages
which can contribute to an education, at
once solid and refined.

A WARNING TO FOREIGN TOURISTS
AGAINST ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
August II, l878.-The Collector at
New Y ork has been instructed by the
Treasury Department to institute suit
through the United States District
Attorney against Mr.. j. Il. Draper for
the forfeiture of the goods recently
seized rt the Custom House, amount
ing in value to $1,000; and also for
the payment of penalty amounting to
three times the value of the goods.
All the facts in the case have been re-
ported to the department, together
with statements ofthe Collector and
the officer making the seizure. The
inventory of the dutiable articles in
clude sets Of decorated china, fourteen
silk umbrellas, twenty-five dozen kid
gloves and numerous other articles,
which, according to Mr.. D. A. Nevin,
in his report to Collector Merritt, the
custodian of the goods must have
known should have been reported as
dutiable. AS it is, the order of Secre-
tary Sherman to the Collector is to be
particularly vigilant in examining the
baggage of the European tourists this
season, and 1t can be stated that all
attempts to evade the customs revenue,
detected will be followed by suits for
the enforcement of the extreme penal
ty of the law. In no other way do the
officials here see the possibility of
breaking up this custom.

TERRIBLE EXPLOSION IN NEGAUN.

TERRIBLE EXPLOSION IN NEGAUN-
EE.-NEGAUNEE, Mich, August 2l-
Another horrible nito-g lycerine ex-
plosion occurred here at about $3.50
this morning, resulting in the instant
death of Henry 3. Huber, Samuel M.
Cooper, Dayton l.. Brown and John j..
Scannell, all unmarried men, who were
in the employ of the Miners Powder
Company, and at whose works they
were at the time of the accident, en-
gagged in the manufacture of glycerlne.
The bodies of Huber and Scannell are
mutjlated past recognition, while the
debris of the company's works is scat
tered around large area. These
works were situated within the corpor.
ate limits of this city, but at quite a
distance from the business portion OF
the town which experienced fearful
shock. The loss on buildings and
stock cannot at present be closely esti
mated. OF course, there is no living
witness to tell the cause of the horror,
and the inquest which is now being
held over the remains cf the unfortu-
mates will elicit but few material facts
In that direction.

A HORSE THAT NEVER LAID

A HORSE THAT NEVER LAID
DowN.-Mr. Charles G.. Russell, a
dairyman, living about three miles
from the city on the St. Charles rock
road, is the owner of a very fine two
year.old colt which it is said never laid
down. Ii sleeps standing ard leans
for support against fences, posts or any
like objects. The hair on its sides ia
always thin through friction with the
obiec against which it leans AL
though it has repeatedly tried to lie
down, it has never succeeded in doing
so, tie attempt always causing evident
pain. The animal is frisky, and no
defect can .oe seen in its form, though
veterinary surgeon, who has examin-
ed it, claims to have found peculiar
formation of the ligatures of the hind
legs, and is certain that is the cause of
the animals inability to lie down.-St

The Beaver Dam Citizen has the
following: In North Lowell, on the
morning of the i3 inst. Mr.. T. G.
Hardy and Mr.. j. E. Hardy, former
residents of North Lowell, went to Mr..
F. Gogert, who purchased the Hardy
homestead some seven years ago. and
requested the privilege of disintering
an infant buried on the premises some
years previous to their selling out.
Permission being granted, they got the
loan of shovel and a crow bar, went
south of the barn about six rods, and
about three feet south of two small
black oak trees, commenced digging.
On arriving about two feet below the
surface, they came to box about TWO
feet square, when one of them request
ed Mr.. Gogert to go with him to the
house for drink. As soon as they
left the remaining brother deposited
the contents Of the box into bag aud
drove up to the house, after which
they drove over to Mr.. Waddelrs.
At the latter place the contents of the
bag was slightly inspected, and found
to consist of silver half dollars, and
silverware, such as spoons, &c. Your
reporter in company with some others,
went and inspected the hole and con-
versed with Mr.. Gogert, who is Una
BILE to account for the strange event.
The great mystery is, why it was not
taken by them when they sold out and
moved away; and why the lapse of
several years.

The Lien Law.
MADISON STATION. February S
OBSERVER

MADISON STATION, February s, 1878.
To the Editors of the C4rion
AS there SEEM to be considerable differ
ence of opinion as to the lien law. have
concluded to give my views on the subject.
[ think the law as it is is a good law but like
most laws has been much abused and has
had a bad influence in this particular
Mr.. B. comes to Mr.. A. and asks for supplies
to run him for the year. Mr.. a. says ''well
what have you to deed in trust to me so as
to make me secure in so doing?" B. has Il
mule, or mules, cows, stock and probably
land, with the prospect of a crop. A. says
"ifyOu will give me deed OF trust L will run
you for the year. provided you don't want
more than so much" B. complies, and com :
mences to farm with hope OF paying ont at
the close of the year. 3. has placed
himself in the full power of A. and
in many Instances, A. commences to
"gOuge," or in other words, sells him goods
aud supplies at from fifty to one hundred
per cent. above the cash prices. 3. tolls on
until the crop is ready to gather; then in
quires as to amount of his Indebtedness
when examined, he finds eXOrbitant charges,
and he will have none OF his crop left to
support his wife and children for another
year, and very often his mule and forty
acres of land goes too. elf-prOtection is
one of the laws Of nature, so B. commences
to look for some chance to save something
Of his hard earnings, and consequently he
acts in bad faith. SO this transaction has
| caused two men to do wrong. If this can be
| obvated, would it be great improvement
| in the community to make two fair men in
| place Of two unfair dealers? [ think ii
would be of as much, or more, use in inn
proving the morals and condition of the
county than the teachings of Beecher him
| self
Now for the remedy. When B deeds and
trusts Alto furnish him for the year for sup
! plies, he is supposed to sell his goods at Z
| profit tor cash, then allow A. to charge 3 Is
| or 20 per cent. on the cash price, and NJ
more; and in case A. does charge more, theI
on proof of same, he shall lose the whole OF
| the amount charged above the cash price
| which would amount TO usury. l.. f. Nj.
