PRETTY NEAR a ROMANCE.

We noted the death last week of
Charles Smith, by falling down stairs
at the Erie House, Bradford. Mr.,
Smith had a history. His real name
was MiIlIgau Foster, Eight or ten
years ago he left his wife and two
children at Kane City, where they
then lived, and went to The lower
oil region, and finally drfied around
to Bradford, assuming the name of
Smith. There, or in the neighbor-
hood, he married again, His body
was brought to the house OF his sis.
ter, near Wallacevile, where the
funeral ceremonies were held. His
second marriage was not known to
his friends, and his second wife was
uuable to accompany the remains, as
she was Frustrated by the shock
caused by his sudden death. Word
was sent to his first and real wife to
attend the funeral. l he messenger
found her standing on the floor, go
ing through a marriage ceremony
with a successor to the man who
had deserted her so many years be
fore, and whom she supposed dead,
though she did not suppose such to
be the fact. The wedding went on
At the cloEe of the ceremony the
messenger told his doIeful errand, the
newly married couple attended the
funeral of Milligan Foster, alias
Charles Smith. The second wife of
Foster did not know that he had a
wife when she married him. Both
women are said to bear exemplary
characters. -Mead0aie Reporter.

COUNTERFEIT SILVER DOLLAR

New and excellent counterfeit sill,
yer dollals are just out, and will de-
ceive every one unless careful at,
ten,ion is paid The general ap
pearance of the piece is very good
indeed. Even acids will not act on
it. The weight, however, is against
it, the scales showing that it has just
seven. tenths of the weight which the
standard dollar should have. There
we're other minor defects which we're
escertained after some little exami
nation. 1t is a trfe thicker. for in.
stance, than the standard dollar, and
the milling on the edge is imperfect.
The figures 49, in "lS78" are also
imperfect, having dots in each loop
The same fault attaches to the "P'
N "E PIurbus Unum." The bot
tom of the "l' in "Pluribus," should
be- straight, but is slightly curved,
and the bottoms OF many OF the let"
ters in "United States of America"
are slightly crooked and broken.
The counterfeit is a composition with

verbally careful tradesman will need
to evince an extra amount of caution

Some of the Absurd Methods Used =

How Money is Wasted.
Cincinnati Gazette
One of the queer things 10 BUSH
ness is the propensity of people to
seek irregular mediums for advertise
ing. 1t is unaccountsble the prices
some men pay for sticking their adj
vertisements in irregular places.
Especially 10 this so when compared
with their unwilingness to pay any.
thing for advertising in the regular
channels. Men will pay large sums
for inserting their business cards 10
a section of frame 10 a hotel, BAR
room, street car, railway station or
in hotel register or All almanac or
guild book or an annual OF one sort
or another. The by>ways they seek
or that successfully solicit them are
innumerable. Likewise they will
spend large sums printing special
circulars, and in postage to send
them. In all this they ignore the
most essential condition in advertis-
ing, namely, that it has the charac>
ter and effect from the medium
through which it is given to the read>
or. Advertisements thrust into ir-
regular and unbusinesslike places
impress the general mind that the
concern is OF similar character.
GA the other hand, an advertisement
in a general newspaper of first class
standing carries the impression that
the advertiser has standing in his
own community, which he is not
afraid to show to his neighbors, and
that he does not shrink from compe.
tition with the best of them. These
are the different impressions that are
made on all minds by advertising ia
a journal Of high character and cir>
culation among the reputable class
es, and when seen in by>places and
irregular or low channels. Every
one fnds this in his own feelings, if
he would but think on the subject.
If anyone is going to place to buy,
whether he be trader or buying for
his own use, and has to seek dealers
through advertisements, where will
he look for them 7 To registers, all
manacs, theater- bill frames, in rail-
way stations, occasional advertising
sheet or circular On the contrary,
he looks to the most reputable news
paper of the place, and he thinks
that advertising 10 these gives an
assurance of the good standing of
the advertiser and his business enter
prise and Of the sufficieucy of his
stock.

cannot resent the injury, as il is for

Funer als in New York.

Is there as much extravaganza in funerals as there used to be?' inquired New York reporter of an undertaken.
 "Oh, no I suppose few trades suffer more severely from the hard times than ours. Persons who used to spare DO expense at the funerals of their dead now calculate every penny, and in all cases, except, strange to say, the very poor, the desire for display has given place to strict economy. There are ex- captions, of course, but they are few and far between. In the past twenty years an almost entire change has been worked in one essential of funerals. I mean the carriages. In old times 1t was customary for families to send out funeral invitations, and provide car riages for those who came, but now the practice is for friends of the family to hire their own carriages. This custom was in vogue among the Irish many years ago, but now 1t is gaining ground among the Germans and Americans. It is no uncommon thing in Irish funerals for four friends of the dead persons to hire carriage and attend the funeral, and the Germans are rapidly adopting the same economical habit. Since 1869 the falling of in the number of carriages has been gradual, but steady. Then a hearse followed by one hundred car riages was not regarded as rarity now if half that number of carriages were in line persons would wonder who Is dead. The French and Italians generally like to provide carriages for those invited to funerals, but the former are gradually settling into the Irish American custom.
 ~ ID x11fr rlz< funerals, the undertaken resumed, after having opened case and gazed for a while in silent ecstacy at group of polished caskets, you ought to go to a celored persons burying. You have no idea how provident and methodical the better class of colored folks are as to their funerals. Why, in this neighbor- hood alone they have established num- Der of burial societies that are well sup ported. The principle of these institu- tions is much like that of the building associations so popular in Philadelphia and other cities. The members pay so much each per month until certain sum is reached. Should death oyertake them before that sum is paid, the society l buries them out of it's surplus funds. ] know of colored women who belonged to
 three or four of these societies at one time. One that we buried last week
 had burial fund of $20O, and avery
 cent of it was spent on her fnaeral by l. the heirs. Poor things They ln-
 herited nothing. But ia all colored
 funerals, mostly, the lanliy hires the
 carriages, and friens are invited pretty \ much as they wo4ld be to feast. The undertaken is Landed list of those who
