An Embarrassing Situation.

An English professor and a young lady from Baltimore were recently wrecked in rocky cave near Mount Desert at nightfall. They had gone into the cave in a small boat, and were sitting on the rocks talking about mineralcgy- Suddenly a big wave broke into the cavern and swamped the boat. The Englishman plunged into the boiling surf, endcavoring with the frenzy of despair to collect the remnants of the frail bark. Useless for the purpose of navigation, the shattered craft might still serve as fuel, for the cave was cool and damp, and the shades of night were coming on- The pro- lessor had lucifer matches and he built fire, and there they remained until morning, when some fishermen, amazed at the unwonled spectacle of smoke emerging from a cleft in the rocks of an unhabited island, ven- tured in to the rescue of the impris- ened couple, and with the aid of ropes drew them from their perilous position.

Cherry Creek Mines.

Miner: Mir. A. NJ. Smith, Super
 intendent and General Manager of
 the Golden Era Mining Company,
 came in last evening from Cherry
 Creek in company with MT. Gospcr, one of the owners. The company have their saw mill about ready to run, the only thing lacking is 600 feet of piping, which is being made at the tin shop of Messrs. Frederick 6 Hill. So soon as they can manr- facture the necessary lumber fer the erection of their quartz mlll, large force of men will be put to work in it's erection and all of this can be ac- complished during the next forty days, when we expect to be able to chronicle the successful working of the Golden Era quartz mill. Since the company started to put up machii !. cry, few weeks ago, several very valuable gold leads have been dis covered in the district, and the great est activity prevails althrough the hills in and around Cherry Creek. The latest find is huge gold mine, four feet wide, by a MT. Sessions, formerly proprietor of the Big Bug station. The lead is said to be ex- tensive and the ore extraordinary rich. We are more thoroughly con vinced that our country is hardly over, and that hereafter all of our best mines are to be discover .4

Concentrated Food For Horses.
 It IS known that the Rassian and
 Prussian Government have adopted
 Q kind of biscuit for horses contain ing much nutritivc matter in small volume. According to L0 Nature, the biscuits are formed of the meal of oats, peas and lindseed- The va rious combinations have been studied with care, and mixture has been obtained such that one kilogTamme of it is equivalent to five kilogram- mes of oats. It has been found that horses bear fatigue better and are more vigorously when fed with these biscuit than when fed with oats. The biscuits can be threaded togeth. CT by means of an iron wire; thus Q horse may carry its own food for four or five days. During the late war with Turkey, Russia used 20 ,oo0.' 900 of these biscuits aud the res94s were so good that the sunhoritfes have continued their use jD tiDe o1 peace. -

The Implements of Trade.

H. c. Shaw. publisher of the Pa- ctfe LJe, brought suit some time ago against Sheriff Nnnan, for the return of printing material which had been seized in payment of e debt, ion the ground that they were implements of trade and were therefore exempt from attachment under the Code Justice Wright decided the case in favor of the plaintiff, when the Sher- iff appealed to the Municipal Court of Appeals, and Judge Freelon has reversed the decision of Justice Wright, holding that the type and other property seized, did not legally constitute implements of trade, and could be attached in payment Of 8 proven debt.

4 Moving County Seat

The town of Covington cn c bluff of the Mississippi is fast losing ground. The banks are gradually being eaten away, and the ground on which the Courthouse stood year ago is now covered by many feet of flowing water. A few days ago the current set inshore, and took of a strip of land thirty feet wide in a few hours; theSeupon the buildings left near the water were moved back, and a few days after the land upon which they stood was also taken away. Two years ago there were six hundred feet of land between the principal hotel and the river bank, but now one can toss a stone out of the hotel window into the river, and tue building is being put on rollers for removal,

PENNSYLVANIA BOND ACCOUNT.

THE APPARENT ovERIssUE ACCOUNTED FOR BIZ
AN OVERSIGHT IN THE AUDITOR GENERALe
BEDFORD SPRINGS July II. 1879.
The supposed overissue of State bonds is fully
explained by the discovery. by the investigating
committee. of the coupon book kept in the State
Treasury. but supposed heretofore not TO have ex-
listed. BY this book 1t appears that $5.000.000
In bonds were issued of the date Of 1862 and
100000 Of the date of 1853. These bonds
were placed in the hands of the Girard
Bank and s5,4Ooooo returned as solo, and
receipt given to Bailey State Treasurer for the
naming 100000. The receipt remained in the Treas
ury until 1855. when Henry $. Magraw. then State
Treasurer demanded the return of the bonds. The
bank it's president returned instead Of the bonds
of 1853. s2s.O0O in money, $4,000 OF the bonds of
1853. aud s2i 900 OF the bonds Of 1852. max
ing . total of 100000. The Auditor Gen.
erals office at that time appears to have
not noted the fact that $4,000 of
the bonds dated 1852. but credited them to the
loan of 1883 thus making the loan OF 1852 $5OO0O00
and 1853 $42G instead OF 1882 900 and 1858
$449oo0. Thus the apparent overissue is simply
more oil the issue of 1868 and less Of the issue Of
1862, one amount balancing the other.
