A MAINE MURDER CLEARING UP.
BANGOR, Me-, Jan. 30-On the evening Of
the 22d of last February John Wilson Bar.
ron, Treasurer of the Dexter Savings Bank,
was found in the bank vault, wounded,
gagged and handcuffed. He was uncon-
scious, and soon after being removed from
the vault, died. There was no clue to the
murderers, but startling developments are
on the tapis now, and it is probable that
the guilty parties will be discovered shortly.
MURDERED AND CREMATED.
MACON, GA, Jan. 30.-Yesterday the store
of man named Wittikine, in the country,
was discovered in flames. The front door
was broken open and Wittikine found near
the door burned to cinder and his skull
broken. There is no clue to the perpe-
traitors of the murder, and great excitement
exists
MUSIC FROM THE MOUNTAINS.
CHARLOTTE, N. c., Jan. 30-A few days
ago disagreement occurred between Elijah
Church and Reilly Tedder on one side, and
Alfred Edmondson, all notorious outlaws,
in the mountains. Edmondson shot and
killed both Tedder and Church. As the
latter fell he plunged knife into Edmond
sons shoulder but the wound is not serious.
Edmondson escaped.

well insured.
JUROR FROM HIS PEERS
ST. LOUIS Jan. 30.-The trial of Kring
who murdered Mrs Dora Broemeier because
she refused to elope with hirl, came to an
abrupt termination yesterday. After hav-
ing been given to the jury it was discov-
cred that one of the jurors who had sworn
that he did not know Kring had been an
inmate of the City Jail with him. This
was the third trial of the case, Kring having
been once under sentence of death. The
costs to the State already amount to
$50 000

Queer Old Silver.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer
A few days ago the express brought
to this city a large quantity of silver
coin. supposed TO be Q SZo,oO'.
1t was consigned to the Fourth Ma,
tional Bank. corner OF lhlru anu
Walnut streets. There would nave
been nothing SO strange Dol thlS IN
c1dent if it had not been known that
the coin was of an extraordinary klnd
and was enveloped IN a mysterious
history. 1t was Of the de-
nomination, and every piece pore the
date of the American MINI,
that it was coined prior to 1854 Inc
strangest feature Of all remains, now
ever. to be cited. Not n OF the OH
has ever been in circulation: ana are
as bright and rough as when they
dropped fir, the Mint, nearly half a
century ago. Where has this money
been all these many years? It is we'll
known that the $50, 900 received IN
Cincinnati is only part OF the whole
amount of $75, 900 OF this coin which
has been shipped from Pittsburg to
various points of the country. One
theory is that it is a thief's plant"
lust discovered and dug up by some
lucky fellow. Another theory puts
the matter in a speculatory light. 1t
is known that shortly after the late
of this moneys coin 'ge, under Gen.
Jackson's administration, silver was
debased. Might it not be, then, that
some one invested largely in the de-
based coin and boarded it away on a
speculation? Whatever the history
of the strange money be-, it is a curl
Gus one. 1t becomes almost OF ma
tional importance to know that S15,-
O 0 of this ancient silver is being
poured into the current OF trade.

EQUALITY.-There not a district in
the North in which a negro would poll
anything like the full Republican vote.
Indeed the men who are loudest in
their demands for equality of the ra-
ces would be among the first to ppose
the nomination of a negro for office.
Yet these men seem to think that the
Union is disrupted and chaos is coming
again. because the brains culture and
wealth of the South are not repre-
sented in Congress by such curse TO-
norant and vicious fellows as Smails
and others who have held seats in the
Washington Post.

SET Up Your BAR AT HoME.-Bar-
keepers in this city pay, on average,
So per gallon for whiskey. One gal
lon contains an average of sixty-fve
drinks, and at ten cents a drink the
poor man pays Sc. so per gallon for his
whiskey. In other words he pays 81
for the whiskey and $3.50 to a man
for handing it over the bar. Make
your wife your barkeeper, Lend her
81 to buy a gallon of whiskey for a be-
ginning, and every time you want 1
drink go to her and pay ten cents for
it. By the time you have drank a gall
lon she will have six dollars and a half
or enough money to refund the two
dollars borrowed of you to pay for
another gallon of liquor, and have a
balance of two dollars and a half.
She will be able to conduct future OBJ
erations On her W capital, and when
you become an inebriate, unable to
support yourself, Stunned and de-
spised by all respectable persons, your
wife will have money enough to keep
you until you get ready to fill a drunk
ards grave.

The REASON WHY.-A boy returned
from school day with a report
that his scholarship had fallen below
the usual average.
"Well," said the father, ''you have
fallen behind this month, have you ?"
Eyes, sir"
SLOW did it happen?'
"Don't know, sir"
The father knew, if his son did not.
He had observed a number of cheap
novels scattered about the house, but
he had not thought it worth while to
say anything until a fitting opportuni-
ty should offer itself. A basket of ap-
Piles stood upon the floor and he said:
Empty those apples and take the
basket and bring it to me half full of
chips. And now" he continued, put
those apples back into the basket
When the apples were replaced the
son said:
Father, they roll off, l can't put in
any more"
"Put them in, / tell you"
"But, father, / can't put them in"
PUT them in . No, of course you
can't put them in. Do you expect to
fill a basket half full Of chips and then
fill it with apples? You said you didn't
know how you fell behind at school
and I will tell you. Your mind is like
that basket; it will not hold much
more than so much; end here you
have been the past month filling it up
with rubish-worthless cheap novels"
The boy turned on his heel and
whistled and said:
"Whew | see the point.'-Sun

SURE SIGNs.-To lose none is q
sign of bad luck.
TO meet a funeral is a sign of death.
10 dlssipate to day is a sign your
hair will pull tomorrow.
10 kiss a pretty girl against her will
is a sign you'll get your face scratched.
10 take home piece IF beefsteak is
a sign there will be a broil in the fam.
lily.
10 see a dog fly at a farmers leg is
a sign a misfortune is a going to be-
fall his calves.
10 see a man loafing around a bar
room Is a sign he'll drink if o ask
him to.
10 see your sweetheart kiss another
fellow IS a sign you will be disappoint-
ed in a love affair.

Here lies an old woman who always was
tired,
For She lived In a house where help was
Her last words on earth were, Dear frienos

Where nothing ANT done, cor churnIng,
nor SOWING
Ana everything there will be just to my
wish 8.
For where they don't eat there's no washing
of dishes,
I'll be where loved anthems will always be
ringing,
But having no voice I'll get rid OF the sing
ing:
Don't mourn for me now, and don't mourn
for me never,
For I'm so jng to do nothing for ever and

in which the various con- functions Of
the sun aud moon were completed;
and they return to their original po-
5itions in regard to each other. You
know the Greeks Were also familiar
with this cycle of nine cen years, and
thew called it, the Metonic cycle.
Now observe how the number seven
runs throughout this calculation of
time, while natures great chronome-
tiers. the sun and noon keep time to
the divine number. The word Pente>
cost YOU know means tifty:-ls SOC as
seven weeks fOrty-nine days. we call
the next a PentecOst. Seven of these
pentecosts completed the Jewish year.
In their cycle of nineteen years, sever
embolismic months at various times
are introduced. Then the Sabbatic
years were every seventh year;-and
when seven times even years were
| completed, came the fiftieth, the grand
year of jubilee! And when fifty
times fifty jubilees were completed,
Christ was crucified. That is, count
ing from the date of Gods covenant
with Noah 246S, B. q. With him
whose name was ~"rest," or "%rellef, "
commenced the sign Of the Sabbath,
the relief. For said his father La
mach, in giving him this prophetical
name, "this one shall comfort us('shall
repent'-.'shall relieoe' us) concerns
ing our work and toll of our hands
because Of the ground achich the Lord
hath cursed" Genesis 5: 29.) This
seems to me SO wonderful a fulfllment
of prophecy, hat l regard it with
utter amaZement.
We learn from Astronomers that
i the number seven runs in still another
way throughout these fifty jubilees.
l will read to you n sentence from
Rees' Cyclopedia on cycles: 1.-The
cycle of 10 years gains almost a day
every 800 years SO that, in $500 years,
we gain s days hence, after having
applied the lunar equation Of the epacts
seuen times successfully at intervals
Of 800 years each time, it must be APP
piled the eighth time at an interval of
400 years." Was it not Pythagoras
who said that "all truth could be dis
covered by the aid of numbers? -
Chesney was s imaginative that |
concluded to consult DR.. NJ. before l
accepted all be said on this subject.
But his ideas had n good effect upon
me. | began to study the Bible with
a new and intense interest compared
with it, the most thrilling romance
seemed tame.

How TO BRING Up YOUR CHILD =
l. Begin young by giving him what
ever he cries for.
2. Talk freely before the child about
his smartness as incompatible.
3, Tell him that he is too much for
you, that you can do nothing with
him.
4. Have divided counsels as between
father and mother.
s.. Let him learn TO regard his father
as a creature Of unlimited power, ca
PRECIOUS and tyranical, or as a mere
whipping machine.
6. Let him learn from his fathers
example, to despise his mother.
Z. Do not know or care who his
companions may be.
Z. Let him read what he likes.
8. Let the child, whether girl or
boy, rove the streets in the evenings
a good school for both sexes,
10. Devote yourself to making mon
ely, remembering always that wealth is
to better legacy for your children than
principles In the heart and habits in
the life; and let him have plenty of
money TO spend.
II. Be not with him in the hours of
recreation.
y. Strain at a nat and swallow a
camel; chastise him severely for a
foible and laugh a. a vice.
l3. Let him run about from church,
to church. Eclecticism in religion is
the order Of the day.
IA. Whatever burdens of v%irtuous
requirements you lay on his shoulders,
touch not one with one of your fingers
Preach gold and practice irredeema-
bic greenbacks.
b rules are not untried. MANY
parents have approved them without
substantial uniformity of results. If a
faithful observance of them does no,
spoil your child you have the com
Portable reflection that you have done
what you could.

We are sure that very large mum
Der of people in Wilmington will be
glad to hear that Thomas NJ. Ogle will
open an auction st,re at JO6 Market
street on Thursday afternoon next at
. o'clock. Mr.. Ogle is we'll known is a
successful auctioneer, successful be-
cause he always keeps the people in a
good humor by making some quaint re-
mark and cracking q joke. He has
found that sweetness oftemrer brings
the answer in auctioneer's sales. HIS
opening will no doubt be large one,
we know that the furniture is amongst
the best that can be offered. 1t is but
seldom that such good furniture is of :,
cred at auction. 1t will be an exhibit
tion all day Wednesday, and we have
no doubt whatever that the ex-Recor-
der will greet all his friends with his
best bow. The store it will be remem-
bered, is the one lately occupied by
Adams g. Bro, which has been hand
somely repainted in front, and the walls
and ceilings inside have been beauti-
fully kalsomined in various tinted blue
colors which greatly improves the
appearance of the place. We repeat,
go to Ogle's if you want the best Of
furniture at the lowest prices, and
if you want to be kept in good
humor while you are buying it.
