II is announced that the Treasury De

tits announced that the Treasury Depart
ment discovered very perfect counterfeit of
the 81 bills of the Eagle National Bank of
Boston. The counterfeit is photograph of
the original bill and is very deceptive, the bill
discovered in the department having passed
through the hands of several counters with
out deteeton. This is the third case of
counterfeit by photography discovered by
the department within short time. The
work is done perfectly as to deceive almost
any bank official. unless his attention should
be called to the fact that there existed such
counterfeit. The most glaring defects arc
that the red ink in which the numbers are
printed is not.the tint used in the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing, and that the green
of the back is mere wash, which on exam.
inatfon can deceive no one. The pictures also,
on close scrutiny, have the uumistakabe
signs of photography.

burglars made right clever haul in Glen
Gardner again last Thursday night. They
broke into the residence of Dr. Thos E.
Hunt and stole two gold watches and chains,
some silverware aud sum of money, and
made general ransacking of the house with
out arousing any of the inmates. They then
proceeded to the residence of Rev Mr.. Amber
son, but just what booty they there obtained
our informant could not say. Mr.. Anderson
was awakened by the noise, and springing
out of bed was just in time to see man re-
treat through his bedroom window. A gold
watch and sum of money were in the pock-
cts of his clothes which hung at the head of
his bed, and it was fortunate that he was
awakened or they would have been stolen.
We also hear that another house in the place
was broken into on the same night, but whose
it was or whether anything was taken or not,
our informant could not positively speak
Hgaterd0n Democrat.

ARREsTED.-A stranger wanting to sell a
horse, visited Mr.. A. J. Beaumont in Sole
bury, one morning last week. The man told
very peculiar story that aroused suspicion in
Mr.. Beaumont's mind-as to whose property
the animal was. The horse was offered for a
small sum of money, entirely too small figure
for SO fine an animal. Mr.. B. induced the
man to come to New Hope with him, and then
had a warrant issued, and Constable benson
arrested the man. While on his way along
the street, in the custody of the officer he
"gave the slip " and ran away. Pursuit was
Immediately instituted. John Cotton and
Thomas Ely were the foremost in the chase
and overlook the fugitive, before he had got
far away from the town. He was brought be
fore Squire johnson, and as his story was fan
more conflicting than consistency would allow,
the prisoner was sent to the Doylestown Jail
to await the coming session of Court.

THE BUILDING g LOAN ASSOCIATIONS
The stated meeting of the Mutual B. & l..
Association was held on Saturday, the 10Th
inst. The money of this institution does not
find purchasers amongst the stockholders, but
is placed out on special loans, at legal inter-
est, on such collateral security as is satisfac-
tory to its directors !; but as the time is draw
ing near for it to close they do not lend on
bond and mortgage, as it will take too long to
correct this kind of security into cash.
The Centennial 3. g. L. Association hel
its regular monthly meeting on Monday ev-
ening, the 18th inst, at which cash loans
were sold as follows: at $t6.25 at Sill
so u; at $11.25 2 at $1,000. The funds of
this institution, ever since its organization,
have found ready purchasers, but not at as
high figure as some would desire. But the
loans have sold at good regular figure which
if continued will bring it through in good
time.

Haas, Of Nev Hope, pulled three ears ofsweet
corn from his garden patch. The first ear
had eight smaller ears clustered around it /;
the second was surrounded by niue ears, and
the third with ten ears. The ears were all
well developed--the three main ears large
and the others, of course, smaller. The husks
around each of the three ears made large
bulk, but no one suspected the family

"A boy PANIED Jas Keyser, who worked
for Lott Phillips, near this city, some months
ago, ran away from him, carrying off some
money and clothing. He turned up in Har-
risburg. His conduct there is thus related by
the Harrisburg Independent of the 18th inst. :
James Keyser is a very bad boy and if
caught will no doubt spend a time in the peni-
Tertiary. James came to the residence of Dir.
M. f. Raysor, the druggist Of 432 Market ST.,
some time ago, and the services of boy be-
ing needed, he was employed to tend the horse
and do chores around the house. He appear
ed to be steady young fellow and claimed
Lambertville, N. j., as his home and the resi-
dence of his guardian.
DIR. Raysor wrote to his guardian and in re-
ply got an answer that he had secured the
boy good place in Lambertville, where he
worked steadily and was well liked, but he
had left suddenly early one morning, taking
ten dollars and a number of articles from the
place. This is exactly what he did at the
Doctors this morning. He got up, it is sup
posed, about o'clock, entered the store by the
rear door by means Of key, and took four
dollars from the drawer, three dollars belong
ing to an apprentice of the establishment
and q number" of combs, brushes, pocket
books, etc, and then decamped "A pair of
shoes belonging to Frank Keet, the assistant
in the store, were taken, but were found at
the alley gate, by which means the young
robber escaped. Keiser is about Is years old,
freekied and wears a cap.
Subsequent investigation by Dir. Raysor
disclosed the fact that young Keiser had in
formed another lad named Maglaughlin, Who
is the Office boy of Dr. Rahler that he Key
ser)intended to rob the store at 10 O'clock
last night, then take the 1910 train to Phla-
delpiiia, thence to New York, and finally
back to Lambertvile, N. j., where he came
from. That he had made q duplicate key of
the store room, and that lie had been plan
ming the robbery for some time back
Young Maglaughlin made this statement in
order to clear his own skirts, suspicion hav-
ing arisen that owing to his companionship
with Keiser, he might be arrested as par
ticipant in the robbery. DR.. Raysor estimates
the value Of the articles stolen from his store,
at various times by Keiser, between $50 and

Street Presbyterian Church, of New Orleans,
completed journey on horseback from that
city to Pennington, on the 18th inst. He left
on the LIST of June, and Travelled steadily for
ten weeks. He made thirty-five miles each
day except on Sundays, when he rested. The
only day in which he varied from this dis
lance was the last day of his journey, when,
in order to reach his destination before sun

iting some of his relatives residing short
distance from Pennington. He came by the
way of Savannah, aud was in excellent health.
His horse Is a fine animal and seems none the
worse for the jaunt, although the weather was
very warm most of the time. A passion for
riding and desire to improve his health led
him to travel the way he did.

A CYcLoPEDrA FOR $40 0O.-Perhaps the
most remarkable literary enterprise of the
time, is the publication of the library of I'm
icersal Knowtedge, in 90 volumes of nearly
1000 pages each, handsomely bound, for so
cents per volume, or $40 90 for the set. 1t is a
reprint entire of the last 1879 Edinburgh and
London edition of Chambers EpcycSopaedia
A Dictionary Of Universal KnoOledgs for tic
People, with very large additions upon topics
of special interest to American readers. The
amount of matter will somewhat exceed that
of the Cycsopeaias Of Appleton or Johnston,
though the price is but a fraction of their cost.
Volume one is to be ready early in September,
and the others will follow at very short inter
walls. The remarkably low prices are account
ers direct, saving them the large commission,
often so or 60 per cent, paid TO agents or
dealers also, by the recent great reductionin
the cost of making books, and by making very
large sales. This certainly is work that the
millions will appreciate. Special inducements
are offered to early subscribers and to clubs.
The same publishers have recently issued
eulblOuS "a CteWUtUcfo IycSVPc~cW " AH9ceofe
