Last Friday evening about 8 O'Clock
a man with an overcoat under his
arm and small bundle done up in a
handkerchief in his hand fell prone
upon the sidewalk in front of Burg's
cigar store. A crowd soon congregat-
ed by whom it was first thought that
the man was dead, but when light
was brought it was ascertained that
he merely had a fit, and restoratives
were at once applied which had the
desired effect to soon bring him to-.
AS soon as he was able to speak he
gave his name as Joseph Ludwig O.
berst, and stated that he had that day
come from New Auburn, 40 miles, on
foot, and was on his way to st. Joe,
Mo-, where his people lived. He was
taken to the Washington House where
he passed the night. This mans lot
is truly sad. On lone tramp through
an unknown country, without money
and, as he informed US, subject to the
fits at any time at least once in forty.

been more wo:thily bestowed, and we
understand that a contribution was
taken up in the Catholic church last
Sunday amounting to $I2, and enough
more will be raised in the city to tick.

A tramp entered the house of Hen
ny GUNNER, near Swan Lake in the
town OF CORTLAND, last week Tuesday,
while the family was at work in the
harvest field short distance from the
house. He entered the kitchen where
he rummaged around until he found
two keys for doors leading to other
parts of the house, which he both
broke in gaining an entrance. He was
detected by 4 nine-year-old boy of
Gummer's, whom the tramp threaten
ed to shoot if he gave any alarm, but
while the tramp was engaged in help.
ing himself to such things as took his
fancy, the boy slid away and informed
his father; the tramp, however, made
good his escape to the woods near by
before Mr.. GUNNER reached the house.
Farmers shonld be ON the lookout fol

An exchange says: ssThe demand for
self-binders this season has been enor-
nous. In few years farm machinery
will be so perfected that the farmer
can sit in the shade, smoke pure Ha-
vana, and let the machinery run the
business. Perfection will never be
reached, however, until implements
are so made that standing without
shelter all winter will not injure
them.''
This can't be done, of course, as
wood ard iron are adversely affected
by the elements; but if some one will
invent noiseless, self-adjusting, easy
to'back, machinery shed, with valve
attachment, that could be sold on time
for $500, trip to Europe, or a female
seminary-anything that money can
buy-would be at his command the first
season after it's introduction. -Roches.

"A LOST CHANCE. A drunken man
was swaying unsteadily in a Virginia
City street, according to the Chronicle,
when dog with pail tied to it's tail,
ran between his legs. The collision
was so forcible that the man was upset,
and The dog ran on minus a piece of
it's tail. The man got up bewildered,
rubbed the bruised end of his spinal
column, picked up the dogs tail, and
thus soliloquised: This is (hic) un.
fortunate! Never before knowed or
suspected had such thing as a tail
till I go an fall down an break it off.
Might made (hic) fortune 'zibiting
myself as a man with tail. There'd
been millions in it-millions (hic) in
it! Jis my luck. Whenever I get a
good thing it's always gone before
(hic) find it out!''-Ex.

Monday morning opened out with
grand rain and that is just what was
wanted, as the women were all getting
cross for the want of soft water.

The remarkable low prices are ac-
counted for by the method Of sale, to

the large commission, often SO or 80

so, by the recent great reduction in
the cost of making books, and by max
ing very large sales. This certainly
is a work that the millions will appri.
ciate. Special inducements are offered

We learn that a young man from
this city went out into the country to
assist friend in harvest work. But
before beginning the tolls of an honest
granger, he thought he would take a
little ''schnapps," just to brace him
up and tougher his hands, you know,
and so he took up the first Jug he came
to and took good pull. He learned,
but too late, that the jug contained
machine oil. Now if this young man
is very smooth and oily with the young
ladies, let them lay it to that jug. Nor.
