A MAN KILLED AT SEVERANCE.



We regret to learn through Messrs Van
dersiice and Campbell, who came up to Hi
awstha on Tuesday, that Mr. Thomas c.
Mctiee, OF ) veranCe, was killed at that
place, on Monday night. Going from the
business part Of town, he had 20 cross
railroad bridge, and on that evening he WAS
found upon this bridge dead, having sppar-
emily fallen with such force a. TO kill him
self by tie fall But as he had been City
Marshal aud had handled some of the
rough characters there pretty roughly there
were suspicious of foul play. We knew
Mr. Nctiee years ago, and he was true
and honest man. Whsn the small pox was
50 bad at Severance, though he had never
had the disease, he went among toe pa
tients, waited upon them, and did msny
things for their comfort no ore else could
be persuaded to do. He was a brother to
the druggist at Hamlin, in this county.

A GAME THAT DIDN'T PAN OUT WE'LL.
tChsutauqua County Times, ell
About ore year ago young man by the
name of j. w Harley came from Washing
ton, d. C., purchased and stocked farm
near Peru, investing about 81 200. During
last fall this young man became aSdu tinted
with Josiah Robert, his wife and wife,
sister, Miss Laura Custer. Abou, the mid
die Of lat January Mi-s Custer threatened
Harley with a prosecution for bastardy.
Roberts and others told him Of the f4c,,
and Roberts advised Harley to pat his
property on; of his hands until the thing
had blown over. Acting upon this advice,
Harley made over all his property to
Roberts, who preceded to dispose Of
it for his own benefit. Harley
was sfterward tried for bastsrdy
and acquitted SIits were instituted
sgainst Roberts and others TO recover the
property, and nearly all Of it has been re-
covered.
The facts set up against Roberts are that
it was a conspiracy on his and Miss Gus
Ier's part to obtain Harley's property, and
The courts thus far seem to have taken this
view of the case to be true
Harley is seventeen years Of age, Roberts
twenty, and Miss Custer fifteen. They are
young people to kick up such large mus.
and it is to be hoped it has taught them a
esson never to be forgotten.
Later-Robers was found guilty and
to three years confinement in
he State prison.

"Mademoiselle, nv Mamma


I do not intend to throw stone at
Mile. Bernhardt. She and George
Elliot, and other eminent persons who
defy the customs of society, are com>
patent to judge of right and wrong,
and are free to act. I do not judge
them. But what / wish to point out is
the social phenomeon presented when
the leaders of society, which crushes
thousands of poor girls into the mlre
for illegitimate sexual relations, should
at the same time lavish admiration upon
women of the same character who hap
pen to have talent. Sarah Bernhardt
has never been married; she has four
children; she brought to London with
her, and took in every fine house where
she was entertained, bright boy, who
called her "Mademoiselle, my mamma. "
There was no concealment whatever.
Fashionable London was at her feet.
1t was amply demonstrated that fash
ionable English society does not really
respect the customs which it processes
to hold essential. The sanctity OF
marriage becomes more and more a
thing for the poor and ignorant-like
orthodoxy. It is we'll. enough for the
common people to fear hell. etc. This
kind of talk has long been familiar in
the matter of religious dogmas. but it
is now seen to be the underlying sentia
ment about the marriage dogma, also.

A Sailors Death Grip.

A sea Captain related, at prayer
meeting in Boston, thrilling incident
in his own experience:
ga few years ago. SAID he, II was
sailing by the Island of Cuba, when
the cly ran through the ship, man
overboard!' 1t was impossible to put
up the helm of the ship, but I instant
ly seized a rope and threw 1t over the
ships stern, crying out to-the man to
seize it for his life. The sailor caught
the rope just as the ship was passing.
I Immediately took another rope, and
making a slip moose of it, attached it to
the other, and slid it down to the strug-
Cling sailor, and directed him to pass
it over his shoulders and under his
arms. ard he would be drawn on board.
He was rescued; but he had grasped
that rope with such irmness, with such
death drip, that it took two hours
before his hold relaxed and his hand
could be separated from it. With such
eagerness indeed. had he clutched the
object that was to save him, that the
strands of the rope became imbedded
in the flesh of his hands" This illus
trates the fact that God has let down
from heaven rope to every sinner on
earth. Every strand is a precious
promise, and we ought to be SO intense
ly eager to secure these promises, as to
lay hold on them as for our lives and
grasp them with tenacious grip.

An Infamous Fraud.

We seem to live in day of fraud
and humbug. Almost every day that
passes reveals to us some fresh instance
of rascality and deception. The letter
we publish elsewhere from Arbnck!e
Bros, New York, shows up one Of the
latest frau'ls perpetrated upon an un-
suspected public. 1t shows a now de-
vice of improving the appearance of
the lowest grades of Green Coffee by
painting them with "Chromo Green"
1t is not only at variance with every
principle of equity ana honesty, but it
is also deception which can not be
carried on except at the risk of health,
and possible of the lives of those who
use the coffee that has been painted. {.
This nefarious work has assumed such
large proportions. that it becomes the
duty of the press, in tho case of hu.
manity to aid in disclosing and putting
an end to this great aud growing wrong.
Those who are willing to trife with the
public health for the sake of gain
should he held to the public obIoquy,
and if possible, punished for their Of
fence. We are obliged to Arbukle
Bros, for calling our attention to this
matter, as it is one of great Importance
to the public. The analysis of SAM
pie of this coffee that has been painted
disclosed the fact that there wers pres
ent chromate of lead and Prusslan blne
forming when mixed "Chromo Green.

Social Intercourse.

Without friends what is man? A SOL
itary oak upon sterile rock, symmet-
rical indeed in its form, beautiful and
exquisitely finished, outrivaling the
most laded perfection of art in grace
fulness and grandeur, but over which
decay has shaken her black wing, and
left its leaves blighted; its limbs con -
tract as they die; its roots rottenness
and its bloom death; a scathed lifeless
monument of its prestine, beauty. When
the rebuffs of adversely are rushing us
earthward, when the clouds look black
above, and the muttering thunder of
misfortune growls along the sky-when
our frame is palsied by the skeleton
hand of disease, our senses whirled in
the malstrom chaos of insanity-when
our heart are torn by the recent sepa-
ration of some beloved object. while
our tears are yet flowing upon the
fresh turf of departed innocence-in
that time it is the office of friendship
to shield us from portentous storm,
to quicken the fainting pulses of
our sickly frame, to bring back the
wandering star of mind within the at
traction of sympathetic kindness, the
"oil and balm" of peace into the yet
fostering wound, and deliver the aching
heart from the object of its bleeding
affection.

Chesterfield to His Son.

'.In the case Of scandal, as in that OF
robbery, the receiver is always thought
as bad as the thief. A man
of the world must, like the chameleon.
be able to take every different hue,
which is by no means criminal or
abject, but necessary compiaisance,
for it relates only to manners, and not
to morals. Cautiously avoid
talking of either your own or other peo'
ple's domestic affairs. Yours are moth
ing to them but tedious;theirs are moths
ing to you. The subject is tender
one, and it is odds but you touch some
body or others sore place; for in this
case there is no trusting to specious ap-
.pearances, which may be, and often are,
SO contrary to the real situation of
things that, with the best intentions in
the. World, one often blnnders, disagree.
ably. The scholar, without
good breeding, is pendant; the philo-
sopher, cynic; the soldier, brute.
and every man disagreeable.
There are two sorts of good company;
Que which is called the beau monde,
consists of those people who have the
lead in courts, and in the gay part of
life; the other consists of those who are
distinguished by some peculiar merit,
or who excel in some particular and
valuable art or science. For my own
part. I used to think myself in company
as much above me-, when l was with
Mr.. Addison and Mr.. Pope, as If had
been with all the princes in Europe,
