Bond SWindle.

WASHINGTON, April l7.-Some time
ago, man obtained the numbers Of
some United States bonds held by an
them, cOncOcted story to the effect
that the original owner was dead, that
previous to his death he gave the bonds
Ia brother, who embarked for Europe
on vessel which went down with all
on board. This story the man related
To the Treasury officers, where he ap-
peared with letters Of administration,
and the bonds were duplicated, reissued
and al once redeemed. Now the
original bonds have been presented
Tor redemption and an investigation
showed that the presumed administra-
tor had been an imposter, the signatures
on his papers iOrgeries and that the
bonds had never been on ship board,
having been held by old gentlemen
who did not need the money; hence
he had refrained from prosecuting them
for redemption. The bonds will have to
be- redeemed again, and the Treasury
Department is in doubt il special ap-
preparation will be needed.

culture show the increase of the area

cent. more than in the Fall previous.
In the rrea sOwn in rye there is de-
cline of q per cent. as compared with the

wheat; in these States they
heretofore have exclusively sown in the
spring. The experiment was uniOrtu.

spring OF 1879. The condition of the
live stock, as represented, is very favor
able and better than for several years.
No disease is reported other than
cholera among swine, and that is no
worse, II as bad, as last year.

What 70 DO In Case Of Fire.

The loose garments worn by women
and children expose them to special
danger from fire. If the fire starts
from the bottom of the dress, the ma
tural upward tendency of the fame
soon envclops the whole person, un-
less by self-control and presence of
mind the necessary care be taken by
the sufferer, or some one near, without
n moments hesitation. To obey the
first impulse and open the doors and
rush out il sure destruction. The only
safety is to fall down instantly on the
floor. and roll over on TO the fire.
snatching n woolen shawl or rug. If
near. to wrap round the body. One IL
comparatively safe by rolling over and
over, for the flames will not rise to the
face, and the lungs and breathing will
be less likely to be injured. Those
who may be in the room, or may come
In, have their work plainly before
them. Keep doors and windows closed !;
snatch the first woolen thing to be
Iound-a table cover-without think
ing of the work Of art on it. Pull IL
off Who cares where the bric-a- brac
rolls TOP Il is q human life in danger.
Or snatch woolen shawl from chair,
Q curtain or a rug; anything-that one
human form is smorevaluable. Wrap the
sufferer instantly into something that
is woolen--the coat from your back, If
nothing else ofers-and thus closely
wrapped roll her on the floor in the folds.
Scores Of lives have been saved In this
way, or lost for want of such immediate
action. IN case the house Is on fire
there should be one captain" If posi-
bie, who can lead the less self.possessed
out Of the burning building. Every door.
window or aperture through which air
can find. entrance should be closely shut
except during egress. There are always
eight or ten incl.eB Of pure ar close to
