WE regret to learn, says the Frank
lin (Pa) Citizen, that some of the
farmers in Jackson township have been
victimized by confidence men. The
swindlers represented themselves as
agents for commercial fertilizer, and,
as usual, had blanks to be signed by
their victims, who were to be made To-
cal agents for the sale of phosphate.
In the course of a few weeks after
signing the blanks the farmers
were surprised to receive notice from
the nearest bank that their notes for a
certain amount, generally exceeding
500, was due, and calling for settle
ment The agents had written note
for the amount in the blank above the
signature of the farmer and had it dis
counted. In the vicinity of Cambridge,
Crawford county, farmers were victim
lied to the extent of $1,000 by the
same parties Beware of the phosphate
man. Be sure you know what you are
doing when you sign your name to any
paper presented by a stranger. 1t is
quite likely the same chaps will visit
this county, but as our people gener-
ally patronize their county papers they
are not so likely to be taken in and
done for. We have several resident
merchants who deal in phosphates and
from them purchases should be made.

THE late annual meeting of the Pres

A "NEw" cereal, said to be more nu-

Russia. Thus far it has been unaf-
fected by drought, worms, grasshop-

tivated with less care than almost any
other grain.

IT is a curious fact that color blind
ness is much more common among
men than among women, and the same
difference is noted between boys and
girls. In recent experiments on this
subject made in the public schools of
Boston l4,469 boys were examined, of
whom sos were color-blind; but out
of Il, 45S girls, only 9 were found to
be thus affected The question is,
what causes this difference

Treating the Wrong Disease.

Many times women call upon their
family physicians, one with dyspepsia
another with palpitatiOn, another with
trouble of the breast another with
pain here and there, and in this way
they all present alike to themselves
and their casy-going and Indifferent
doctors, seperate and distinct diseases,
for which he prescribes his pills and
potions, assuming them to be such,
when, in reality, they are all symp-
toms caused by some uterine disorder !;
and while they are thus only able per-
haps to palliate for time, they are
ignorant of the cause, and encourage
their practice until large bills are made
when the suffering patients are no bet
ter in the end, but probably worse for
the delay, treatment, and other COM
plications made, and which a proper
medicine directed to the cause would
have entirely removed, thereby insti-
tuting health and comfort instead of
prolonged misery.

AT mill prices, at
RITTER Il RALsToN's.

A STRIKING instance of a lifelong
friendship has been brought TO notice
in New York by the death of two old
gentlemen, Messrs. McCurdy and AL
drich When they were aged respec-
lively fourteen and fifteen they went to
New York City to seek their fortune,
one hailing from Lyme, Conn, and
the other from Orange, \. Y. They
both entered the same mercantile estab-
lishment in humble capacities, and be-
came room-mates, and from that mo-
ment dated the intimacy which was to
continue uninterrupted for over half a
century. Gradually working their
way up together, they at last found
theselves at the head of one of the
heavy dry goods houses of New York,
and after conducting their business for
over quarter of century they both
retired, each worth more than a mil
lion. They built themselves adjoining
and similar houses in good street and
lived there until a short time before
their death when family changes made
it necessary for them to separate. The
most remarkable coincidence, perhaps,
in those so curiously interviewer lives,
was in their end. Mr.. McCurdy died
at halfpast three o'clock, and Mr. AL
drich at four O'Clock on Monday after
noon of last week, or within half an
hour of each other. They furthermore
died of the same disease-heart disease.
Their funerals were conducted together
and they We're buried from the same
church and laid away for their long
rest, side by side, in the same church
yard. 1t would perhaps be hard to
find more perfect naturalization OF

it in the clause restricting the vote to
