aggregate the increase is largely in excess of
any previous year and this day, in con-
formity with past custom and in recognition
OF the aforesaid blessings, enjoyed during
the past year, our excellent Governor has
enjoined upon us to observe the day in
thanksgiving and prayer" How far the
good intentions Of our State Executive in

correspondent, who has had some opportun-
ity of making observations in relation TO the
celebration of this time-honored day, he
thinks that thanks and prayer will be the
exception and feasting and joy the rule, it

A COuntryman Swindled.-On Satur-
day last George Ward, living near Mechan-
icsville, went 10 Washington with the in
tention of selling his produce and trading
off Il tender-lootcd mare for horse that
would make the trip between the above To-
calities with ease He fell into the hands of
some men who keep stable on the North
side of G street, near Tenth. According to
his story these men brought out horse and
claimed that it was sound in every particu-
lar. He drove the horse a couple Of squares
and back only to find the animal was 50
broken winded that it could hardly stand,
and that his mare had disappeared. The
horse being useless Ward hired another from
a man in the stables, giving some corn in
payment therefor. On Tuesday he returned
TO the city and was told that his mare had
been sold to party in Virginia for $50. This
story he doubted and not obtaining any
satisfaction he reported the case to police
headquarters and Detective McDeyitt started
out TO recover the horse for the man. Arriv-
ing at the stable the horse was found and
identified by Ward. The stableman assert
ed it was a fair trade and he you'd not give
up the horse. After considerable trouble on
part of Ward and the detective il was found
that he was barred from all legal proceed
ings because he had sold the horse for 81.
Neither the police court nor the magistrates
would take action in the matter, and he is
therefore minus his mare which cost him
$45, bushe Of corn which he paid for the
use ofa horse 10 haul his wagon home, and
has a dollar to show instead Of horse.

Accomplished ladies, Maids.

Ladies' maids in society must be1oac-
complished to judge from an advertise
ment in Roman paper. A young lady
is wanted for that island who must be
from twenty to thirty years of age; dis
engaged, and Of distinguished educa-
ton; very skillful with the needle and
in making up fine things. She must be
of sympathetic turn, of elegant figure
and pos ssess linen and good clothes. good
enough for going out with and attend-
ing her young mistress. She must send
her photograph to a signor in Rome,
who will personally inspect those young
ladies who present themselves TO COM
pete Tor the situation. A young lady OF
these accomplishments. beauty and good
clothes would not long keep a situation
as ladies maid in America. She would
soon be asked by the impressible Ameri-
can youth to resign her position as lady's
maid to become the mistress of his heart
and home.

What Puzzled the MtIlers.

The Minneapolis Tribune relates an
amusing incident that happened in the
Palisade mill Of that city, January |.
The proprietors went - the expense of
purchasing n new water wheel, with
which TO propel the machinery of the
Palisade. They reluctantly shut the
mill down for n couple of weeks for the
purpose OF putting this new wheel in.
feeling satisfied that the increased power
obtained from il would more than re-
pay them for the loss of time. Without
stopping To consider the matter ofriRhts
and lefts, as applied to water wheels.
the work progressed until, on New
Years morning, II was complete, and.
with n great sigh OF relief, they prepared
for business. and turned on the water.
Imagine their CONSERVATION when all
the machinery # the mill began to re
volve--backwardl Everything moved
in just the opposite direction from what
it had ever done before, or was intended
to do. The stores turned ba kward.
the elevators ran downward, instead OF
upward, and-well. the proprietors
thought that New Years might have n
bad effect on them. and turned the mill
or themselves wronp side up. The
partners, after careful examinations, as
sured each other that none of them
were standing on their headsl Then
they strolled out upon the platform and
took a look at the mill building. That
was right side upl But the machinery
persisted in running the wrong way,
from basement to attic, and threatened
TO reverse the natural order of things
