Bonds Stolen From a Savings
Bank In PennsylYaniA,

BUFFALO, N. Y, June ca robbery
of between S90;e00 and r tic, ,0ek IN St5fldt
from the Erie County Savings Bank has
just come to light. The bonds were care
lessly laid on the Treasurer's desk after
number of coupons had been cut from
them and were stolen. A number of
them has been traced to Baltimore. The
facts which have but just come to light
regarding the robbery are substantially
as follows: George Gorham, a prominent
lawyer of this city, has for convenience
sake for some time past, placed in the
vaults of the Erie County Savings Bank,
a number of bonds which he held as at
torney, amounting to $106,000. About
May 1st Gorham called at the Bank, and
after clipping the coupons left them on
the Cashiers desk. He called again
about the 10th of May, and on inquiry
for the bonds it was discovered they had
been stolen. About week after the
robbery Cashier Lee received a letter
from William Fl. Whyte, layer of Bal
timore, which spoke about some bonds
stolen from the bank. He supposed re.
ferences was made to $4,000 worth of
six per cent. bonds which had been sent
by registered mail to the Secretary of the
Treasury. Telegraphic communication
with that Office showed this batch of
bonds had arrived safely at the Treasury
All thought of the Baltimore letter was
dropped by the Officers, ,supposing ii
blackmail object of the sender. AS
soon as the loss was known Graham Wis.
tied Baltimore in company with a de.
tective and saw White and learned the
bonds could be recovered. $4,000 being
demanded as ransom. Nothing further
has yet been done toward their recovery.

The Star Route Ring.
Washington Star.


The designations of Messrs. Conkling
and Platt, and their contest for re-elec-
ton. have so filed the public mind that
the Star Route scandal has been overshad-
owed; but it is not forgotten, especially
in the Postoffice Department. The inves-
tigation goes right along just the same
as if Mr.. Conkllng had not resigned, and
an occasional order from the Postmaster
General shows where another leak of
public money has been discovered and
stepped. The people of this country are
confidently expecting complete expos
ure of the Star Route ring and its frauds,
to be followed by the proper punishment
of the guilty. Other matters may occu-
py the public mind for time but the
Star Route ring is still held in remem-
brance.

ADVICE TO FARMERS.
Extract from the Report Of the State
Agricultural Board Of Michigan,
By Prof A. j. Cook.
PARIS GREEN THE ONLY ExTERMNAToR
OF THE POTATO BUG.

What signifies the fact that potatoes
have been quoted for the past two or
three years at dollar per bushel, unless
it means that the potato beetle is fast
converting a common article of diet into
luxury. Nay, more, it asserts that
known remedies are slow of application.
In this case we have a very cheap and
effective remedy; still observation and
the high price Of potatoes prove that
barely half our farmers use it. There
can be no doubt that should this drti-
Gle induce all oar farmers to fight the po-
tdtO beetle by the most dpprOred method,
it would add at least 100000 to the
wealth of our State the coming year.
NATURAL HISTORY.
The natural history of the potato bee
tie is familiar to most of our farmers; it
comes out of the ground as a beetle just
as the potato vines are peering from the
ground. With the coming of warm days
the female lays her cluster of orange
eggs, sometimes to the numbersof 1000
either on the under side of the leaves of
the potato vine or on grass or vegetables
near by; these soon hatch, when the
young are found to eat quite as vorac-
iously as the mature beetle. In fifteen
days the young become fully developed,
when they pass into the ground to put
pate. After ten days they come forth in
the beetle state; these beetles with their
bright bands of yellow and black, mate,
deposit eggs and soon die, behaving in all
respects as before. These are followed
by the third brood which complete the
ruinous work for the season.
REMEDIES.
Insomuch as Paris Green is so prac-
teal, so efficient and so cheap q
remedy for the pest. shall in
this place do what the farmer had bet
ter do on his farm-ignore all other
means as too expensive and not suffi-
GENTLY thorough-with little care
Paris Green, the genuine article of
course, is entirely safe. The two meth
DDS which have been tried at the Col
lege with the best success as to economy,
are either to mix the green with water,
heaping tablespoonful to ten quarts of
water, and sprinkle with common
sprinkler or old broom; or to mix with
-four, one part of green to six of -four,
sifted on when there is no dew on the
vines. When these methods are used
the whole expense per acre for material
and cost of application will not exceed
$5 forEthe sRasoE; Strictly, pure Paris

A paper on the presence of alcohol in
the earth, in the water, and in the air
was read on March 7, before the French
Academy of Sciences. The author, M.
Muntz, has developed the method de-
pending on the change of alcohol into
iodoform, SO that one-millionth of alco-
hol in water can be detected. Alcohol
is found in all natural waters except very
pure spring water, and in greater quanti-
ty in snow. Rain water and the water of
the Seine contain about one gramme per
cubic metre. Alcohol no doubt also ex-
lists as vapor in the atmosphere. In soils,
especially those which are very rich in
organic matter, there is a considerable
quantity. The wide diffusion of alcohol
in nature is due to the destruction of or
ganic matter by various agents of fer
mentation.

1t is related of Col. Thomas A. Scott
that about ten years ago, when making
one of the swift trips which he was in the
habit of making over the lines under ms
control, his train was stopped by the
wreck of freight train. There were
dozen heavily loaded box cars piled up on
the road, and it would take long tim(
to get succor from the nearest point, anl
probably hours to get the track cleared
by mere force of labor. He surveyed tht
difficulty, made rough calculation Oh
the cost of total destruction gef the
freight, and promptly made up his mlni
to burn the road clear. BY the time The
relief train came. the flames had done
their work and nothing remained but to
patch up few injuries done to the track
so as to enable him to pursue his way.

Last evening about 8 o'clock the wires
leading into the Western Union telegraph

consequent upon the prevalence of a

charged by the switchboard with loud

the heat being SO great as to weld the
corners of several of the brass plug
straps. A number of customers who

the whole shop was being torn up by

A NEW DISCOVERY!
Spiritualism Explained.

The question of questions,
with thelearned and unlearned,
the materialist, scientist, re-
ligionists, and in fact every
body, is "What is Modern
Spiritualism?" Is tia verify or
is it all a llumbug Can it be
explained from physiologi cal
standpoint and does it come
under the head of Physics, or
does it come from supernatural
causes and without laws or or
der. That the phenomena ex-
lists, is beyond dispute, whether
it will ever be explained re-
mains to be seen. That some
spirits can be seen, handled
and made use of toa good ad-
vantage as well as explained is
also fact to which all drug
gists and chemists can testify.
They need not be named, be-
cause their name is legion.
We refer principally to those
medicines through which spirits
figure largely as restorative
agencies. Saur's Drug and
Medicine Depot harbors a large
number of healing spirits which
can be purchased for a very
small sum of money and if used
according to directions will be
the means of relieving pain and
restoring the health of the af-
hicted. This same drug store
has many other things in which
it seeks to make itself useful
and to benefit mankind. The
book department furnishes the
provisions upon which hun
dreds of brains are fed and are
thus kept alive and active. The
large steck of elegant patterns
of wall and window paper is
another medicine by which
many homes is made warm and
comfortable. Then, too, comes
the many different colored
paints which are not only a
great preservative agency, but
add to the beautiful as well,
tons of which is. sold annually
and which gives employment to
thousands Of people. This is a
branch of business In which this
housealso figures largely. Saur's
Drug and Book store seems to
be the depot or store house in
which everything is kept which
can be found in any drug and
book house, at prices which
everybody will acknowledge to
he yerv low.
