Lafayette's Lucky Horseshoe.

S. +. Bunell. blacksmith of Buffalo.
has lucky horseshoe which has been
in the Bunell family for nearly CEN
tury. There is in connection with the
shoe most interesting history which
the reporter was make acquainted with
1t seems that in III, General Lafay-
cite, with the immortal Washington,
was making a tour through. the north
ern portion of New York State, and one
evening, near nightfall, they refined up
at a neat and comfortable looking inn,
which was kept by Mr.. James Haskins.
Here the distinguished guests tarried
for a week. Just before resuming their
journey, Lafayette's horse cast shoe,
and the famous General, picking it up
handed it to ttmine host, y and smiling.
said: Here, take this and keep it. for
it is an inheritance of luck The re-
cipient heartily thanked the donor, and
carrying the gift into the house, kept it
-treasuring it highly long after Mr..
Haskins handed it over to his son-in-
law, ira Brooks. whose wife died in
1876, at the advanced age of 100 years.
The mother of Mr. Bunell, of this CITY.
afterward came into possession of the
relic. This intelligent lady resides with
another of her sons, Mr.. William Bu-
nell, near Pembroke, Genesee County.
Though nearly an octogenarian, Mrs.
Bunell has retained her mental facul-
ties, wonderfully, and reeites some facts
in connection with this horseshoe
which are certainly most interesting.
Mr.. William Bunell then fell heir to the
shoe, and a short time ago gave it TO
the present owner, who takes especial
delight in showing the curiosity

Swindling Farmers.

The reports of farmers being swim
died by travelling sharpers are less nu-
merous than they were few years ago.
Farmers are not rs anxioussas they were
of becoming agents for the sale of use
less implements, or to purchase patent
rights. They are more careful about
signing orders for lightning-rods and
advancing money for goods to be de-
livered in the future. In brief, they are
becoming more intelligent in all business
matters. Cases of swindling are occa-
sionally reported, but when they are it
Is evident that the sharpers have been
obliged to resort to some new dodge in
order to insure success. A new swindle,
according to local reports, has been per-
petrated in several places in Iowa, dur
ing the past month. 1t requires two
persons tomanage it successfully. They
watch the papers for notices of estrays.
One goes to look at a horse or COW, and
soon decides that it is not the one he
has lost. During his visit be carefully
notices the size, color, and peculiar
marks on the animal, aud forms pref
ty accurate opinion in regard to its
weight and age. He reports all these
matters to his partner" who, in few
DAYS, pays q visit to the farm where the
animal was taken mp. He is able to
give so full and accurate q description
of the '.lost'' aRimal that the person in
whose possession it is has no reluctance
in offering to give it up. The pretend
ed owner, however, finds it inconvenient
to take it home, and offers to sell it at
low price. The farmer accepts the
proposition to sell, and pays over the
money. In the course of few DAYS the
rightful owner comes along and claims
the animal, and produces evidence that
it is his. The residence Of the seller
cannot be ascertained, and, of course,
the buyer is out the money he has paid.

TIE CROPS.

MILWAUKEE, Sept 29.-Dispatches re-
ceived during the past few days from
points in the Northwest state that frosts of
last week have not done any important
damage SO far as ascertained. Recent OBJ
servations in Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and
Missouri, show that the corn in these
states was practically out of reach of harm
before the fnests came There is no ma
iterial increase insthe receipts of wheat here
yet. The country movement in grain in
the Northwest has been somewhat more
easy, but the corner on September wheat
jim Chicago has drawn all the available
wheat to that market. An Improvement
in supplies early next month is looked for,
although the farmers are evidently very
backward in parting with their wheat at
current prices. The Middle states report
less disposition to sell ON the part of farm
ers, but the whole movement SO far on this
crop has been quite large, and proves the
abundance of the crop. The movement
of barley is fair, but very little of tits
bright enough for No. g. There are quite
light supplies of corn coming in, and fair
of rye and oats. Stocks of coarse grains
in store are quite small.

An Appalling Thought,

During the second year of the war a
grocer in an Ohio town scaled his prices
by reports from the front. One day a
defeat would cut the price of butter four
cents; the next day victory would
raise the price of eggs penny dozen,
and the victory or defeat was certain to
hit even the jar of nutmegs ON the top
shelf One day q farmer who had some
butter to sell entered the store, and
asked the going price.
Il am paying sixteen to-day" was
the answer.
But only two days ago yon paid
twenty"
Yes; but you see Pope has been der
feated since that, and there is back
action The farmer sold out, and
wanted the most OF it in sugar, and the
grocer remarked, as he made ready to
weigh it. Sugar has advanced cent

REPUBLICAN DEsERTERs

UTICA, N. Y. Sept. 80. The Herald, one
of the oldest and most widely read republi-
can newspapers in this state thus refers to
a step recently taken by two well-known
old republican leaders:
Ex-senator George B. Woodin, of
Cayuga, and ex-senator George FL. Forster,
of Westchester, are two prominent and in
f1uential republicans who make public an
nouncement of their intention of working
and voting for the election of Grover
Cleveland for governor. The significant
instances of the effect produced upon the
republican party by the triumph of the
machine at Saratoga, and the manner of it,
are ominous of the feeling which prevades
the rank and file of the party throughout
the length and breadth Of the state.

VIRdINIA'D DEBT.
New York World .

The idea of paying off the debt of Viz
ginia by an appropriation from the federal
treasury, which Mr. Blaine has patented,
has, we can readily understand, peculiar
destinations for him, involving as 1t does
the irregular employment of the proceeds
of overtaxation. From political point of
view, too, the idea is rather taking, since
it proposes to accomplish the ends aimed at
by the readjusters without mourning the
prejudice that exists in some circles against
Reputation. Only we do not exactly see
how, having once familiarized the public
with the fascinating idea OF going to the
treasury with snch extravagant petitions
for material blessings as are put up by fer
