Quite number of our citizens were
swindled out of few dollars last week
by two Italian greasers, selling cigars,
which they claimed were pure Havanas,
grown on the island OF Cuba, and being
anxious to return TO Florida, where they
had just hailed from, would sell them
these luxuriant cigars at the nominal low
price OF $40 per thousand. They would
open box, push from out the center of a
bunch very good cigar for the citizen'to
try and as it was q fine cigar for the
money, would order quite Il number of
hundred. After the Greasers had left

But alas it would not light, add on close

A singular case is reported from Lo.

A singular case is reported from Lo-
Gust Gap, Pa. Thomas Moore used to be
employed at Loc Spring Colliery as night
watchman, and on different occasions
while making his rounds an apparltion
confronted him He disliked to make
revelation of the strange occurrence
either to the c0lliery officials or his fam
ily. He became 50 unnerved that he was
forced to give up his position and make
known what he had seen. The visitors
were seen periodically for a year and
were in human shape, silently hittering
about, and were always preceded by a
sitting smell Of sulphur. After leaving
the colliery the visitations appeared. at
his house and were witnessed by his wife,
who the other night saw the apparition
in her bed room, and in her fright to
arouse her husband, revolver which
they had under the pillow went off, the
bali entering her left breast. After suf-
fering great pain Mrs. Moore died the
next day. She leaves seven children.
The affair causes great excitement i91s

CURIOUS HABITS.

Great men often fall into curious hab-
its, which they find it impossible to con
quer. Augustus Hare, one Of the ripest
scholars in the English pulpit, and re-
fined gentleman, when he had ended a
train Of hard thinking, would spin around
on his heel few seconds and then re.
sumo work again. Neander, the famous
church historian, could not lecture to his
students unless he had a goose-quill To
pull to pieces as he talked, and 1t was
necessary to supply a second gOose-quill
when the first was completely stripped.
William Wilberlorce became so absorbed
in conversation in evening companies, as
to forget himself He would lift himself
from his chair in his earnestness, move
forward little, and gradually approach
perilously near to the edge. 1t was a
tradition in fashionable English circles
that he bad fallen several times to the
floor. But in families where he was
loved it was the custom to station one of
the oder children behind his chair to
move it forward as he moved, and guard
him against peril. Some who afterward
became leaders in English society retain
ed among the pleasant memories OF child
hood recollections of the services rem
dered to the brilliant and eloquent con-
Yerser.

house, all our presidents, from Washing
ton to Arthur, artisticalr portrayed in
Batural attitudes, in full-length figures,
eacn one clad in the style peculiar TO
himself in his day. The portraits are
telling and life-like, and will recall the
memories Of all, A singular effect is pro-
duced by thirteen cleanly shaven faces,
the custom Of their times. while but four
Of the twenty-one wear the now popular
moustache. The high merit of he pic
ture is established in the beauty of It's
conception, which has here caused to be
assembled, In 6gure, for the first time,
our twenty-one presidents, giving audi
ehce to the great nation over which they
have been honored to preside. On the
walls of the saloon hang, weIl-executed

On the afternoon of October 10th,

and a fine conception. and | am pleased
to have it, and shall place it in nv IL
brary." On being asked whether copy

dent replied: "Yes, shall he pleased to
accept one for that purpose, and on my
return to Washington [ shall not forget
to write my acknowledgements also my
approval of the picture to f. Myers &
Co."

TAME SHEEP.-Oue ot the prime Sc
crets Of success in sheep breeding is to
have quiet, tame animals. This is true
in all branchts Of breeding, and no truer
Of any than in sheep breeding. A wild
flock Of sheep will not be as profitable as
a tame flock of the same natural quality
In order to have the sheep tame they
should always be treated in the kindest
manner, and considerably petted when
that is practical. IF a hockmaster begins
early with the lambs, handling them of
ten, and be particularly careful II, yer to
scare them, he viii stand a pretty good
chance Of having tame flock; but it is
scarcely necessary to say that he must see
to it that they are not harn, ,ssed by any,
body or anything. IF there is dog On
the premises, keep him from interfering
with the sheep. If you have to kill him.
The flock is worth much more than the
dog. Hired help must be taught to go
among the sheep gently. Give them
good care, kind treatment, and protect
them from annoyances of the character
we have named, and the result will be
tame and quiet f,ch, if it has any natu-
raj merit in it.
