 ''Kinley Hollow" by G. H. Hollister, has been added to the Leisure Hour series of Henry Holt & Co. It is book which will be read with great interest, especially in this State. critic we'll says of it: Though in the development of its plot there are the sensational features of love and tragic death turning upon the rivalries of two young men who are fellow pupils in the olden time in the family of Puritan Connecticut minister, it's chief interest lies in the study of charac- ter at a peculiar period of our intellectual and social history. Its actors are not non1i- nal Americans transplanted to European soil' but we breathe the keen air of our own hills. No other land could have produced the racy phase of character and sentiment found in this romance. It works the same vein in the early days of New England story that Mrs. Stowe and Mrs. Rose Terry Cooke have wrought. It is not, however, so wholly taken up with the humor of broadly gro tesque situations and of Biblical patch work dialect as with the deeper current of thought that runs under these times.''

DR. JOHN F. HANCOCK, late President of the National Phar- nnaceutical Association of the United States, says:
 Browns Iron Bitters has a heavy sale, is conceded to be fine tonic; the character of the manu- lecturers is a voucher for it's purity and medicinal excellence.
 DR. JOSEPH ROBERTS, President Baltimore Pharmaceutical College, says:
 'FI indorse it as a fine medicine, reliable as, a strengthening. tonic, free from alcoholic poisons." DR. J. PARIS MOORE, PHI. D., Professor of Pharmacy, BaIti- more Pharmaceutical College, says: Browns Iron Bitters is a safe and reliable. medicine, positively free from alcoholic poisons, and can be recommended as tonic for use among those who oppose alcohol.'

 Dr. RICHARD SAPINGTON, one of Baltimore's oldest and most reliable physicians, says:
 "All who have used it praise it's standard virtues, and the we'll known character of the house which makes it is a sufficient guarantee of it's being all that is claimed, for they are men who could not be in- duced to offer anything else but reliable medicine for public use.''

From New Haven to Chicago fn 1855.

From New Haven to Chicago tn 1853.
 We present below a copy of letter writ
 ten forty seven years ago from Chicago,
 which was at that time but small place, of
 perhaps some 2,OOO inhabitants. It de-
 scribes journey from New Haven to Chica-
 go, Illinois being then new State just be-
 ginning to be settled. It will interest from
 the contrast between now and then. The
 letter, yellow from age, is in the old style,
 before envelopes and steel pens were known
 It was written with quill pen and folded
 directed on the same sheet and scaled with a
 wafer. The post stamp has entirely faded
 out. The Chicago postmaster had written
 on the outside the figures ''25." This was
 the amount of the postage, 25 cents Con a single sheet) and not being also written 'pre- paid" the postage was collected on delivery at the end after the manner of that day. Some few persons who read this may recol- lect the writer and but few, although he was town born' and to ''the manor bred" He was Francis Howe, brother of Henry Howe, of this city, was educated at West Point and about the year 1883 was for brief space in business in Streets building with | the late Judge CroswelI. He died in 1850 of 1 Asiatic cholera, being then secretary of the Chicago and Galena railroad company. His I age when writing this letter was twenty-four l years.

The canvass for filling the Democratic 'barrel' has been quite active lately in the Fifth and Sixth wards. Whatever the Democratic papers and the Democratic platform may say, this money is being raised in the free rum and no Sun day interest, and it is to be used for the Democratic candidates in this campaign How do the 'respectable'' Democrats like this kind of work?

BROWNSVILLE, Tex, May lS.-The
prticulars Of a double murder at
San Pedro de los Petitos, Mexico,
to-day have just been received here.
1t appears that two brothers, named
Romero, left their home in that place
to attend fair which was to have
been opened this morning. Hearing
that the opening had been postpon-
ed, they started away, making noisy
demonstrations of disappointment.
A few moments later they met Rev.
Father Lunar, Catholic priest and
Brother Pedro, who smiled at their
actions. AS they passed, the Rom
eros became enraged, and steathily
approaching the priest and brother
from behind, stabbed them repeat
edly in the back and left them dead
on the road. The murderers escaped.

inson to appear before the governors
of the Exchange to answer grave
charges, which will be formally pre-
ferred at the special meeting of gov

When arrangements were made for
the famous ST. Joe corner, last year,
John r. Duff, of Boston, gave his
business to Kennedy u Hutchinson,
and supposed he had made a great
deal Of money, but few weeks ago
it was publicly alleged that his
brokers had not dealt fairly with
him, and Hutchinson subsequently,
refunded $75O,OOO to Duff. These
charges are of a very grave charac-
ter, and it is said that the findings OF
the committee are not favorable to
Hutchinson.

THE HALEY SHELTER,
1t Will Not Be Blown In Before the
10th Of June, but May Run Continu.
Ously Hencef0rth.

Mr.. Falk, one of the proprietors Of
the HALEY smelter. who has been in
town for four days noting the prog
ress OF affairs, says that he does not
believe the furnace can be blown in
before the 10th Of June. The roads
up the gulches are in such condition
that no ore is likely to be brought
down to the smelter before the lst Of
next month. A few days will be re-
quired to sample this ore and make
other unavoidable preparations-so
that it is not likely that the works
will be in full operation before the
date stated.
Mr.. Falk has caused work to be
resumed on the Washington, of Deer
creek, and the Star, of Star gulch,
two Of the mines in which he is inter.
ested The Star was worked on con
tract all winter, but about month
ago the contract was completed and
the mine shut down. Men are now
at work stopping out ore, and as soon
as new bridge can be thrown across
Wood river opposite Star gulch, and
the grade to the mine repaired, ore
will be hauled to the smeltcr.
The Washington mine is in good
condition, and ready for STOPPING.
Whenever the smelter needs that
class Of ore it will be forthcoming.
Although, owing to the backward
ness of the Sc son, the smelter is not
yet started, its campaign will be
quite as lasting as that of last year,
and if ore can be got and the railroad
gets near enough to admit of the un-
interrupted shipping of bullion East,
it will run uninterruptedly, or with
brief stoppages from this time hence
/ forth
