A telegram from Fort Worth, Texas, on
the 10th instant, gives the following account
Of the descent OF a meteor
"a dispatch from Williams Ranch says
that at about two o'clock Sunday morning
great meteor fell in the outskirts of the
town, killing several head Of cattle and de-
stroying the dwelling house of Martinez
Garcia, Mexican herdsman, who, with his
family, consisting of wife and five chill
dren, are buried beneath the ruins In its
descent the meteor resembled a massive ball
Of fire, and the shock was similar TO that of
an earthquake. 1t is still hot and steaming.
II is imbedded in the earth probably one
hundred feet and towers above the surface
about seventy feet, and will cover about an
acre Of ground. The conclusion was ter
rife, nearly every window in town being
shattered People were hurled violently
from their beds and goods in the store
houses were thrown from the shelves No
lives were lost as far as known except the
Mexican herdsman and his family, although
several buildings fell TO the ground. The
cattle fed in terror in every direction. The
air was filled with sulphurous gas. This is
the largest meter that has ever fallen, and
Il has been visited by many people. Since
the largest meteor on record does not exceed
twenty-five tons in weight, with maximum
sectional area of forty-two square feet, the
alleged Texan eroite will attract wide at
tention."

pRETENDERS

Under the direction and control Of the
Young Democratic Association Of Balti-
more the party in that city Is rapidly ap-
preaching political millennium, n we are
to place confidence in the reports Of those
journals which were foremost in the sup
port of the Independent" movement last
election. From what we can learn of this
pure and high-toned organization the fun
damental principle upon which it acts is
that ne man who is willing to take Office
should be entrusted with one, and any one
now holding office who is willing to retain
IL should at once be relieved-in word
that the offices hereafter shall be bestowed
upon an imaginary set ofmen who have never
taken any part in politics and never whis-
pered desire for preferment 1t strikes us
that the stock Of this class of men is rather
scarce, but we suppose what 1t lacks in
quantity will be made up in quality. I'm
der the new order of things the most diff
cult feat to accomplish will be 10 ascertain
the men who do not want an Office under
any CiiSuiiiotdhCto anu bICii w obi0bheW"J
nominate them. What glorious oppor-
tunity is thus presented TO those modest and
retiring gentlemen we read about who have
but one thought and that enc solely yearn-
ing desire to uphold the great principles of
the party and get an ofiice-for somebody
else. We are told by these great "reform"
journals that the party is corrupt, is under
the control of men who care nothing but
for their own selfish interests, and that in
that in order to save it il must be placed in
new, unsullied hands. That the men of
experience and Of brains shall take a back
seat and that our affairs shall hereafter be
managed by the truly good young men
who have set up for themselves an indie
pendent organization within the party lines.
Lord save the grand old party from these
Democratic dudes.

10 our Agents and others whom it may
concern:
DEAR SlRs: We are in receipt of informa-
lion that seems 10 be reliable, as II comes 10
us from all parts OF the country and through
different channels, TO the effect that d. N.
Osborne X Co., OF Auburn, New York, are
industriously advertising through their agents
and travellers, that they have Bought us
OUT or bought license" from us, and that
they contemplate manufacturing the Esierly
Binder for 1888, etc.
While the fact Of their thus advertising NAV
be and is highly complimentary to the nn-
precedenied success of the ''Esterly," we
deem Il proper for us 10 say we have mol sold
out to D. NJ. Osborne h Co, that we have not
neither do we intend TO grant license to d.
M. osborne Co., or to any other party
whatsoever, to manufacture the Esterly Bind
err in the United States.
II Is true that d.. NJ. Osborne 4 Co., have
solicited patterns Of our Binder and the right
10 build them, both OF which have been EN-
phatically refused under any and all circum-
stances whatsoever. .WststsFfss
II is also true that in our correspondence,
d. M. Osborne paid the Esterly some well
merited compliments, all of which we fully
appreciate, but the improvements have been
made for our own use aud benefit aud that of
our Agents and customers only.
Aud we hereby give notice that we shall
hold all parties Infringing our rights strictly
responsible whether they either "mannfac-
'ture, sell o. "use" Harvesters and Bind
srs containing any Of our numerous patented
improvements.
Yours truly, GEO. ESTERLY 4 SON.

Club life in Cleveland, Ohio, is upon the
eve Of an important revolution. The Union
Club of that city is about to organize a
ladies department, the members of which
shall be entitled TO all the privileges of the
institution. DR.. Dix complained that our
modern laws and usages tended to destroy
the unity Of married life, to make the hus-
band and wife Independent of each other,
but here is social organization that goes
step further, and deliberately sets up
woman's inalienable right to separate
night key.

THE RENOWNED
"Esterly Irvine Binding Harvester.

Having learned through various sources
that several of the Manufacturers of Self
Binding llarvesters are induslriously circu-
latlng report 10 the effect that they had
bought the right 10 make and use patents of
Geo. Esterly 4 Son Ia the construction of
their machines, which they propose to offer 10
the farmers the coming season, have thought
IL proper TO publish the following Circular
received from Messrs. George Esterly II Son,
which speaks boldly, plainly and strongly to
the point, and am sure need add nothing
TO expose the deception, (I may say fraud, !
which Is intended 10 be practiced on The farm
er, by representing that they are using the
Esterly patented improvements. They ac-
knowledge the superiority of these improve
ments In the Esierly by seeking to palm off
their less valuable machines, by claiming that
they have right TO use the Esterly patents
deny the truth Of the statement and pro-
nonnce it false, no matter by whom, or TO
whom uttered, and in verifcation of the above
statement call attention to the following Cir
cular OF December 3, 1882. Let no farmer
be deceived BY the false statements made TO
him, but if he wants 10 use the Esterly pat
ents in reaping and binding his wheat, buy
The Simon-pure Esterly Light Draft Self-Bind-
ing Harvester, built by Messrs. George Ester
ly Son, of Whitewater, Wisconsin,, which
can be bought of me, as their authorized Cen
eral Agent, as cheaply and on as accommo-
dating terms as any machine made and sold
in the United States. You will then oe able
to get extras and repairs when wanted, close
at hand, and competent, trained and skilled
