A new confidence game, known as
the sewing machine swindle, is being
successfully operated in different
parts of this state. A slick looking
individual who wears fine cloth es
and drives a good team, stops at Il
farmers house and claims to be
representing the Fairbank Sewing
Machine Company. The agent pro-
poses to give the farmer a machine,
providing he will exercise his influ-
.ence i'll disposing of four others to
his neighbors and friends. The
farmer thinks this an easy way to get
a machine and readily accepts the
proposition. The agent leaves the
machine and as guarantee Of good
faith on the part of the farmer to sell
the order four machines on their ar
rival, the agent requires him to sign
an other for five machines. The
order calls for two hundred dollars,
and afterwards turns ont ito be<a note,
which is sold another party. and

The following statement OF William j. Cough
in, OF Somery1lle, Mass, Is so remarkable tnat
We beg to ask for 1t the attention OF our read
ers. He says : "In the fall OF 1876 was taken
with violent bleeding of the lungs, followed
by u severe cough. 1 soon began to lose my

THE TEMPERANCE UNION
Large Meeting In tho Court-H0uso-Addl
by MRS judith e. Foster.

by MRS judith e. Foster.
Mrs. Judith Ella Foster, of Iowa, de-
livered an address in the court house
Yesterday afternoon, under tho auspices of
the Christian Women's Temperance union,
of this city. The court room was well
filed, and in ths audience were several
clergymen, and quite number of men
and women prominently engaged in
temperance work. Rev. Sylvanus Stall
called tho meeting to order and made some
predatory remarks. Rev. Satchell, of the
Duke street M. E. church, offered prayer,
after which Mrs. Foster was introduced
to the audience by Rev. Stall, and de-
livered an able and impressive address.
Her theme was total abstinence from in
toxicants, and her proposed means OF
accomplishing it we're, first by moral
suasion and secondly by prohibition. She
claimed that Congress had tho undoubted
power to prohibit the manufacture or
traffic in liquors in the territories, and
that tho states possessed sovereign powers
over the question within their several
Jurisdictions. She held that the traffic in
alcohol was first, a violation of the law of
God second it was violation Of the coz
stitution of man; and third, that it was
contrary to tho interests of good citizen
ship and therefore it was the duty of the
state to prohibit it, and thus mako it more
difficult for the citizen to do wrong and
more easy to do right.
Mrs. Foster held the attention Of her
audience very closely from first to last.
She is evidently a woman of very superior
attainments, thoroughly conversant with
her subject, reasons logically, and presents
her facts in the choicest language.
During her stay in Lancaster Mrs. Fos-
ter was the guest of James Black, esq.
She left this morning for Cambersburg,
where she will lecture this evening. She
has several other engagements to lecture
in other parts of the state.

avoid malign genius nf the place. a
party of Senecas chased young Catawba
warrior for five miles. lie succeeded in
killing seven Of them before they captured

to be tortured, he escaped By sudden
dash, leaped into the river amid shower
of bullets and swan under water like an
otter, only rising to take breath. On the
opposite side he made insulting gestures
at his enemies and fed away. OF those
who pursued him he slew a party OF five
while they slept, mangled and scalped
them, and then returning in tho night dug
up and scalped the seven whom he had
slain at first. A solemn council Of his foes
decided that he must be q wizard and that

VANDALISM.
Stealing Flowers and Plants from tho Cen

stealing Flowers and Plants from tho Gem
tories.
Already the ghouls have commenced
their depredations on the graves in the
city cemeteries. Not only are cut flowers
stolen and buds and blossoms picked from
tho growing stocks and bushes, but in
some Instances valuable plants are pulled
up by the roots and carried off to decorate
tho yards or gardens of the thieves, some
of whom claim to be respectable" and
would be shocked, no doubt, to SEQ their
names in print as grave robbers. Some
times women thieves rob the graves and
carry the stolen plants away in their um
brellas. Some OF the thieves arc known
and will probably be prosecuted and con.
victed. Yesterday gang of boys and
youn., men were engaged in the Lancaster
cemetery in clubbing the flowers from the
magnolia and other Towering trees. The
superintendent should make it point to
club the clubbers and then hand them
over to the police.
