KILLED by Rum.

JOLIET, ILL.,, July ia most lamentable
suicide of once prominent and prosperous
citizen of this place, Mr.. Henry Habbercorn,
occurred here yesterday. Mr.. Habbercorn
had become slave to whisky, and through
his iutemperance had brought his family,
consisting of a wife and four bright little
children, to very reduced circumstances.
Yesterday telling his wife that he had wrong
ed her, and kissing his little ones, Habbercorn
went out, saying that he couldn't help it, but
whisky had such firm grip on him that he
was sure to fill drunkard's grave. and that
he had better die now than to bring still
deeper misery and shame upon his family.
His wife thought that his selfreproach was
only prompted by temporary feeling of de-
sPonaency, customary WITH nun, ana pad no
near the we'll in the back yard in paroxysms
He had taken dose OF strychnine, and died
shortly after in great agony.

A Circular to Farmers Concerning thu
Chambers.

SPRINGFIELD, July 19.-The State Board Of
Agriculture has taken up the subject of the
prevalence of CHAMBERS among horses and is
considering it with the view of presenting
all possible precautionary measures to
farmers and stock-raisers. Illinois ranks
first among the horse-breeding States in the
Union both as to number and quality of the
animals. The action OF the Legislature in
passing the law for the eradication of CHAMBERS
was therefore important, as it is so stringent
as to permit any necessary measures Of
quarantine in order to suppress the disease.
The Board of Agriculture will ina few days
issue report embodying information from
the State Veterinarian to the effect that gland
ers exists in Carroll county, at Thomson;
Du Page county at lombard; Ford county,
at elelvin; Fulton county, at Canton; Liv-
ingston county, at Campus Marion county,
at Vernon; Mason county, at Mason City;
Mclean county, at Heyworth, Gridley and
Normal; Montgomery county, at Irving;
Ogle county, at Woosung and Forreston;
Peoria county, at Elmwood; Perry county, at
Paradise Prairie; Patt county, at Mansfield
and White Heath; Scott county, at Oxgiile;
Warren county, at Ellison and Kirkwood;
Whiteside county, at Sterling, Rock Falls,
Garden Plains, Coleta and Como; Will
county, at Wilmington. Letters from
various other points in the State making
inquiries about CHAMBERS have been received
by the State Veterinarian and by officers of
the Department of Agriculture. 1t is known
that the disease prevails in several other
States, but Illinois is the only one which
has attempted to enact and enforce legisla-
ton for the protection of stock-raising
against the malady.

The Falling OF in the Postal Revenues for
the Last Quarter.

WAsHINGToN, July l9.-The figures OF sales
of postage stamps and stamped envelopes at
the postofiices throughout the country for
thee quarter ending June 80, 1888, indicate a
falling off in the demand. Although the
sales for this quarter were greater than for
the quarter ending March 80, the percentage
of increase was smaller than that for the cor
responding quarter last year. The falling off
in sales is not to be considered as evidence of
prospective continued reduction in postal
revenues after the reduced rates take effect,
but simply indicates that the stock in the
hands OF the public is being reduced in an
ticipation of the issue of the new stamps;
that stamps and stamped envelopes on which
the government has already realized are
being used up, and that no orders are COM
ing in for any large quantities of these ar
ticles Of the present denominations.

the new corporation, and each share to be
