Erect a Home KBar.

A western journal has the following very practical remarks for those who cannot get along without frequent whis- kies: Liquor dealers pay on an average g. per gallon for whisky. One gallon contains an average of sixty-five drinks, and at ten cents drink, the poor man pays .50 per gallon for his whisky. In other words, he pays g. for the whisky and S4. 50 to the man for handling it over the bar. Make your wife your barkeep- CT. Lend her S2 to buy gallon of whisky for beginning, and every time you want drink, go to her and pay ten cents for it. By the time you have drank a gallon she will have S6.50, or enough money to refund the g borrowed of you, to pay for another gallon of whisky and balance of g.. 50. She will be able to conduct future operations on her own capital, ,and when you become an inebri- ate, unable to support yourself, summed and despised by all respectable persons, your wife will have enough money to keep you until you are ready to fill a drunkard's grave.
 This is one of the very best temperance sermons we ever read-one calculated to carry more weight than dozen long winded ones put on the :" high moral plane. Vallev Gledaer.

 Orange Judd, editor of the American Agriculturist for some 30 years, but un- connected with its business management for year or two past, has lately retired from its editorial department and locat- ed in the West He desires to gather a complete s'postal- card album" of his old readers and friends and requests them all to send him now postal giving their present location and address, naming also, when convenient, the years in which they were his subscribers.

 Mir Judd has severed his relations with the American Agriculturist, but is looking forward to many years of edito- rial work. If he intended to start a new agricultural paper and wished to obtain, without cost to himself, list of possible future subscribers, then the above advertisement would be a clever devise for that purpose.

A GREAT SENSATION IN BRIDGEPoRr-PRo
 INENT MEN CONCERNED.

Mayor D. N. Morgan and some twenty others on Monday attached the property of John Hurd of Bridgeport for S3OO,- 900 and an accounting. The complaint alleges tbat the Housatonic rolling stock company was organized in 1881 by John Hurd and Frederick H. Miles of Bridge port and the Hon William H. Barnum of Lime Rock, with capital stock of $500, ,000, divided as follows = John Hurd, 39S shares :; Frederick Fl. Miles, 20 shares, and W. H. Barnum 1000 shares. It was provided that said par ties might at their desire increase the number of cars and issue stock for the same for their individual benefit ; also that large quantities of such certificates were issued and that the increase has been to Sl, 100000 The plaintiffs com plain that Hurd and Miles have ire quently refused to disclose what has been done with the funds. The com pany like eight or nine others ofsimilar nature, was organized under the laws of the state of Michigan, the certificates being dated at Detroit, Mich. Mir Miles is secretary of other organizations in Michigan. Mir Hurd also is president and treasurer of these companies. Mir Hurd was for years prominent direct or in the Pequonneck National bank and at the election in January was dropped, it is said, owing largely to his transac- tions in these stock companies. The stock in the Housatonic rolling stock company and other similar organizations has been sold in large quantities through Hurd, Miles and others, and it Is esti- mated that Hurd has made $1,500,0 900 from his operations. He is largely in terested in the firm of Hurd, Hotchkiss & Mcfarland, who about year ago bought large tract of woodland in the Adirondacks. The Housatonic rolling stock company own and operate 2,500 freight cars, and the stockholders are principally throughout New England. It is estimated that Mayor N. c. Morgan, who is also broker, and who is presi- dent of the city National bank, through whom the attachment is made, holds S75, ,000 of the stock, and has been large ly instrumental in disposing of the same at good profit. Hurd is an active deal

PAID ALL LOSSES IN FULL

The last year was an exceptionally disas- trous year to tobacco crops, and the losses were many and great, but they have all been promptly paid.
 This only shows the importance of insuring against these losses Many thought last year they would not insure, and would thus save the small premium, bat one day the hail came and beat upon the crop and they lost ten times the amount ofthe premium.
 At the last annual meeting it was voted to substitute for the premium notes cash pre- mium of five per cent, the officers and mem bers of the company being satisfied that that will meet all contingencies, Anyone insuring therefore for the current year, will ouly be required to pay cash premium of five per cent on the amount of the insurance, which will cover all liability, ,-there can be
