TILE EXPIRING YEAR.-The sands of

THE EXPIRING YEAR.-The sands of the
year 1884 have nearly run, and in few
hours its successor will have been ushered
in, and those of US destiHed to plod on 10
lis close will have to play our parts through
lows and sorrows, commissions and issues as
heretofore, expecting to witness scenes and
experience pleasures and anxieties similar
TO those from which we are now emerging.
IN our own neighborhood the year has not
been an eventful one, though throughout
the world earthquakes, tidal waves, lorna
does and other commissions of nature, to-
gether with pestilence, have wrought their
deadly havoc. Though this locality has,
as ever, been blessed by exemption from
such wholesale evils, the angel of death has
claimed about his average, the following
being among those who have passed from
our midst into the unseen world during the
oor nnU clnsinp.

plaintiff being for 500, 600 The note was made
Oct. To- 1883, and payable on demand. 1t
shows that the interest was paid on it until Nov
l, 1884, at the rate of 1888. 80 per month, pay
ment being secured by mortgage.
A visit to the county recorders Office disclosed
the fact that at430 P n. on Friday this mortgage
was filed. 1t bears date July %, 1884. The prop
erty mortgaged to the indianapolis bank to secure
the payment of the note, if suit be brought, is as
follows: All the elevator belongings and ma
chinery of every description belonging to the
elevator company, wherever situated, with all
the interests of the said elevator company in
real estate, leases and contracts are in
Guided in this mortgage, together with all
crops Offices, leaseholds, etc. This comprises the
elevator in this city, on the south side of the
main and sidetracks of the Indianapolis, Spring
field & Decatur Railway Company, in block
No in Holiness West-end addition to the
city of Indianapolis; the elevator on the south
side of the |. d st. Il. railroad tracks, east of
Main street, in Paris, Ill, and also the elevators
owned by the Western Elevator Comp.
towns of Newman. Douglas county; Hammond,
Piatt county. and Weldon, Dewitt county. all
in Illinois. In addition to the mortgage, the
bank holds, as collateral, all of the stock of the
Western Elevator Company.
These are the same elevators formerly run by
B. D. Brown & Co., and by Brown & Boyd At
the time of the reorganization of the First Ma
tional Bank, in August, 1888, these firms owed
the bank large sum, and that was one of the
troubles then encountered, considered and dis
counted The leading stockholders expected
loss from this source and estimated value of
stock accordingly; but it is proper to say that a
large amount of this Indebtedness has since
been paid and the remainder strengthened
by valuable securities, and by being placed in
better shape Brown has not transacted his
business through this bank for a long time, and
the Middletown Bank did not owe it anything.
Its stockholders are numerous and very nearly
all persons of undoubted wealth, and the bank is
doing very prosperous and satisfactory bust
ness.

HE HAD A SMART WIFE,
And She Enticed Swapping Bug from
His Ear in the Nick Of Time.

HoRNELLsvILLE, N. Y, Nov 30.-James
Knowles, Of Avoca awoke few nights ago. He
felt violent humping in his right ear, followed
by sharp twinges Of pain, as though the lining of
his ear was being seized and torn away. Almost
crazed, he woke up his wife and told her some
thing had crawled into his ear and was eating its
way through his head. Mrs. Knowles lighted
lamp and ished for the foreign occupant of her
husbands ear with hairpin and knitting
needle. She was unable to draw it out. Mr..
Knowles then dressed himself to go to the doc
tors. Then his wife happened to think that
certain insects were generally fascinated by
light and she had her husband wait until she
tried an experiment She held the lamp close to
his ear
IF it's swapping bug" she said, Tor a miller
it will see the light, and come out to it"
In less than a minute Mrs. Knowles saw the
head of formidable-looking bug thrust out of
her husbands ear The head was quickly fol-
lowed by body half an inch long The bug
crept out, and Mrs. Knowles knocked it on the
floor. A stream of blood followed the exit of
the bug from Mr.. Knowles's ear Mrs Knowles
stepped on the bug and killed it. 1t was one of
those big swapping bugs that have their heads
hung on hinges, at the middle of the back, and
work them up and down like pile-drivers when
on duty. Thanks to his wife's knowledge of in
sect habits, Mr.. Knowles was rescued from the
bug in time to prevent serious consequences
