DAsToN, o., october 2l.-For several
months past counterfeit silver coin has at
occasional intervals made its appearance
in and about Troy and Piqua, Miami
County. The intervals were of sufficient
recurrence to cause suspicion that either
the counterfeiters or circulators Of the
coin belonged in the neighborhood of one
of the two places. The Government au-
thortlcs put agents to work to locate and
detect the guilty parties. This ended in
the discovery and arrest of gang of
counterfelters. The officers caught them
in the act OF making the coin. The ar
rest was made late Sunday night at q
dwelling house two miles south of Troy.
Four men were arrested, giving their
names as John Hyrc, Jack Mack, Hope
Key and George Clark. Two of them
live at Tlppecanoe. The officers secured
shot.bag full Of counterfeit silver coin
and some mods, patterns and dies. The
men were taken to the Troy Jail, and

Sheriff returned Sunday night from the
Henry plantation, having in custody Mrs.
w. NJ. Henry, widow of the late Captain
Henry, murdered In November last. An
thony Walker, the negro, still insists that
Mrs. Henry bribed him TO kill her hus-

Itbecomes self -evident, therefore, that
living moderately and as much as posi-
BILE on a diet containing q minimum
amount Of earthly porticIes is clearly
most suitable ii order to Tetardi OH asv
and thereby proioug existence. The
most rational treatment with a view to
retard old age Is, in the first place, to
endeayor as far as possible to counteract
the excessive action Of atmospheric oxy-
gen; secondly, to retard the deposit Of
ossifc matter, and as far as possible TO
dissolve partially formed calcareous con-
cretions. Distilled water and diluted
phosphoric acid are believed by Mr. de
Lacy Evans to have the desired effect.
When considering their special action
we cannot but fully coincide with HIM
as to their efficacy IN retarding old age
by their combined chemical ac-
ton. Now distilled water alone has
a powerful action owing to its
solvent properties, thereby dissolYing
and excreting the excess Of earthly salts
which otherwise would become blocked

these blockages which IN time III old

al Amputation.
From the New York Tribune.
The conversation had been running
on wooden legs-that is so far as any
thing on wooden legs could run-and
after all manner of strange stories from
various members of the company, telling
how friends of theirs, and "men they
nice knew" had lost legs, and how
they had had them replaced, an old
man spoke up who had hitherto main
tanned a profound silence.
"Well, gentlemen" he began, "I

steward during the war with the 18Th

the hundreds of legs I've seen taken off,
there are only one or two which made
much impression on my mind. There
was one circumstance connected with q
leg that puzzled me at the time, has
puzzled me ever since, and will go on
puzzling me as long as / live. 1t was
after the battle of West Point; and
there was a Frenchman in our regiment.
/ forgot his name, but he was in Com
pany A. Well, he had his leg broken
by a ball-a compound fracture above
the knee-and it had to be taken off at
the thigh. He stood it we'll. and did
not want to have chloroform, but they
made him. Well, this leg-it was his
left one-being taken off so high up,
You see, there was a good deal of it, and
thhefab5ys did moi want tothrow it out IN
to a hole, so they looked about for some
thing to bury it in. At last they found
a cracker box; but to get it in they had
to double it up-bend the knee sharp,
and turn the foot back. Which they
did, and then buried it.
"After the Frenchman came round
he was uneasy. There was not much
pain, he said, but he wishedto goodness
he could straighten his leg out his left,
he said, felt all skinked upp But
you haven't got a left leg, z we told him.
"No, / know that" he replied, "but,
morbleul it feels all kinked up just the

about the burning of his leg, and when
he said this to me / thought it was just
the ordinary pain after the operation
though I had never heard any one else
describe the pain So, and believed ID
would pass. But it did not. He got
more and more uneasy, and kept de-
claring that his leg was cramped, but if
he could only straighten it out it would
be all right. He went on In this way
