NEW POSTAL CARDS. The new dem
ocratic postal cards will soon be on sale
at the Lancaster office The cards are
of the same size rs the cards which the
republican administration promulgated,
but differ from them in some respects
The color of the democratic cards is
lighter than the old style, almost APP
proaching cream color. On the adj
dress side is a scroll bearing the words
"United States and a row of stars, sup
posed to represent the number of states
which cast their electoral vote for Cleve-
land The stamp on the right-hand upper
corner bears the head OF Thomas JEFF
ferson bound withlaurels. The printing
ink used is a pinkish brown, almost
terra Gotta. The old card bore the head
of the Goddess of Liberty for its crest
and lacked the row OF stars; but under
the new administration Lib has had TO
make room for hex uncle, Tommy.
SIGNS OF THE TINES. AT Register
Bougton's office only ten mortgages
were received for registry during the
month of August for the entire county.
This small showing is thought to be
due to the few transfers of property and
the scarcity of loan money, as well as
the absence of all speculation One of
the aforesaid mortgages was real
estate security for nine thousand dollars
at eight per cent interest. Small loans
of from one to six hundred dollars bear
nine and ten per cent interest. The
money OF our great and glorious coun-
try is tied up in small bundles and
labelled ~. S. bonds
SUICIDE Saturday last, in Little
Grant, Georgiana Foster, aged 76, COM
mitted suicide by taking u ounces of
laudanum. The deceased had long
suffered from an incurable malady,
which preyed upon her mind, aud she
had many times threatened self-de-
struction, so that she was obliged to be
constantly watched. 1t is not known
where she procured the poison. She
lived with Andrew Foster, aad has rel
ativts in Nebraska and Iowa. Her fun
eral on Monday last, was very largely
attended.
