A Mean Piece of Work.

Nothing has 50 aroused fhe cltiZehs
of Oswego, n. Y, for months as the
outrage committed on one Of tRe most
respected young ladies of that city last
Saturday evening. Frank G.. Thrall is
an officer of tho First National Bank
and is honored and respected. MIR. ana
Mrs. Thrall left home TO rehearse WIN
the East Methodist Church choir, leay-
iny behind their two daughters. Emma.
aged eighteen years, and Grace age"
about nine. The servants had gone out.
Before leaving Mr.. Thrall closed the
blinds and securely fastened the doors
and windows. but neglected 10 close Il
window in the back room. About SD
d. M. Miss Emma put her sister TO bed
and sat down at the piano. While play
inc she suddenly became aware that
someone was in the room and, looking
IN. saw two men, wearing mOccasinS
and black masks with holes cut in them
for The eyes aud nose. One of the men
carried butcher-knife and large
pair of shears. One of the fellows
grasped the girl by the throat and
warned her not to scream, under pen
atty of having her throat cut. He told
her to keep quiet, saying he had moth
ing against her, but wanted TO be re-
venged on her father. He then took
The shears and proceeded to cut off the
girls hair, which was very long, and
after doing this cut her dress into tat
tcrs. Meanwhile his accomplish had
gone through the house, but secured
nothing except the silver OH the dining
room tanle. The intruderS, after Sc
curing the booty, left. Emma screamed
and called in the neighbors, but the
men had disappeared. Mr.. and Mrs.
Thrall returned home soon after. They
cannot account for the outrage. The
police are working on the ease. BY
many it il thought that some unprin-
cipled wretch had taken offcnSe at some
of Mr.. Thrall's business ways in con-
Quoting his duties at the bank and took
this way of getting satisfaction.

Wore Than Half Way.
ARE THOSE MET WHO MEAN BUSINESS. AND
WOULD DO SOMETHING.

With spring fairly here at last aha
Nature IN smiling mood, the lnciina-
ton 10 look about for ways and means
TO better surroundings is strong. With
many last summers action OF the b. u
O. in issuing Circular No. Z, with a
view of promoting settlement and the
establishment of manufacturing ana
other industries along its line, came
POSSIBLY rather late for 5enefiting by
its liberal inducements during 1854.
But now, with everything ripe for ad-
yancement and Improvement, the open
enings are most advantageous. Inc b.
& O. offers freight transportation at nall
rates on household effects and building
material for dwellings or structures in
tended exclusively for manufacturing
purposes; half passenger rates LOT
workmen employed on such improve
ments, and free transportation for iami-
lies and domestics, first occupants OF
,he dwellings constructed as above, on
the way to them, and thereafter low
conmutation rates. More than this,
free care and transmittal OH passenger
trains is rendered for marketing ana
household supplies of reasonable bulk
and belonging to holders of commute
ton tickets. These concessions apply
To suburban and other country settle
n,.nts. and those at all interested should
communicate with the proper officials
and secure full data-those east of the
Ohio to Vice President Spencer, Balti-
more: Pittsburg Division and tributar-
les. to General Superintendent, Pitts
burg. and west of the Ohio, to General
Superintendent Foreacre, Newark.
Special inducements beyond such as
have been indicated may be given to
manufacturing corporations, land and
building associations, and individuals
contemplating the expenditure OF con-
siderable sums in construction. In short,
the b. & o. management will be found
right up abreast of the times, quick to
discern the benefits to accrue from en-
ergy and enterprise, and alert in afford

Be sure you are right, then go ahead,
If this old maxim were oftener applied,
il would save vast amount of suffering
and misery to the human family-but
it seems that the only thing necessary
in this age is to get the people TO read
some high sounding notice of wonder
full cure, and then humbug them with
some worthless patent medicine, which
not only relieves them of their money,
but leaves them with shattered health,
and broken down constitution. Bat
there is remedy, which is not patent
medicine, and can be used by any one
without the least fear of injurious re-
suits, the "Seven Springs Iron-Alum
Mass" is simple, pure and harmless,
yet wonderfully efficient in curing dis
eases. A pamphlet giving history of
this remedy mailed to any address by

family, young, intelligent and prepos-

give them very much satisfaction.
