If a servant in the West Indies wants
something to make his master appreciate
him he goes to a native sorcerer and buys
some nonsensical thing in which he has
faith. 1t may be few white pebbles
wrapped in lock of human hair or it may
be a harmless powder to be scattered in
his masters sleeping-room. If love-sick
girl wants love powder she buys it in
the same manner.

The Caroline county Democrat says: "Capt.
Iser has presented a proposition to the Commits

the number of miles, the number and size of the
bridges, and such remarks as to whether the roads
are hard or sandy as will enable the Commission
ers to determine the manner of working them.
The important point in this proposition for the
Commissioners to determine is whether the coun-
ty will ultimately receive benefits commensurate
with the cost of the plat. The plan seems good

farm, near Mantua Mills.
Young Red Lion is beautiful dark bay, l64
hands high, well proportioned and for size, action
and strength is equalled by few and unsurpassed
by none. He is good mover in harness and I'M
der the saddle. His prominent clear ees, set
wide apart, testify his courage and Gociity, whilst
his clean, light head, carried high, with short,
pointed, sensitive ears, all indicate his excellent
extraction. He was sired by old Red Lion, whose
sire was Lancaster Red Lion, dam a Canadian
Lion. His dam was by Red Eagle, and the dam
of Red Lion was full bred Norman mare, and
the horse was full Red Lion, raised in Rutland.
He was awarded first premium at the last county
fair for heavy draught.

Any person putting a mare and failing to bring
her regularly, or withdrawing, or otherwise dis
posing of her before she is known to be with fOa,
foreits the insurance. Great care will be taken,
but responsibility will be assumed for accidents.
The money must be paid as soon as the mare is
known to be with foal. FRANK G. SCOTT,

Splitting Treasury Notes.

A new departure in the matter of counterfeiting
sub-treasury in Baltimore a few days ago.
somewhat worn ten-dolar government bill was
presented at the cashiers window with request
for change, which was given. The note was sent
to Washington as mutilated currency, and was re-
turred with the information that side of the
note was good, but the other side was well exc.
cuted counterfeit of the original. 1t was found
that genuine ten dollar bill had been split, the
face being separated from the back, seemingly
impossible undertaking. The original face, with
a counterfeit back, had been used, and it is quite
likely that the genuine back, with well executed
counterfeit face, had been passed in some other
quarter. The portion of the note was worth ex-
actly its proportion of the whole, or, in other
words, five dollars. More recently another ten
dollar "front" presented at the cashiers win
dow, with similar request for change. The
clerk at the window, suspecting the bill, told the
man who handed it in to wait a moment until he
could consult DR.. Bishop, the sub-treasurer. DIR.
Bishop recognized in the note the familiar game,
and said it was worth just five dollars. When the
clerk returned TO the window, however, the man
had left without waiting for his change. The
sub treasury, which was out five dollars on the
first transaction, was evened up by the second.
This system of manipulating paper money is per
haps one of the most dangerous forms of swind-
ling ever attempted. One or more genuine "fronts"
mixed with several whole notes would be liable
to deceive expert bank tellers. The face bearing
undoubted proof of genuneness, very few would
be apt to examine the backs of all the notes. un
less something in the feel of the paper might
arouse suspicion. Then should any one, especial
ly if not so expert as bank teller, happen to
strike the counterfeit side and have his doubts
about the notes, glance at the other side would
possibly set at rest all questions. 1t would seem
that the expert manipulators of paper currency
will eventually compel the government to rivet
together the two sides of its promises to pay.

Simon Cameron's First School Book.

Frank Raymond, in Reading Herald.
heard little story about Simon Cameron
which is interesting to-day. Just after Simon be-
gan going to school it took months of saving from
the odds and ends of the family economy to buy
him single book. Eagerly did he watch the
gathering pile of carpet rags his mother accumu-
lated, and when she thought there was enough he
took them to the country store with light heart.
The book cost 81, and the package was ~ cents
short of enough to secure it. Tears came into his
eyes as Mr. Evans, the country storekeeper, told
him of the deficiency but when he saw the lads
disapp intment he said: "Simon, you are good
boy; take the book, and you can pay me the q
cents when you can" 1t was the best investment
he ever made, for he lived long enough to see
the boy whom he had thus befriended wealthy
and powerful man. lie not only paid the u cents
when he got it, but in a thousand other ways re-
paid the kindness.

county fair and this is what an exchange has to
say of him:
"Among the visitors at the fair one Of the most
conspicuous personages in the quarter stretch be-
tween the grand and judges stand was Captain
Charley Myers, noted sporting gentleman. He
wore a loose knit jacket and might have been
taken easily for of the stable hands, but upon
close inspection he would have been found to pos
sess small fortune in jewelry. The gold watch
he wore was perfect marvel; it was made to
order of finest material, with cases ornamented by
figures of his noted trotters edwin A." and

timed horse to the fraction of second, and cost
81, 500; the enormous chain attached cost $500 /;

about as plentiful as his jewelry. He said he had
heard much of Kent and would return to Baltimore
with higher opinion than ever Of our people,
He thought the races were conducted wonderfully

Canning in Harford.-The Belair Aggis {

Canning in Hartford. The Belair Agis of
last week says: "The canning season in Har-
ford is drawing to a close, the crop of corn, es
pecially, being very short. The cool weather
having retarded the ripening of corn, Gamers
have found so little for their hands to do that
many of them have discharged their Bohemians
and ceased operations for a while. Mr. Chas. A.
cGaw, of Hartford Furnace, sent his hands home,
and Mr.. G. W. Bradford, of Aberdeen, was also
obliged to stop work account of the scarcity of
corn ready for canning. The quantity of corn
put up this year, Mr.. VIM. B. Baker and other
prominent Gamers estimate, will net exceed one
half or ct most two-thirds of the usual CROP
Many complaints are made, also, of an unusually
large number of "swels' among the corn already
packed. 40 reason for this is given. Some can
ners have lost as many thousand cases each
of their pack. The tomato Gamers will probably
do better, but the crop of tomatoes also, is light
in Hartford this year. The quantity packed,
however, will depend upon the season. Canning
will continue until the vines killed by FROST"

Right You Are.-An exchange says: "In
many parts of the country farmers prohibit
ing the painting and posting of BUSINESS signs
disguised at that mode of advertising, besides
they will not longer submit to having their prop
erty daubed up with them. The farmers are right
in this matter. The best way in the world to ad
vertise is in the newspapers. They 60 regularly
into the families and are read carefully by the
whole family and if the neighbors happen to be
of the kind that don't take papers, or "havn't
time to read" why hey also slip over and peruse
the "family paper" SO you see the newspaper is
bound to be read, whether it is paid for not.
