Robbed by Confidence Men.
HOW AN AGED FARMER LOST FIFTEEN
 HUNDRED DOLLARS.

A few days ago two we'll dressed strangers made their appearance in Rome, N. Y, says local paper, and took quarters in the principal hotel. During their stay they made frequent trips into the country, but refused to ac- quaint even liverymen from whom they hired carriages even with the distance which they had driven or the direction which they had taken. However, as they seemed to have plenty of money and paid all charges without question, they were not pressed for explanations. One day they returned from one of these trips with their horse covered with foam and almost exhausted. Five minutes later they boarded an st-bound express train. The secret of their nasty depar ture became known the next day, when it was learned that they had victimized to the tune of $1 ,500 a wealthy farmer 73 years old, named Samuel Reese, who lives in the town of Western.
 The elder of the two strangers had called upon MT. Reese several times alone for the ostensible purpose of buy ing site on his farm for a canning factory. One morning he visited him dSdAA WAtAout AAS SoAAP PoAAoh' booA afterward the younger man appeared and, displaying a large roll of bills, sad that he wanted to buy number of thoroughbred cattle. There was no sign of recognition between him and his fellow-operator, and their acquaint- ance was not suspected. After some conversation the two confidence men engaged in the game of three card monte, the elder man winning 1,50O. Reese was invited to try his luck, the manipulator of the cards proposing to bet $3,0OO. The unsuspecting farmer, under an arrangement with his friend of the canning factory, who agreed to take half of the wager, drove with the latter to Rome, drew $1,500 from his bank, and then hurried back toward home. The card manipulator met them in lonely part of the road. Reese produced his money, and at tho same time the confidence operator presented a revolver, seized the roll of bills, and ordered him out of the carriage. Then, taking his place, he and his companlon drove back to Rome at full speed and took the train for the East. The aged farmer was 80 much astonished and frightened that he did not speak of the affair even to his family until several days after, when the robbery was re- ported to the Chief of Police here. It was learned that these same men had been operating extensively in the neigh. borhood of Watcrtown and Ogdensburg.

A Canadian Schooner Seized.

PORTLAND, Me, May 25.-There is great ex5 citement here. Captain Jesso Ellis entered at the Custom House his schooner Sisters, from Yarmouth, N. S., with cargo of 2O, 900 mack erel, taken last Wednesday. Captain Ellis signed the customary oath that his report and manifest correctly described the cargo of his vessel. First Deputy Collector Colesmith then asked for the manifest. '1 have not any, replied Captain Ellis. Colesmith expressed his sorrow that the captain should have been caught without his papers, but told him nothing could be done in his case; that he must, in the usual course, pay the fine im- posed by law.
 "How much p asked the captain.
 ssFive hundred dollars" replied Colesmith.
 ssMy God, the little schooner won't bring that" said the captain, who presented pie ture of distress. Nothing could be done for him, and Surveyor Bradbury sent Inspector Home to take formal possession of the schoon- CT. This done, Captain Ellis and his crew were allowed to go on dlscharging their cargo of 20, 900 mackerel. It was pathetic to see the captain and the crew of the wretched little schooner discharging the cargo that the Gov ernment of the United States will claim.
 Secretary Bayard has been informed of the seizure o. B. Whitten, secretary of the Port. land Fishing Exchange, said of it: Coming at this time. the seizure of the Sisters will do good. She comes here from port so near Digby that the fellows up there will hear of 1t. The matter having been referred to Sec retary Bayard, he will be obliged to take notice of it.''

Can Consumption be Curede
 We have orton seen fatal results follow the declaration that it can be cured, that we have unconsciously settled down in the belief that this disease must necessarily prove fatal. It is true that occasionally a community has witnessed an isolated case of what may ap- propriately be termed spontaneous recovery, but to what combination of favorable circum- stances this result was due none have hitherto been found able to determine.
 We have now the gratifying fact to announce that the process by which nature effects this wonderful change is no longer mystery to the medical profession, and that the changes brought about in the system under favorable as certainty and more expeditiously by tho use of tho proper remedy. In other words, naturo is initiated and assisted.
 Tuberculous matter is nothing moro or less than nourishment imperfectly organized. Now, if we can procure the organization of this food material so that through the process of elective affinity it may take its place in the system, we can cure the disease. This is just what Piso's Cure for Consumption does It arrests at once the progress of the disease by preventing the further supply of tuberculous matter, for while the system is under its in- fuence all nourishment is organized and as-
 
 tion, night-sweats. hectic fever, and all other characteristic symptoms of Consumption.
 Many physicians are now using this medi- cine, and all write that 1t comes fully up to it's recommendations and makes Consumption one of tho diseases they can readily cure.
 The forming stage of disease is always the most suspicious for treatment This fact should induce persons to resort to the of Piso's Cure when the cough Is first noticed, whether it has consumptive diathesis for its cause or not for this remedy cures all kinds of coughs with uRequalled facility and promptness. In cough, from . simple cold two three doses of the medicine have been found sufficient to remove the trouble. So in all diseases of tho throat and lungs, with symptoms stimulating those of Consumption, Piso's Cure is the only infal. lible remedy.
 The following letter recommending Piso's Cure for Consumption, is a fair sample of the certificates received daily by the proprietor of this medicine:
 ALBION, N. Y., Dec. g, 1885. Ihad terrible Cough, and two physicians said would never get we'll. then went to a drug store and asked for good cough medicine The druggist gave me Piso's Cure, and it has done me more good than any thingI over used lido not believe l could live without 1t.

PreaerYinE Fodder.


 MT. L. T. Hagen, Hazen's Mills, N. H.. informs the Ne,o Eng1and Farmer. that he has been very successful in putting in and keeping corn ensilage for his large herd of dairy stock, some 120 in number, fed for butter-making. His figures and esti- mates show about 500 tons of green corn grown last year, $50 of which was put in the silo, the remainder being fed in the fall while in the fresh state. The total cost of the ensilage put into the silo and weighed down was fraction less than 75 cents per ton. He has fed ensilage in connection with dry fodder, about half of each, the dry fodder being half hay and half green oats cured for hay. For this crop the seed was sown at the rate of five bushels of oats per acre, giving fine soft quality of fodder, fully equal to ordinary hay. A larger silo will be built the present season, the supply of ensilage having been exhausted some weeks ago. The relative value of the ensilage, as compared to dry fodder, was illustrated by the yield of butter be- fore and after the change was made to dry feed. The ensilage was exhausted at the end of week. Monday and Wednesday following, five good Jerseys were added to the herd of fifty-six which were in milk, but notwithstanding this increase of the herd, tho butter yield x TIT TIT.

While the ensilage lasted, it saved the feeding of 15o tons of hay, which in MT. Hazen's locality is worth $12 per ton, or $1, 800. He filled his silo slowly, let the contents acquire high degree of heat, and thinks he has as good quality of ensilage as he has ever seen. Before building his silo he bought and read all the best authorities on ensilage.
