ATHENS, August 2S.-Greeco has again
been visited by an earthquake which has
been most disastrous in tile Morea, and
in which the loss OF life, according to the
hest information, reaches the enormous
figure Of 500. The Village of PyYgo and
'he Town Of Philatra, both situated On
the western coast Of the Morea. were the
chief sufferers, and these furnish, It is
believed, ell that have persisted. In
Pyrgo not house is left standing, while
Philiatra is almost swept from the face

TO PRESERNE EGGS

The simplest and most effective
way, and indeed the most economical.
TO preserve eggs without impartinS to
them any foreign flavor or rendering
them unfit for cooking, the Plough
man says, is to use the patent stopper
glass jar, with yulcanized India rubber
joints to make it perfectly tight, ike
the jars for preserving fruit. As soon
as the eggs are collected, put the jars
into hot water, and then thoroughly
warm, so as to rarity the air; put the
eggs into the jar, the pointed ends up
ward, and pack them with paper or
something to prevent them from
breaking; then close the jar before
taking it out of the water. IF the
work is skillfully done and the jar is
tight, the eggs will keep for many
months and be as fit for the breakfast
table as the day they We're laid.

An American naturalist, Mr.. Z. NJ.
Brigham, has announced the discovery
of a four footed bird OH the Anabiiu riv-
er, III the Island of Maralo, at the
mouth of the Amazon. Curiously
enough the bird is four footed only IN
early life. and after few days one pair
OF legs develop into wings The bird re-
sembles a pheasant, and frequents the
beds of "aninga," semiaquatic aroid
with large leaves, which grows in dense
masses in the low, fiat, muddy margins
of the island. The ''cigaDa," or gypsy,
as it is called by the natives, builds it's
nest in the amiga, and rarely flies far
from its peculiar haunt.

is prosperous farmer of Willow Grove,

of this well known Lottery, something
seemed to tell him that he should make
small investment, which he die by
handing Johnny RoedeI, the clerk of the
Str, Valley Belle, a couple of dollars
with Instructions as above-not knowing
any other living man in the transaction.
When Roedel got to Middleport, Ohio,
be added three dollars 10 the above
amount and forwarded it to the Company,
and in due time received five tickets,
two of which he handed to Capt.
Williamson, one of these being No.

The Rape of the Locks.

READING, Pa. December I5.--An

aged sixteen years, who was alone
in the house he held e cloth saturat-
ed with chloroform to her face. She
soon became unconscious, and when
she recovered half hour later, she
found that the william had cut off
her luxuriant tresses which had
hung nearly to her hips.
Miss Wetzel lives with her parents
in a cottagee on third street Mr.. md
Mrs. Wetzel, who, with their dauph
ter, constitute the entire family, are
also employed in the cigar factory.
As usual, this morning they arose
at an.early hour and took breakfast.
The daughter was little late. and
had not yet completed her toilet
when her mother and father left
home for the factory. 1t was about
$50 A. NJ. that Della was alone IN
the house standing before the glass
combing her hair. Her dark tresses
hung nearly to her hips. Suddenly
there was a rap at the front door
Before her stood stranger having
the appearance of tramp. He was
middle aged man. of n medium
built with full beard, and wearing
a SLOUGH hat and dark sack coat.
He was without an overcoat. The
stranger asked for breakfast When
Miss Wetzel said" Breakfast with
us is over, SIR ann sorry for IN
hungry" he replied, forcing his way
into the room. Miss Wetzel became
intensely alarmed at the GOODNESS of
the man because she was alone in
the house. Suddenly the stranger
leaped to where Miss Wetzel stood,
incireled her with his left arm about
her waist and with his right held
cloth saturated with chloroform
under her nose. The frightened
girl swooned in q dead faint, and
dropped to the floor, and that was
the last she knew until she recover

All dazed with the terrible excite
ment, pale and frightened, she re-
Blized that she had been robbed of
her hair. She instantly hurried to
the cigar factory,a square away and
her father. The story of
the outrage was quickly told to the
shop-hands, who instantly quit work
and formed searching parties. As
the citizens heard the news they or
ganized committees, and the country
secured in every direction for the
william. The man is sup
posed to have visited the Wetzel
cottage for the sole purpose of rob-
bing the young lady of her hair, as
she suffered no other violence.
Miss Wetzel is of modest and re-
firing disposition and has the sym
oathy of the entire community.

National Bank Circulation.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.--Mr. Nc
Pherson has introduced in the Sen
ate bill relating to National bank
circulation, which provides that all
banks having capital of $l50,000 or
less shall be required to keep on de-
post United States bonds in excess
of one eighth of their capital stock as
security for their circulating notes,
and all such banks having capital
of $l50,000 or more shall not be re-
CURED to keep in excess of $25 900,
but such banks shall keep on deposit
with the treasurer of the United
States the amount of bonds herein re-
quired, and such of those banks hav-
ing on deposit bonds in excess of that
amount, are authorized to reduce their
circulation by the deposit OF lawful
money as required by law; provided
that the amount of circulating notes
shall not exceed 100 per cent. of the
par value of bonds deposited, as pro
vided in this bill.
