A Strange Case of Abduction.

Little Ernie Emory, winning and
extremely interesting girl of seven years,
while out for stroll on Fifth avenue,
last Wednesday morning, with female
relative, suddenly and strangely disap-
peared from sight. At least, this is the
story told by her cousin, the relative
above referred to. Instead of at once
reporting the fact to the child's grown Sis
ter, Grace Emory, or to her guardian,
the cousin seemed to treat the affair with
indifference, and only casually referred
to the disappearance OF the child about
an hour after her return home.
The CONSERVATION of Grace Emory,
young lady well known in the best soci
ETY. OF New York, may be imagined on
learning that her beloved sister had not
been seen for some hours. The most
intense excitement prevailed in the
alarmed household, and in less than fif-
teen minutes after receiving the startling
intelligence, Grace Emory herself was at
police headquarters, invoking detective
aid in the search for her lost sister.
Detectives were at once put upon the
case ;and one Of them, on visiting the
Emory mansion, to make enquiries which
he deemed essential to give him trust
worthy clew, learned that Grace Emory
had as mysteriously disappeared as her
little sister. This was startling surprise,
and the detective was amazed and per-
picked. With the aid of bright young
reporter, he took up the trail in quest Of
the missing girls, both Of whom, he
soon learned, were prospective heiresses
to vast property How the detective
succeeded in unraveling this remarkable
case of abduction is fully detailed in the
stirring story OF "THE MURRAY HILL
MYSTERY" Just begun in No. ~ of the

Advertiser.
The general trade and business of our
city for the past week has been n Of
the best in the history of our Oldest bu-
siness men. One of our largest tobacco
buyers says that the Eve firms receiving
here paid out last week wei $21 200 for
that commodity. Our grain men have
been receiving large quantities of corn,
wheat and oats. Our stock buyers are
yet purchasing hogs, cattle and sheep
Our lumber dealers are receiving and
shipping large orders of lumber and logs.
Our dealers in general merchandise sold
owe an average amount of their goods
and wares the past week, and our bank
ers have pleasant countenances, as their
payments are good and their deposits
lar ger than ever before AMI are stead
lily increasing. Such is the business con-
iition of our city, and with union and
harmony may be farther enlarged. But
the determination of a few grumblers
and drones would be a helpmate to our
live active citizens.

Professor Orton's Lecture.

Mercer tOunly StanuarQ.l
Professor Edward Orion, State Geologist,
delivered an entertaining lecture at the Court
House Friday evening, on the all absorbing
theme of the day-Oil and Natural Gas. Prof.
Orion believes that petroleum and gas are de-
rived from vegetable and animal matter de-
posted within the rocks. This is the present
theory among biologists, but the idea is also
combated by some scientists. These latter
advance the idea that natural gas depends for
its production on heat from the sun, electric
currents through the earth and the presence
Of water. Water can be resolved into its re-
spective gases-hydrogen and oxygen-by
passing a current of electricity through it and
catching the gases in properly arranged re-
ceivers. If a current of electricity passing
through a small volume of water will change
it into the gases of which it is composed, may
we not suppose that the electric current con-
stantly circulating through the earth will
change a portion of the waters of the earth in
to gas? This latter theory ~refutes Prof. Or
toms statement that petroleum and gas are
products of an age long past in the worlds
history, and that consequently, when the sup
ply found in any particular locality has been
exhausted, no more will be produced there. 1t
is said that natural gas wells have been known
in China for over two thousand years and at
Fredonia, N. Y, natural gas has been in use
for forty years or more. Concerning the proba-
bility Of a supply of gas or oil in our vicinity,
Prof. Orion SAYS that fact can only be ascer-
tanned by drilling, as the geoiogist is by no
means infallible in the matter of actually de-
termining the deposits of oil or gas.

THE MARCH NUMBER OF THE P~HRENoLoa1-
A JOURNAL AND SCIENCE OF HEALTH, leads
oil with a chronological and biographical ar
ticle, with portrait of the eminent scientist,
"Prof. Edward Suess." The Journal is en-
phatically American and finds an abundance
of material for deductions gifts faith and illus
~trations of its creed at home, but occasionally
some other country is given a chance to show
that there are large brains and great men
within her borders also. "Our Young Read
ers" will enjoy the editors Familiar Talks,
No. B." as the subject for this month is very
pleasantly treated of. To the embryo orator,
DR.. Taylor's "Essence of Oratory," will be a
word in season." Avery full and well-written
article with illustrations is "Conifera." No.
6 of the papers by Rev. G. W. James on GIN
dicatioDs of Character in Handwriting con-
vinces the reader that it would be well for the
Journal people to put the series into a little
handy volume form. "Charles Stewart Par
nell,"' is portraitized and chronological. ellis
weakness and Her fault" opens what promises
to be a practical temperance serial. "Ways
and Means" is a brief account of a Christmas
visit by a party of N. w. C. 7. U. ladies to the
U. S. Receiving Ship. A characteristic anec-
dote is given under the title "A. Pelham, on
the Quarter Deck" poem "Mother Nature"
Jonathan Carver, the American Explorer
physical Conditions of Consciousness" are
interesting. Nearly three pages are devoted
to a summary of General Hancock's busy life,
the partrait is excellent. "The Poison Prob
lem" is one of Dr.. Oswald's vigorous protests
against the popular and increasing ~"poison
habits of the day. "Writer's Cramp' will
arrest the attention of editors and journalists,
as will a rather novel argument against the
use of "Eye-glasses." The Editorial and Cor
respondence departments are filled with items
which are each and all worthy of consideration
by thoughtful people. The variety of matter
offered by the Journal always adds to the
pleasure of the reader. Good things are not
condensed, unilt the spirit is sacrificed, to make
space for ~faneiful verse or fulsome notices OF
press and people. The charge of "Sameness'
or "Monotony" can never be urged against the
Journal, the price of which has been reduced
to $500 per year, single number 20 cents. AID.

CAMDEN, o., March 22d, 1886.

CAMDEN, u, March "a, 1856.
Saturday, March 10th, being the day set
apart for the delivery of these celebrated Har-
vesters and Mowers by Mr.. o. d. Pocock, To-
cal agent at Camden, o.. of course caused a
little ripple of excitement upon our otherwise
quiet little village. Learning on the morning
of the delivery that Mr.. Pocock bad a large
number of machines already unloaded in the
old building known as the packing house, To-
Gated in the south part of town, | was induced
to make a tour of inspection. To say that /
was surprised at the large and handsome dis
play of harvesting machines within the build
ing, would but tamely express my feelings.
l was simply amazed. / found the very corr
teous local agent, Mr.. Pocock, ready and will
ing to give all information as far as time
would permit, being very bnsy at this early
hour loading the farmers wagons. | confess
my surprise at finding the high state of per-
lection in the construction of these celebrated
machines, presenting the appearance OF sim
plicity combined with the finest style of work
manship and finish, while l could but compli-
ment Mr.. Pocock unon his success in the sale
of so large a number of machines at so early
a date. 1 could but feel that it was compli-
mentary to the good sense and judgment of
those farmers who had purchased, for in all
their details these were the finest machines l
ever saw. 1t speaks well for the manufactures
as well as the local men that ffty-four bind
ers and mowers should be sold in Preble coun-
ty up to the 18th of March, for the harvest Of
looo-du Oh lnlS one celeDTaCeu MAKE. ii
work OF loading went on until noon, at which
time the farmers were conducted to the Ar
lington and Pottengef Houses, where a sump-
tuous dinner was prepared. Immediately at
ter dinner was over each farmer harnessed his
team at the aforesaid warehouse and the line
of march was arranged, preceded by the Cam
den Band. As they filed up Main street Will
their notices and banners floating in the
breeze, each wagon loaded with one of these
fine finished machines, numbering about 80
wagons, the view was novel and picturesque.
Unfortunately or fortunately, possibly, the
weather being SO fine, quite a number who
were expected for their machines could not
leave their work; yet it proved a grand sue
cess and will long be remembered as a gala
day in Camden. We give below the names of
the happy purchasers, and will say right
here, L never saw a more jolly set of farmers
in my life-they all seemed to be imbued with
the same spirit, to-wit: to make this a happy
and pleasant day. / am informed a small de-
livery of these machines were made at the
,Preble county fair in the fall, which are not
included in this:
