A stroke OF enterprise which CD n
bined food and the implements to earn
Il reads:
"Cheese and tools. We have for
sale FIVE tons of Ohio cheese In prime
order 30 sets bench plains. Apply
at the store of Leavitt Il Tracy"
As specimen OF the sensational in
those days We fud the following &C
count of a poisoning
sTUPENDoUs wICKEDNEss.
1t is probable that in the annals OF
the world there can hardly be found a
more horrible instance of wickedness
than was exhibited on the II of Sep
tember, 1776, in the town of Z1wick,
IN Switzerland. A general commun-
ION had been appointed FOR that day
at the Cathedral church there, at
which MANY thousands were expected
to participate. The wine was pre-
pared the evening before and dia-
bolical miscreant, grsve-digger, of
the name of Wirty, infused poison in
it, with a view of making business for
himself. Very fortunately the taste
of the wine was naseous and there fore
after a portion of the people had com
muuicatei, the rest declined incurripg
any danger. The discovery, however,
was made too late, for many Of them
perished miserable victims of the ava
rice and cruelty of the monster, who
had recourse TO such horrible means
of enriching himself. He was tried,
found guilty and executed"
In an item headed Drift of the
Ocean," it is stated that bottle was
picket up on the north side cf Crooked
Island 6 miles southeast of Bird Rock,
which is in latitude 25, 81 north and
longitude a, "a west.
The bottle contained several slips of
paper some of which from the bum0r
displayed were evidently written af-
ter dinner, among them the following;
"All welI-eleyen DAYS from New
York on a cruze. This day had
fine blowout, and FRESH PORK
drank the health of our sweethearts
in Alexandria, New York, Elizabeth
town etc. Captain B. presented us
with some claret which helped us with
our dinner. A speedy passage to the
only way we have at present of for
wsrding our remembrance to friends.
Toast: A speedy war with Spain or
England. Let Us at once convince
them We are, "Free American"
In the Richmond Enquirer of 1921,
the following dispatch from ST. Louis
will be found of interest:
General Atkinson and Major
oFallon (Indian agent arrived in
this place on Sunday last from Coun-
Gil Bluffs, the latter gentleman brought
down with him a dispatch consisting
of chiefs and head men of seven
bands of the Missouri Indians. The
Grand Pawnees. Pawnee Loups, Paw.
nee Republics, O'Mahas, Ot,os, Mis-
souris and Kansas, amounting in all
to sixteen men. Their destination is
Washington City"
In the same paper dispatch from
Salem, Mass =, is found which not only
proves that they had treacherous bank
cashiers in those days as well as the
present, but also proves that the su-
>preme court decisions were q little
different from the present day and had
some queer methods of arriving at
such decisions. The dispatch says:
''The supreme judicial court on Sat-
urday last, delivered many opinions
argued at the last and present terms.
