An Old Bell.

Among the hundreds of relics IN the
Washington Headquarters at New
burg, n. Y, is historical bell that
for many years called the old KnIcker-
bocEers to worship In the Lutheran
Church In the city. The bell, which i.
small, weighing barely twenty-five
pounds, is exceedingly sweet toned. 1t
was cast at Amsterdam in l7l6- Three
years later it was presented by Queen
Anne TO the settlers OF Newburg. As
they had no church edIfice then, il was
lent TO thu Lutheran Church en- Man
hatten Island, where il hung to 1873.
when the Newburg pioneers built a
church and removed the bell to II. 1t
was the first one hung in that region.
Its later career was one OF vicissitude.
In the process of time its original
owners died or joined their brethren in
the more fertile valley of the Genesee.
English people supplied their places,
and the bell then came into the pos
session OF the Church of England,
which succeeded the Lutheran as the
state Church OF the former Dutch
Colony. But in 1716 the Church of
England had fallea into bad odor IN
the Colonies, and about that time the
bsll was taken from its tower and
hidden IN a swamp, it is said, to pre-
vent its falling into the hands OF
tie Wings. After the peace of 11S3
/ II resumed duty In the church. In
/ l19S it was hung IN the Academy and
rang the village children to school, anC
also did duty as a court bell. From
/ 1884 to 1874 Il was used as a signal bel
| for the stables OF one OF the city hotels
and in 1854 became the property OF :
lady residing in Newburg, who ir
1882 gave it to the trustees of th'
Washington Headquarters, to be pre-
served with the other treasures of tina
historic building.

SAYS a Washington despatch OF re-
cent date: The United State Fish Com
mission Is engaged in the greatest
speculation on record. From an in-
vestment OF Sl.13 in four years it pro-
duces the equivalent of $1,000. This Is
how it is done: Thus far this season,
for example, SO Jars of whitefish eggs
have been taken on Lake Erie. The
average cost to the Government is Sl.13
per jar. Each Jar holds 16), 900 eggs.
In a good season % per cent or this
could be Matched out, but, allowing for
a loss OF so per cent, which would be
phenomenal, the remaining 20 per cent.
will produce in four years $4,000
pounds of fish, worth at a low estimate
i've cents per pound, or $1,000.

y NEW ENGLAND exchange be-
leves that ''the establishment OF the
tobacco raising Industry in Florida, on
quite an extensive scale, promises to
result in some injury TO Northern
tobacco growers within q few years
At present the product is not sufficient
in quantity to severely affect the mar
ket, either As to quantity or prices, but
the success OF the initial enterprise in
raising tobacco In Florida on large
scale warrant the belief that some dis
turbance may be anticipated from the
Florida crop in the near future"

SPEAKING OF Boston's last election
day and the ''lady-yote," a contemp-
orary says: Hundreds of them came
to the polls in elegant carriages. and
gave a touch of style TO the usual
election-day scenes that was quite
picturesque. Ths great mass or them,
however, walked to the polling places
through the driving storm, many with
male escorts, and many again without
them. It was observed throughout the
city that the women voted early. In
many precincts almost the entire num-
Der Of registered women had cast their
ballots before noon. This shows that
the average woman IS disposed to apply
sound housekeeping principles to the
business OF voting, aud do her work as
a citizen bright and early, so as to
have 1t all out of the way before din

A SINGULAR LOSS OF MEMORY Is
reported IN the Jamestown IN. "
Journal. A citizen OF that place who
had several strokes OF paralysis few
months ago has so far recovered as to
bs able to go anywhere about the city
at his pleasure. He can converse in
telligently on any subject he was IA
miliar with before his sickness and re-
members all his old friends, but has
not regained the faculty of recalling
the names OF his most Intimate friends,
although he knows perfectly well with
whom he is conversing. He under
stands and appreciates what his friends
read to him and can converse readily
about the subjects read, but he cannot
read word himself nor tell one letter
Of the alphabet from another.

WE regret to see that the belgian
Court has decided that Mdlle. Popelin
cannot BE admitted 10 the bar. The
Judges took the old stereotyped
ground, namely, that woman has other
social duties to perform, and that the
law and the customs OF the county
did not allow a woman to exercte the
profession OF barrister. The right
OF "the law and the customs OF the
country" to decide what are the social
duties OF any particular class OF the
community is an act OF usurpation
which is Inderensible. The career

A wnd Cat or ca,amountf

Last week the little village OF shures
Vile, on tho Susquehanns river. neal
Conowingo, Pa, was greatly excited and
alarmed BY the bowling Of q wild beast
which made its appearance In the place
about 10 O'Clock OF night. Mrs. William
Moore and Mrs. John Caldwell, who live
on opposite sides of the road, heard its
screams, as It was pursued by q pack OF
dogs, and looking out of their Windows
they saw q strange animal, which they
describe as about as large as an ordinary
dog. Ii uttered piercing and blood curd'
ling screams, and took refuge on Mrs.
Moore's porch, where the dogs fought II
but were soon driven of by the beAht,
William Shure heard the fcreams OF the
animal, but did not see IT,
The next day George Forwood saw the
same or a similar animal GU DR.. John
SapplI gton's farm, near Darling on. Mr..
Forwood says II was nearly mouse color.
He tried to set his dogs on 1t, but they
were deferred by It's appearance. He
never raw anything like II before. Other
persons report having sean the tracks OF u
strange animal In the nelghborhoOd OF
the susquehanna Paper Mills, and the
varmint lie al o reported to have been seen
on William Silyer's farm, near Chenille.
II Is said that a dog belonging to John
Heating, tenant on J. X. Worthington's
farm, near Chenille, was found dead, In
side being terribly lacerated, AS by the
claws OF some fcrocious beast. 1t is sup

BALTIMORE, April 2-The dredging
season closed yesterday. The time for
the longing aud scraping will expire on
April 10. About 5000, 600 bushels OF
oysters have been received at this port
during the season. This is slightly in
excess Of the quantity brought here last
season. The increase Is cae to the open
weather. The receipts during the entire
winter have been about equal TO the de-
mand, while the prices have been un-
usually steady. The oysters have been
only In fair condition. It Is thought
that the season has been more Temunera-
tive to the tongers aud sorapers than to
