one OF the most Intensely interesting stories

novelist Julian Hawthorne. Life and
love animate the entire narrative, and the
clements Of mystery, jealousy and revenge
serve 20 cOmpicate the situation and in
vO.ve the characters in a plot that 1t re-
quires nineteen chapters 70 unravel. a
mysterious murder casts dark shadow
over the opening chapter, and the novel
closes with touching tragedy. But the
general tone of the story is anything but
depressing, and the interest is enchanted
unto the end The plot turns finally upon
the use Of hypnotism in aid Of schemes Of
y'lainy ana shows how dangerous the
practice of tins art may become in the
hands OF INSCRIPTIONS operators. This
story IS American in its scenes and its sen
timents and IS one Of the finest creations OF

The Horse Knew His Home.

Saturday evening people on Perry street
were scared out of their faculties by a horse
dashiug madly the whole length of the street,
across the river bridge aud away in the dark
ness.
Ayoung fellow could be distinguished in the
buggy crouching close to the dssh-board and
hanging on with all his strength. When the
rig reached the river bridge the boy resolved
to make one effort for his life.
Climbing over the dash board he attempted
TO climb on the horses back but becoming
entangled in the fy-net he rolled beneath the
animals feet. One hoof struck him on the
arm, another on the leg and the buggy passed
over his body.
Marvellous to narrate no limbs we're broken
but the boy was badly bruised.
His name is Joe Grim, his father living
near Elery, while he is in employ of Alex
Bissonette up the river. He had had bride
repaired and when readiusting to the horses
head, neglected to buckle the lines to the bri-
die.
The horse was not stopped until home was
reached. A man Immediately gave chase but
the runaway horse would not permit him to
catch up.

MONUMENTAL GALL.
A New Yorker, Who is Either Crazy
orRegards Mankind in Gen.

Floods Henry County With His Shall
low Inducements.

One F. B. Henry who gives his address
No. 20l East l07th street, New York City, has
sent some of our citizens circular letter
in which he offers inducements by which
great wealth can be acquired in a short time
and very easily.
This scheme is nothing more nor less than
passing counterfeit bank notes.
He claims that certain plates have been
stolen from the treasury department, and to
be in the hands of gang of counterfeit
ers in New York City who are able to turn
out work equal, if not superior, to the gov
ernment notes themselves. Indeed from this
fellows description it is difficult for experts
to distinguish the difference.
This he offers to furnish at very cheap
rates.
In order to secure supply of this money
you must first telegraph him the message
Send me 396 Long Island Stock" On re-
ceipt of the telegram he sends you instruc-
tions to meet him at some town within 30
miles of New York.
The whole scheme is one compiled by
thugs. They havn't even counterfeit money.
Their aim is to get dishonesty inclined and
robverdant people within their clutches, and
berry is the result.

Save Your Money.

Every good economist is always anxious to
save all the money he can. This he does in
various ways. The one in which he accom-
plishes the most, is in making his purchases,
of whatever kind, at the right time and at the
right place. We believe that he who pur-
chases his oils and paints now at Ssur & Balls
ley's Drug and Paint Store will make no mis-
take. That oils and paints are cheaper now
than they have been at any other time since
the war, is a fact, and that they will advance
again is also a fact. ANY one who expects OF
intends to have any painting done, of any
kind, this fall, will make no mistake to buy
his oils, paints, varnishes &C., now, if he de,
sires to save money. This house carries q
very large and complete stock of nearly ev.
erything in the line Of paints, of the very bes
qualities. Those which are most reliable ant
which they can guarantee to their customer
to give satisfaction.
