Deputy United States Marshal
Perry, on Saturday last, arrested r.
Palmer, near Troy, this county
charged with passing counterfeit
money. Report says that for some
time the country in the vicinity o1
Elmira. Hornellsville and Troy has
been flooded with spurious coin
Recent developments led the detect
i've to believe that Palmer was at
the bottom of it. 1t was finally
traced to him and he was arrested
1t transpired that he was an assist
ant to the famous James Holden, a
notorious counterfeiter who has
served several terms in the peniten-
tiary. Holden was arrested in New
York on the same day. A search
of Palmer's premises brohght to
light a complete counterfeiter's out
fit. Our impression is that Palmer
is resident of Ridgebury. To-
wanda has also of late been flooded
with spurious coin. Examine close

The Canada thistle seems to be
fourishing in many localities not
withstanding the stringent law
passed not long ago, for the EXTERN
ination of this noXious plant. II
seems that farmers and others who
ought to take an interest in extirpat
ing the thistle are Indifferent to their
duty and to the requirements of the
law and let the things grow until its
seeds ripen and are carried, in the
balloons furnished by nature for that
purpose, all over the land. The
Supervisors in the different town
ships have the power under the law,
after having given notice to those
neglecting their duty in this respect
to destroy or cause the destruction
of the thistles and charge the cost
to the owners of the property or
which they grow. The seeds ripcr
in August and the plants should bt
destroyed before that time.

A fire broke out in the furnace

the scene. The entire force OF
James McFarlane & Co., together
with about Is or 20 men of the 1st

given the fire was extinguished.
The room was Quilted of rafters by
the flames and had the building
been rooted with anything but roof
iron or tin it would have been i'm.
possible to have saved the entire
structure. The loss to the company
will not exceed one hundred dollars

Farmers should not get discour,

earth is in need of rain. The vast

together with the spring rains, SC

more to do with retarding the

SWIM NDLERS ARE ABOUT,

They are Working Many Games to
Trip the Unaware.
AT this particular period the resi-.
dents of coal region towns, are being
worked by an organized gang OF
swindlers, whe present many plans
to trap the unwary. BE careful OF
itinerants and strangers. A well
dressed man with business like air
enters the house with a box of enve.
lopes which contains stationery, ex-
hibits his wares and tries to make a
sale. He tells the woman that in
addition to the stationery there is a
cash prize in each package. OF
course she is loathe to believe this
at first. To convince her the sharp
er allows her to draw package for
nothing. He opens it and to the
great surprise of the beholder he
extracts 4 ten doller bill from the
envelope. This he, TO all appear
ances, places in another envelope
and puts back among the others in
the box. Several other packages
are opened before the wonan's eyes
and each contains money ranging
in sums of 50 and upwards.
When he has about convinced the
woman that he has struck q veritable
El Dorado he offers to sell her six
of the packages for one dollar. AS
a general rule six will not suffice the
average woman. In one case re.
ported Weatherly woman bought
j eight dollars worth, getting fifty Of
the packages. Her servant girl
bought a dozen of the envelopes and
several of the neighbors whom the
woman of the house had invited in
! to get rich purchased the tempting
packages in greater or lesser quanti-
ties. The purchaser is assured that
there is money in every package
but she must agree not to open
them until the chief agent comes
around. If The packages are not
all that the sub-agents represent
them to be the money will be re.
turned. Of course, no agent comes
and fiually the woman opens the
packages. She feels somewhat
guilty at breaking her promise with
the agent, but when the contents OF
the package are laid bare before her
eyes she feels like breaking his neck.
Instead of miniature mint there
is about three cents worth of writ.
ing paper and a penny pen in the
mysterious envelope.

A. z. Botsford of near Nordmont
while lighting powder in his corn
field to scare crows off, recently,
was fearfully burned about the
face and arms. He had set fire to
piece of paper on which he had
several ounces of powder and ran
carrying with him in paper bag a
pound or more of the explosion, and
when about a rod away for some
unknown cause the entire amount
in his hand exploded burning him
as above stated. He is recovering
from the accident as fast as could
be expected, but we fear it will be
some time before the marks will en-.
tirely be healed up.

E1HloPANs MADE WHITE.
Doctors Say This Can BE Done Thr0oSn
the TranspIanting of Skin.

Doctors say This Can he Done Through
the Transplanting of skin.
Provided a victim could be found Tor
the skinning operation. surgical skill Is
equal to the feat Of turning a negro's
skin permanently white. The question
of the transposition of color IN the
crticle of the two races has been given
a local and peculiar interest by an e1-
periment in the grating of the skin OF
a negro upon a white man, performed
by DIR. John Eye, of Reading.
The experiment of DIR. Eye was made
for the purpose of healing a on
the leg Of a white man, and If It sue
ceeded in this it was all that was ex-
peeted of it. Not only did it do this
Int as the wound began TO heal Dr.

narticles Of black skin transpianted
were gradually losing their color ana
by the time the wound bad entirely
| healed the new surface was as white as
II the cuticie belonged by nature 70 the
snot 10 which it was transpianted-
Tins result was surprising TO n doc
tor. because medical men have hitherto
declaned that colored skin wherever
t~ranspianted would retain its color IL
seems probable now, therefore, that
some of the theory Of skin grating may
unde-D a change. and that in the tut
ure one NAV be enabled TO change ones
skin as easily as the Partisan belle the
color of her hair.

the matter said that the original calse
of the difference in the color OF the
skin of different races is still a matter
of some dispute. Some authorities or
the subject maintain that 1t Is attno
utable solely 20 climate. In contradlc
ton TO this however. other authorize
move that the dark color Of b sAiI
does not depend on geographical PoN
ton. nor even altogether on acia
purity, by the fact that the extremes o
the chromatic scales are found through
out the whole negro domain.

General Sherman the other day said;
THE things that General Sherman
seemed to have excelled in in later LIE
were those in which he was the most
deficient while at West Point. Dur
ing the time he was a cadet he never
was selected as a cadet officer or even
a non-commissiuned officer, as he was
never deemed soldierly enough.
"As to the generals standing in his
class when he graduated he was seventh
in engineering, seventh in ethics, fourth
in minerology and geology, twelfth IN
infantry tactics, eighth in artillery tao
tics and in department he ranked 2lt
ont of a class Of 233. Now the idea
that a good scholar will not make a
GOOD commanding officer is disproved
in this case. Had it not been for the
generals low average in conduct he
would have in all probability been
star scholar; that is, he would have

The question has been raised ocea-

the white settlers to make maple sugar,
or the white men from the Indians.
According TO Professor Henry w. Hen
shaw. who addressed the American as
ISOLATION on the subject, the Indians
were indebted to their own powers OF
observation and invention for their
method Of sugar making.
They collect the sap in birch bark
vessels. which hold in some eases a
hundred gallons. They take advan-
| tage Of cold April nights to freeze the
san. and in the morning throw out the
ice. They e~vaporate it by throwing
hot stones into the sap.
