food and work, and We find that we cannot
supply the increasing need. It is a most de-

might have been easily prevented, had the

Crop and Weather Bulletin.

board of agriculture furnishes the following
crop and weather bulletin for the week. The
rainfall has been in excess of normal and
very little seeding or farm work has been
done. The temperature, while averaging
about normal, has been very uniform, neither
very warm nor very cold. This has held
back fruit buds, and they are not so likely to
be injured by frost. The sunshine has been
much below the normal. Warm sunshine is
badly needed to put the soil in condition for
blowing. Although wheat is not so far ad-
vanced as it was at this date last year, it is
reported in good condition, with an excel
lent prospect for fine crop. No damage by
Hessian fly is reported. The prospects for a
good fruit crop are very favorable.

one in the Jereey City yards last winter and
have another in process of construction. We
can deliver dressed beef in the old country at
a lower rate than if the cattle were alive"

4 D.rraron. A. CouD,erfe,t.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 31.-A sensation
has been caused at the treasury department by
the discovery of counterfeit 81 silver certif-
ate of the series of 1886. 1t is estimated
that there are nearly 81, OO0, 900 of these notes
in circulation, and the problem before the
treasury department is how to get them back
into the treasury before any considerable
quantity of the counterfeit notes get into
circulation. It was practically decided to
suspend the printing of the 81 silver certih-
Gates and to institute a new series OF the
same denomination. These will contain a
vignette of Secretary Window, and will be
issued as soon as the necessary plates can be
engraved.

it was probable that no more silver dollars
would be coined, but silver certificates would
be printed instead. Congress has given the
secretary of the treasury power to recon
about s., 500 600 of the subsidiary coin now
in the treasury, and now that this would
probably be done rs soon as possible IN tho
next fiscal year, this will, in effect, put Just
so much more money in circulation. There
are about $500, 900 in the treasury against
which silver certificates can be issued.

To Retaltate According to Law.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March Ex-senator
Paddock, speaking of the report that Presi-
dent Harrison will retaliate upon Germany
as result of the refusal of the German en-
pire to remove the prohibition on American
meat, says:
al have good reason to believe that if the
senseless and unjust discrimination against
American pork and other meat products is
not at once removed, our government will
take prompt measures, under the act August
30. 1890, to retaliate by excluding certain
importations into this country.
''It is plainly apparent that the German
Law is malicious, unjust, and was passed, not
TO protect the health of German subjects,
but to absolutely prevent composition on the
part of the corn-fea American with the razor
back swine of the German empire"

An ObstreperOus Tramp Gets His Deserts.
SHELBYvILF, IND, March ga tramp
named Phil Daugherty was seen to enter
houses where he knew the men to be absent.
He demanded food and money at the house
of R. D. Flaitz, and upon being ordered out
of the house by Mrs. Flaitz he began to
abuse her. Her cry brought her husband
and the tramp fed, but called at the house
of Mrs. Emsinger, and upon being refused
admission he began to kick down the door.
By this time Flaitz had secured a revolver,
and overtaking the tramp at the latter place,
put him under arrest. Over 5000 men sur
rounded the Jail, and after securing their
victim, took him to bridge, strung him up
and we're about TO let him drop, but he
pleaded so desperately for his life that they
administered a sound whipping. He was
whipped until his shoes were filed with
blood, and then in an exhausted state, he
was allowed to hobbe off.
