NEwSY NOTES.

Pink eye has made its appearance
among horses in many localities in this
part of the State.
J. 1. Town, a popular business man of
Erie, has not been seen or heard of since
Feb. 10th. His family are grief stricken
and know of 10 cause why he should
have left so mysteriously.
DIR. Leslie Il. Kelley, of Dwight, ILL.,,
has concluded a contract with the United
States government to put his remedies
and treatment for the cure of liquor and
opium habits in all the national and state
military and naval homes of America.
Every man should paste this in his hat
or put it where he will stumble over it
about six times day: Drink nothing
without seeing it. Sign nothing without
reading it and make sure that it means
nothing more than it says. Don't go to
law unless you are forced to, and have
something to lose. In business, never
wade in where you cannot see the bottom.
| Put no dependence in the label of bag,
and count money before you receipt for it.
See the sack before you buy what's in it,
for he who trades in the dark asks to be
| cheated.

Since the assault and attempted robbery
of Mr.. William Tullock, store keeper and
postmaster at McGraw, about three weeks
ago, there has been some clever detective
work going on by Mr.. Tullock and some
of his neighbors that has borne good re-
suits. The attempted robbery was COM
mitted by the three Woodbury. brothers.
The chain of evidence against them was
so closely drawn that two suspecting the
result skipped out, while the third George
Woodbury. on Thursday last turned states
evidence and confessed having hand in
the attempted robbery, and said they had
started TO rob Mr.. Tullock once before,
but had backed out Toodburg was taken
to Pittsfield Friday( committed to the
county Jail at Warren sfault OF ball.

Here is another very clear swindle
which is being practiced by sharpers over
the country. A man puts in an appear
ance, seeks the proprietor of the store
and informs him that he is searching for
rare coins, passing him list of specimens
and their alleged value. He also asks the
interested proprietor to keep an eye out
and should he get hold of any to keep
them for him. soon after another party
strolls around, buys cigar or some other
article, and exhibits couple Of coins
with the remark that they are pocket
pieces. On consulting his list the pro-
prietor finds their value is marked S4t
each. Hero he will see an opportunity for
speculation, spd after some dickering the
second party sells him the pieces. o.
course number one never shows up, and
the coins are worth no more than theil
face value. This is now being worked all
over the State-Er.
