that these men, or some Of them at

Charles W. Duntz lives on the Land
ing road near the Halfway House.
Tuesday morning while his wife was
engaged in cleaning portrait that had
been in their possession more than n
quarter of century, she accidentally
broke through a cover on the back and
saw underneath it piece of paper She
pulled it ont and found that il was an
old two dollar bill. She called her sons
attention to it, and the lad took the
cover off. Underneath it they found
two $500 bills, issued by bank in Mas
sachusetts-one in 1856, the other in
1861.
During the day Mr.. Duntz took the
bills to the Union bank and learned that
the bank of issuance was still in exist

genuine and worth their face value.

The Habit Of Borrowing.

It is the easiest thing in the world
to begin by borrowing a newspaper,
then q pattern, then recipe, then a
book; some day gown is borrowed to
look at; another day one is borrowed
to try on to see if it would be becom-
ing, then little note goes asking that
a fan be lent; and the fan once borrow
ed it becomes the easiest thing in the
world to get either bodice, bonnet,
or pair of gloves. Now, when you
began, if anybody had told you that
you were moral thief, you would
have been most indignant; and yet
that is just what you are. 1t would be
much more honest to borrow your
neighbours money and never to return
it, than to keep upa constant borrow
ing of your neighbours belongings, get
ting out of them the wear that is not
yours and the pleasure that is by rights
your neighbours. What the mistress
does, the maid does. In the kitchen
they do not hesitate to borrow a pat
ent cotfee-pot, and never return it; a
pudding dish, a little flavoring extract,
some baking powder or some oil. II
they were asked if they returned all
this, they would answer: "Certainly
not; why, we would be just as glad to
lend to them.n And the result is that
your servants, initiating your eXmple,
become systematic plunderers of your
nieghbors. My friend, do not get in
to the habit of borrowing. 1t is one OF
the most vicious you can possibly ac-
quire. 1t makes you lose all respect
for the rights of other people, and it
can certainly give you none for your
self The persistent borrower is more
or less wellspoken-of thief. The bor-
rover does not hide her light under q
bushel, for in time her friends and ac-
quaintences grow to know of her weak
ness and avoid her. So stop at the
book. and do not permit yourself to
drift into, what it is charity to call, a
very bad habit.

Carlo, Neb.. March l3, 1892.

Friends. one and ali, am now In my new
home In The State of Nebraska, and must ad
NIT that the change Is great and one has tC
| brace up 10 keep up or rather 6ecp off an ut
| tack of home sick fever.
! The people i'm and around Carlo, are mostly
from Illinois, Ohio and New York States; be
sides many Germans directly from Germany
| AS you discover, they are all "Ianks" and
| Foreigners; hut must say that they are a
! thrifty, good, open hearted people.
The politics of the State are greatly mixed
| At present we have a Democratic Governor
but ordinarily the State government Is Re.
publican.
| Educational facilities here are good. Every
district has u good school building as neat,
and while not so large, better fitted up than
the academy at Ninety-SiX. The free public
schools are run nine months out of the year
and competent teachers selected to train the
mental faculties of the Nebraska children.
Any child who is capable OF obtaining an ed
ucation can do so right at home.
Now will give you brief history OF the
country generally. The lands are all prairie
lands and the country is laid off in squares OF
of $40 acres or one square mile, and there is u
good dwelling on each corner OF this square,
giving each man a farm of lGO acres; n great
many however have sold of half OF Their
farms which gives you an extra farm house
and family, and let me say right here that we
have no negroes here. l think / can safely
sny that there is not Il negro in fifteen miles
Of Carlo. The land Is very fertile, so much 80
that farmers do not take the trouble to haul
the manures OF probably two hundred head
Of cattle out on the farms, and no guano used
NJ all. About all the use that is made of the
manure Is to much their fruit Il ees which is
Il good idea, aud Ly the way. / Will tell you
how it Is done. for 1t may help you to many
a good peach and apple.
In the winter when you have the first
freeze, haul out u load of stable manure and
place It around the tree about two TO four
inches thick near the root of the tree and
then no matter now thick as far around as
the limbs of the trees extend This keeps the
frost in the ground and keeps the sap from
rising hence the tree Is backward in put
ting out and you will invariably have fruit.
Wei this is a long letter and will close to
commence where left off.
