HARTWELLyILLF,

DR.. E. Boulais, once resident of this
town, now of North Adams, Mass, was
taken to the police station, Sunday, by
Officer Daniels, suffering from acute
mania. A. Rifenberg, who lives near
the DOCTORS apartments in Blackinton
Block, was awakened early in the morn
ing by an unusual commoton in them.
He arose and went to the rooms to inves-
tigate, and was met by the doctor bran
ishing an old Springfield musket with
fixed bayonet Mr.. Rifenberg fled and
summoned the officer. When he came,
the crazed man made lunge with his
weapon and the bayOnet penetrated the
door panel. The doctor was so ex-
hausted he was unable to withdraw the
weapon, and, being small man, the Off
Ger was able to overpower him when un-
armed. His apartments gave evidence
of the wild night he must have passed,
as the furniture was badly demolished
He was in the act of destroying his clock
when Officer Daniels arrived. His ma
mia partook of the religious character. as
he talked ineoherently on such matters.
He believed he had been married during
the night to some princess.

A joint stock company, known as the
African Barter company, limited, now
existing in London, carries on, a great
business on the west coast of Africa en-
tirely by bartering European manufac-
lures for palm oil, gold dust, ivory, coffee,
gum and other raw products. Eggs have
been in circulation in lieu of money in
the Alpine villages of Switzerland. Nails
have been similarly employed in Scotland,
dried Goldfish in Newfoundland, whales
teeth in the Fiji islands, mats of rice
straw in Angola, salt in Abyssinia, bees
wax in Sumatra, red feathers in the isles
of the Pacific, tea in Tartary and iron hoes
in Madagascar. A century ago tobacco
was made legal tender in Virginia. When
women were imported into that colony for
wives for the settlers, 100 pounds Of to.
bacco per head was charged for them, the
price being subsequently raised to l5C
pounds. Washington Star.

PATENTS.
NOTICE TO INVENTORS.

There was never time in the history
of our country when the demand for in
ventiOns and improvements in tho arts
and sciences generally was so great as
now. The conveniences of mankind in
the factory and workshop, the house
hold, on the farm, and in official life, re-
uuire continual accessions to the appur-
tenances and implements of each in Or
der to save labor, time and expense.
The political change in the administra-
ton of government does not affect the
progress of the American inventor, who
being on the alert, aud ready to perceive
the existing DEFICIENCIES, does not per
init the affairs of government to deter
him from quickly conceiving the rem
edy to overcome existing discrepancies.
Too great care can not be exercised in
choosing competent and skillful attor-
ney to prepare and prosecute an appli-
cation for patent. Valuable interests
have been lost and destroyed in innu-
merable instances by the employment
of incompetent counsel, and especially
is this ADVICE applicable to those who
adopt the mo patent, no pay" system,
Inventors who entrust their business to
this class of attorneys do so at imminent
risk, as the breadth and strength of the
patent is never cOnSlueIeu III view OF
quick endeavor to get an allowance and
obtain the fee then due. THE PRESS
CLAIMS COMPANY, John Wedder-
burn, General Manager, 6l8 F street, N.
W., Washington, d. c., representing a
large number of important daily and
weekly papers, as well as general period
icals Of the country, was instituted to
protect its patrons from the, unsafe
methods heretofore employed in this
hne of business. The said Company is
prepared to take charge of all patent
business entrusted to it for reasonable
fees, and prepares and prosecutes ap-
plications generally, including mechani-
cal inventions, design patents, trade
marks, labels, copyrights, interferences,
infringements, validity reports, and
gives especial attention to rejected
cases. 1t is also prepared to enter into
competition with any firm in securing
foreign patents.

Giant NettIes.

The giants of the nettle family are, first,
the Urtica stimulans and Urtica crenulata
of the East Indies, species whose attack
upon ones hand is sufficient to cause the
arm to swell with most frightful pain,
which lasts for weeks. But even these are
milk and water nettles by comparison with
the Urtica urentissima, which grows in
Timor, where it bears the significant title
of Daoun setan, or DEVILS leaf. The eff
fects of its sting last for year, and have
often produced death.-Good Words.
