the farmers of this county, as the fol-
lowing story will prove. a few weeks
ago a young man appeared here in
search of farm work and quickly Sc
cured position As laborer. The
young man proved to be very smooth
After he had been on the farm n short
time the farmer received in his mail a
green goods letter of the regulation
order, as did the Other farmers in the
neighborhood. Finally the young
man received one also, which he
showed to the farmer and both agreed
that there was money in the scheme
The smooth young man suddenly
stopped work and told the farmer
that he had made date with Il green
goods dealer to meet him at certain
hotel in Sherman on n certain date
for the purpose of investing III the
"queor." The farmer did not want to
be left out. SO he concluded that he
would put up 1874 with his employe,
who was to make the purchase for
him.which he reluctantly agreed to do.
In company with the farmer

short time. stating that he had met
an alleged dealer in the queer at the
hotel in question, where he delivered
the money, The green goods dealer
excused himself to go upstairs and get
the green goods for delivery, but
strange to say never returned nor
could ne be located anywhere. Yes
terGay the farmer came to town in
search of legal advice, ii being his in
tention to prosecute his employe. His
attorney advised him that while he
would not be liable to prosecution his
reputation in this section would be
gone. When this phase of the case
was presented, the farmer silently de-
parted for home, deeming his standing
worth more than 1884.

FoRT WORTH, Tex, July 6.-The
body found floating in the Trinity
near the packing house last Thursday
and which created no little wonder
meut here was disinterred yesterday
to prove or disprove chain of cir
cumstantial evidence tending to its
identification. Three weeks ago to-
day there left the boarding place of
Mrs. G. II. White at Fitch and Throck-
morton streets a certain r. Easter, a
carpenter who had come from Little
tie Rock. Arkansas in February, and
had boarded with Mrs. White since.
On that Saturday afternoon Mr., Easter
went away, carrying his tools. lie
has never been seen since. Mrs.
White has often wondered what had
become of him and of late she sup
posed he was in Dallas, where he had
talked of going often. Yesterday Mrs.
White and her boarders began talking
OF the watch, knife and keys found on
the corpse tished from the Trinity.
They were found at the undertakes
and were readily identified as having
belonged to Easter. One of the
boarders. who perhaps knew Easter as
well as any one while here, recognized
the watch and knife at once. The
keys easily unlocked Casters trunk
and several other circumstances tended
to show +he man found to be Easter.
Easter was known to have had set
of false teeth, from which one of the
uDper molars had been knocked out.
1t was to examine the teeth that Judge
Adams had the body exhumed. The
teeth were found just as they had been
described to be and the chaiu is now
thought to be complete. Mrs. White
says she has no doubt but that the
corpse was that of her boarder.
Easter was well liked by all who knew
him and had many friends here. Very
little is known ofhis history.

Telling 2 Cows Age.

4 cows age is indicated 10y her horns.
At the age of two a ring of thick material
forms at the base of each horn, and one
ring Is added every year after this be
comes apparent. TO find the age there
fore. c1ant the rings and add two. In
the ctse of ball, however. the first ring
does not appear until he is five years old,
and one annual ring appears after that.
SO to the number of rings on bulls
horns five must be added. The result
attained is, however, only approximately
correct, for not only is the time of APP
pearance of the first ring uncertain, but
occasionally two rings appear in one
year. and then again sometimes year is
omitted, no ring being formed. \ dis
honest dealer can also change the appar-
ent age of the animal 10y filing off some
of the rings from her horns, so that COM
plete reliance on this sign is sometimes
very deceptive.

Stolen Watch Returned.

Headers of the HERALD will recall an
article published in these columns several
months ago telling how Miss Nettie
Lichty. who makes her home with her
uncle, Frank Countrymsn. on Gravel
Hill. was relieved OF gold watch and
chain, and of the arrest of one Rev Lane,
who was charged with the theft, and of
his subsequent release from custody on
his own rec0gaizance. The sequel did
not appear until Saturday evening last,
when Miss Lichty received the stolen
watch through the mail. The package
was deposited in the post Office a. La
trobe, and contained, in addition TO the
time-piece, an unsigned letter, in which
it was stated that it would be wrong to
send a defenseless old man to prison for
a crime of which he was innocent. The
gold chain which accompanied the watch
was not returned.

INSTITUTE NOTES.


INSTITUTE NOTES.
a delightful feature Of Tuesday and
"Wednesday nights entertainments was
the music furnished by the "Orpheus
Club" an amateur organization. of
Meyersdale. The Club is made up of four
young ladies and three young men, who
manipulate the piano, mandolin, violin,
guitar. and banjo, very cleverly indeed.
The faces of the young ladies were as
pleasing to look upon as their music WAS
to hearken to.
The HERALD was right when it said
that Superintendent Berkey would
signalize his retirement from the County
Superintendency by making the Institute
of 1875 the best in the history of the
county.
State Superintendent Schaeifer taught
school i'm this place and is always "A well
come visitor His several addresses be-
fore the Institute showed the scholarly
Training OF a master mind. Every period
marked an incontrovertible truth and
WAS inspiration to the teachers.
Perhaps one reason for Prof Kings
great popularity with Somerset county
teachers is the fact that he is a native
Somerset countian and is family con-
nection of some of the numerous King
families in Upper Turkeyfoot and Mid
dlecreek His father removed to West
moreland county when Byron was a
small lad.
That the music this year falls below
the standard is not due to any lack Of
skill on the part of the teachers, many Of
whom can sing better than the conductor
brought here to teach them the dora
me-jas."
The watch presented Superintendent
Berkey is solid gold hunting case
valued a. sl0O.
The Hotel Vannear parlors furnished
trysting place for the school ''marrns" and
their gallants after the lectures.
Without wishing to detract from the
reputation of any of the many excellent
and distinguished instructors who have
appeared before Somerset County Teach
ers' Institutes in the past, it is but just
10 say that Prof. Tompkins, of the Him
ois University, who was here throughout
the week, and spoke at every session, was
the peer. if not the superior of any of
them. His addresses were chock-full of
practical. common-sense information, and
they fell upon appreciative ears.
