chickens that now compose the head of his
Poultry Yards. While we are not fully
versed in all the points that are in the count
of pure br' d Ncu''y OF different species, yet
we possess sufficient knowledge to be able to
justify Ir. Firor's claims and they are very
broad, covering every essential that breeder
or tancier would consider. He has for sey-
eral years given careful attention to such
literature as Is readily within reach on the
subject of chicken breeding and he is quail
fed not only to talk intelligen,ly, but to
judge and care for properly He has five
pens of chickens and one of ducks. viz: Ply
mouth Rock, Silver Spangled Wyandot,es,
White Wvandoltcs, Houdans, and Grey Dor
kings and Pekin Ducks They are be,uti-
tul lot; each in u Sc, as much alike as two
peas and all thrifty and in the best othealth
The hens are laying well and you can secure
eggs at reasonable prices He has already
started his incubator and as he has In the
past been very successful he may shortly
brood rs
This stock all comes from breeders at the
top ofthe list, so far as reliability is concerned

The sense of bearing is developed in the
modern telegraph operator to an abnormal
degree owing to his use Of the typewriter in
his work. In former years, when he copied
his messages with pen or pencil, his ears
were accustomed to only one kind Of SOUND
that of the telegraph instrument-while
in these DAYS Of the typewriter he must dis
ttnguish between the sharp click Of the ticker
and the almost similar rattle of the copying
machine. According to an old operator, the
sense "f hearing soon becomes so developed
that the distinction is easily made. With a
little experience in the use of the Typewriter
along with the telegraph instrument the oper'
ator ceases to notice any similarity Of the
sounds

About 6ve-eights of the revenue OF
Uncle Sans great postal service comes
from the sale of postage stamps. During
the last year $54, 000, 600 worth of these
little pieces Of paper were sold at the

Fifty million dollars of this output was
composed Of ordinary postage stamps,
and The remainder Of stamps for news

and special deliveries. A fact which
strongly illustrates the growth Of the

in the past thirteen years. the total

The Nashua Savings Bank.

CONCORD, N. H., March 26.-The
Nashua Savings Bank has been eb-
joined upon application Of the bapk
commissioners, for the reason that the
demand made by its depositors for their
deposits is such that the bauk is unable
to meet them without selling its cur
tiles at a sacrifice. The bank reduced
It's dividends January l to 3 per cent
Siuce then the bauk has paid to It's
depositors wei $50. 600. aud notices
Of Withdrawals for !he moth Of April
aggregate nearly S1o0, 900 more.
The situation OF the bank uear the
Massachusetts line is such thai it is
almost as convenient for its depositors
to place their money in Massachusetts
savings banks, where the rate of divi-
depds is larger. Then, again, being a
border baok, a considerable amount Of
its deposits are trom uou-resldent de-
p~ositors who came in from Massachu-
sets when :he bank was paying a
higher dividend than was paid by Mas
sachusetts banks. The Nashua Savings
Bank has in round numbers $780,
600 of deposits.
Applications for the injunction was
made solely because Of the run upon
the bank Ky its depositors. The bank
already borrowed $40, 600 to meet these
demands. The assets of the bank. at a
conservative appraisal. are more than
sufficient to pay all c!ains. The bank
was examined last September and an
other examination will be mad imme-
diately by the comm ~s. after
which they will apply to II. Jour1 for
some modi6:atious Of the existing order
to give relief to those depositors who need

The Probable End of Boxing Bouts
in the Quaker City.

IN the Quaker City.
PHILADELPHIA, March 2S.-A YER
dict of guilty was rendered this
morning by a jury in the Quarter
Sessions Court in the cases against
Cbas. G. Mccarthy, Charles Mckee
yer and Jack Fogarty, who with
Horace Leeds were indicted for aid
ing, abetting and taking part in a
prize fight Mccarthy and Mckee
yer respectively met Leeds in four
round boxing bouts here on January
% and 26, Fogarty being the re.
fierce. Leads has not been arrested,
he being beyond the jurisdiction Of
the commonwealth
The district attorney referred to
the conviction as a great victory for
law and order and declared that the
verdict itself, would have more
weight than the mere Imprisonment
of the contestants.
Judge Gordon agreed with the Dis
trict Attorney, and said the men
were mere tools. who had been hired
to receive the punishment, while
those who promoted the schemes
reaped the largest share of the bene-
fit. The Judge said that he
wanted to call attention to the
fact that a member of the mi
nor judiciary OF the city, a police
magistrate, was one of those behind
the whole affair, and he was only
sorry that he did not have the prieci-
pals before him so that they could be
summarily dealt with Mccarthy,
McKecver aud Fogarty were then
ordered to give $1,000 security each
to. appear before the court when
wanted
Unless the convicted pugilists ap-
peal the Case and succeed in getting
the decision revised in the Supreme
Court, boxing in this city will soon
be a thing of the past. The shows
given at the Southwark, Nonparell,
Caledonian Club. Athletic Club of
the Schuylkill Navy and the Girard
Athletic Club are all practically SINH
lar to those at the winter circus, and
the promoters will necessarily be
compelled to close their doors. or
else suffer the same fate as these
pugilists.
