that an exchange offers to the charitably
inclined, free 81 charge: eve would
like to offer a suggestion TO the people OF
this town for this winter Don't ship a
box Of clothing and provisions thous.
and miles away when there is a little
boy freezing just around the corner,
probably within foot Of you. 1t is
right to send help away but take care
OF the destitute at your own door before
going any further away. DO not hest
tate about giving a Presbyterian coat to
Methodist boy Or q Methodist pair Of
pants to a Lutheran. Give the clothing
to needy, regardless Of the religiousfaith
of his parents or bis relatives, and you
will have done an act that is common.

Shooting in Rrsathitt County.

. A Jackson special Of January II says
Trouble has been brewing for some time
between James Frazier Jr., and George
Smith over a certain damsel, who had
on the affection Of both men, and they
became jealous of each other. The af.
fair eliminated this afternoon, when the
two parties met at small grog shop
near the mouth Of Quicksand, in this
county, and, after filling up on bad
whisky, soon became involved in quar-.
rel, during which Frazier knocked Smith
down, and would, perhaps, have killed
him had not other parties interfered and
Smith got out Of the shop. Being crazed
by drink and the excitement of the mo-
ment, Smith, as no ran away from the
shop with pistol in hand, saw William
Smith, who was a brother.in-law, and
James Frazier, Sr,, who was the father
Of his rival, and without word ofwarn-
ing he shot and, it il thought, mortally
wounded the former and dangerously
hurt the latter. The two wounded men
had nothing to do with the quarrel, and
we're simply shot because they were rela-
tiyes Of James Frazier, Jr. Smith inn
mediately took to the woods after the

strong posse has gone in search of him. +"

most highly respected citizens, having
emigrated to this county from Kentucky
in the early sos. He has accumulated
a small fortune, and, now at the age of
sixty-tiye, lives in comfortable retire.

Thus after so many years of honest use
fulness, his friends thought it a fitting
reminder, of his place in their respect,
to visit him on the OCCASION ofshis sixty
fifth birthday, without previous notifica.
tion and spread before him royal din
ner in commemoration Of the event.
About seventy.fve persons arranged TO
be present and so adroitly was it planned
that Mr. Swango was not aware of his
friends presence until uponsiis return
from neighbours, to which place he had
been allured. He found them in his
home awaiting his arrival. Many good
things were said by those present about

Stocks.
Our Boston Letter.

BosToY, Mass, November 80, 1896.
Less than three weeks ago the stock
market was at the highest point OF the
year. Since then loss OF three points
on an average has been sustained. The
advance in the previous two and one
half months was slightly in excess of
seventeen points and, compared with
this, the decline OF three points does not
seem more than az ordinary reaction.
The downward movement, however, is
not the result OF a too rapid advancs,
but had been effected by rumors of a
rupture in our Diplomatic relations with
Spain on account OF the war in Cuba.
Advices on the progress OF the Cuban pa
triots, in their endeayor to establish
their independence, are so conf citing
that it is difficult matter TO form cor
rect opinion on the subject. The presi-
dents message, which is due Monday, is
awaited with much interest as it il OK.
pected to give publicly to the true state
oil affairs on the island As the Venezu.
elan message caused so much excitement
and created small-sized panic in the
stock market, it isnot unlikely that Cleye-
lands remarks or recommendations CON-
corning Cuba will be used by the stock
market traders to continue their hear
operations, or else to resume the bull
tactics in force just previous to the begin.
ming Of the war scare. Then again. bus-
mess has not shown as much improve-
ment as was expected since the election
which, likewise is used as an argument
by the bears for lower prices. There has
been no boom, which in itself is a pleas.
sng disappointment, but there has been
marked improvement in sentiment
among the merchants and, commercial v.
there is far better outlook now than
Tor many months past. At present the
adverse factors in the situation are given
greater prominence than is deserved and
the favorable features are almost entirely
overlooked by the traders and specnla.
tors who are arrayed on the bear side Of
the stock market, which is due, probably.
to the fact that the stock market lacks q
leader for the bull forces. With the elm
ination OF few OF the more prominent
OF the unfavorable features, still more
improvement in business, increasing rail.
road earnings, etc, bull market should
result, and probably will result, as there
is a large amount Of idle money seeking
investment. This investment demand
now IS confined to the bond market
where there is the sharpest kind OF COM
petition for good State and citybonds at
a low rate OF interest. These securities
are rising in value and are yielding cor.
respoDdingly lower returns. Thedemand
soon will turn to the stock market and
the better class Of dividend paying sha req
will be the first to show the effect. The
low priced speculative stocks. of course
will be bid up by cliques and interested
parties and, in this way, the public will
be attracted to Wall and State streets to |

An Unhung Jury.

In the attorneys room In the supreme
! conrt in Auburn. after court or In Its IN
termissions, they sometimes blaze away.
81 remember the time, " said one OF the
attorneys, ain the days when Colonel Lit
tlefleld was sheriff. that Judge Walton
was presiding and the jury were out on
rum case.
"Tbey had been out a long time, and
.Judee Walton was rather nervous and
wanted verdict To his clear and far
seeing mind, the most remarkable In
many ways that ever held jurisdiction in
New England, there was no excuse for any
prolonged consideration of the case by any
jury.
Cleaning back, seemingly lost In
Thought. he suddenly sat bolt upright and
beckoned TO Colonel Littlefleld, and the
sheriff walked up in that quiet way of his.
"fColonel, said Judge Walton, Mr..
Sheriff, should say, see If that respondent
won't plead guilty provided his fine is put
at $50.
"Colonel Littlefleld smiled and went
over and talked with the prisoner. 1t took
but few minutes, and in less time than
It could be told, he had retracted his plea,
pleaded guilty and had been fined.
"Then the court sent out for the jury.
Gentlemen, said he, it seems that
some of you are not yet satisfied In your
minds that the prisoner Is guilty.
"The jury looked at each other.
"'Is that a fact, gentlemenS'
lit is, please the court, said the fore
man.
"'Well, then, for your edidcation / will
say that tho prisoner himself is quite well
satisfied that he is guilty, for he has plead
cd guilty and has been fined. You are ex-
cused from further consideration of the |
case. '"-Lewiston Journal
