A great many of our planters have
gone to large expense and broken
up land on the outside of the levce,
and no doubt have already planted

water covers the land. We hope that
the river viii not come up to the
danger line, as predicted.

The river continues TO rise at this
point, and from the present outlook 1t
will reach the danger line, which we
believe is when it begins to go over its
banks. Ifthere is no rain in the north
west for the next week there is no
danger for any apprehension. but if il
does rain, then we can look for high
water. Since the line of levee has
beon put up along the st. Francis
basin front, closing line Of several
miles in length. we do not believe
there lie any person who car tell what
effect it will have upon our levees and
the change it will make in the gauge
readings. Some say that our levees
are not halt large enough, while others
say they are. We will see.

A Collector of Doors.

We have heard of persons who de-
voted themselves to the collection OF
door knockers, although, it is true,
their pursuit was not strictly either
legal or artistic. A passion for coll
Letting doors themselves may, it APP
pears, be accompanied by the most
blameless motives. A French journal
has discovered n gentleman whose
chief relaxation it is to indulge in this
seemingly laborious occupation. H.
comes from Pontefract, ''dans
lie pays de Gales" circum-
stance which ought certainly to
disarm suspicion. The gentleman is
wealthy, aud he Lad need be, for it is
mostly for the doors of old castles,
churches and abbeys and his soul
longs. A First class ruin" without a
door is nothing to him. If it has one
he does not rest until he has carried
the door off. Recently he paid %, 0OC
francs for one Specimen. This
was the door through which Marie
Antoinette, Charlotte Corday, Dam
ton and Robespierre passed OF
their way to the guillotine. This
gives fair idea of the rate one ought
to pay, but to buy all the door:
through which few historic person
ages of the first rank have passed on
their way to execution would proha'
bly, prove ruinous at the rate Of $3.50
a head per door, even to wealthy con-
noisseurs in the Pays de GALES. -

A Good PoeLefhook Story.

A gentleman from PhiladrlpLia who
has been in Hartford for several days
on business lost his pOcketb0ok CON-
tanning SD few evening, ago. He
made dilIg,ut inquiries for il al
llceS where he hat been, inc.ul-
ing the Opera House cafe, where hr
had taken some of has meals
Mr. Barhv, the manager, said that the
peck stbouk bal not been found there,
aud added that il any of the walters
had found II, il would have been
handed over to him. He called all
the walters up and all of III IA said
they had not seen it. The gentleman
went out and walked down Main
street. Behind him he heard two men
talking.
Lets stop in the City Hotel and
have "A drink, said one. The other
inquired where the City Hotel was,
aud his companion said it was a little
way down the street.
Gan right, said the other, "but
have the drink with me. last night
| had nothing and to night have S73. ~
The fnct that the amount named
was exactly the amount the Phllade.-
phia man had lost attracted his notice
and he turned around to see who was
talking. He recognized the speaker
as man he had known in PhIladel-
phia. Stepping aside he let the two
pass and followed them into the City
Hotel barroom. Stepping up to the
man who said he had S73, ne said:
"You have my pocketbook and you
must hand it over. 1t is Little red
book and contains $40 and $40 Com
fedcrate bill. "
The man Indignantly denied having
it and asked his accuser who he was
that he should dare make such II
charge.
"Tll tell You who am, he replied,
''and I'll tell you who you are. You
were employed once in the Philadel-
phia post office and | arrested you for
stealing and selling stamps. Now hand
over the pocketbook or it will go hard
with you"
The fellow recognized his accuser,
and at once took the book out Of his
pocket and returned it 10 the owner,
none OF its contents having been dis
turbed.

beat. Hartford Courant.

that science has been able to cure in all its
stages, and that Is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now known to

treatment. Halls Cat8rrh Cure is taken in
ternally acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces Of the system, thereby de-
stroying the foundation of the disease, and
giving the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so much faith in

People wonder why their nerves are so weak;
why they get tired so easily; why they do not
sleep naturally; why they have frequent

Nervous Dyspepsia. The explanation
is simple. 1t is found in that impure blood
feeding the nerves on refuse instead of the
elements of strength and vigor. Opiate and
nerve compounds simply deaden and do not
cure. Hoods Sarsaparilla feeds the nerves
pure, rich blool, gives natural sleep, perfect
