The Secretary of the Tressury has decided that there is no law or reputation authorizing tho redemption or exchange by his department of any coins of the United finite n on account of Iheir being mutilated, but mutilated silver coins will he purchased as bullion by any mint of the Uni ted Slates, and it is presumed that hddersof nil h coins can dispose of them lo brokers or to dealers in like manner, in which cases, f course, their value will vary according to the amount of metal in the pieces and tho current prico of silver bullion. It is thought that the values of the mutilated coins will bo about as follows: Dollars, 85 cents; half dollars, 35 cents; quarters, 15 cents; dimes, 5 cents. THE J1INSTUKLS. Mondty night was (he boltest and most un- comfortable ol tho eeason, yet in spite of this, a largo audience greeted (he first troupe of tho season at the Opera House. The performance was a most decided disappointment. The com pany is weak in every way and extremely un satisfactory. Last year, Ilentz's Minstrels gave an excellent entertainment and won dtserved praise. The present troupe evidently hopes to get along on last year's reputation. Thero was not a selection in Monday night's pro gramme worthy of commer.dalion, and thoso of the audience who waited until the fall of the etirtaiu in the hopo that something would be given to break the routine ot monotonous me diocrity wero the most thoroughly dbappoint- ed.

She said that five weiks ngo her husband had read her an account of u 'traveling salesman being muidircd and his body afterward thrown on the trsck In order to conceal the crime.

Miller, who was, some years ago, clerk at tho Exchange Holcl in llloomsburg. Tho Willlamsport Gazette it Ilutlctin says that ho "came over from Camp Garfield at Wilkes-Barre with the Twelfth reg iment boys Monday evening. 'Just before the train pulled out from South Wilkes-Barre, the "Count" met with a little incident which he will uot forget very soon. Feeling very thirsty he went over lo a saloon, accompanied by a friend, to drink some lemonade. While drink ing of the cooling beverage hU nttention was attracted to n peach tree in the yard, which was crowded with luscious-looking poaches. Feeling that he could relish a few of them, bo moved out into the yard Blowly, reached up to a limb, pulled it down, p.nd wn? in the tct of plucking a very fine peach, when n bull dog he had uot noticed, Bprnng out of a kennel nt tho lower end of tho gulden nnd rushed toward him harking furiously. The "Count" being a very active man, wheeled Fuddirdynnd started for Iho street, going over the ground with the swiftness otn deer; tho front goto of tho yard was closed, but lie, went over this n foot higher than was necessary. Reaching the strict he did not dure to slopunlil he drew ilusc to the rnilroid, rind when be halted, the first thing he did was to turn nround nnd examine tho liind side of his clothirg. Finding that there was no tear he smiled, got aboard the train nnd told a number cf Iho hoys, qui etly, where they could get nme very line peaches." PERSONAL.

At about half past twelve o'clock on Wed neselny last, Mr. Thomas Rulledge went lo his home on the main street of Espy, for dinnor. While preparing tor Iho meal he noticed a thread of smoke issuing from Ihe roof of tho kitchen near the chimney. He thought n bucket of water would be sufficient to extin guish tho tiny fire, but soon discovered that tho flames had worked Iheir way under (lie shin gles and in a fow moments tho roof was ablaze. Tho lira spread with such wonderful rapidity that it was found impossible to save tho build ing. Tho furniture nnd other property was hastily reinoyid to n place of Hafety and, so far as is known,but little was lost Tho liouse was entirely destroy! d. It is thought that a spark from tho chimney fell upon the roof and igni ted the shingles, which were as dry ns limit r from the long continued drought. Adjoining Mr. Rutlodge's houso and separated only by a passage of fcur or fivo feet, was Iho store of W1 E.
