NEGLIGENCE.—A man draw a note
promising to pay one hundred dollars. He
used tbe printed form, and did not close
tip tha blank devoted to dollars, and after
pasting it as negotiable paper somebody
inserted "and fifty" after tbe one hun
dred and before tbe printed word dollars.
The note, thus altered, got into tba hands
of an innocent party, who presented it to
the drawer, and tbe Supreme Court decid
ed tbat the maker of the note was liable
for its face, because through negligence be
did not draw a line between tbe written
word "hundred" and the printed word
"dollars." Any testimony that tbe draw
er might offer to establish the lact that he
gave tbe note for ne hundred must go for
nothing, as "there was nothing on the face
of tbe note to show tbat it bad been alter
ed." Evidence of the alteration on the
face of the note would have changed the
case. Let this be a lesson to all drawers
of promissory notes. No one can ba too
icareful in such matters.

That is nothing, we know a man who has
had snakes in hi* boots, off and on, all

dieting a failure of crops for next summer.
How wonderfully accurate these old chaps
can prognosticate! almost as accurate as
the Adventists, who have several tiuias
predicted the ead of time, but, somehow,
the fellows who are to run the machine on
that occasion, never felt disposed to mix
in, and so we have yet to see the end of
the string of time..- The protracted

successful continuation of about six weeks

U. 8. 8. CONCERT.

The programme was as follows.- The pu

comprising a total population of 2f1,U00,-
000
"This i* not all. Twelve other districts,
with 14,UH0,00D people, are threatened, and
are described as almost entirely without
roads and water. The coolies and labor
er* feel lha pinch most, owing to the total
•uspention of work in the rice fields. The
government contemplated, prior to the
outbreak of distress certain public works.
First, irrigating canals; secondly, tba
Northern Bengal railroad ; and lastly, the
embankment of the Gunduck river. In
lb* first named 32,000 laborer* have been
employed. Their wage* were paid, and
tauney exchanged for food at the adjacent
government store. Lord Northbrook eayt
the government has arratigad for sufficient
food till May. with larga reserve* t# meet
any contingency.
"The calculations are based on former
famines, but it seems doubtful whether
tliey will prove adequate, owing to the
fact that in previous famines llarge num
ber* died without asking .for relief. The
district at present i* umre remote, and
transporlion it growing difficult for want
of food for tba cattle." The rorn-spond
nt concludes a* follows* "From what 1
have teen since my arrival in Indie I be
lieve : First, that neither tbe government
or people can tell the precise actual posi
tion, nor prognosticate the future. Second
ly, the government is most fully alive in
its responsibility, and measures have been
taken to fully cop* with the difficulties.
Thirdly the absence of railroads in tbe re
mote district* i* mostly dreaded, a* the
gevernment i* thus without mean* for the
avoidance of grave obstacles."
THE WICHITA TRAGEDY.
Confession of the Murderer.
Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 24. M'Nult,
who, with Wiunar. murdered and burned
a painter named Wavier#, at Wichita, Kan
sas, in December last, ha* confessed hi*
crime. He say* Winner persuaded him
long ago, in Kama* City, to enter upon a
course of crime, and planned the whole
affair.
M'Nult was to have bit life insured for
live thousand dollars, and then kill and
burn souse victim and palm ell' tbe body
for his, so that the money could he collect
ed. At first thev intonded to commit the
crime in Kansas City, but finally conclud
d to go to Wichita, thinking their escape
would bo easier there, living painters, thr
men started business and toon built up a
fine trade.
They were delayed, however, from car
rying out their plans for want of a victim,
hut Vi inner at last came to Kansas City
and engaged Saviors to work for them, and
sent him down. Tliey met him at the Je
pot on his arrival at Wichita, and took
him to the shop, no one knowing anything
about it. They made hiin druak, and then
gave him ether until unconscious. The;
then put his face over the fire and burned
it until it ceuld not he recognized, and
laid him on a bed saturated with coal
oil.
M'Nutt then cut a gash in Winner's
arms with a pair of scissors, and opening a
vein in Savier's arm, took out a quart ol
blood and sprinkled it over Winner to
make it appear that he had hied a good
deal. M'Null then lett his vest and emp
ty pocket book back of the bouse, when
it would appear that robbers hud dropped
it, and took a train via Atchison, tor Mis
souri. Winner then sot fire to the build
ing, which was burned, and reported that
he had beeu robbed and M'Nutt killed

[From the i>tl City Derrick )
; |
The usual quiet neighberbood of Deck- |
eFs Run, a settlement four or Ave miles i
back from Coc hrsiiton, last week proved
the scene of an riciting occurrence which
created a deep aenfmliou throughout tbe ,
district. About nine o'clock on Saturday (
morning a ycUQg boy of sisteen year,
named Hallebaugb, wbo bad for some! '
lime previous eihibited symptoms of in
sanity, suddenly conceived the idea that
bis friends intended to kilt bun, end rushed 1
from the house tewerd a brush at a little '
distance. His grandfather and uncle vain- 1
ly pursued the poor fellow. He reached '
the woods, aed with tha energy of frentied '
Jespair began climbing a Urge poplar tree. '
In e lew moments be reached the topmost '*
branches, where be looked down from tbe, 1
duty height of seventy feet upon bis baf
fled pursuers. The weather was bitterly >
cold; tbe fugitive bad neither coat nor ,
mittens, bit clothing being rather scanty ,
at beat. How to extricate him from bis.,
perilous situation quickly became e per- 11
p'.-s i.g question.
At length hi* relative* determined to
make an effort to bring tba demented
youth talely to the ground, end a couple
of men ascended the tree fur that purpoee.
But the frightened boy frustrated tins
scheme by climbing still higher and crawl
ing out almost to tbe end of a frail-looking
limb, that swayed and ber.t ai.Jer it* un
accustomed burden. Front this danger
ous alevelien he defied all further attempts
at affecting a reecoe. threatening to throw
himself headlong upon tba eaitb if not let
alone. By IbU time many of tho neigh
bors had galborod ; however, none could
suggest any plan of relief that might hope
for a successful issue.
Hour* passed away without changing the
scene or terminating the organising sus
pense of the assembled scores. Hi* coat
was taken up the tree and left at near lha
unfortunata boy at possible, lie finally
decen Jed far enough to clutch the garment,
put it on, and again resumed his position
en the fragile branch. To the horrified
spectators it teemed as if the limb must
break every instant, in which case <hey
shuddrrea to think ef the fatal conse
quence* The moments appeared like
hour* in lb* duration, while the reckless
movements of the cause of all this anxiety
continually intensified the fear of a terri
ble fall, a mingled carpse, and a stricken
household. A human life hung by a slen
der twig, liable to snap without the slight
est warning.
It became painfully evident the boy
would perish from cold if not extricated,
and ai tba last alternative it wa decided
to fall the tree. Stout ropes vara fastened
high uplo let it come down slowly, willing
hau'ds took firm bold, and the taw was
briskly plied. The monarch of tba forest
succumbed at length, amid tba wildesi
demonstration* of inaane delight from tba
dared occupant. The neat minute wai
pregnant with supreme inlerett at the tree
gradually inclined from the perpendicu
lar and ita top atarted toward lite eoiid'
eartb. In apite af tba exert iane of the man
holding the ropes it atruck against a huge
maple, but ere the colliaion took place tba
boy gave >nr frantic yell, aprang upon*
limb of the maple, ran to the trunk with
the apeed and agillily of a squirrel, and in
a few brief aeconda had climbed higher
than before, llere wai an unlooked-for!
circumatance, night wax near at hand, and
hope almost died eat in each boaotn.
The moon rote clear and bright and
beautiful, the air wat crisp and the night;
bitterly sharp M idnight rami on apace,
and ttill the distracted youth remained]
among the higlieal brattchet of the leaflet*:
tree. Vainly the crowd implore.! him to
come down and receive food and alieltar.
lie continued deaf to the entreaty, laugh
ing with all the glee of a maniac at their
earneat appeals. A happy thought event
ualiy loomed up, which no lime v/tia loat
in putting into practice. The throng dis
persed with the exception of a total! lum
ber of men who terreted thamaelvea be
hind tree* and log* to be in readineaa for
whatever emergency might demand their
assistance. Then a yeung playmate of the
craxy boy, to whom hn had always been
much attached, atood at the fool of the
tree, presenting dishct of food, and begged
him te come down and gel something to
eat. Thia measure finally succeeded ; the
hoy yielded to the temptation, and in a lit
tle while once more stood upnu the ground,
tome of the men quietly stepped from their
concealment, secured and rarriej him
home. The poor fellow'* html* and face
and feet were badly fror.en a* the result ot
hit fearful exposure for ovei fifteen hours
during the rigor* of the coldest day and
night of the season. The joy of the friend*
denouement may he imagined. Every at
tention wa* paid the poor sufferer that at
fectiou could devise, and he la progressing
favorably, theugh hit intellect it yet a*
clouded as before he underwent the dread
ful experience of the eventful Saturday,
which none who participated in the excit

HOW THE BULLFINCH IS TAUGHT
TO 81 NO.
Hoys and girls are not the only little
folks who attend singing classes, as you!
shall know when yeu hear about the pip
ing bullfinch.
In shape and sice this bullfinch is some-;
what like the sparrows in our city parks, !
but he has a very different head. The
sparrow, you know, has a trim, quick lit
tle pale of hi* own. Nut so the bullfinch.
//>s is a clumsv affair—in fact, he has a
sort of "bull" bead and neck ; so, you see,
he is well named Besides, his body is
nearly us hi ark as a coal, ana his throat i*
as red as if the coal wero on fire. He is
not naturally a singer, nor is be half s
clever as eur American mocking bird. In
fact, he seems rather stupid, but he is will
ing to learu ; and so it happens that if vuu
persevere long enough you can loach him
to sing a tune
The country people of Germany have
found this out. There the peasants take
grout delight in training bullfinches. Their
pupils, net being very bright, as 1 said
before, are stupidly hopping about their
cages, when suddenly they hear a tune
played upon a violin. They prick up tlifir
ear*.—or would doao if they could, —and
begin to listen, quite unconscious that that
very same violin ha* been playing that
very same tune for about a week without
their noticing it. But it is something to
catch their attention. Day after day, for
months, the patient teacher goes over and
over tbo same luno to the listening birds
until human listeners begin to wonder
which will gel cra/.y first, the bullfinch or
the player. But by and by the birds begiu
to pick up the air, piping the simple parts
at first, and taking up note after note until,
at last, they know the whole thing by
heart. Sometimes a rustic tuther spends
half his time all winter teaching one little
patient bird, and thechildren look on with
the greatest interest. Or a boy will under
take tho task, and when he at last suc
ceeds, his listers look upon him as the
most wonderful fellow in tho world; and
they cry in real earnest when the wonder
ful oov carries his pupil to town to be sold ;
for sold these bullfinches are sure to be a
soon as they are taught, or else exhibited
by their owners as street singers. Some
times bird-teachers are kuown far and
wide for their skill aud success; and at
Freiburg, in linden, and small villages on
the outskirts of the Block Forest, bullfinch
(raining U practiced as a regular business.
