A Strange Adventuro.

attonJaot iucidontn, completely o
ronsed tbo whole town.
Orrville wae aituited on Like
WaDoaa.ono of the most charming lit
tle sheet of water in onr iul.in I
States. In a uecludod tnlley, ehnt
ont, aa it were from all the rent of
tbe world by the enrrooodinjr bills,
with a solitary mijastio moantain
keeping silent vigil over the slumb
ering scene, lay tho beautiful lake,
and. on its margin, the miniature
town. Tbe spot was all that a poet
niL'tit fancy, or a romautio lover
sigh for t and when there w.t ad
vertised "A new smnmor resort, tho
Orville ITouso at Orrville," with ev
ery aeooioodation &.s., Ac, it is not
surpnsiuff that many parsons, who
had been struck by the surpassing
beauty of the pleoe, as the caught
at flying gWuoo of it in tbe wuizz:d
train should respond. immediately
to the opportunity, and enge to
spend tho summer or nu'mnu monthti
at so chrtn&iiit? a resort.
Among the curlier guuHts nt the
Orrville House, 'ore Cilmrlea L tey,
a talented youn j lirrifstr of liiuile I

Van Havon, a Imuduomo yo'iuy
merchant of Now York.
Charles Lacy and Mattio limb
liad been phymnto in their child
hood i bnt the former hid removed
from bis native place iu his fifteenth
tear, and hud never met the sweet
heart of bis boyitdi days until time
had transformed biiu into tlu full
tatno of a man. JSotu were uow so
complotoly changed, that they mot
at Orrville as entiro etrangorx, and
were only recognizable to one anoth
er by tbe mention cf their n tinos
and places of residence. The ac
quaintance, thus renewed, ripened
iuto ardent love, and Charles Lacy
considered himself tbe luckiest ful
low on earth.
'Did you bear tho news Mattio t"
asked Lacy, one morning, as his be
trothed seated herself at tbe break
last table by bis side.
' "Not what is it t'
"Johnson & Co., bankers in this
town, hare been robbed of over one
hundred thousand dollars l'
- "You don't say so I When did it

"Soma time during the earlier
part of tbe morning. Tbe thief,
whoever be ia, made a pretty fair
haul of it left the firm with a very
mall sum for its own pocket-book.
It waa a private bankiogbonse, and
Involves many of the leading persons
of the town.''
"And they haven't aocured the
guilty parties 7"
"No i and are not likely to do so
eithor. Men who take such goodly
sums aa this, generally secure a safe
avenne of escape. But 1 can tell
jouthis," be added, lowering bis
voice, and inolining his bead toward,
hers, suspicion falls on the Orville
House, but no one individually, as
far aa I am aware of.
Just then a waiter placed a letter
by bia tide saying j "Something for
Mr. Lacy." .
It read thus -"Coma to Dal ton at

The United States Economist says i
"It is a significant fact that nearly
all tbe failures which ocourred from
tbe commencement of tbe panio of
1873 to the present time were caus
ed by excessive speculation, engage
raeot in enterprises outside propor
business of tbe purties conoemed,
and to the waste of capital oonse
quont on these injudicious oper
ations. To this statemont there
appears to be absolutely no ex
ception. A few minor, aod, as we
shall assume, innocent firms may
have been carried away and over,
born by the failure of greater con
cerns.' And this excessive peon
