An interesting fact regavdins the
loss and destructou of fractional cur
rencys by which the government is the
gainer, is developed iu tbe case of the
three aud Sve cent notes. The issue ol
those notes by the government ceased in
April, 1809, at which time there had
been issued $602,000 of tho denomina
tion of three cents, and $570,000 of
the five ceot series, tod, although over
six years have elapsed, there are still
outstanding $02,000 in three cent
notes, and over 8187,000 of the five
cent issue-
WMhtogtoD, Oct., 25 Thirty
thousand cigars were recently seized in
a tobacco store of this city on the al
leged ground that tho owuer had failed
to comply with the requirements of ex
isting revenue laws It appeared that
he has bad the larger portion of cigars
manufactured (or hiin iu Baltimore
Tbe charge against him is that he
lailedjto brand the boxes with his name
aod the collection district in which he
resides. As a matter of fact the boxes
were stamped, but not with a "hot
branding-iron," as the law requires.
Upon presentation of the facta in tbe
case by Mr Louuhran, it wasccided by
Commissioner Pratt that it tbe person
who manufactured the cigars in Balti
more can satisfy the department that be
has beretoioro complied with the law
and meant no intentional violation iu
tbe matter of branding us exeouted by
him, tbe department will release the
stock detained if in addition be will
properly stamp tie seized boxes It is
probable tbe matter will be eatibfac-

The following good joke is got off on
Sam Bowles, who will probably laugh
as heartily over it ail anybody; "Tiie
other day, Sam Bowles weut to church,
in Springfield, Mass., and, feeling the
effect of his severe editoiiul labors
through the week, fell to napping, By-and-by
be was awaken by the preacher,
who struck his desk and shouted:
''Who shall be ablo tu stand up in the
presence of the Lord on that awful
day?" And Sum Bowles, rising in his
pew, remarked: "Charles Francis
Adams is the only man that can do it;
aud I nominate him for the position."
In the P.enoldsvillo hunting match
of October oih there were forty-eight
hunters engaged twenty-four on each
side. They killed three hundred and
forty-three heads of game as follows:
110 red squirrels, 182 black oud grev
squirrels, ill pheasants, 7 pigeons, fi
woococks, 1 rabbit, 2 wood chucks, 1
porcupine, 2 largo owls, 1 chicken
hawk and 1 taccoon.
Leaving out the porcupiuo this, ac
cording to our tally lict, will foot up
eiiht hundred and lortv-thice points.
Game is evident ly more abundant in
that section than tbis, as our seventy
men only killed seven Luudrcd aud ten
points. Raftsman's Journal.
NOW FOR BARGAINS.
Messrs May and Silveruianti of Wil
liamsport had their storj closed last
Monday and were busy marking their
goods at aud below cost. This move
ment on the part of these gentlemen,
we uuderstti'id is for the purpose ol
closing out their retail trade which
business has increased to such ao ex
tent as ut picseut it is thought to be the
largest of tiny similar store iu this sec
tion of tho state, but on account of the
ill h'salth of Mr May, they have de
cided to discontinue li e retail business
in a short time and hei.eu tbU move i
adopted to close i ut lin-ir entire stock
as also offering their building aod fix
turns for sale, for that purpose great
pains has born taken to tnaik all their
goods at and below cost to enablo both
rich and poor to obtain goods ut very
low pi ici-s.
Thanksgiving.
President Grant 1 as itsued his pro
ciainatioii recommending Thursday,
2oth of November, as a day ol National
Thanksgiving. The. Governor ol Penn
sylvania will doubtless join in the re
commendation id' tho Presideut and
issue his proclamation naming the same
day. I'akun as a whole, fcfio nation hat,
much reusou to bo tbat klul lor, as the
year has not only been healthful, but
bountiful iu its products. If we tire
not lost to a scijse ot gratitudo for
Divine favors, tbeie ought to be this
year a universal aequieseuco iu the
propriety oi tho day's fitting observ
ance.

. "We kuows the public is down on
us" remarked the old lniikmau, as he
dipped out the desired quart from one
of his big cans, "but tho pub.ic is mis
taken In the fust place we put iu a
leetle water only a bit, to make up
for shrinkage It goes to the big-deal
ers, and they aiu't a bit kceif'ul when
they gits to pnurii'g iu water. They
sells it the grocer, aod they put iu
chalk with one baud und water with
the other, and they are tbiukinjr ol
politics aud get in too much Tbe ser'

Thk New Postal Cauds Mcst
people, we think, must have been d is
appointed at the appearance of the new
postal cards, after the praise with which
they were beheralded It was even ao
uounced tbut the "the Postmaster Gen
eral was in receipt of a multitude of con
srratulaiious" on their eleance; and
this may bo true, as some people com
pliment on eveiythiog, especially where
a dispenser of patronage is concerned
Tbe cards caunot be called handsome io
aoy respeot, but tbey have the great ad
vantage over tbe old style of presenting
a belter surface for wrttiug upon;
this after all, is the main consideration
io the matter, the new cards must be
accounted an improvement But
thtPway of appearance something much
better could be achieved, aod doubtless
one day wiil be.
