About seven weeks sgo, a man named burke, residing two miles above Howard'stSidinir. went to his home iutoxicated and made an as sault on his mother, an old lady, nearly 70 years of age. The Inhuman wretch threw her a distance of nine feet against the side of the house, breaking a thigh In two places and Par tially dislocating it through fracture of tlie edge of the socket. After inflict ing the Injury the unnatural son re moved everything from the house, ex cept a bed, and left the poor woman lying where she fell, and although she had kept house for him him, and was depending on him for support, he paid no attention to her, and she received no medical treatment until last Wed nesday, when the matter was brought to the attention of Judge More.

New Era, Woodstock, 111. Thirty Dollars or a Cow. Patrick Washington is one of the richest farmers in Fallsburg, Suilivan county, N. Y. He is 05 years old. His wife died two years ago. Mary Boyle was a comely servant in the family of a prominent resident of this place. Thomas Flanigan was a friend of Mary Boyle's Washington wanted to marry again. He several times said to Flanigan that he was looking for a second wife. Flanigan finally told him that if he would give him $30 or a cow he would get him a wife. Washington accepted Flanigan's proposition. Flanigan brought Wash ington to this village and introduced him to Mary Boyle. Immediately after the introduction Washington made an otter of marriage to Miss Boyle, aud she accepted him. She never knew his Christian name until the bans were read iu church. They were married on the first day of July On the second Flanigan presented a bill to Washington for $30. Wash ington caid he could not pay the money, but he would give Flanigan a four-year-old steer. Flauigan said he wanted $30 or a cow, according to agreement. Washington refused to fill his part of the contract. Flanigan at once brought suit against Washing ton. It was tried before Esquire Wr. B, Niven a few days ago, with a jury Flanigan recovered a verdict for $30. The News.

The com paratively small amount ($13,500,000) under which Baron Rothchild's per sonality was sworn less than half that of the late Mr. Brassey is doubt less due to a large proportion of his wealth being in other countries.' Only two British personal estates have ever reached $20,000,000, and there Is but one Instance of a direct legacy of $5, 000,000. A scamp, who represented himself ns a Government agent, excited the negroes of Holmes county, Miss., by telling them that a free train would take them on the following Sunday to Kansas. He charged every man $1 for a small flag, which was to be his title to a spot of land when he reached Kansas. The news spread like wild fire, and1, sellingtheircows for$2, their chickens for a penny apiece, and other possessions at as ruinous rates, 1,000 negroes gathered to wait for the train that never came. Intemperance among the women of springfield, Mass., has excited the alarm of a local temperance society. The Republican says that two women, who were richly dressed, and who are accustomed to move in the city's best society, went shopping while so ob viously drunk ns to attract the atten tion of all who saw them. These are not the only women of good social po sition who have been seen in public, within a few months, the worse for wine or something stronger. Immense pumping machines were ordered by the Hungarian Government of English firms for the rebuilding of Szeged iu, at an expense of over half a million of dollars; but this money proves to have been entirely wasted. It lias become evident, says the. Szegcdi Naplo, that Szegedin can be rendered dry only by the falling of the river that caused the inundation. For the money that these enormous pumps cost, the banks of the river might have been fortified, and future overflows to that extent guarded against. A young Chippewa hunter was shooting squirrels iu the woods that border Lake Huron, in Ontario, when a large pine tree fell upon hjm, knock ing him down and crushing his leg. He could not rise nor remove the tree, which was lying across his broken leg To lie there and starve to death seemed all that was left to him. In his di lemma he took out his knife, cut off his own leg, bound it up with his sash, dragged himself along the. ground to his canoe, and paddled home to his wigwam on a distant island. There the care of his wounds was completed, and he is still alive. According to a decision just ren dered by the Supreme Court of Cali fornia, lawyers are not at liberty to decline to appear In the defenceof im pecunious prisoners, if assigned to that duty by the court. Judge Clark, of Sacramento, requested a young at torney to take charge of the defense in a case where no compensation could be expected, and adjudged a refusal to be contempt of court, for which he imposed a fine. Upon a writ of ha beas corpus issued by the appellate court, this decision was pronounced sound law. The liability to serve gratuitously is declared to be one of the burdens of the legal profession, for which its privileges are ample com pensation. Nelson Bogard bargained to buy the farm on which he and his mother lived. The owner Was seen going to the place to deliver the deed and get the money, but he was never known to returu, and his horse remained among Bogard's stotk. The missing man was a stranger, and nobody was particularly interested in his fate, or in disproving Bogard's assertion that he had departed afoot after selling his horse and the farm. That was seven years ago Afterward, a boy who had been reared on the Bogard farm was found hanging in a barn. Old Mrs. Bogard fell ill recently at the age of 77, and, believing that she was about to die, confessed that she and her son murdered the stranger for his money, and killed the hoy because he knew something about the crime. But she recovered, aud is now in jail , together with her guilty son. Cut Your Flowers. Lovers of flowers should remember that one blossom allowed to mature or go to seed, Injures the plant more than a dozen new buds. Cut your flowers, all of them, before they begin to fade. Adorn your rooms with them; put them on vour tables ; send bouquets to your friends who have no flowers, or exchange favors with those who have. All roses after they have ceased to bloom, should be cut back, that the strength of the root may go to forming new roots for next year. For wooden ware go to 42 Main street.

Life was just opening up her beautiful vistas to those bright young eyes whose vision had scarcely covered the uneventful experience of eighteen years, and, as those words dropped with lazy drawl from those lips from which we had heard nobler sentiments, our mind was startled Into Intense and active thought. "Hate workl Hate work!" How those words echoed and re-echoed through the chambers of thought. Work, work, work, ever work. What is work to the many, who, through sweat of body and sweat of brain, toil along up the hill of life? The question asked must find its answer and thus revolving the problem in our mind, memory re ferred to the question which opens this article, and again to those words of Holy Writ, "Whatsoever thy hands find to do, do It with thy might." How far reaching was the wise pro visions made by our Creator .when he ordained that, "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread." In tho vast endless industries which give em ployment to the toiling millions throughout our laud, we see the truth of God's fiat. Toil on, sweat ever, ye honest sons and daughters of earth, ye are but working out the great ''problem of life," and, In It, have you found peren nial nobleness. There is a dignity in work which the pampered son of Idle ness and wealth may never feel. They rot and rust in wanton ease, while honest labor rears its head In proud disdain for she has letters patent a royal seal to her nobility and ever finding in the sacred fountain work, a bubbling springof life, she keeps green upon her brow, the laurels she has won through toil and generous strife. There is a purity in even the mean est work which gives character and tone to the mind f him who labors. The fever of passitn cools, the wild, strange fancies wheh spring to being in Idle hours, take rapid flight. Calm and serene, the mind at ease, once more flows In a nobler, purer current. "The man isnowaman." The warm, the glowing heat of toil, strife and sweat were the crucible In which were burned the dross and the poison which late infused the mind. Noble, pure and sacred work. Dig nity consecrates thy mission. Through thy channels run a golden thread, whose magic band binds op the bruised heart, and often draws by gentle un seen force the mind to harmonize with nature and nature's God in all the va ried laws which rule th universe of thought. Action stirs the soul, and, though Its constant friction starts within the heart, that sacred flame of love, which blazing high, finds its re flection lu the throne of Diety. Nature toils with hands nseen, .aud though we see not the principles involved, we know that she Is'lkoustantly at work with all her forces, in harmony, and vegetable and animal growth and de cay goes foreveron under tho directing hand of the Divine Architect, aud shall the crowning glory of the Cre ator's hand, bearing his Image, disdain to toil? No never. Take up thy task with firm unflinching step, press for ward in the race, resolved to win bright laurels for tky crown. C. E. II. Trying to Aston sh a Pawnbroker. Chicog Tribune. Tho tmperturabillty and extreme caution of the average pawnbroker are proverbial. On Saturday a young man of an experimental and facetious turn of mind resolved to astonish a pawn broker or die in the attempt. So En tering the sacred shrine he gave the ofiiciatiug pontiffs $10 gold piece, and said : "Well, old man, how much'll you advance mo on that?" The pawnbroker tested, rang, and weighed the coin, dropped ia little aquafortis upon It, and replied: "I can let you have $1 on it." "Four Erebuses!" cried the young man, "why, its worth more. "Well, yes," answered the pawnbroker, "the gold is good evi dently, but it is very old-fashioned it was made in 1834 and Isn't worth any more than its weight in old metal. Besides, there is such fluctuations in gold and silver. I've seen gold up to 285 and silver down to 84: how do I know but that silver may go up to 285 and gold dowu to 81! I can't take any risks in my business like that, you know. But I'll tell you what I will do, seeing It's you. I don't mind letting you have $5 on it, but don't let the boss kuow, for he has the heart disease, and the shock miirht kill him." "Gimmejseven dollars, and take it." said the impecunious youth; but the pawnbroker shook his head so sternly that he knew it was no go, and so picking up his $10 gold piece he de parted. He returned three uduutes afterwards, and throwing down the same piece, said to the pawnbroker: "Say, can you give me two five dollar greenbacks for this?" "Certainly, sir," said the pawnbroker,, calmly, and produced the notes. You sweet scented old idiot," said the young man as he pocketed the bills, "that's the same $10 gold piece that you wouldn't lendme6even dollars on at' interest a minute ago." "I know it, my friend." said the pawnbroker, "that was busi nessthat was buinsess." All articles usually to be found at a grocery can be had, fresh, good and cheap, at Morgester's. James McAfee, Merchant Tailor, has just received a varied and exten sive assortment of spring and summer goods for gents' wear, which he will make up cheap.

Swartz, of Beaver Falls, Pa., who graduated in the class of '77, Allegheny College, preached at the State Street church Meadvllle, night before last, when he said It was not bis intention io preach a sermon, but to give testimony, and he related a wonderful story of the efficacy of prayer in restoring him to health, which In brief is as follows: After his graduation he received an appoint ment from tho Erie Conference to preach at Rldgway, Pa. After a few months' labor he was stricken with disease and was compelled to resign his charge. After being compelled to leave his work at Rldgway, he went to his father's home, near Beaver Falls, where he grew rapidly worse, but through the aid of eminent physicians he was partially cured several times, but relapsed Into a worse condition each time. Two visits were made to Clfton Springs, but finally medicine failed to have any effect upon his sys tem and a gradual but sure decline was taking place. He had become so bad that he could not read or converse, when a letter was received from his brother, Clark Swnrtz, who is now in Boston, Mass., stating that Rev. Dr. Cullis, of that city, had performed many wonderful cures by prayer If It wus the Lord's will that the patient should be cured. Accordingly a letter was written and delivered to Dr. Cullis by the brother.- Upon receiving the' letter he knelt In prayer aud said upon arising said ; "Tell your brother he will be well." The word reached the Invalid the 7th day of April, when he also knelt in fervent prayer. On the 8th he was much better, and on the 9th arose from his bed in perfect health, both physically and mentally, and has been so ever since, able to work on his father's farm during the week and preaching every Sunday. After de livering the above testimony, demon strati ng that miracles are performed In this age, Rev. Swartz made an earnest plea, telling the lessons to be learned from his experience, and im pressing the audience with the power of faith and efficacy of prayer. Sunday Afternoon at Lake View, nve miles from Jamestown, an un known woman was seen to step on the A. & G. W. railroad track, and to face a freight engine approaching her, lbe train was going at too great a speed to be stopped in time to save her life. When the engine was within few yards of the unfortunate woman she deliberately lay down upon the track, and the whole train passed over her body, crushing it to mincemeat. From her conduct at the depot a short time before the accident it believed she was Insane. Deceased was poorly dressed, but possessed a beautiful aud costly shawl. Warren Ledger. A Point on License. The Hunt ingdon Monitor says: "Felix Toole at the last January session of Hunting' don court applied for liceuse to keep hotel at Broad lop City. A remon strance was presented against the ap plication, and the court refused to grant a license. At the following April sessions, another application was presented by Mr. Toole, and although no remonstrance was then presented, the court again refused a license for the reason that it had been refused at the previous session. The counsel for the applicant appealed to the Supreme Court, on the ground that It was the imperative duty of the court to grant the licepse on the second application as there was then no remonstrance, The Supreme Court affirmed the order of the court below refusing the license. The Edenburg correspondent of the Oil City Derrtak, of the 2d Inst, thus chronicles an interesting episode Several years ago a prepossessing man landed In Castle Garden, New York, and after drifting around for several months at last settled down In Eden burg and started in the dry goods busi ness. Times were prosperous, fortune smiled on him, and money came to his coffers rapidly. Ultimately he started a branch store lu Pittsburg and later one In Millerstown, and fortune was still his In a financial way. Dur ing a trip to New York for goods last fall he was married and brought his wife to this place to reside. Except ing a rousing serenade on their arrival home, nothing has marred their life of bliss since, until Sunday last when a lady from "over the ocean wave," with four children at her side, called on Mr. L. and asserted her right as wife number one and demanded him to answer why he had not communicated with her these many years, and what he had done with the five hundred dollars she had given him to start out to seek his for tune with. The affair created a great uproar over the town- yesterday, and there is much excitement over the matter yet this morning. W4fe num ber two is said to be on the verge of committing suicide while wife num ber one is determined to have satisfac tion. The latest rumor is that the matter has been compromised by the man giving wife number one two thousand dollars spot cash. Consider ing the fact that he has accumulated perhaps twenty thousand dollars worth of property on the "setting out she gave him" it is thought he is getting off very cheap. There will probably be further developments. The Thermal Wave. Boston, July 14.
