Eleven years aire Mr. Chauncey Lewis,
,f I'nion, Krie coanty, lost his pocket book
staining thirteen hundred dollars hi notes
currency. Two years afterward he
veivod a letter enclosing him the notes
'id .securities amounting to nearly one
usatid dollars. Last week Father Loncr-
rsn, of Corry, sent for him and handed
j jm three hundred and sixty dollars in
currency, the same identical mouey that
is in the pocket book at the time he lost
it. The pocket book had been picked up
jvanian in his employ, a Catholic, whom
it did not suspect of dishonesty, and for
eleven years the happy thief wrestled with
Us uneasy conscience, until he could keep
l is jruilty secret no longer and confessed it

(Vmpulsory education is being enforced
h New York city with gratifying vigor and

jitenJance upon school is employing sixty
rv.kmen, who will report by the middle of
Apr;!. Meanwhile the truant agents are
f Curing the streets for stray scholars. It
is a note-worthy fact that so far no com

Xct long ago General Terry, cf the
raited States Army, detailed a portion of
the officers of his command to make a full
:- 1 accurate canvass of the destitute peo
5 lo of those portions of Minnesota which
bvo suffered by the grasshoppers during
Lit summer. By that report it appears
that there are 0,15-i persons entirely de
Ftitute. Of the number 4,917 are over
twelve years of age. For the relief of this
c-.rltkcu class of persons $300,000 has been
fct aj'art by the Government. This sum
will be expended m the purchase of pork,
ur and other provisions. These will be
finished by the United States Comrais
Ery at cost prices, an advantage of great
consequences to the poor suJfcrers. In
Mota six thousand people have been en
rolled. These are destitute of food and
c! 'iLiag. Both of these articles will be
pen them under the supervision of the
iiiilitary authorities of that Territory.
Seed-grain of all kind suitable to that sec
tion of the country devastated by the grass-lioj-pers
last year is much needed. In a
fhurt time spring crops will have to be put
in the ground. If that is omitted the peo
!e must be fed next 'ear as well as this.
There will be no harvests to 11 the gran
aries and afford subsistence to men, women
mJ children who are starving. While
thereibre food and clothing is being given
to the people of the stricken portions of
'c Northwest, at the same time means
Aouid be put into their hands to raise
crops during the present year. In that
ar substantial relief can be afforded to all
classes.

been m fraud of his wife's inchoate ri-ht of

cree declaring the conveyance void so far
as it affected such right. This was grant

The Baltimore American notes the re
cent death in that city of a man whosn
economical habits entitle him to a InfW
niche in the world's gallery of misers. His
name was Henry Breamcr, and shortly be
fore hi3 death he announced to a friend
that during his whole life he had never
given away a cent, nor spent one when it
sas not absolutely necessary. Some four
years ago he married a third wife, who is a
young woman, but unlike most men in their
dotage had held her well in hand and com
pelled her to work in a factory. Her
weekly earnings were regularly turned over
to Brcamer, who attended Personalis Ui all
household matters and bought t.h f..nrl
they lived upon. About six years ago he
brought a second-hand pine coffin case from
an undertaker, and that riecu of fnrnituro
was stored away in the upper part of the
house until it should come into use. A
few days before dying he told his wife that
his funeral expenses must not exceed 10,
and he decided that his mortal remains
could be carried to the graveyard by two
or three men much cheaper than they could
be in a hearse. Ou making inquiry it was
found that it would cost about $12 to em
ploy six men to convey the miser's body to
the grave, and rather than pay that sum a
wagon was hired for S5 to do the job. The
night previous to his death Brcamer sent
for a barber and was shaved, as that opera
tion would have cost SI if postponed until
after death, while before it cost but ten cents.
The funeral procession consisted of the
fuuiture wagon containing the remains, and
eleven mends and relatives of the deceased
who ioliowcd along on foot. The faithfu
wife of the dead man carried out his in
structions to a letter, and the total expenses
attending the luncral amounted to 83 75
Brcamer had during his life managed, by
quiet economy ana abstinence, to scrape
together a considerable amount of wealth
estimated at $30,000. He made a wil
leaving the property to his son in Indiana
and his wife, but cautioned them to save it
carefully.
Number of Eggs in a Hen.
A curious poiut ofinquiry among zoolo
gists has been, for a long time, how many
i-ggs there are m the ovary of a hen ? To
determine this, a German naturalist, a
short time since, instituted some careful in
vestigations, the result of which showed
the ovary of a hen to contain about GOO
embryo eggs. He also found that some
twenty of these arc matured the first year
about 120 during the second year, 135
during the third, 114 during the fourth,
and during the fifth, sixth, seventh and
eighth years the number decreases by twen
ty annually, it consequently following that
after the fourth, or at most the fifth year,
hen3 are no lougcr, profitable as layers, un
less it may be m exceptional instances.
Mr. Jackson S. Schnltz on Tanning Leath
er.
Hon. Jackson S. Schultz, the well known
leather man, in an address before the Tan
ners' Meeting at liutland, Vt., used the
following laniruage
The difference between French leather
and American may be briefly stated. They
leave all the stretch in a skin, we get it
out by hard work. This is the highest
stvle known to us, and is all wronjr. The
better done it is the worse it is. The
French skin is elastic and yields to every
inequality cf the foot, the American will
not, it is just like a stovepipe. The shoe
maker never has any trouble in suiting a
customer with French stock, while witl
American he has many misfits. In some
respects the American is the best. It will
turn water better, but that is not what the
people want. They demand a soft and clas
tic leather and why not give it to them ?
Can you not do it ? Yes, perfectly
well : the only trouble is in the color. They
demand that it should be liyrht. To ac
complish this apply only cold water to your
bark. If you do this the leather will be
light. Then to give the finishing touch
use a bath of sumac for two or three hours,
and
you will have a fine yellow tint that is
hat can be desired and it will remain
all th
so. It is a natural color and not open to
the objection of those produced by chemi
cals. Though behind the European nations in
the fiuer kinds of lighter leathers, we are
ahead of many of them in the heavier and
lower grades. After visiting the Vienna
Exposition the Emperor of llusaia issued
an edict that the ltussian tanners should
double tan their leather. The superioity
of the English and American harness and
military equipments was evident. They
will pay a great deal more attention to a
military boot than to a gentleman's boot or
a lady's shoe.
j ne
ordinary leather of
Europe is much interior to ours, it is not
half tanned. I have actually Hnelled gen
tlemen's boots in Austria, like a dead rat,
and the soles will not wear even, but squeeze
out at the sides. We are introducing our
sole leather. They like something that
will wear even and all the way through.
The secreet of the Russia leather is not
in the tanning, but in the preparation that
is applied to it afterward. When Marshall
Jewell was the minister there he got into
the good graces of the EmjK?rcr and ob
tained five barrels of it, which he sent
hciilC.
Big Duck Shooting.
From Lancaster Intelligencer t Saturday.
Walter Frybcrger, of Marietta, in about
a day and a half shot fifty-four wild ducks
of different varieties, and three wild geese.
William Nixon also shot, nine ducks and
one goose in a short time. The river is
now filled with ducks, and large numbers
of geese arc passing constanlty.
What States Should Not Do.
States should never attempt to build and
run canals or railroads. Pennsylvania tried
it and after running up a debt of nearly
fifteen millions, made its best speculation
by selling off the public works at half their
cost. New York State held on to its canals
and has lost millions of dollars annually,
while recently frauds have been brought
to light, that will compel a sale of their
works unless the people of ' that State de
sire to be taxed to death for the benefit of
political swindlers.
RISEN FROM THE DEAD.
A Singular Storv From Maine of a Tem
porary Return to Life.
The Augusta (Mc.) Journal of Friday,
19th inst., tells this marvelous talc : "We
have an eveut to chronicle that would scar
cely be believed were it not authoritatively
vouched for by competent witnesses, parties
whose testimony cannot well be disputed
or set aside. A vouns man in tne
town of Vassalboro, in this county, was
suffering ia the last stages of consumption,
the disease which had insidiously and steal
thily brought him to t he verge of the grave.
For several weeks he had been entirely
prostrate and unable to speak, even a arti
culate a syllable. ' Ae became so oppressed
for breath that ho compelled his attendants
to raise the windows in his room, put out
the fires and resort to every means to ob
tain fresh air. One day last week (Thurs
day, we understand,) the young man died.
Friendly hands prepared the poor emacia
ted body for burial ; but just as the attend
ing friends were arranging the remains for
the casket, there appeared unmistable evi
dence of returning life in what had seemed
to them an inanimate mass of clay. The
car of an attendant was bent down to the
side of the dead man, and it was discovered
that the heart had begun again its slow and
measured palpitations, the pulse throbbed,
and the young man arose from the death
shrouds, opened his mouth, and spoke in
clear and distinct words to those who stood
appalled in the neath chamber. There
was no huskiness in his voice ; he appeared
lively and active, said he felt not the slight
est paiw, but, to use his own language, 'I
feel just as well as I ever did.' At his re
quest the neighbors were all called in, who
crowded the house for hours, declaring that
the recovery of the man was equal to any
miracle recorded in the Scriptures. He
told this startled assemblage of his friends
and neighbors that, as he died, all thing
seemed dark, but only for an instant ; hi:
eyes suddenly opened to a new world, the
real Heaven which had been so many times
in his thoughts and had given him so much
comfort in his last weeks of pain and sor
row. He stood upon an emmence which
overlooked a vast and beautiful plain ; the
magnificent plain stretched further than his
enlarged vision could penetrate, and he dc
scribed it in language which, to his mortal
uudtors, seemed extravagant in the extreme
But the revivified life of the young mar
was not to continue lonjc. Before nhrht he
again resigned himself to death. The body
was kept a reasonable length of time, and
buried on Sunday last, the funeral being
largely attended. We have written out
the particulars of this remarkable event
substantially as we have heard them, allow
ing our intelligent readers the privilege of
drawing their own inferences."
