favorably with many of the leading papers of
the State. In its locals and general get up

And now Amaxdus sets up a terrible
howling about a little job of printing. Pray
Amandis Oreyus, show us one good job

"A lady who has ieided in the Western
States for marry years- has recently been visit
ing her relatives in the lower end of this
county. She reports that where she has re
sided since the advent of the potato bugs the
sole protection against the ravages of the in
sects has been the application of Paris green;
and she ridicules the idea that the application
of Paris green is in any way injurious to the
tubers. All of the potatoes that she has
eaten for years have been protected from the
bugs by the drug, and she has never felt any
evil effects from it, neither had she ever
heard of any deleterious effects from the ap
plication of Paris green.
The iron safe lately taken from the wreck

Cumberland, run into and sunk by the
Confederate ram Merrimae, in Hampton
3 loads, in 1?G1 is now on exhibition in Nor
folk. While Captain Brown was searching
for the f-pot where he supposed, the safe to
be. he stumbled agf.inst what he supposed
to bo a log of wood, but what he was sub
se.ipuchtly horrified to find was the ghastly
remains of a man. hardened and petrified
into stone, standing solid and erect, a lone
.sentinel, watching, as it were, the treasures
of the deep, surrounded by the bones of
his lost comrades who died with him whilst
vainly and nobly battling for the preserva

It was when endeavoring to raise this
itrange object out of its grave of mud he
found the safe.
Kngland is having her panic, now. She
is going through what afflicted us in 1S73
Her merchants and bankers are failing bv
the score, and for enormously large
n mounts. A financial crisis fully as dis
tressing as ours is now dawning upon the
richest nation in the world. It was not
greenbacks that brought it about, nor a re
dundant currencv, nor irredeemable bank
paper. Great Britain enjoys all the advan
tages of a coin currencv, and what little
paper money she has is redeemable in
gold 'upon presentation. To what causes,
then, will her demagogues attribute this
revulsiou : It is nowr clear that panics
overtake people who have an almost ex
clusive metallic currency ; and might not
1)0 that our panic had other causes than
those to which it is generally attributed?
The Republican party, moreover, is not in

An aged gentleman, evidently stagger
ing under a mental complication of Joshua
Lear, and Second Adventism, last Tuesday
made seven trips around Kansas City,
seated upon a milk-white steed, and cloth
ed in raiment which had been dyed in
blood a demonstration intended as a pre
liminary feature of the assumption by a
momentarily-expected king of political
power in Missouri, and which created the
wildest excitement among the small boys
of the town. When the Kansas City church
bells drove their sound-waves through the
grasshoppery air, and his liege came not, it
is telegraphed that the feelings of the dis
honored prophet were marked below cost,
and that he said unto the publican with
whom he fared that his spirit was vexed,
and that he desired to die.
Millionaire Lick, of San Francisco, has
had a great deal of trouble out of his phil
anthropy. As soon as his first and munifi
cent deed was executed, he was beset by a
crowd of poor and hungry relatives, who
clamored for a share of the millionarie's trea
sures. His nephew brought suit against him
for a large amount of money for services al
leged to have been performed. Suits, injunc
tions, and complaints poured in upon him
from every direction, and tho unlucky Lick
was given no rest until he had revoked his
gift and dismissed the trustees. But the
severest afllictiou was reserved for the last,
for now a San Francisco doctor, Gcile by
name, lias brought a little bill of 853,000
for medical services rendered Lick durin
the last twenty years. This is believed to
be the heaviest doctor's bill on record. The
Philanthropist might stand the reproaches
of his relatives and the contumely of the
public, which'branded him as an "Tndn
giver," but a doctor's bill of $53,000 is
enough ta make even a millionaire's blood
run cold.

There are few cities in the country
whose situation, history, and condition show
a more favorable rccored and results than
Milwaukee Wisconsin. It enjoys the
advantage of having the best harbor on the
western shore of Lake Michigan : its
climate is unexcelled, as is shown by its
tables ot mortality, which are lower than
those of any city west of Buffalo, and
around it are some of the finest wheat
growing land of the continent. For many
years it has been the leading point for the
storage of cereals, and is to-day the greatest
wheat depot in the country. Last year its
receipts of grain of all kinds amounted to
31.203.200 bushels : of flour, the equivalent
of 2,380,810 bushels, and of lumber 141,
4G0.000 feet. Its shipments during the
same period were, crrain. 25.755.100 bushels;
flour, 2,252.013 bushels, and lumber, 13G,
455,400 feet. Its manufacturing industries
are also steadilv rrorTessinrr. and. taken

That paper is of opinion that there is a
great desire on the part of manufacturers
to over-estimate their business, both m
product aud sales, and that under what
might be called a healthy trade there is at
least thirty-three per cent, greater capac
ity for making stoves than the country re

Both earth and sea have been shaken
recently by earthquakes. About the mid
dle ot 31 ay several towns in the United
States of Colombia were destroyed by earth
convulsions of a terrific character. Just
previous to that a shock of a similar nature
had been experienced in some portions of
Chili. Last week our Western States were
visited by manifestations of that power
which moves the solid hills and rocks the
earth as in the hollow of the Master's hand.
Nor were these workings of Nature con
fined to the earth. They troubled the sea,
and lashed the waves as if a tempest had
passed over its breast. A vessel which ar
rived tf, New York from Manilla, experi
enced the shock of an earthquake on the
4th of June off the West India Islands,
which lasted fully ten minutes, and was so
violent as to alarm both officers and crew.
The air was filled with a loud rumbling
noise, and several submarine explosions
were heard. The atmosphere was also hot
and stilling during the continuance of the
phenomena. The hardest of these shocks
hate occurred in the neighborhood of the
equator, aud they have extended over a
wide space from cast to west. Nr dnnbt
islands have been pushed above tho writer
of the ocean by upheavals of the character
experienced by the vessel which brought
the late news to New York, while in other
cases a totally dilferent cflect has been pro
duced. Thus the mighty forces of Nature
are constantly producing and 'destroying.
There are region which have almost an

which, itwas probable, would be transported
by rail, and L'.UUO,000 bv water. In view
of the prospect of a large crop, a resolution
was adopted to the effect "that freight
should be largely reduced, new markets
opened, and none but choice fruit shipped."
Carrying a bullet for sixty j-cars. The
Danville, New York, Advertiser tells the
fullowincr : . "On Friday. May 28, Moses
George, of this village, a veteran of the war
of 1812, who has passed his eightieth year,
extracted from his groin a bullet which was
buried there by the rifle of an Indian, at
the battle of Chippewa, on the Sth day of
July, 1S15. The bullet struck the inside
of the right leg near the groin as the soldier
was wheeling into line, aud badly shat
tered the thigh bone. The bullet weighs
a full half ounce and is concave on one
side, showing the impress of the bone which
it struck. It is somewhat blackened, but
beneath a thin coating the lead is as pure
and bright as it was over half a century
ago. The results of the wound made by
the bullet were. very severe. The limb has
shortened six inches or more, and below
the thigh and reaching nearly to the knee
is thickly scarred, where pieces of the shat
tered bone, over fifty in all, have from time
to time to time worked out. The bullet
did not return by its original entrance, but
came to the surface about four inches above,
and was taken out by the veteran himself
without the aid of instruments. He was
overjoyed to get his eyes on the old enemy
who had worried him so long."
Judge A. T. Ackert, of New York, has
made a decision according to justice.
Catherine White, a poor working woman,
purchased a sewing machine, covenanting
to pay seventy dollars for it, in regular in
stallments, or give the machine up. She
paid sixty-five dollars, and, owing to the
sickness of her husband, who finally died,
was unable to pay the balance promptly.
The company accordingly took possession
of the machine by sheriff's process, though
it is said that the she raised the live dollars
at the last moment and offered it to them.
She accordingly sued the company, and
Judge Ackert decides in her favor. The
decision is m ade mostly from a techricality
which operates in her behalf; but neverthe
less, the law should have broad discrimina
tion in all such cases. "The plaintiff," says
Judge Ackert, "bought the machine on
the persuasion of an agent. It was almost
forced upon her on the favorable represen
tations which the canvassing agent knows
so well how to present. The removal of
this machine from the plaintiffs premises
was at the instance and under the direction
of the defendant. He should be held re
sponsible. Agents and companies should
sock some other way to obtain balances dm?
