HEIRS WANTED. Another estate is waiting in England for heirs to turn up iu this or some other country. Heirs next of kin, are wanted of Ellen (or Helen) Blake, sup posed daughter of Sarah and Richard Sheridan, who married Gen. Blake in Glasgow, in 1819, and died in Eng land in 1876. It appears in the history of these families that Ellen was sup posed to be the daughter of Sarah Cas sidy and Richard Sheridan, a ship ping merchant in Dublin, who was married about 1785, and had several children. Ellen was married in 1803 to James Walsh. He died in 1310, and Ellen continued the stationery busi ness until 1814, when she sold out. Soon afterward she went with her maidservant to Glasgow. In 1819 Gen. Robert D. Blake of the English army, a son of Sir Francis Blake of Irish Castle,, fell in love with the widow, and she was married to him. Gen. Blake's family were opposed to his marriage. He was the possessor of large estates and the money incomes thereof, and when he made his last will and testament, in 1851, he be queathed all his estate, real and per sonal, to bis wife. She died intestate in September, 1876, leaving a large es tate in Norfolk, England, worth, it is estimated, more than $1,000,000, and as no relatives or next of kin came for ward to claim the estate, the Solicitor of the Treasury took out letters of ad ministration for the Crown on the es tate, and it is now waiting for the proper heirs, the nearest relatives of Ellen Sheridan-Blake, as under the will of Gen. Blake his relatives have no claim. Solicitors in England and Scotland have sent the case to John P. Jayne, the old claim lawyer, on Murray stfeet, but he has not been able yet £o find the rightful heirs to this estate. "This is no humbug," he said. *'The money is there and can now be recovered on the proper evidence before the court in London, and I think that the Sheridan families in this country have not taken the interest they should have done in a case of such importance to them as this one in examining the records of their families and sending them to me." HAMMER SIGNALS. When the blacksmith gives the anvil quick light blows, it is a signal to the helper to use the sledge, or to strike quicker. The force of the blow g'ven by the blacksmith's hammer indicates the force of the blow it is required to give the sledge. The blacksmith's helper is supposed to strike the work in the middle of the width of the anvil, and when this re quires to be varied the blacksmith in dicates where the sledge blows are to fell by touching the required spot with his hand hammer. If the sledge is required to have lat eral motion while descending, the blacksmith indicates the same to the helper by delivering hand hammer blows in which the h and hammer moves fft the direction required for the sledge to move. If the blacksmith delivers a heavy blow upon the work and an intermedi ate lignt blow on the anvil, it denotes that heavy sledge blows are required. If there are two or more helpers, the blacksmith strikes a blow between each helper's sledge hammer blow, the object being to merely denote where the sledge blows are to fall. When the blacksmith desires the sledge blows to cease, be lets the hand hammer head fall upon the anvil and continues its repound upon the same until it ceases. Thns the movements of the hand hammer constitute signals to the helper and what appear desultory blows to the common observer, constitute the method of communication between the blacksmith and his helper. —Men are geese, women are ducks, and birds of a feather flock together. Maad (an aristocratic child): — "How pretty and clever you are, mother 1 I'm so glad you married in to our family." "Inn trouble," as the barkeeper shouted when the roughs kicked up a row in the bar-room. A Cincinnati man calls his visiting mother-in-law Resumption, because she has come to stay. "Does your wife play euchre ?" asked one. "No," replied the other, rubbing his head, "but she's death on poker." Why should a postal card be spoken of as the feminine gender ? Because it can't keep a secret. "Please to understand," said the Honorable Billy the other day. "I'm not such a fool as I look." "No," said Bob, "tbatwhould be too much." A clergyman who has a habit of adding "ah" to many of his words, told of "those who had been brought up on the Lord's side-ah" "It is odd, and sometimes melan choly," remarks an exchange, to see a man trying to 'make up his mind' when he has no material on hand to work with. The expression "Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown" is absurd, because no sensible king ever goes to bed with a crown on. He always hangs it on the back of a chair with bis vest. An imaginative Irishman gives ut terance to this lamentation; "I re turned to the halls of my fathers by night, and I found them ruins! I cried aloud : 'My fathers, where are they ?" and an echo responded; 'ls that you, Patrick McClathery ?'" The New York Tribune says oleo margarine is pronounced eleomargra/i --roon, with the g hard. Nearly all the papers we have seen pronounce oleo margarine a fraud. And perhaps that is the best way, as it requires fewer letters, and is much more easily pro nounced. A capital anecdote is told of a little fellow who in turning over the leaves of a scrap book came across the well known picture of some chickens just out of their shell. "My companion examined the picture carefully and then with a grave, sagacious look at me slowly remarked : 'They came out 'cos they was afraid of being boiled.' " She had a pretty diploma tied with pink ribbon, from one of our best young ladies' colleges.

Socrates nodded assent "Now," continued Plato, "if melons were very scarce and descendants of Ham were numerous in the vicinity, how would you keep your melons cool and secure ?" "I'd put them," replied Soctates, "in a chilled iron safe." WAS IT WIND OR LIOHTNINO ?—A suit has been brought in the Circuit Court at Madison, Wisconsin, to col lect from an insurance company for damages done by the great storm of 1878. The property was insured against lightning, and the company resist pay ment on the ground that it was des troyed by wind. The plaintiff hopes to prove by the evidence of members of the Signal Corps that the whirlwind which destroyed his house was of elec trical origin." A vast amount of insur ance is likely to be affected by the de cision of this case, owing to the heavy losses of property during the recent whirlwinds. BATTLE BETWEEN A PHEASANT AND A SNAKE. —A few days since Colin Mi nor, of Waynesburg, Pa., while in the woods hunting, seated himself on a log to rest, when his attention was attract ed by the sound of what he thought to be chickens fighting On approaching the spot where the contest was going on he discovered a hen pheasant bat tling with a black snake. She t-eemed to be greatly excited and would make vigorous attacks upon the snake, pick ing and striking it with her wings. His snakeship was coiled, and did not seem to offer much resistance, simply warding off the blows by striking at the pheasant and guarding its body from her attacks. After witnessing the scene for some time, Mr. M. shot the snake, when upon examination he found that jt had one of the pheasant's eggs in its mouth. The snake meas ured about eight feet in length.

If it is taken in ' time it is as easily cured as a wart or a corn.

Smith Middlings Purifier, bought at Jackson, Mich., together with Bolting Cloths, Reals, Conveyers, Ac., suitable for the Machinery, cannot be Excelled in the United States or elsewhere. This may seem an exaggeration to some, but we wish the pub lic to know that we are able to perform all that we publish, as we have given our machinery a thorough test in the presence of several good Millers aud Millwrights, and it has proven even better than it was guaranteed to do. We are also remodeling our Mill for Grinding Other Kinds of ©rain, which will be entirely satisfactory to our customers.
