"When he sold a bill of goods on credit it was his custom to immedi ately Bubscrile for the local paper of his debtor. f$o long as his customers adver tised liberally and vigorously he rested, but as soon as he began to contract his advertising space he took the fact as evidence that there was trouble ahead, and he invariably went for his debt. " For," said he, " the man who is too poor to make his business known is too poor to do business." This withdrawal of an advertisement is an evidence of weakness that business men are not slow j to observe. Senseless Panic in a Church. During funeral services in a Methodist 'Church at Norfolk, recently, Just as the pastor announced his text, a lady in the back part of the church said : " I smell fire," and took her child iind went hurriedly toward the door. An alarm then spread through the church, which became a scene of the wildest consterna tion. The screams of the bewildered women and affrighted children, of mothers calling in an agony of terror for their little ones, and the appeals of " save me I save me!" filled the -church. Those not incumbered rushed for the windows and frantically threw them selves out, regardless of the "height. Singulsis-ly enough, no one was hurt beyond-some slight bruising. ' "Men in the galleries became iparalyzed and in capable of helping themselves, ami had it not been for Robert Shearer, a New York stevedore, who wa in the gallery, many would have been trampled to death on ttie stairs. By physical force 'he kept back the crowd and urged them to be quiet, assuring thorn there was no danger. The Mayor, Police and Fire 'Department arrived in, short time, when, after considerable effort, tran quility was restored. Many ladies fainted, and ihow they .escaped being itrampled to death is a marvel. Saving a Lioness from Choking to Death. Last BaturdayattheZoologteftlGlardens, just after the animals had been fed, the attendants were startled by the choking sounds proceeding from the lion's den, and the nan who .distributed Jie food among tUo animate at once discovered that the lioness had been pat-taking rather ravenously of her meal of raw meat, and iiat a portion of gristie had evidently lodged in her throat. Discovering the painful conditio of the valuable animal, which was in Im minent danger of choking to death, the feeder opened tLe door of the cage, aiid, with a dexterous movement, sprang in side , seizing the lioness by the tail, lioping that by swinging her around the Impediment might le remwed from her throat. The attempt wag fruitless, as the lioness was becoming almost exhausted. Relief could not be delayed many minutes, and this the feeder, well knew ; so baring his arm to the elbow be thrust 4t la the mouth of the lionet and brought forth the piece of gristle, and then as quickly as he had entered the .cage jumped out again, before the queen ot beasts had time to realir.e what was the matter. On Sunday at the Zoological Garden a keeper was patting the Indian bull, but .he animal did not appreciate the ca- resses of his friend, and suddenly turn ing dealt him several severe thrusts with his horns, Injuring the keeper very severely. Philadelphia Star. Counterfeit National Bank Notes. "Washington, Deo. 11. A list of counterfeit national bank notes, arrang ed on a plan perfected by deceiving Tel ler Underwood, of the National Bank Redemption Agency, will soon be Issued. It Is so arranged tnat any one, without being a Judge of money, can readily de tect a counterfeit. An examination of n advance copy reveals the following facts : The counterfeiters have, so far, neglected to pay any attention to the name of the Register on the genuine notes ; all the 20s on the market Mer chants', National Bank of Commerce, Bhoe and Leather, and Tradesmen's Na tional Bank of New York city, bearing the name of L. E. Chittenden as Regis ter, are counterfeit. The genuine notes on these banks all have the name of d. E. Colby ns Register. This is also the case with the 20 on the Oneida National Bank of Utlca, N. Y. All five dollar notes of the following banks bearing the name of 8. B. Colby as Register, are counterfeit: First National Bank of Aurora, Illinois ; Canton, Illinois ; Chi cago, Illinois; rax ton, Illinois, and Northampton, Mass. All the genuine lives on these banks have the name of L. E. Chittendon as Register, with the exception of the first National Bank of l'axton, 111., on which Is printed the name of John Allison as Register. The counterfeit ten on the Muncle National Bank of Indiana has the name of Alii son as Register, and Spinner as Treas urer, while all genuine issues have either the name of Colby and Spinner or Alli son and New. All tens on the First National Bank of Lockport, N. Y., and First National Bank of l'oughkeepsie, N. Y., having the name of S. B. Colby, as Register, are counterfeit. The genu ine notes bear the name of L. E. Chitten den. OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, D. C, Dee. 18, 1877. "We hear much talk now-a-days that benrs ominously upon the subject of war with Mexico. It is stated on good author ity that both the President and Secretary of State look upon such a possibility rather with favor than with reluctance and mis givings, on tbe ground that much good would necessarily result from such an evil. I quote from a leading journal on the sub ject : "To the governing class it would seem a good thing to got up an excitement that would divert attention from the numerous unwelcome issues of home poll tics and give employment to our thou sands of discontented poor. To the political class it would appear a good expedient, now that party fealty is waning, to rally publio outhusiasm around the Adminlttia tion. To the speculative class, including those of the politician sort, it would be a God send to have a return to the era of army contracts, - Qovernment loans and publio extravagauce. . To the Texas Pacific interests it would be the opening of. new prospects of success. To the pioneer ad venturers it would promise tbe realization of their dreams of railroad enterprise, colonization schemes and mining ventures, To the military class it would , be a wel come relaxation from their monotonous idleness. . With the South it would be pop ular as an extension of it territory and the realization of its supposed destiny. While to a more general class it would be at tractive as a stimulant to general trad e, helping the country through the dreary depression that has so long afflicted it." Combining the Influence of all these classes it is easily conceivable that the Adminis tration may be persuaded that enough has been borne from Mexico, and that her con tinuedbad "neighborship" warrants our chastising her and annexing as much of her territory as seems good to us. But Oh, if it be possible,' let us not have to drink again the bitter cup of war. Let us iear yet a little longer with the trouble some people, if so by they will conclude to exercise the better part of valor and behave t'uotjisclves in a more seemly manner. Give ns anything to bear, only save us the dear lives of our brothers, sons, and husbands. Frosty nights have now arrived, .and, al though none but Southerners would doem it really coldthere is a good deal'of shiver ing among the lower classes, who are for the most part poorly clad and poorly housed. The various publio charities are organising -they always are forcibly ro minded that the poor are ever among us. Tbe night-lodging house has just opened for the winter, and its very first night was full. Of course there is nothing J to pay by those who avail themselves of this gen erosity of the Capital publio and the only recommendation required is the applicant's need. Lodgers are furnished with a sup per and b reakfast of bread and hot coffee, a bath and a clean bed. Never a night passed last winter but this place was full. The Labor exchange is also doing ajood work in furnishing eruploytneut to those in need. It baa now twenty or thirty women engaged in making paper bags for the Agricultural Department, besides having furnished work for hundreds of men In the last few weeks. It proposes now to estab- isk a " Penny Restaurant" from which can be furnished a dish of soup, baked beans and other nourishing and hearty meals for from one to live cents each. This will be tbe greatest help of all In the way of assisting the hundreds of poor working people who find It Impossible to make both ends meet with the scant earnings, poor fuel and all. Society is as quiet as it was in the heat of last midsummer, life in the "White House included. I fancy good 'Mrs. Hayes, patrlotio as she is, will tire of the publioity of her life and long for her cosy and com fortable home in Ohio, where every room spoke out the domesticity of its mistress. Tbelr parlor was simply and tastefully fur nished, but had none of that BtlfT, best room look that so many parlors have. The principal ornaments of tbe room were ex cellent portraits of the family, a lifo size statue of General Grant in terra cotta, a photograph of Lincoln and one or two steel engravings. jjkta . Miscellaneous News Items. tW Two firms of Western Yankees are engaged In the business of manufacturing paper bags to hold liquids. t3F A gang of boy burglars, led by a twelve-year-old girl, has been brokon up by the San Francisco police. Toys and pis tols were the chief articles constituting their plunder. t3f Throe colored men threw pepper Into the eyes of W. Evans on the road from Lumbertown to Mount Holly, one recent night, and robbed him of one hundred dollars. tW A Louisville cow saved the Cathe dral from destruction by fire. She gave the alarm by rattling around on an ash barrel, and thus atoned for the mischief ac complished by that Chicago cow. tW" Another prop has been knocked from boyhood's realm of mystery. The Maryland Academy of Sciences has posi tively settled the fact that horse hairs wbeu placed in water do not turn to snakes. t3&" Owing to tho stoppage of manufao toiies at Boonton, five hundred of her residents have left in the last four years. Application will be made to tbe Legisla ture to repeal tbe act incorporating the place. EST" Well-bred Parisians never " treat." In public resorts, cafes, buffets, etc, the French system of every man paying for his own drinks is strictly observed, save in the case of beggars, who are treated some times to a cup of coffee, but never to whiskey. t3T" While returning from Orwigsburg to Mahoney, Schuylkill couuty, William Hchoene, a leading dry goods merchant, on Monday was halted and fired at by two men. Schoene returned the fire and ap plied the whip to his horse aud escaped further interruption. tW At Archibald, nine miles North of Scrauton, the bouse of Daniel Atkinson was broken into Sunday evening during tho absence of tho family at church and robbed of $700 lu bonds and f 200 in currency. The thieves made good their escape, aud despite the most diligent Boarch have thus far evaded capture. tW A gentleman who visited a publio school taught by a young lady in Oswego, the other day, at her request made an ad dress to the scholars, and astouudod them and overwhelmed tbe teacher at the end of his remarks by saying that he was very glad to see them doing so well, and hoped that they would all prize and love their teacher as he loved her. 2T A man in Venango contracted with a doctor to remove some of the bodies of the latter's relatives to a new cemotery and claimed a short time subsequently to have performed the task. It has since been dis covered that tbe bodies have not been dis turbed, but that tho head stones of tbe old graves have beon removed to the cemetery where the bodies were to have been taken. C2T A young man named Jacob Shauk, a school teacher, of near Chambersburg, was bunting on Tbauksgiving day, and as he fired his gun, it blew the breech out, striking him in the forehead, crashing through the skull and imbedding itself in his brain. Medical aid was procured and the breech extracted. Tbe young man is doing well aud hopes are entertained of his recovery. tW A few days ago, while a Morris county, New Jersey ludy was engaged in preparing some cabbage for dinner, she came across a spotted snako, nicely curled up under the leaves, where he bad taken up winters quarters. On being disturbed, he at once asserted his rights, by showing his forked tongue. , It is needless to say that he was soon compelled to surrender and submit to the fate pronouueed on . his kind in Scripture. It cannot always with safety be as sumed that rich people who ask for credit are those who pay most promptly. The experience of busiuess men hav long since exploded this idea. Tbe fact is, tbat In a great many cases the most undesirable buyers on trust are rich people They presume upon their wealth and regard a demand for payment as an Imputation upou their honor. All that can be said of suoh people Is, that they are dishonest, for cer tainly it cannot be regarded as honesty to buy goods from any person and refuse or neglect to pay promptly for them when you have the ability. .- . Stop that Cough, or it will terminate in that dreadful disease, consumption. We are aware that a prejudice exists among many persons against medicines which profess to cure a cough or cold when bordering ou consumption, or even when the lungs are affected, but we can assure our read ers that Wlstar's Balsam of Wild Cherry will do all this and In making this assertion we speak from experience, having suffered for months from a cough, which after using many remedies without any relief, threatened to ter minate seriously. We were, however, so fortu nate as to secure several bottles of Wlstar's Balsam of Wild Cherry, and are now entirely rid of the cough, and restored to our former health. To those suffering In a like manner we recommend this excellent preparation. John O. Westafer, editor of the Chronicle, Ellzabethtown, Fa., March 4, 1874. 50 cents aud ft a bottle.
