A TSetv York wholesale grocer who
has become rich in his business, lately
gave one of his fundamental rules of
action. "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 .

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

further interruption.
tW At Archibald, nine miles North of
Scrauton, the bouse of Daniel Atkinson

absence of tho family at church and robbed

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

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.
