To support the liquor traffic, It Is comput ed, from authentic, souees, that the peo ple of the United Htates expend annually six hundred mlllons of dollars, and waste untold wealth besides by the im poverishment of her citizens and the de struction of their health. An announcement of interest to archie ologlnts Is made by a California paper, which says: "The shrinkage of the water In Tulare lake lias uncovered a pre-hlstoric settle ment; stone buildings, traces of canals once bordered with planted trees and other evidences of former occupation by an unknown race being clearly detined as the water subsides."

J. D. CAMERON, Chairman. Thomas B. Keogh, Secretary." Remarkable Case of Rev. Ormond. A dispatch from Pittsburg says Rev. Marcus Ormond, of Burgettstown, Washington, county, was in the city on Tuesday. He will be remembered as the clergyman who recently arose from a sick bed to discover that he had for gotten his fine English and classical ed ucation, even to the rudiments, being unable to read or write, or name a single letter of the alphabet. His physical health is excellent, but his mental troub le not relieved. He has been compelled to commence again where he began as a child, and Is now able to read a little. Notwithstanding his inability to recall his education, his memory of events is perfect, excepting the two months of his sickness, which are a perfect blank. His case is a remarkable one, there be ing but about six other similar cases on record. A War Against Liquor Dealers. A dispatch from Troy, N. Y., says: The liquor dealers pf this city were thrown Into consternation yesterday by the recording of 190 judgments against them, amounting in all to $20,000. More judgments will follow next week. Wm. II. Mundy, of New York, procured the judgments. About half of the amount recovered will go to the poor fund and the remainder to Mundy. A few dealers will settle, but most of them are unable or -unwilling to do so. Mundy says they will be committed on execution, and cannot be released or bailed until they settle. The jail will not hold one fourth of the 'persons against whom judgments have been or will be obta'lned. A Joke With a Sad Sequel. . Chicago, Dec. 27. John M. Waite and M. B. Gould, both prominent and respected business men, thinking to play a practical joke on the colored janitor this afternoon, disarranged the contents of Mr. Walte's room, and then concealing themselves In a closet waited until the janitor appeared. The latter becoming excited at the condition of the room, procured a revolver, and hearing a noise in the closet, tried to pull the door open. Falling in that, he fired through the door. The shot passed through Mr. Gould's head, and he died shortly after. A coroner's .Jury to night rendered a verdict justifying the Janitor, and he was discharged from custody. , , - More Swindlers Come to Grief. A New York dispatch says: The ..postmaster general to-day Issued an or der directing the postmaster at New York city to refuse payment of post , money orders or delivery of registered (letters addressed to bogus "bankers and brokers," firm names of Lawrence A Co.. purporting to do business on the .StQk Combination System," at 19 Broad street; Adnms, Brown A Co., at 28 Broad street; Allen, Jordan A Co., at 64 Wall street, and Barnes, Garrison ACo., atNs. 53 Exchange place and 11 Broad street, and elsewhere In New York city. Several of the above parties have attempted to advertise In our col umns,, but we have declined, and warned our readers against them on sev eral occasions. A Difference In Ducks. A good story Is told of Bev. Myron W. Beed. While out with a hunting party several years ago his comrades insisted that he should cook the dinner, and left him In his camp for that purpose, some what against his wish. A large hawk alighted In the top of a tree hard by, and a moment afterward the sportsman's gun had brought him to the ground. He was ancient and tough and suited ad mirably the compulsory cook's purposes. He was put into a pot with a couple of fine ducks. The dinner was served and pronounced excellent, with the single qualification that there seemed to be a "deuced big diflerence in those ducks." But the innocent looking cook held his peace and made his own selections, and ducks and hawk soon disappeared from the table. "Did you tell them about it?" asked he who heard the story. "Tell them 1" answered the reverend gentle man, with an emphatic shrug, "they'd have drowned me." A Cool Lunatic. The Indianapolis " News" says : On a Peru train coming Into the city last week was an officer of Howard county, having In charge a subject for the in sane hospital. Just this side of Malott Park the Insane man was missed, and the officer excitedly pulled the bell cord and jumped ofFln search of the supposed fugitive. After the train was started again the demented man was found composedly seated in a forward coach, and the incident aflorded him unbound ed amusement. He appealed to the pas sengers to decide which one should be sent to the hospital, and by a unanimous vote they Bald the officer was the fitter subject. The Insane man arrived in the depot safety, and thence telegraphed the officer to come out and conduct him to the hospital. Severe Cold. A Dakota man was moving his fami ly Into a new house, and left his stove for the last trip. Within a hundred steps of the house his wife was taken ill. Leaving the two youngest children in a dry goods box on the hand-slelgh, he helped her and two older children into the house, where, in order to prevent their freezing, they were all put to bed. He then returned for the two children, and was frozen to death before he reach ed them. The wife lay in bed until the next day without Are or food. The fath er lay dead near the corpses of his two boys in the box, but, although the chil dren In bed with their mother were fro zen nearly to death, it is believed that they w 111 recover. A Strange Death. A singular case of death by strangula tion occurred on a farm ten miles north of Mendota, III., the other day. A young man named Abies was standing in front of ahorse while the animal was feeding. The horse coughed and ejected a kernel of corn, which flew into Abies windpipe. He ran into the house, and, by signs en deavored to make the family understand what bad happened. A messenger on horseback was immediately despatched for a physician, but long before he arriv ed young Abies was a corpse. A Mad Bridegroom. The Raleigh "Observer" tells of a wedding among the colored folks and the throwing of the Blipper as the newly married couple moved oir in a wagon. One guest threw a large shoe with too unerring aim. The great mlssle flew threw the air, and, striking the bride's skull, knocked her senseless in the bottom of the wagon. The groom Jumped out and gave the thrower of the shoe a thrashing, cursing civilized cus toms with all bis heart. A Murder In Lancaster. Lancaster, January 1. It now de veloped that young Urolf, who suddenly met his death here last Friday night, was cowardly murdered.

She was employed as a domestic In the family of Dr. O. T. Huebner. A dead Infant was found in the cesspool and the young wo man was charged with the crime. The coroner was notified. No denial of the charge has been made. (y A pretty Amerloar lrl In Rome went frequently into streets unat tended, contrary to custom thete. The young Romans followed and annoyed her, until she Invented a novel method of rebuffing them. She provided her self with a pocketful of centeslml, each the value of a fifth of a cent, and when ever a man spoke to her, pretending to utterly mistake his words, she graceful ly extended her hand and dropped this fifth of a cent In his hand, saying, In her broken Italian, (1llungry, are you, poor man V Well, take this and buy some bread." Sir Several years ago Paris waselectrl fied.by photographs of the most respected characters in ludicrous positions and in company with unrespectables. The po lice Investigated, and found that some of the photographers and dealers were accustomed to buy photographs of re spectable persons, remove the heads, and stick them on the bodies of persons who had been photographed in fanciful cos tumes and attitudes. The models thus obtained, being rephotograhed, some times aflorded pictures so well done as to make It Impossible for any one to divine that the persons represented lu them had not been willing sitters. A Knowing Dog. On Monday last while one bf our citizens was traveling in the direction of the red bridge, over the Conodoeniuit, north of town, his attentiou was attracted by the cries of a dog. On approaching the bridge he discovered a large black dog in the cen tre of tbe creek. It appears the dog at tempted to cross the creek on the ice, and arriving about half-way the ice broke, leaving the dog in a bad fix. Different plaus were suggested for tbe rescue of tbe dog, but without effect. At last a rope was left Sown from tbe bridge above, with a noose in one end, which was inteuded to go a round the dog's neck. Instead of tbe loop going Around his neck, be seized the rope with bis teeth, and held on until be was pulled to the bridge, a distance of teu feet. The dog was so weak when he landed on the bridge that he could not walk for some time after. Carlisle Mirror, MiHcellancous News Items. RocnESTEn, N. Y. January 1.
