Tub late unpleasantness In Maine, cost the State about f 22,000. This Is In addition to the loss caused by the ex cltemeut In stagnating business. -- The Independent voter was arouDd In great numbers In all parts of the State at last Tuesday's election. In many places Independent candidates were elected. Tub Ohio Rivun made a remarkable rise last week. During Sunday, Mon day and Tuesday, the rise at Cincinnati was forty-flve feet. Much damage was done by the water. A train on the lielalr & S. W. road, jumped the track and rolled down an embankment fifty feet high on Friday last. Quite a number of persons were Injured, but none killed. Tub board of poor directors of Berks county at a meeting recently, passed a resolution forbidding the use of smok ing tobacco In any form by the Inmates of the poor house. This action was tak en because several fires took place at the hospital in the last two years, the ori gin of which was traced to sparks fall ing from pipes. The action of the Berks poor directors is worthy of Imitation throughout the state. An important verdict was rendered In a New York court the other day where in Mrs. Stratton was plaintiff and Jacob Krcb, a Brooklyn liquor dealer, and John Dapple, owner of the building, were defendants. The action was brought to recover $5,000 damages for supplying plaintiff's husband with liquor, so that he became an habitual drunkard. The Jury returned a verdict for $500. Actions brought In this State, under like circum stances, would result in similar verdicts. That making a husband a drunkard or incapicltating him from caring for his family through the use of intoxicating liquors are great offences, and the right to recover damages therefore Is nothing more than Justice, as well as good com mon sense. The High Price of Paper. New Orleans, Feb. 19. Owing to remarkable increase In the price of print ing paper, the proprietors of the news papers in New Orleans assembled at the office of The Picayune this evening, when the following resolution was adopted ; Jicsolved, That the representatives of Louisiana In Congress be and they are hereby earnestly requested to use their influence to have the duty on printing paper, chemicals and material used in the manufacture thereof, removed or materially reduced. The Delays of Congress. A Washington dispatch says : The delay of Congress in both houses in grap pling with the public business pressing on its attention occasions much un pleasant criticism. Every day the HouBe has a wrangle over the rules concocted at Long Branch last summer. The truth is cropping out that it has been the costliest revision of rules ever had by any parliamentary body. For over two months the House has done little else than debate the new rules, while the Senate says it is waiting for the House and takes a regular half-week holiday. So we go, with the prospect of a dog-day session in plain sight. There are matters of legislation earnestly de manding attention from Congress which will now have to go over unless the term Is to be protracted till September. Land-Owners in' Ireland. Ireland is owned by a handful of rich men. They let the land to some 600,000 tenants. According to official statistics there are 1529 tenants in Ireland who have more than 600 acres each ; 287,516 have 15 acres or less. In 1870, the gov ernment reported 2,073 absentee land holders in Ireland who owned Just one fourth of the island, rated at an annual rental of $12,354,080. Following, are some of the absentee landlords with the acreage : . NO. OF NAME. ACRES. ANNUAL RENT. $370,000 115,000 105,000 70,000 70,000 60,010 185,000 Sir Richard Wallace, 61,000 Marquis of Ely; 48,000 Lord Dillon, 89,000 Earl of Devon, 33,000 LordDigby, 30,000 EarlofArran, 30,000 Earl of Pembroke, 2,000 It is said that these landlords rarely get more than 3 per cent, on their estates. In the 90 years preceedlng 1870, rent In Ireland has only doubled, while In Scotland and England, it has increas ed three and six fold. All Truth. There Is not the least doubt but what It Is for the good of every man, woman and child to patronize home trade. The Interests of the town demand this. Every dollar that Is spent away from home Is one dollar taken from the wealth of the place. We are virtually one dollar poor er. By doing our purchasing at home we aid and assist each other. It Is "you help me and I will help you." We are as well pleased, If, when we have any thing to dispose of, some person offers to give us something In return, which Is just what we want. Here lies the prin ciple of home trade. Tay your dollar to a city dealer and what do you get In re turn V A dollars worth of goods you may say. All fair and good, of course. You have your goods and he has his dol lar ; but the general good of tho people of which you are one is not enhanced by that trade Itockville Leader. A Strange School Scene. A somewhat dramatic Incident occurred at a country school-house near Seaford, Delaware, a few days since. The older pupils were required by the teacher, a certain Samuel Itoop, to write composi tions, A young Miss of 10 refused to go through with this part of the school ex ercises. The teacher notified her that on the following Monday she would be re quired to write a composition. The girl had a couple of big brothers, and when they heard of this peremptory order, they concluded to attend school them selves that day, and if the teacher at tempted to enforce It, to give him a thrashing. The teacher was advised of this threat and put a revolver in his pocket before he started for the school house on Monday morning. The big brothers were In attendance. When the hour came for writing compositions, the teacher laid his revolver on the desk,and told the refractory girl to proceed with her task. The big brothers kept their seats In mute astonishment while their sister wrote a composition. A meeting of the School Commissioners was call ed, and they sustained Mr. Itoop In his method of enforclug discipline. An Important Omission. Dr. Calvin Bunch, of the Northern Indiana prison hospital at Michigan City, Iud., claims to have Invented another one of the numerous alleged lights that will beat Edison. Ho sayB; " I use a bottle with a common cork, through which passes a hollow tube four inches long, which contains the wick. I fill my bottle with nothing but water. After saturating the wick in a chemical solution, I put It in the bottle of water and light it, when it will afford a beautiful, bright yellow flame, superior to coal oil, at a cost of not more than one or two cents a year. No repetition of the chemical solution after the wick has once been saturated is necessary; only fill the bottle occasionally with water in order to keep the wick moist and softened. No trouble of snufflug or trimming the wick. It Is perfectly harmless ; no danger whatever of explo sion." But he does not tell us what the solution is, and this is an important omission. Killed by Burglars. A cold-blooded murder was committed atj Sandwich, 111., Monday morning. Two burglars having entered the house of Hiram P. Allen, a respectable citizen were surprised by his sitting up In bed and addressing one of them. The burg lar Immediately opened fire on him, hit ting him four times. One of the shots would have proved fatal, if no others had been fired. He died instantly. His wife had taken refuge in a closet and some conversation between the burglars which, with another clue they left be hind, may lead to their arrest.1 They secured only a trifle In the way of plun der. One Drop too Much. New Orleans, Feb., 18. During the session of the House yesterday, speaker Ogden's pistol fell from his pocket, caus ing it to discharge. To-day District At torney Finney, filed an Information against Ogden, charging him with car rying concealed weapons. Much Married. Jacob Lang was arrested in Allegheny on a charge of wife desertion, and when the hearing was held on Saturday three other wives appeared to claim him. An investigation developed that Jacob had six wives in the land of the living.
