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 :

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.
