Rumors of a second Tilton-Beecher case reached us to-day, from one of the towns in this county. If there is any foundation in the rnmor, the legal fraternity will soon have a red 1 lot job on their hands. Mrs. C. C.

Services are now held iu the Congregational church, in the morning at 9 o'clock, and in tlie even ing at 7:45. The meeting last evening was well attended, and the exercises interesting. We believe good is ef ftvted ateveiy meeting although there Kerns to be a falling oil" of christian worker. There are, however, a few faithful ones, .that are always ready and willing to follow the scriptural in junction, "work while it is day." As long as good grows out of these meet ings we hope they will be kept up. Mr. Hammond at Salem. From tlie Salem Statesman we learn that the meetings there, nnder tlie charge of. Mr. Hammond, are growing in interest. "The peculiarities ot Mr. Hammond," says that paper, "are less noticed than at first, and many of ojr best people are taking an interest in thee efforts. Whatever may be said by the fault finding or indifferent, if people's lives can be made purer and better . by such movements, if quarrels between neigh bors can be settled, and men and wo men can be made contented with tlieir lot and patient in the trials of life, every friend of Society should be willing to let such work go on, cveu if he does 'not lake an active part in it," - If good is effected and there can be no donbt ot that fact by Mr. Hammond's ministra tions, it cannot matter as to his style or manner; let all who are sincere iu their desire to do good and ; advance tlie cause of religion, lose sight of Mr. Ham mond and devote themselves to vthe work, that Christ's Kingdom may be exalted.

He informs us that the blackberry crop is not near as heavy as last eeason; that there is scarcely trout enough in Fih Lake -4o affoid common amusement, aud that game is not as abundant as formerly. Tliere are quite a number of pleasure seeker up there. New Lake. A new lake has been discovered just beyond Lower Soda, about eight miles from the spring, ns we are informed by Prof. Stites, called Moose lake. It is a sheet of water about one mile long and half a mile wide, and is chock full of trout. A party of Harrisburgiaus went ovei there tlie other day, and two of them caught fifty-six trout in ten minutes so they reported which is successful fishing. A liarvester that cuts and binds wlieat as it goes was at work at James Elkin's farm just south of this- city to day. Tltal's the kind of a machine "for us. Xow if the machine could be per fected so as to thresh, , grind and de liver tlie crop, iu the shape of flour in sacks, each sack neatly sewed up ready for shipping, farming would be about as easy as "nothing," if not more so.

Prof.- SCites didn't lose his "good clothes," after alL He had taken them up stairs, thrown them on to a1 bedstead and placed some carpet over them, and1 left things in such a massed up condition that the thieves must have taken tbe whole lot to be valueless, and passed them by without examination. This kind of strategy is rough on the thieves, but it enables the Professor to come forth dressed in gorgeous array, after wandering in the mountains two weeks dressed in overalls and a red flan nel rag around his head.

A pair o' tights two drunkards.. Dr. Golden came up yesterday. From the Seattle Tribune we learn that a man named Heims. who kept a beer saloon at Port Townseud, shot himself in the right breast last week.

COAlOIE. JTOBHMV.- The country Is familiar' with the- petro leum bubble of years ago; how men rose In' the morning beggars, and retired7 alt night millionaires; how nabobs' became mendi cants in the breath- of a wliith One ot- the heroes of those notable days is Johnny Steele, or 'Coal-oll Johnny." as he Is now familiarly called. His history is known to all newspaper readers, aud they will re member how lie went to bed one night a laborer at $20 a month, aud awoke in the morning tlie heir ot the richest oil well in Venango county. He didn't know what to do with the money which flowed from liis well. He it was who purchased a hotel in Philadelphia at extravagant figures, and gave it away the next day; who would buy up a dance bouse at a big price lor tlie privilege of "running it" one night; who would purchase a fancy team, use it once, and give it away; who bought a minstrel troupe, and lan it a whole season for' the luu of it; who never refused to lend money, nor asked its return. He stepped from penury, through one million aud a-half of dollar?, back to pen ury again, in sixteen short months. Ihen he came West; and now he is at work with a gang of bridge builders in Shelby county, down on the liock Island road, at a salary ot one hundred and seventy-five cents a day. He is just as happy and contented with his frugal fare and lowly lot as when he backed hi the smi!e3 ot Fortune's favors. His wife clings to him iu adversity with true-hearted love, and accepts the situation with all the grace which characterizes a noble woman. She joined his fortunes when sunshine gilded his path; she now seeks to make his pathway bright beneath the shadows of adversity. Tlieir home is at Duulap. Johnny says many ot tlie stories of his wasteful extravagance are false. His reverses came from loans made to friend.-:, who failed to lepay them. A broken bank carried down $.20,000 at one swoop, and another bank took $40,000. Out of the wreck of the latter he hoped to get enough te get his good wife a beautiful dress aud a nice new house. Desmoines Cor. Chidago Tribune. The Mosquitoes of Aktic Land. In a work recently published iu Loudon, The Land nfthe Xurth Wind, or Travel among the Laplander and tlie Sqmoyede, the author, Edward Roe, gives the following account of the Artie mosquitoes, which almost makes us content witli our own: 'The one bitter drop in our cup of joy was tlie mon strous but inseparable curse of Artie sum mer life the mosquito. He abounded, flourished, luxuriated, surpassed himself, out-mo?quitoed himself, ou the Kuloi river. We were at liis mercy; our veils, gauntlets, haiidkercheifs, flappers, all were a vanity and vexation. To kill was wanton, for to destroy sufficient was impossible. We had foreseen all this, an-1 even thought of taking, among other thing, a woodpecker from home to protect one faces while we slept; but one woodpecker would have been a solemn mockery; we slionld have waiued a lresh woodpecker every five, minutes. I suppose these were the histori cal flies sent to piinl-h the disobedient, ob stinate Egyptians: tliey came forth in order, and after three grievous plagues tlie cor ruption of the waters, the multitudes of frogs and tlie swarms of lice had entirely failed. We are becoming connoisseurs In mosquitoes; we watch them traverse our veils like figures ou slides in a magic lantern. There is tlie yeHow striped vam pire mosquito, with a triple fang to his proboscis, there is tlie brown, hunchback or camel mosquito, with legs of gossamer, who appear to our vindictive eyes to be from two to three inches in length; finally, there is the scorpion mosquito, very search ing and business like. We dislike him greatly, for he wa-tes no time. We know now that kvitlier is a hollow delusion, and ariiior-ptuted gauntlets are alone of avail." ISOW HE WON HER. j A young couple were occupying a rustic seat in Union Park one evening recently and, from the expression ot the masculine representative's face, it was evident that ho was "a goner" tl rifted, as It were, over the great psychological Niagara of affection.' ami was even then being dizzily whirled about in the frothy whirlpool of sentiment. The swimming swans had no charm tor him; the eagles were as nothing; and he did not even notice tlie big white bear. "Oh. do be mine?"he said, attempting to draw her a little nearer his end of the seat. She made herself rigid and heaved a sigh. "I'll be a good mail aad give up all my bad habits, "he urged. No reply. ' - I M'JI never drink another drop," he con tinued. ' Still unrelenting sat the object of his adoration. ; "And give up chewing " TSo response.- ' ! "And smoking " Cold as ever. "And join tlie church" j She only shook her head. "And give you a diamond engagement ring," he added iu desperation. Then the maiden lifted her drooping eyes to his, and, leaning her frizzes on his shoul der, tremblingly murmured into his ravish ed ear: - Oh, Ed .rard, you you are so good!" And there tliey sat and sat, until the soft arms of night that dusky nurse of the world had folded them from sight, pon dering, planning, thinking she ot tlte dia mond ring, and he bow on earth he was to get it. j Tlie Masonic fraternity of Jacksonville Iiavc let tlie contract for tbe brick work of their proposed building to O. W. Holt. A large quantity of brick has already been hauled to tlie scene of operations, and Mr. Hole and his assistants are now busily at work.
