A Desperate loliiili I.over. Low Prices ! ! New York, April 5—A little excitement was caused at the snb-Treasury this morning by the recovery of a new and dan- Keruuacouutetti.it $10 silver certificate, rais J from a United States $1 silver certifies.i«. The work was pronounced exceedingly clever, and was ovident'y dono by expert counterfeiters.' It is tho first one of the kind that has made its appearaneoaud it. w studied. The bill came to the Mechanics' K.ttioual Batik in a desposit sent from Canada, but its fraudulent character was there discovered. It was sent over to t'l < sub Treasury as information that such a bill was iu circulation. Mr Geeorge Mallow, chief of the reoelving department, said as he looked at the note this morning: "Well, that's the first one of the kind I over saw or hoard of, and it's certainly a good piece of work on its face, anil calculated to impose upon people who are unaccustomed to handling much uiouey. Country people would be very apt to get caught with it. Of course it could not pass with people well used to money, for they could see at a glance that it was ditlerent from the ordinary $10 silver certificates. The viguette of Martha Washington alone wonld be enough to warn any ono of its spuriousuoss, for that only appears en the $1 certificates. The bill was evidently altered in Cauada, for beside coming from there, it has the word, "ten" printed aorossthe face in green ink, such as is used on Canada money, bnt not on United States money. It is, in all probability, tho work of the same gang of counterfeiters that are now engaged iu counterfeiting Canada bills, and raising United States notesfrom |5 to$10, and who have been committing their depredations along tho borders for some time." A StrmiKo Character. Smith turned ami ran about 100 yards from the house, when ho stopped, put the revolver to his own head and sent a bullet crashing through it. Death was instantaneous. Smith was about 11) years of age and Miss Lepage is 20. The only known motive for the double crime is jealousy. ISellaike, O., April 4.—At Chandlersville last night a tragedy occuircd in which a young man's life was lost and ajoung woman barely escaped death. Edward Smith had for some time been paying attention to Miss Maggie Lepage. Re pressed his suit devotedly and proposed marriage to the young woman, who is a very pretty blonde and has a host of admirers. Last evening Smith called at Miss Lepage's home. The lady met hiui at the door and remarked at his serious appearance. Once in the hallway she kissed him and then showed him into the parlor. Just as they entered the room, however, he noticed another youug rnau upon the sofa. Without addressing him, Smith turned into the hallway again with the remark : "Maggie, I want to see you at the door a minute." AVith this Smith presented a revolver to her face and fired. The ball entered the girl's cheek and glanced oft", and she fell fainting to the lloor,seriously,but not fatally, hurt. At Mum. NORTH & MORRIS, IheOne Price Clothiers Pa.

Beaver, April 4.—The Poor Hoard lias been naked to take charge of an old man Darned Bartholomew, who lias no friends or relatives, and who is very sick and 78 years of age. Bartholomew has lived a strange life, and there is uo one who appears to know rnnoh about him. For some years past he has lived in an old house in Brighton township, directly opposite the .county home, and has been doiug his own housework, lie seemed to care nothing for company, and did not associate with anyone. That he must have had gome money is evident from the fact that he did very little work. Yesterday he went to the Poor House, and In a disconnected way, on account of his woakened condition, told Steward Ewing a story about masked men breaking into his honse the night before and stealing $150 in gold which he had laid away in a cupboard. Inquiry among the neighbors to day brought out the fact that several suspicions-looking men were seen in the vicinity on Monday, and by sotno the old man's story is believed, while others claim that he did not have that much money about the place. lie is now at the Homo, and his extreme age renders his reoovery'doubtful.

Lima, O., Aftril 4.—The excitement here over the killing by negroesof two Irishmen at the spring election, continues unabated. The mob that broke upon the jail Tuesday night, when searching lor the murderers, Guinn and Harrison, are determined to hang the sooundrels if they can get their hands on them. It is thought the police have arrested the negroes and are hiding them until the exoicement dies out. The Mayor of the town, Win. McComb, has ordered all saloons to be closed for the balance of this week. A mass meeting was held yesterday, attended by more than 5,000 Irishmen, and at that meeting resolutions were passed of a highly inflammatory nature, and it was determined to compel the police to givo up the prisoners, if they have the men. Shouldthoy refuse, more trouble is looked for. Moses Horglund, the Sheriff* of Allen couuty, says if the mob breaks out again he will call on Governor Foraker to quell the rioters. If an outbreak occurs it is feared thero will be severe loss of life anil property. ryR. 8. C. ALLISON, PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON, PtJHXSCTAWNBY, PA.

She ran out of the house and met a neighbor named Jenna. Dodge went into the yard and coaxed them both to oome in; he then locked the doors and put down the curtains and began talking religion. Meantime word had born sent to the police station and three policemen arrived. They tried every ruse to have Dodge open the door, but be refused and as he had the keys in his pocket his wife and Jenna were powerless. On his table was a doable barreled shot-gnu loaded and cocked with cartridges and ammunition lying around and in his pocket a hnge knife. Matters remained in this shape until last night when the polioe broke in a window and entered. Dodge ran into another room and railed his revolver to kill his wife, she grasped his wrist and turned it as he fired and the ballet entered his own brain. Dodge had been brooding over religions matters for some time. Lock Haven, Pa., April 4.—Luther Sliufer wus executed here to-day for tho doubio murder of Isaiah and No rah Colby at Cherry Run Clinton county, last Anguat. On tho scaffold Shafer stepped to the front aud said: "Good-by, gentlemen, I am going now; I hope to meet you all in heaven." After kissing the priests aud tho Sheriff he bade theui good-by and the noose was adjusted. Ten minutes after the drop foil tho pulse was hardly preoeptibls, and at eighteen minutes after it ceased to beat. A statement made by Shafer recently under oath to W. H.Clough attorney for Johnson, is published, in which Shafer admits the orimo and exonerates Johu W. Johuson, accused of participation in the crime. Johnson's attorney s sent the statement to the Governor asking for a respite in order to have Shafer testify for Johnscn, but Executive clemency was refused. Johnson was brought to trial and convicted of murder in the first degree. A new trial has been asked far in his case, but as yet has neither been granted nor refused. Shafer was but little past 22 years of ago when the crime wa« committed, and was of respectable parentage, his father being a prosperous tlonr and. feed dealer in the city of Lock Haven.

The first attempt at an ascension was a failure, but the second effort was a success and the air-ship soon reached a heiybt estimated at nearly 10,000 feet.

Philadelphia, Pa., April 4.—Benjamin Harris Brewster, Attorney-General of the United States uuring President Arthur's Administration, and during whose term of office the famons star-route cases were pushed to a conclusion, died early this morning at his home in this oity, aged 71 years. He had been suffering daring the entire winter with disease of the kidneys, but Ills condition did not beoome serious until about a month ago,ainoe which time he has been confined to the house. About a week ago it was discovered by bis physicians that paralysis of the bladder had set in, and his failure since then has been marked. Early this morning he sank into a heavy slumber and passed quietly away. Mr. Brewster wm one of the oldest abd most prominent members of the Philadelphia Bar. He was born October 6, 1816, in Salem oopnty, New Jersey. He had been twice married, but was a widower at the time of bis death, bis second wife hav- ing died about two } eurs ngo. [Paper rea<l before County Pomona Urangc, No. 20, by Mrs. James MoCracken, Jr.) Our Pomona Orange has frequently listened to speeches and discussions as to how the boys may be induced to remain upon tho farm ; bnt my aim is to show that an effort to keep the good girls upon the farm is a matter of equal importance. To soy that women have a great influence over men is putting the truth as mildly as a morning in May ; and to prove that farmers' girls exercise an equal power upon their neighbors' boys, I only need rofer you to numerous instances in the history of the Grango in Jefferson county whero many of our most conceitcd young men, including someof our county deputies have handed in the "flag of truce" and humbly yielded to their fate. Ih it presumption then for me to allege that, if the girls could be convinced that in a life upon tho farm there is as much comfort, pleasuro and independence as may be found in the homes of men in other callings in life, they would be willing to leave the farms of their fathers only to become matrons in rural homeB of their own ; and farmers' boys would be as slow to leave their horses and their plows to seek for pleasure and furtune in the city as a whale would be to start upon an overland route from Maine to California f Farmers as a rule think that girls do not need as much education as boys, but a greater mistake could not be made. Lees thau one year ago my husband and myself were coming from Punxsutawnev to our home, and stopped a few minutes with a wealthy farmer. His daughter was talking to her mother about wauting to go away to school. The mother told her it would bo all lost money to send her to school; that in a few years she would get married and settle down and would have no use for her education. Make education practical, sensible, and not a mere vapor a thing that withers upon leaving school and dies away with marriage. But I claim they should notonly be educated ;n school, but taught how to do domestic work. Teach them how to keep house; how to bake, cook, wash, iron, scrub and sow, >nd, upon leaving the parental root, to take charge of homes of their own, their girlhood training will be readily traced through every department which comes beneath their supervision. Their kitchen will be oleau and well arranged ; their parlors and sitting rooms ueat and cosy, and their tables tit to feed a king. The mind has been developed, as well as the skill, and an evening in the parlor of such a home, where the young mistress can entertain her company with easo and excellence should certainly convince the most skeptical that a woman's preparation for usefulness in life implies more than many parents are inclined to admit. They put dear ont of sight the idea that women are destined for anything like the definition of helpmate ; or, that their minds have any influence upon a continuous, useful and healthy human race. Their great force lies more in what they are thau how they look. A man or woman without any business, or anything to do is an abomination to society. It is the duty of the human race to work, but misdirected labor, without a definite purpose, is scarcely better than none. I Our daughters as well as our sons were created for wise and useful purpose. Farmers as a rule are too busy, aud consequently neglect or refubo to give their daughters, as well as their sous, the necessary time for amusements, and, in consoqueuco, they often leave the farm to seek amusements elsewhere, wholly unfitted for the life that is before them. There are many impossibilities in the world for farmers' girls, but there is one thing possible : They can train themselves, with the encouragement of their parents, so as to become womeu in the best Bense of the word, and arrive at full womanhood in some sphere in life. ' Away with those simpering girls that are almost afraid to f>nt their bands into water for fear of spoil ng their beautifal fingers. Suoh are not the ones to bring joy, comfort and happiness to any home, or to make for themselves the life they sit and dream should come to them. Employment is essential to happiness. Not that farmers' girls luust perform arduous labor for whioh they are unfitted by mature; but there are many other things pertaining to rural life in which they may engage that will elevate and refine, instead of degrade their characters or lives. They may ''add dignity to labor," by doing cheerfully and well all that dnty and justioe demand at their hands. No woman of genins or character will eat bread, wear clothes, ask for shelter, edneation and protection withont helping to produce them. Nor is work her only mission. The home is to be made pleasant and attractive by the smiles of good nacnre, and kind words and actions, whioh are the outgrowth of a pare christian heart. And many a rnde mound or oorner may be made to laugh with earth'e choioest blossoms, when a woman's band adjusts, or her mind directs their oare and plaoting. , A republican form of government is dedendent upon her Individual ownership, and her individual independence; and any country, and especially America, is dependent upon ber agricultural promotions. Hence, we conclude that upon the farm shonld be the hone of the beet men our oonntry oontains. Consequently, our brightest boys most be educated aud kept up<n the farm; and they will not stay there unless the surroundings and associations are ae good aa can be found elsewhere. No sensible and educated young man -will marry a girl whoaa edneation and early training have bean suoh that she most necessarily hang as • dead weight upon his arm as be moves onward and upward . in societf and position in life. Nor is be willing to have hi* children deprived of thatrefining and elevating influence wbloh can only be exerted by an educated aud christian mother. Qood men aud good J TAYLOR BELT., J.
