Now, we don't wish to weary you with long stories about what we have or can do. Life is too short and too valuable to be spent in trying to deceive the people of this vicinity. Hence, we will advertise just what we have and can do, and we feel sure that every intelligent, thinking man and woman will endorse the principles we hav adopted in doing business. Our motto is The Vigilant fired a blank shot, which had no effect, as the Yankee vessel was gaining gronud. A solid shot was fired over the vessel, striking some 15 jardi beyond. This is in its tnrn was paid no attention to, and the commander of the Vigilant then trained his guns upon the flying schooner, which was nearly half a mile to the front, scndding along before a strong breeze. Several shots were fired, but without effect, and the commander of the Vigilant, seeing his prey getting away from him, ordered all sail* up and prepared to run the daring fishorman down. Just abont this time the foretop mast of the Vigilant was carried away, and the chase had to be abandoned, the Hattie Wand continuing on her way toward Eastport. It is reported a great many fishing Teasels are about the Hay of Fundy looking for bait, and iu many instanoes buying it. Another cruiser will be dispatched at an early day to aid the Vigilant lu watching them.

When Dr. Wireback, whooonduoted the postmortem examination,shored the skull to the jary and illustrated the ooursu of the ball by means of a probe, a sensation was created in court, and almost the entiro orowd, including ladies, stood up to catch a glimpse of it. About forty witnesses are to be examined for the prosecution.Cuuaov, Agrfl The King radar trial began km tkia meaning.

Thirteen witnesses were sxamined this Afternoon, bnt no very important testimony waa addaoed. Daniel Whiting repeated a conversation with King the night of Davie' return to town, in which King expressed fear, saying Davis had threatened trouble if King was still at Dinsmace's on his return. Later King said he had been to see Davis, but the latter had treated him coldly. When advised to go away King said he wanted to do so but Mis. Dinsmore would not permit him, ss slie wanted him to protect her against Davis, from whom she expected trouble. King seemed to anticipate an encounter and said the result would depend on who got the drop first. Jerry Rupert testified Kiug admitted the killing to bim, adding, "He'd be d—d if he'd let him come in swinging revolvers over a sick woman's head." According to William Powell he told King when the latter told him he'd kill Davis that it waa a bad job. In reply King said "Yes, but I waa compelled to do it, He was kicking the door in." The day before when Powell told him Davis was in town, King showed his revolver and said he was not afraid. The weapon wonld fix Davis. Afterward King told bim Davis waa after him, but if Davis drew he would kill him on the spot. Everything marked in plain figures—the only legitimate way of doing business. We feel sure that the people arelieartily tired of being humbugged by being asked 920 for a suit which they afterwards buy for $12, and then, most likely, get stuck.

Thia will ha The Senator who has repeated this significant conversation to his friends, says that, while the President was not talking for the purpose of getting his views abont re-election before the public, there was no intimation that he desired hie words to be regarded as confidential. The Senator haa spoken freely of the interview to personal friends withont any injunction of secrecy, and it is not nnlikely this private discussion of the matter will eventually provoke some formal and public utterance by the Preeident. Apparently to make it plain that he had taken no half-hearted roeolntion, the President proceeded to speak of the exacting and laborious duties which fall to the incumbent of the Presidential office, when the funotions of the Presidency are administered with the scrupulous and minute faithfulness he has brought to the position. Mo man, he said could endnre the severe strain ef such labor, at once physical and mental, for a longer period than four years without risk of permanent injury to his health. For these reason* he could not think of continuance of his term beyond the four years he has now half completed. Nothing, he said to his Senatorial visitor, would persuade him to alter this resolution which he had deliberately formed. He did not want a second term, and he did not believe there were any obligations of pnblio dnty whioh could require him to forego his personal wishes. Continuing, he added: Everything I do, every appointment I make, they think it is to secure re-eleotion. On the contrary, I am oounticg the days that remain until my release from officejust as if I were a prisoner in confinement." Kay* He Saw m Ghost.

Then I turned and ran, and'it followed me all the way here. It kept about a rod behind me. I knew it was not a man, because I oould not hear its feet hit on the road.

Apyilllai lt*m la Kunu, East Saginaw, Mich., April 23.—John Stadler, aged 56, a wealthy farmer of Eichville, this county, went to Tennessee to purchase lands. He was accompanied by I I Max Burgermaster, of this city. Near Allardt, Tenn., Stadler left his companion who, after a persevering search, returned home without him. It was supposed that he was foully dealt with. Stadler is subject at times to a remarkable affliction. He suddenly loses his memory, and cannot even recall hia own name. At the time of hia disappearance he had on his person a large sum of money and drafts for other large sums, and as he waa supposed to have been cured of his affliction the theory of murder was acoepted. When he left his traveling companion he wandered away and traveled until be crossed the line into Kentuoky, where he stopped with a larmer, who finally heard of the strange disappearance and wrote to his friends. The addressed letter was left on the table, where 8tadler saw it and read the address of his wife. He instantly came to himself, told the farmer about hia trouble, and wanted to hasten home, but the farmer would not permit Stadler to go oat of 'hia sight for fear of a recurrence of the disorder, and prevailed on him to await the ooming of friends.

Those willows have been tried on one of the principal railways of Pmssia and have answered admirably. A pet feet network is made by the roots,, which binds the whole surface firmly, the thick green growth transforming the raw and ghastly gashes in the earth into a beautiful thioket. The men who take care of and watch the track can easily care for the willows, which grow readily in dry aa well as wet soil, if It is a little loose, and where there is a market for basket material the growth oan be profitable. -r\B.

Yeeterday a well- kno w n and wealthy gentleman of this city deposited four large bars, supposed to be gold, with the Aasayer, to be refined and made into standard gold bars. The gentleman said that the bars were from California, and were estimated Jo be worth abont $10,000 each or $40,000 for the four, and that an assay whloh he bad made showed the bars to be abont 72 per cent. fine. The bars were received and receipted for in the nsual form, and the gentleman departed in full confidence that he had $40,000 in gold in the hands of Uncle Bam. The suspicion of Mr. Graham, the reoeiver of deposits, was excited by the light weight of the bars—their apecifle gravity being only abont 8.95, whereas the epeeifie gravity of gold le 10.3. Samples were taken from the four bars and assayed, when it was fonnd that the ban were «f copper with a thin wash ef gold on the outside. In short, the four nate turned oat to be worth abont $4, instead of $40,000. At noon to-day the gentleman had not oaUed to aaoertain the resalt of the assay. It is evident that a fraud 'bat been perpetrated upon him, and that lie'is numbered among the victims of the gold brick triok.
