—Teue.—l'at roni?e home industries,is a good motto for every one, but un-fortunately all do not adopt it. Wehave known managers of financial in-stitutions dependent on the residentsof a village for support , to .-end out ofthe place, foy any Utile job of workthey wished done, no; withstanding thefact that the work < - .-uld he just as sat-isfact orily performed at home. Notlong ago a business matt we know ofissued a circular inviting the people oftlie village in which he done businessio trade with him , strongly urging thejusti ce of th* peop le patronizing theirown t radesmen. 1 ha; circular was sentout of the village to be printed , al-though the place contained a fullyequipped printing office. Row is thisfor inconsistency ? In ihe long rnn itwill pay best to patronize home indus-tri es . It benefits ihe tradesmen andthe village at large.—i Seaside Time? .

—Local Pi slic Spip.it.—Few thingstend more to elevate a locality, and at-tract to it the better classes of residentsthan a well directed local public, spirit.Where this exists it acts as a magnet,drawing to the city, town or villagethose enterprising persons of otherplaces who are seeking a congenial at-mosphere to which to remove. ' Goodstreets and good roads are among thefirst evidences of the existence of thisdesideratum. Churches and goodschools, well attended,comenext Thena prosperous Bank ¦ and last, bnt notleast, a well patronized Press. Thereare many places on Long Island, pos-sessing natural advantages, that arekept hack by a contrary course on thepart of their residents. Fearful of theslightest increase in their taxes theypersist in opposing even the most nec-essary improvement; while local bick-erings and jealousies create a most un-attractive atmosphere for any one ofbroad views and intelligent humanity.To such places one of the latter classwill sometimes remove in ignorance ofits existence, bat his stay is almost al-W3T3 short. On the other hand, eachsuch accession to a town m which localenterprise is cherished, not only adds toand perpetuates it bnt increases its at-tractions for others. This has been theexperience of our Town, and we felici-tate ourselves, and congratulate onrneighbors npon the fact .—[HempsteadInquirer,

I' rop liftlc YM011- .One dav in the spring of IStJl I sat

with 0 latiy friend conversing pleas-antly, when I saw on my left knee apile of bank notes; the top one was a$3 bill. I saw it distinctly, andso told my friend ; site could notsee it. II quickly disappeared , and wespeculated over the matter a little andsoon forgot it. This happened iu theforenoon. In the afternoon of thosame dav a man came in unexpectedlyand paid me rent money. He tvas notin the habit of paying at stated times.After be had gone I took a banknote detector to examine tho bills tosee if they were all good. I laid themin a pile on the left of my lap. and,with the detector in the right hand,proceeded. A $3 bill lay on the top,and I instantly recalled the vision ofthe forenoon, and drew my friend'sattention to the situation.

At another time I saw two $-20 bilkin the air. 1 was sure some one wouldpay me money. I could think p£ upone unless it was 'piy 'piptpei', who.owed me that 'umch or more and wasto pay it when she pleased. I thoughtshe would send it in a letter, but dayspassed and no letter or money came.I felt puzzled , for I could not remem-ber any mistakes in these experiences.It might have been a week after thoVision when my two children came inon-tho stage. They had been stayingat thy uiotlierr8'ana I had not expectedthem homo. The girl was 11 yearsold and somewhat careless. She hadbeen homo three days, and we hadseemingly talked over everythingabout grandma's affairs, when shespoke tip loudly and quickly, saying :"Oh! ma, I forgot to 'tell you :grandma sent you some money, andit is sewed up iu tho bosom of rnydress." We got her traveling dressand found the money, just two notesof the amount I had seen.—Religio-Philosophical Journal.

Forty-nine Years In Prison.The Franklin County almshouse at

present affords shelter to a man wholitis a remarkable record in the crim-inal annals of this part of the state.His name is "William Pierce, and hewas released from Auburn prison afew days ago. after serving a term ofimprisonment amounting to forty-nine years, four months and six days.The crime for which Pierce sufferedthis terrible punishment was for themurder of bis own father on Jan. 10,1S3;«. Pierce, who was then about 1(5years old, was working in the woodswith his parent , when « dispute aroseover tho use of a horse which he de-sired lo drive in the evening lo attenda party or spelling school in the neigh-borhood.

The father, unable to stand the abu-sive language of his son, att empted tochastise him. In return , Williamseized his ax and with two or threeblows killed him. The parricide wasarrested and tried iu (his village inJuly, and sentenced to be hangedon Sept. 2 of the same year. Onaccount of his youth Governor Sew-ard commuted the sentence to impris-onment for life.

Pierce became hopelessly insane afew years ago, and a second commu-tation was granted, which allowed hisrelease. Every one of his relatives inthis county has been dead manyyears, and the story of his crime wasalmost completely forgotten—Malone(N. Y.) Special to New York Sun.

< . The Mountain. Goat.While engaged in a hunt I tried to

learn something from the half breedabout these strange animals, but, al-though he had killed scores of them,he was so uncommunicative that Iwas given precious little information.However, I learned enough to knowthat the race is nearly extinct, havingbeen hunted with great vigor on ac-count of the hides by those who didn'tcare for the sport, and also havingbeen pursued so hard by genuinesportsmen, who were cavriea awaywith the delights of the chase. I hadformerly thought that they had th,esebig curving horns you have seen inpictures, on. which, they alighted -un-harmed after springing from somelofty height ; but that's all nonsense,for their horns are small and sharppointed.

They are fearless, however, in rac7ing over the mountains, and makesome astonishing leaps and climb upto seemingly inaccessible • heights,taking a sure foothold where it wouldseem almost an impossibility for themto stick. Altogether, I don't wonderthat there is so much of an effort p icapture them.

¦- ¦- ¦ •By the way, I learned that in the

Sawtooth Range another animal couldbe found which is unknown except inEurope—the ibex. At least there }Sfttradippri tq (hat effect , - but I saw-none, and couldn't ascertain that anyhad been killed; ¦ so after all it may bea fable.—-Chicago Tribune,,
