We learn from an Indiana paper, that it
is rumOred that that state has recently lost
$1,000, 900 by her fund Commissl oners,
through the agency of broker in The east.
Report says, the Fund Commissioner placed
bonds to the above amount in the hands of
broker, signed and fully executed, and
the broker was TO obtain the funds. 1t
seems he did 50 and failed, and left the
Fund Commissioners an empty bag to bold.
This may possibly be pothng more than ru-
NOR, at any rate 1t needs something more
authentic to corroborate 1t We hope for
the sake of Indiana, and the advancement of
her improvements, that the report may
prove untrue; though defalcations and
breaches of trust are so common now-a-
days, that we should not be surprised if the
rumors were soon confirmed. d.-Cm. Rep.

we're favorable to the Wings.
As an evidence Of the interest felt in our

a gentleman of New Jersey, came here for
the purpose ofconveying the intelligence to
that state, now on the eve of an important
election, ms speedily as possible; all of them

INDIANA.-Public notice has been given
in Indiana to the contractors on the works
of internal improvement, in consequence of
information received from the Fund Com
missioners in New York, that the August
payment to the contractors will be postpon-

says " that the Bankers who purchased our
Bonds, sent them to England to raise the
money to make payment, and that the
agent has returned without sellineg them, in
consequence of which, the Bankers cnnnot
pay the promised instalment, and have so

A CHALLENGE TO THE FIELD.--The
editor of the Worcester Mass. Egis,
(Hon. William Lincoln,) closes contro-

to the Worcester Palladium, by Offering to
the editor of that print honorable satisfac-

he whose work is done the best and in the

Should the challenge to mortal potatoe-dig-

A SHARP roUNG'UN.--Yesterday fore
noon, Mr.. Abel Lyons, of the corner of Mas
slu street aud Maiden lane, sent his son, a
lad years Of age to the Mechanics Bank
to obtain the money for check for Sj7.
On his way to the Bank the boy was accos
ted by little girl, not over 10 years of age,
who asked him if he had not dropped some
money. He replied in the negative, where
upon she stated that she had just picked up
a roll of money, amounting to $3.50, which
she thought he had dropped. He denied
having lost it, and the little girl continued
to walk with him, conversing with him about
the money she had found, asking him what
she should do with it, and many other qucs-
tions calculated to convey very strong i'm
preston of unsophsticated innocence. In
this way she accompanied him to the Bank,
went in with him, and saw him draw his
$57, md then came out with him.
After leaving the Bank she continued
her artlcss conversation with young Lyons
relative 10 her large wind-fall, and became
quite afraid of carrying it, lest she should
lose it; and finally. that it might be safe, she
proposed to the lad to put both their parcels
llllu HdhuhcltHl'ij dUu ucpVSlJ illC NnOlS
in young Lyons pocket. This the lad ac-
ceded to, and taking out his handkerchief,
did his money up in one part of it, and then
handed it to hls little companion that she
might also make her deposit. lie then put
the handkerchief in his pocket. Just at
that time the girl saw woman turning into
an opposite street, with whom she wished
to speak; and telling the lad she would meol
him at the corner of Broadway and Maiden
lane, left him and hurried over to the wo.
man.
Young Lyon kept on to the appointed
corner, when he halted for the girl to meet
him according to appointment, but the Ion.
ger he waited the more she didn' come.
In order that there might not be unnecessary
delay after she should come, he took out his
handkerchief for the purpose of disenga.
ging their respective parcels money; when,
10! he found that his own $57 had disap.
peared, and the girls roll, consisting not Of
$3.50, but of a wad of brown paper, was re.
posing safely in its place. The girl did
not come to explain the strange circum-
stance, and the lad went home and broke the
matter to his father, with the best face he
could.-N. Y. Sun.

Jack Frost, arrant bogus maker that he
is, was out on one of his excursions, the
night before last, with his bottle of quick,
silver, sprinking it over the fields and fen.
ces, and turning everything glittering
white, to shine in the beams of the morning
sun. The rascal! How busy he must have
been, touching little here, and dashing a
great splash there, all the while chucklng
at the mischief he was making, and grin.
ming at the thought how he would take the
good people by surprise when they crept out
of their warm beds in the morning. Right
merrily did he laugh, 10 doubt, when he
threw double portion over the buckwheat
fields and melon patches, at the thought of
how he would cheat the good folks out of
their nice fruit this fall, and their warm
breakfast cakes, next winter. All Jack!
its grudge we have against you.

VALUABLE " SwEEpINGs. Oh Satur-
day afternoon, a woman named Catharne
Maxwell, was employed to scour the floor
of Messrs. Hughs and GuinDett, of 254
Broadway. Toward night she having com
pleted her job, received her pay, and as she
was retiring, the attention of one of the
clerks was attracted by the unusual bulky
appearance OF the woman's neither propor-
tons. The young man took what might
seem rather an unwarranted liberty--he
searched her person, ard beneath her gar
ments he found concealed itDo valuable tar
tan plaid shawls, which she had purloined
from the premises. On questioning her
about the theft, she said that she had under
stood that all that was found about the
floor belonged to the sweeperG," and, by
this common lato she laid claim to the pro-
perty in question. .-Unable TO decide this
question of law, the clerk handed her over
to the police, and she was committed, to
await decision before the Session Court.

GoosR WHEAT.--Mr. Isaac Babcock, of
Rush. has presented US with small guam
ti,y of Goose Wheat, IN the head. raised by
his son, II. M. Babcock. This wheat has
but recently become known, and is attract
ing considerable attention among farmers.
1t is remarkably productive, often yielding
from 80 tots bushels from an acre. M.
B. counted 100 grains from one stalk
Roch. Dem.
This kind of wheat is said to derive its
name from fact that few grains of it
were found in the crop Of wild goose that
was shot few years since near the head of
Lake Champlain. The wheat was noticed
to be ofpeculiar quality, was sown, and from
those few grains have come all that we
now have in the country.--Buf. Com.

IiPoRTANT.-A movement will soon be
made in regard to the PrrsideRcu that,
while it will confound the enemy will re.
move every obstacle to a perfect union in
the ranks ofthe opposition. Our source of
information is of the highest authority, and
may be relied upon. All will soon be well
and will place the party in the position it
never should have abandoned in 1896. We
congratulate our friends in advance, upon
the light of day which will soon break upon
them.
The Philadelphia Evening Star, from
which the above is taken, is the leading
Harrison paper in Pennsylvania, and ear.
nestly advocated the union of the Wings
upon Gen. Harrison as the only available
candidate. As to the degree ofimportance
which should be attached to its oracular
giving out, our readers can Judge as well
as ourselves. We might speculate upon
the probable character of the movement to
which it refers, but it would be useless
The mystery will doubtless be revealed in
good time. In the meanwhile we will say,
whatever movement is made, when the time
to act arrives, we have no doubt the Wings
will be found ed.--BuE. Pat.

W. are rather inclined to the opinion, that
some of the prints are mistaken in recr-
ence to the resignation of his seat in Con-
gress by Rice Garland, Esq. of louisiana.
If we remember aright, Mr.. Garland was
chosen to be a Judge by one branch ofthe
Legislature, but the other did not act on
the nomination, and the appointment was
not complete. Mr.. Garland, therefore, is
still entitled to his seat in the House Of
Representatives. Richmond Whig.

IT MUST BE ONLY A RUMoR.--The New
Orleans Loulsianian Of the latest dates says,
" there was n report in town that the
schooner Cumanche was in the river from
Vera Cruz, bringing the information that
Santa Anna had been assassinated. The
report is probably without foundation; the
Cumanche is not reported by any tow-boat." :"
We should not be much surprised if this
bloody and heartless murderer had become

perpetrated by this tyrant at the Alamo, will
never cease 10 be forgottonin Texas, while

CONDITION OF THE PREss.--The condi-
ton of the Press in this country. in refer
Ell ce to the system of inds crminate credit
on which it has been SO generally conduc-
ted, is beginning 20 engage iheattenton of
the country. "The SYSTEM" the Philadel-
phia North American remarks, is injuri-
Gus, both to publishers and to those sub
scribers who pay. The amount of money
thus lost would, if expended on the paper
as might have been, have increased its at
fractions an hundred fold. 1t is fact
which we can vouch for, that there are
standing on the books of large establish
mcnt in an adjoining city, bad debts to the
amount of 800 900, and on those Of an
other to the amount of 10000. These are
but two instances which have fallen under
our own observation, and there are doubt
less many papers in the country which
could present long and appalling array OF
delinquencics. The press would be render
ed more independent by cash system, and
avoid many imputations which are cast up
on it.
In London, this system is universal, the
papers are hawked about the streets as the
penny papers are in this country.-.4meri-

WHIPPING A WlFE.--In the Franklin
Circuit Court, Harvey Peas, on Tuesday
last, was fined five dollars and sentenced d to
four months Imprisonment in the county
jail. Although this may appear to be a Sc
we're penalty, we are satisfied from the evi-
dence, that it was melting out justice. 1t
appears in evidence that Peas had been in
the constant habit of whipping his wife, cv-
er since the wedding night, and in CONVEX
satlon with his neighbors, who reproved
him for i'l-treating her, contended that he
had right, which he could prove from the
Holy Scriptures, to whip and rule his wife
as he pleased, We think the jury can con-
vince him that they have right also to
punish him for it.-BrockuiHe (Ia.) Ame,i-

TIE WBATHER.-Hurra! The Sep
tember winds have come, whistling and
blowing, and driving the miasma that breeds
the ague and nurses the yellow jaundlce,
away, away--and instilling new life and
vigor into the frames of the pale subjects
of the bilious demon that has been stalking
among us for the past two months. Beau
tiful is this atmospheric tonic in its opera
ton, and like love it takes the command of
the warm red blood and calls it up to burn
and blush In the pale worn cheek, and tin
gle and curvet through the collapsed veins
of the sickly extreneties. Throw physc to
the dogs-pay the doctor his fee and let
him go--tie an extra mufiler around your
neck and turn out and snuff the wholesome
bracing air until your frame becomes as
light as buoyant and as free as the element
itself. Eschew not exercise in moaera-
ton, but aid the fluids in their course with
gallop on horseback or a brisk walk on
foot, and your shorn strength will return to
you even as the strength of Samson when
his new curls had grown and fell upon his
brawny shoulders. The sickly season is
over, and we have before US ten months of
as beautiful climate as any in the world
SO get well, oil ye pale subjects, and enjoy
il.

YANKEE IN FRANoE.-Mr. Wellington
editor of the Charleston Courier in South
Carolina, Is travelling in France with his
family. A daughter Of Mr.. w. has been
married in Paris to the son of one of the
Admirals in the British Navy. This event

Yankee boy, where intelligence is COM
bined with industry and energy of character.
Mr.. Wellington is native af West Cam
bridge near Boston. His parents are wor-
thy people, and if we mistake not, his father
is or was famer. and for long series of
yers mas grown vegetables for the Boston
market. A long while since, with dickey
in his hat and few pennies in his pockel
young Wellington went south. After pas
sing through various gradatinns, from entire
obscurity he became distinguished as one of
the most able and dlgnified Editors in the
Union. Distinction and wealth followed,
and now he is travelling abroad with his
family, and his daughter has just been con-
nected by marriage with the son of a Brit
ish Amiral! The mutations ofrank and for
tune in this country are curious sometimes
when diligently traced out.
