HoLE-IN-ruE- DAY.-We learn that this Indian
Chief has confessed that he hired an Indian to fire
the late Chippewa Agency, and that the agent is

Agency by fire, several times before, upward Of

gantc strides. We learn that lots amounting to
upwards of $500 have recently been sold, and
that various improvements are going on. We are

MR. EDITOR Since the rains our farmers
have been husily engaged in preparing their
ground for seeding. and hope they will yet
le ready in season to prevent at least. one
cause Of their failure last year, as they arc
convinced early sowing is decidedly better
than late. Ofone thing am certain; persons
who had their wheat in carly last year, were
favored with an average yield. 49,.
This neiglborhood is improving very much:
there is as much grain raised in proportion to
acres as in any other part of the county. The
village Of Lombardvilc is improving yry
much; there has been erected this Season a
large and commodious hotel, well calculated
to accommodate number fpcrsons comfort
ably. Such a house has been much needed.
1t is kept by Mr. A. Ycrkes. formerly of
Montgomery county, Pa, who is every way
calculated to discharge tie duties as land
lord. Our friend r. Griffith is building a
splendid house rot far from the village.
We have some literary characters in our
ncighborhood; they have been discussing sew
cral subjects during the present summer, the
last question discussed was, Can man fall
from grace? 1t is one in which the people
feel a deep interest, and was, so far as can
learn, pretty well handled. The discussion
was among Messrs. Wright, Hall and James
in the affirmative and Wilson, Reynolds and
Donnelly in the negative. They kept up the
debate to a late hour, neither being willing
toquit. ! was glad to learn that was in
error in regard to "Kclso" having met with a
smash. FELIX.

Coal PROSPECTS The New York Herald
says:--Wc learn that great number of
heavy consumers in the Eastern States, taking
advantage of the new reciprocity treaty, have
cngag, d the Pictou coal, in consequence of
being able to procure it at a cheaper rate than
the Pennsylvania anthracite is at present
furnished. We also learn that great many
manufactures in this city and a large nanrher
of steamboats,, are substituting the Lacka-
wanna for the anthracite, which latter they
have heretofore used. One steamboat COM

WHO PAYS THE COST?

Some time in August constable Simmons
arrested yellow girl for coming into the
State contrary to the Act Of Assembly of 1889
and few days afterward Thos. McCrcary ar
rested black man on the same charge. From
the time of the arrests up to Monday the ! ] tn
inst one of the party, at least, was lodged in
Jail, (the girl obtained bal,) and then after
hearing before the Orphans Court, both
were discharged.
IL these two negroes had been found guilty
of violating the Act under which they were
arrested, they would have been fined $40
each, 1.-THE whole Of the fine to 60 to the in
former) and would have been compelled to
pay all Jail fees and expenses incident to their
arrest; but as they have been discharged who
has to foot the bill Why Cecil County of
course.
The Prosecuting Attorneys fees, Jail fees,
board bill, &C., it is true, will not amount to
much--say not over $50, and this pitiful sum
in a county in which thousands have been
squandered during the last few years is hard
ly worth making fuss about. But as the
people who are taxed so heavily are anxious
to know what becomes of their money we will
tell them that by adding the numerous sums
like this together they can perhaps account
for the large ones they have to pay.
Now, if this yellow girl and black man had
been found guilty, McCreary ands Simmons
would have pocketed just $50 each. But as
they were acquitted the county must fork over
about $50 to pay the expenses. And who is
benefited by the operation! Nobody at all.
If they had both been fined the county
wouldn't have received the first red cent but
as they were discharged it has to "stand the
shot"
This thing Of arrfs sing niggcrs may be very
fine sport for Tom ricCreary and Larry SIM
mons who have every thing to gain, and
nothing to lose by the game; but to the tax
payers who arc compelled to work and sweat
to pay for the sport it is not so intensely in
tcrestng. McCreary and Simmons who are
50 anxious preserve the dignity of the state,
and have the law fulfilled TO the very letter
that they arrest every strange Niger they
see, ought, we think, to be made undertake
| such jobs at their own expense. AS the In
dian told the white man, it is turkey with
them all the time. If they make "a hit, " the
niger has to pay the expense. If they miss
the county foots the bill. Citizens of Cecil
County, are you willing to pay taxes for the
encouragement Of such amusement
