we can insure from it prompt attention to all
business entrusted to its care, and light com.

to address themselves to these gentlemen

but they can do full justice to business Of
this nature entrusted to them.

A LITTLE Boy IN Love AND CRrME.-Four
boys were arrested on Friday evening at Bar
NUNS Museum where they had called to hire
a private box for themselves. The eldes. of
the Youngsters had "fallen in love" with lit
tie Eva, and for several nights last week had
hired a STAGE box for himself and companions
at SIS per night. The manager of the Mu-
scum seeing them come so often for private
box, and suspecting they had money that had
been obtained dishonesty, sent for the police
and on searching them an empty envelope,
addressedto Sheppard g. Co., Fulton st, was
found on the person Of the Oldest boy. 1t
was then ascertained that firm had recently
lost several money.letters, and this boy hav.
ing been the person who took the letters out
of the post-office for the firm, he was sus.
pected of retaining them for his own use, and
was sent before the United States Court. On
one evening last week, he threw upon the
stage handsome gold bracelet for "littlt
Eva" and has been in the habit of watching
the stage that she entered as she was leaving
the Museum for home after the evening"
performance, and of getting into it. He i

Leakage In the state Treasury.


On Monday last report was made in the
House of Representatives of this State, from
the Committee of "Ways and Means" rela-
tive to State Script, &C., and without being
read, motion was made to print it. The
motion to print was resisted by Mr.. Test, for
the reason, as he alleged, that il implicated
"two honorable and honest men," Geo. H.
Dunn and General Drake, former Treasurers
of State.
Mr.. Meredith, Chairman of the Committee
of Ways and Means, said that most careful
examination of the books had been made, and
it was ascertained beyond doubt that the
State had lost, under Mr.. Dunn's administers
ton Of the Treasurer's Department, the sum
of $4,000, and under Mr.. brakes, the sum
of $4,000.
1t is a remarkable fact, and one which, for
the especial vindication of the apparent de-
linquent officers, requires explanation how
it happened, that the Treasurer's accounts
should pass through several successive ad-
ministrations. without being correctly bal
anced and adjusted.
The Sentinel Reporter intimates on his
own responsibility, in Mondays proceedings
that there was no question of honesty Of
Messrs. Drake and Dunn, "but they had con.
fded in and had been deceived by Clerks"
A committee was appointed to EXAMINE
into the matter and report to the next Gen
eral Assembly, which in all probability
amounts to an indefinite postponement o
the whole affair, while the most charitabl,
construction to be placed upon their conduc
is, an exceeding "looseness" if they should no
be obnoxious to graver charges.

liza gentleman and warm Republican

= njA gentleman and warm Republican,
writing US from Indianapolis, says:
al see you have been pouring grape and
canister into the Chapmans. That is right,
for they richly deserve it for their lukewarm-
ness since their nomination. As Simon
Suggs, of precious memory, says, they don't
make seed corn off'n you. Page fairly
CRASHED his teeth when the Legislature adj
journed without electing Printer. He got
in pet with the Republicans. and said he
didn't believe they wanted to go into the cleo
ton! Poor man! Having made office-seek-
ing trade, he must get used to disappoint-
ments." ..sa. b. ouo p. -.r7
And Page is the very individual who has
been claiming that he is not and has not been
candidate for the Office of State Printer!-
The nominotion was thrust upon him.
Well, he ought to be satisfied now, that he
has not been compelled to fill the office. He
got little nearer it, however, than he ever
will again. a. sif

The newer portions of this road have now

made on the road with as much security as

in very short time. This arrangement viii
be highly advantageous to the travelling pub

in one day, Chicago also should be reached
the same night, and Cleveland the mex

these facilities, which are easily attainable
our road would offer greater inducements Il

The E. and C. Railroad, under its preGen

is very evident that the business travelin

We regard this matter of an Eastern conne'

PAY Your BILLs-AN IScEHrIvE.-Some
years ago, farmer in Frederick county, Nd,
owed a neighbor of his $50, and soon as he
could realize the sum he promptly paid it
over. The morning he called to pay it, his
friend appeared to be very thankful, remark
ing that he was also in debt to another per-
son. who needed the money, and he would at
once take it to him. This remark started a
train Of thought in the mind of the first per-
son, who said to himself-why, here is 500
paid with $50, Twill at once follow up this
matter and see where it will end. He then
followed up the payments of debts by this
one note Of $50, until he traced it to the
large amount of $3.50! when it got out of
his reach.
