CHEMICAL uoKoEwHrrINa.-T
Media { Pa american says that Joanna
Common charges Catholic priest with
scourging her with whip made of twist
ed wire, decorating the skin on her arms
and back, and drawing blood. She has
made oath TO this effect before Justice
of the Peace. The provocation for the
deed is not stated, neither is the name of
the priest given, who is said to have also
whipped a woman in the same manner
for marrying Protestant, so that she was
confined to her bed for three weeks.
The Liverpool Mercury says that a
Catholic priest at Langford, Ireland, re-
Gently seeing a drunken woman in the
road as he was riding along, got out OF
the carriage, and taking the drivers whip,
proceeded to lash and beat her, following
her some thirty or forty rods for this pur-
pose. The unfortunate woman made Nc
resistance, and crouched like spaniel
dog. In the country districts of ireland
the clergy are great adopts at horsewhip:
ping. Latterly, however, the peasantry
have shown a disposition to resent this
degrading treatment, and public opinion
is likely soon to put an end to it.

about the skeleton which may be of some
interest to surgeons. The thigh bone

Bridges and Turnpikcs.


Over and often has the public atten.
zion been called through the medium OIL
the Press, to the Importance of con
structing Bridge across the West fork
Of White Water at this place, until the
subject appears to have become fiat
stale and Improbable. When our river
becomes uniordablc, we are appraised Of
the necessity OF constructing one, but
the subsistence Of the water is succeed
ed by lothargy and the interest mani
tested is entirely lost, to be again reyiv
cd by succeeding ffcshet
We recur to this subject, and urge
upon our citizens, and those interested
10 take such decisive measures as will
lead TO intercourse with the Western
portion of our County, in defiance Of
our streams.
Want Of unity has heretofore been q
drawback TO tho iulfilmcnt Of such a
worthy enterprise; there have been too
many individual interests in conflict
A union should be had by which some
eligible point can BIO selected, and all
this jairing cease.
A point which hns been suggested,
and which to us appears the most prac-
tiblc OF all others, is in the locality OF
the residence of ]. o. ST. Johns deceas-
cd. We nro led to this opinion from
the TACT that fam basis for such SUI
perstruction can be had at that point
Experience has demonstrated the neccs-
sity Of constructing the abutments upon
solid foundation. Had proper atten-
ton been given TO erection Of the abut-
ments to the bridge across the east fork,
on the road leading to Mt. Carmel, we
would not now be denied intercourse
with the Eastern portion Of our County
by n swollen stream.
With the assistance which would I'M.
doubtedly be extended TO this enterprise
BY our County Board, in addition to
liberal donations from private citizens.
We do not question but that n Bridge
can be constructed, especially as stated
before, if this rivalry relating to its To-
cation can be suppressed
In connection with this subject, we
would call attention to tho Importance
of Turnpike to extend from said
Bridge TO Sunmansyillc, on the Indian.
apolis and Cincinnati Railroad, giving
as two or three hours ride 10 the latter
place. We venture to say that nearly
all the travel South, North and West,
would be over this road. We have
daily mail, (high water always exccp-
tod) from here to that Station. With n
Turnpike the travel would be immense
ly increased, and the lands in the west
ern portion of the County would be.
come populated, and enhance in value,
thereby reducing our taxation by in
creasing our taxabes. We may have
something moro to say on this subject

The wAY.rnE MONEY GoEs.-During
the past quarter, the disbursements by
tho General Government amounted TO
over s2l 100000 for civil and war pur-
poses. and apart from the demands up
on the Treasury for interest upon the
public debt. The Navy alone drew up
on the Treasury for s7,2oO,OOO during
the quarter, a much larger sum than
the naval expenditure for any one fiscal
year between 1915 and 1916, and about
equal to the average annual expcndi-
ture for tho Navy during the war OF
lSf2-lsl5. Great expenses have been
recently incurred for vessels chartered
for the Paraguay expedition, which
upon critical survey were found un.
seaworthy.

That Investigation.

Now that tho elections arc over. We
may be permitted to call the attention
Of our Board Of County Commissioners
to tho matter of investigating the ac
counts Of our Auditor and Treasurer
without being liable to tho charge of a
desire, on our part, 10 effect tho election
in relation to their suffrages. We are
advised to do this, at the urgent solicit
tation Of many citizens, who are not sat
ished or content with the partial exam.
ination had, but who still entertain the
opinion that there is something wrong.
They desire clear exposition, as to the
sls2o, and $1,000, which cannot be had
except by the employment OF compc.
tent persons, whose services tho Board
should call into rcquisition, giving them
ample time to do justice both TO the
Offices and the public. If errors exist,
they should be corrected. If the Books
have been kept properly, Justice to the
officers should impel rigid examina.
ton.
We shall await with good deal OF
anxiety, the action Of thoensuing Board
in relation to this matter. The heavy
taxes under which ourpeopIe are groan.
Ing, induces them to watch narrowly
their expenditures.
in addition to the above, il would not
be improper to examine into amounts
allowed for extra services, and to whom
allowed; amounts Of stationary pur.
chased for each Office &C., giving the
public a clea: and comprehensive view
OF their internal affairs, that those who
read may understand
We think we may count with safety
upon Messrs Goble and Stops, who will
have an eye on the expenditures hereaf
ter, ind any allowance made, will no
doubt, undergo critical examination
before passed upon.
