CAUTION.

Owing to the unexamped demand for these
Bitters, some unprincipled parties have endea-
vored to counterfeit them. The genuine RO-
SENBAUM have the name of N. B. JACOBS &
co. branded on each cork, and their signature
on each label. Beware, also, of worthless
article, called Rosencht's Bitters, put up in this
city. Its external appearance is very much like
the true Rosenbaum, but it is useless as a rem
edial agent, and has only been got up to prey on
the reputation attained by Rosenbaum's Bitters

attentions to these sons of Fun, The ten

attentions to these sons of Fun, The ten
days were gilt-edged from the beginning.
Some days after their departure, mysterious
little bills began to accumulate, resulting in
the end to "dem'd total" of one hundred and
thirty five thousand dollars. The committee
having the subject in charge, and with the APP
pearance of modest honesty which wasn't ex-
pected of them, struck out thirty thousand dol
lars at random, and asked an appropriation of
one hundred and five thousand dollars only.
The probable cost OF the reception altogether
in round and liberal numbers was about
twenty-five thousand dollars. The ingenuity
of the scheme consisted in getting the appro-
priation for this amount and the odd eighty
thousand dollars through the two branches of
the city government The aldermen allowed
the account with so great haste that the more
! judicious thieves were alarmed, and began TO
counsel propriety and discretion some defer
ence must be paid to the little prejudices pre-
vaiing in the community on these subjects.
When the matter came up last in the common
council, three-fourths vote being required for
concurrence with the aldermen, only one vote
was wanting, and that voter was absent.
The logic of those who defended the appro-
priation was little defective but their audac-
ity was above reproach. One of the more
honest of the common councilmen, a tailor by
trade, with great expectations, thought that
since New York was a large city, and had
much to hope for from friendly relations with
Japan, she ought not bubble about entertain
ing her representatives handsomely. One
other councilman, who sells brooms, thought
it was nasty principle" for New York to be
harping about $105000. He didn't believe in
standing upon trifes. These were very fine
strokes of policy. Stealing upon the plea of
high mindedness and hospitality is a new fea-
ture, and will find great favor with connois-
seurs. The appropriation will undoubtedly be
made, and the spoils divided before the sub
ject is dropped. Though such Office holding
swindlers are amenable to public opinion, they
are beyond the law.

The public have waited great while for
theft to become a science. HOUSEKEEPING
and plumber on the highways, are vulgar, not
to say dangerous pastimes. The path of COM
mon thieves leads too often to the common Jail
to be either pleasant or genteel Troublesome
statutes impose obstacles in the way of the
ordinary robber, who acts sefshly, and avoids
reputable associations. Au,oly Gus stole cattle
with excellent discretion, and achieved great
fame thereby, till the more discreet Sisyphus
detected him through the initial letter which he
thoughtfuly burned in the boots of his oxen,
If Autolycus had lived in New York he would
have become an alderman, and snapped his

There have been many accounts written,
some fabulous, some historical, Of remarkable
thefts. The forty thieves did something very
handsome in that line. 1t is said of Marlbor-
ough, famous in English history, that he made
astonishing returns to the Admiralty, and
pocketed pay in the names of innumerable
soldiers who had been shot before his eyes,
years before, at Sedgemoor But there was
some defect in their systems of plumber; so
much so that no one has had daring enough to
recommend their examples to posterity. Judg-

The REFORM ScHooL.-For several days
committee of the executive council have
been investigating reported cases of harsh
treatment at the reform school. 1t appears
from the brief statement of the Boston Tray
eler, that at the annual meeting of the COVER
nor and council, it was discovered that three
boys, named Edward Roach, George H. Nurse
and Phillip Breeson, aged seventeen or eight.
cen years of age, were in solitary confne.
ment. Their hands were manacled and they
were in separate cells, which were neither
lighted or properly ventilated. Roach had
been in the cell eight weeks for attempting to
fire the building. Nurse had then been in
| thirteen weeks, for an assault on the officer
and attempting to obtain the keys Breeson
had been in twelve weeks for attempting to
run away. Not having time to investigate
the matter then committee was appointed
to visit the school again. The committee
| consisted of Lieut.. Gov. Trask and Messrs
Sleeper and Churchill of the council AT
the second visitation, according to their report
Breeson had been released after Is weeks con
fnement. The other two were still in confine-
ment.
The committee characterize the cells AS
"black holes" totally unfit to confne persons
in for weeks and months, with brief interms-
sons of only half an hour each twice day.
The prisoners were kept on bread and water,
with their hands manaced behind them The
superintendent admitted that twenty others
had been similarly imprisoned previously for a
period of month downward, The commit
tee can find no record kept of the character OF
the prisoners after their admission, or the
causes or extent Of punishment. 1t was as
certained, however that three other boys had
been imprisoned for sixteen weeks. No mem
ton was made of these cells until inquiry by

GREAT DEARTH AND SCARCITY OF MONEY
AMONG THE PoL1TICIANs.-We are happy to
learn that there never before was, in any pres
idential contest, such dearth of funds among
the politicians as in the present one. No
money is coming in from any quarter, and the
wandering Ministries and vagrant orators who
in former contests used to fill the country with
nonsense and abuse, and loud talking, have no
funds wherewith to pay their expenses so
that their sweet voices are heard no more in
the towns and villages. The political pamph
lets can find no sale or no readers The cleo.
ton OF Lincoln over the scattered fragments of
the other parties is looked upon so much as
matter Of certainty that nobody cares to buy
them, OF to subscribe money for the wandering
Ministries or strong orators of former days.
The principal, most efficient and cheapest
eechoneerers for Lincoln are Douglas and his
friends in one section of the country, Brock.
inrdge and his friends in another section, and
Bell and his friends in another. This wise trio
appear determined that Lncon's election shall
be reduced TO the least possible amount of ex.
pense.

The LAST METEoR-On the evening of the
ID of August meteor of extraordinary bril-
liancy was seen in many places in Ohio. Prof.
Preston of Antioch College gives the follow
ing account of it -
Between 10 and 20 minutes past 10 o'clock
on the evening of the I'd inst, while sitting on
the step of the entrance to the south wing of
the college, engaged i'll conversation with one
of the students, there appeared in the southern
heavens, about one-third of the distance be-
tween the horizon and the zenith, a bright ball
of fire, resembling the moon in size and color.
| at once recognized it as meteor, and col
lected my thoughts for observation. AT its
first point it remained stationary for several
seconds, increasing in brilliancy from pale
red to a slvery white, encirclcd by ring OF
green. 1t then shot through the heavens in
horizontal, waverng line from east to west,
with immense velocity At first, sparks Of fire
were emitted, which changed as the fiery ball
increased in speed, to streams of light of the
most beautiful colors and of such brilliancy as
to dazzle the eyes, and left III its tram a very
large luminous band, equal to one half of its
own diameter. in which several of the colors of
the rainbow were distinctly exhibited
Unlike the meteoric display of the Goth of
July, there appeared but one ball of fire. AS
it entered the western horizon its course was
more irregular, and the flame again changed
TO a deep crimson. The ball continued its
antics until it was lost behind the clouds,
leaving trace of its path until it quite van
ished from sight. During the last few seconds
OF its existence the appearance of the southern
and western heavens was perfectly gorgeous,
presenting grand pyrotechnic display, in
which the meteor was the center piece. Dur
ing the phenomena the moon was wholly OBJ
secured by heavy cloud which rendered the
spectacle more brilliant. The duration of the
display l do not think was more than ten
seconds. There was no report, but a faint
kissing sound, as if produced by the conclusion
of air, was distinctly heard.

The influence of slavery, working through
the leaders of the democratic party, assails the
Declaration of Independence, subverts the fed,
eral constitution by giving it new meanings,
tramples under foot the policy of our republi-
can fathees, and talks of despotic measures to
suppress free speech, throughout all the free
states. And yet, some democrats, even here
in Massachusetts, can talk as if there were
something wrong, something to be ashamed of
in thinking that an institution so destructive
and internal in its influence, should be abel-
ished. The shameful thing in this matter is
the disposition in some northern men tojustify
and defend slavery, and allow 1t to assume a
divine right to establish itself in the terrific

greatly disturbed, last week, by the expression

The president of the association, w. G. Bates,
took advantage of his privileges at the festi-

of rank aboltionism, and as a specimen of bad
taste and i'll manners. He further denounced
the speaker with prostitutng the occasion FOL
political purpose, and with bringing great inJu
ry upon the school. 1t does not appear how
far the alumni sympathised with the president
in his great alarm. Mr.. Manning replied tc
his assault by vindicating the prophety OF en-
forcing upon young teachers the precepts o.
