theatre in which President Lincoln was
murdered, through the connivance Of

Government for damages, for closing his
theatre. and not permitting him to specu.

A CoNTRAsT.-Two women are now
before the American public, between
whom there is striking contrast.
Jane G.. Swisshelm is writing letters,
which if not intended, at least have the
effect. of encouraging the Copperhead
howl against our Government. She is
manufacturing sympathy for Mrs. Sur.
ratt, and endeavoring to write her into a
slaughtered martyr, instead of an execu.
ted criminal. guilty of the murder Of the
President Of the United States.
Miss Clara Barton. daughter of Judge
Barton. of Worcester, Massachusetts,, after
heroically laboring for the relief Of the
sick and wounded in the Union hospitals
is now laboring to ascertain the where
abouts or the fate of missing soldiers from
every State of the Union, whose friends
have endeavored in vain to hear from, or
to gain some clue as to what became of
them. Sae has now set out for Ander.
sonville, to enclose the burying ground
of our seventeen thousand starved prison
ers, and has procured and shipped twelve
thousand head-boards for the graves o
that number. whose resting places hsvs
been identified.
1t is not hard to decide which of the
above is the truest specimen Of patriot
ic American woman, and which will en-.
dure longest and greenest in the memory
of the American people.

Humbug W. Utility.

We know that it is useless to preach
against people permitting themselves to
be humbugged, or to attempt to persuade
them to contribute for useful purposes
money which they waste upon humbugs,
and which they feel they are about to
waste before they spend it. Nevertheless.
we will venture upon few useless sug-
gestions-uaeless, because nobody will act
upon them, reasonable though they be.
A few weeks ago. DeHaven's Circus
performed here, was well attended, and
was by almost everybody pronounced q
humbug and q swindle. Still, they car
risd away between $500 and $1,000.
Ortou's Circus is visiting every hamlet
in the country. and is voted to be the
most unmitigated humbug that ever
travelled. Yet, were it to come here. it
would be well pstronized. and ss much
money carried away as before. Yankee
Robinsor's Show has started the rounds,
and it is said to be another great humbug.
But if it comes here, it will carry away
as much money as it predecessors. One
or two other Circuses. besides j. Stick
ney Haskell's catch-penny travelling
theatre, and several other smaller affairs,
are also on their travels, and may be
along during the Summer If so, they
will receive their share Of patronage.
Upon the whole, if all these shows should
visit us, they would take away, in the ag-
gregate. at least o.. $500, clean cash, in
return for stale tricks and jokes, which
every one has heard and seen, from the
time be was old enough to go to a show.
Now. we want a school-house here
badly, and we see but little prospect of
getting one. 1t is disgrace to the place
that we have none. Winter will be along
too soon; and if we are to have q school,
there must be place 10 hold it in. A
room may be procured, or may not be.
If not, what is to become Of the children
about town, and of the school money be.
longing to this District =?
We propose that every person, upon
the supposition that three Circuses, one
theatre, and one niger show will be here
during the Summer, sit down and make
an estimate of the amount which he shorld
probably spend upon all'of them. After
doing SO, we propose that be determine
to attend no more shows, but hand the
amount over to\a fund for building q
school-house. If they do this. we war
rant that majority of the persons who
do not patronize shows, will each give
fully as much, if not more, for the same
purpose ; and thus, large. good, and
sufficient school. house can yet be built
this season. We do not expec. this plan
will be accepted but we would like to
see it tried, as an experiment.

term, the County debt was decreased. al

Commissioners have turned the tide at

continue decreasing it at the same rate,
they could hand the County over to the
people clear of debt.

Accountability Harris, on trial in
Washington, for shooting Burroughs.
her false lover, has been acquitted. A
righteous verdict. She was poor girl.
without q protector. Burroughs, under
a promise of marriage, attempted to Sc
duce her; but failing, he deserted her, and
her reputation suffered in consequence.
She undertook to avenge her own wrongs,
and succeeded. A few such examples
made of villains like Burroughs, and no

law, would soon have q tendency to
break up species of crime that is Of
