Gov. Brongh and the Hundred
Day Men.

We would respectfully direct the atten-
tion of the reader to the article we this
morning reproduce from The Seneca Ad-
vertiser, in relation to Gov. BRoUGH and the
Hundred Day Men. The editorial part OF
1t Is evidently from the pen of Hon. WIN.
W.ARMsTRoSG, ex-Secretary of State. 1t
will be seen from this article, that the mo-
tive that prompted the rendering of the
services Of these men to the Administra-
tion, with the express stipulation that they
should not be credited on the draft, was to
finger some Of The zone million dollar APP
preparation passed by the Legislature to re-
pei invasion,r and that four hundred thou
sand dollars Of this appropriation were ex-
pended in the payment of hurriedly made
contracts. This circumstance does not
seem calculated to add anything to Gov
BRouGH's disinferested patriotism.

SENAToR HowELLs has written TO his pa
per, The 4shtdbula Sentinel, that the Senate
had amended the House bounty bill, SO as
to provide for State, instead Of a town
ship levy, and that ''this win relieve us Of
the bounty tax for the present, and equalize
as d State tax at the end.' The object Of
che bill, undoubtedly is to shove this tax
over on to the shoulders Of posterity-a

Too MANY WoMEY.-In bis message to the
Massachusetts Legislature few weeks ago
Governor Andrew called attention to the fact
that there are thirty thousand more women
than men in that State, and urged the necessity
OF taking some steps to equaIlze the sexes. As
the excess of men over women in this State Is
quite as large as that of women over men 10
Massachusetts, some OF our exchanges hint
that this would be q good market for the
women to come to. A great mistake. Here,
as in Massachusetts, there are too many un-
married women, in proportion TO their numbers,
for the public good, and the increase of mar
riageable females is much greater than that Of
the males who wish CT are in a condition to
marry. The truth is, as women are educated
now days, it is not safe for man 10 marry
until he has a competency. Girls are brought
up with outrageous notions of life. extrayagaut
in their ideas of dress, and think that the only
mission of woman, whether maid or wife. is
to make a display. With such notions instilled
into her from childhood up, and without any
practical knowledge of household economies
and duties, woman is not fitted for the wife
of any but a man well TO do 10 the world, -
and, as such are only about as one to forty Of
the whole Dumber, single blessedDess' is, as a
matter of course, the enforced lot of q large
portion OF both sexes. California is the poorest
country in the world for a woman to seek a
matrimonial or any other decent market and
Massachusetts will have to seek elsewhere to
fnd home and refuge for her surplus femala
populati0u.-Bee.

4 Story as is-I Story.

We are not much given = sensation articles,
but occasionally remarkable thing will come
under our notice, and ii would be sin to keep
it from the public
We cannot vouch for the truth Of the follow
ing story, told Us by sucker; but venture to
say that such things have been heard Of before
lin the Arabian Nights Eutertainment):
1T is Just twenty years ago yesterday, says
our narrator. "ttat party OF Us fellers went
over to Cahokia Creek or skating match.
The day was colder than ten ieeberCs all stuck
together. bat the ice was as smooth as glass
aud we made up our minds to have heap of
fun. Bill Berry was the leader Of the crowd
He was a tall SIX fooier, full of pluck, and the
best skater in all creation. Give Bill Berry a
good pair of skates and smooth sailing, and he
could make trip to Baffns Bay and back 10
twenty four hours, only stopping long enough
at Halifax to take drink. Well We got to
the creek and fastened our skates on; and after
taking a horn from Joe Turner's flask started
off in good style, Bill Berry IN the lead. As l
was telIin' ve, il was a 6oggoned cold day. and
so We had TO skate fssf e keep the blood M.
There were little bFcAth holes IN tba ice, and
every now and then We came near going into
EN-. Just as had fnisied bGeklin' the s;rans,
l hesrd noise looked up and saw some
thing shooting along the the ice Ike lightning.
1t was Bill Berry's head. He had been going
it like creased electricity and before he knew
it he went into one Of them holes. The force
was so great as to cut his head of against the
sharp corners. II is alldav with Bill Berry
said !, and all night, too said Joe Turner.
Just as be had got these words ont of his
mouth, looked at Bills head, which had been
going on the ice. and all at once it dropped in
to another hole. We ran to it, and | heard
Bill say: For Gods sake. boys, pull me ou, p
looked into the hole aud there as true as m
a sinner, was Bill Berry's body which had
skated under the ice, aud met the head at the
hole 10 the ice. 1t was so laundering cold
that the head had froze to the body, and we
pulled Bill ont as good as new. He elt lit
tie numb at first but after skating a while he
was as brisk as the rest OF US, and laughed over
the joke. We went home at dark, all satisfied
with the DAYS sport. About nine O'Clock in
the evening somebody raped at the door, and
said was wanted over TO Bill Berry's. | put
on my coat and went over There lay Bill's
body in one place. and bis head in another.
His wife said that aiEs he came home from
skating, he sat down by the fire to warm him

threw his head into the fire place. The coro-
ner was called that night, and the verdict of
the jury was that Bill Berry came TO bis death
