In Johnstown, where nearly all the Poor
House business lies, and as you, gentlemen.
very well know that the result of this action
will be to very largely increase the expenses
of the Poor House, and otherwise to greatly
embarrass the institution, l decline to en-
counter these new difficulties, and hereby re-
sign into your hands the charge of the Poor
House. Please, gentlemen. select a compe-
tent person to take charge of the House as
soon as may be convenient to all parties con-
cerned.
Accept, gentlemen, my sincere thanks for
your long continued confidence and kindness.
Yours, &C., JAMES j. KAYLOR.
Mr.. Daly-I regret that this step has been
taken. l hope that it will be reconsidered
Mr.. Kaylor-My action in this case is the
result Of mature delberatiop. My resolution
is final.
Mr.. Byrne-In this view of the case
move that this paper be placed upon the
minutes and published in all the county pa
pers.
Mr. Daly-I object This is to advertise
for Steward. i will never consent thus to
send the Office begging.
Mr.. Kaylor-From a very different view
of the case, will ask Mr.. DAILY to withdraw
his objection, and allow these proceedings
to be published.
After some discussion Mr.. Byrue's motion
was adopted, and the Directors order the pro-
ceedings to be published.
DREADFUL CASE OF DRowNING.-A pleas
ure boat containing four ladies and four gen
tlemen, capsized in Bar Harbor, off Mornt
Desert Island, on the gath ult., and all on
board were drowned. Among the victims
were Rev. Robert B Chase and wife, of
Philadelphia, who spent a portion of two
seasons in EbenShurg, and who had acquired
the respect of all our citizens by their affa-
bic demeanor and unUstentatious piety.-
Their dear little child has been rphaned by
this sad occurrence.
In connection with this awful catastrophe
the Portland Star relates the following heart
reRdiag incident: When the unfortunate
boat was about leaving on her trip, Mr.. and
Mrs. Clark proposed to take their little girl.
about six years old, with them, but the child
persistently refused to go. and begged her
parents to remain behind. She clung to her
mother and begged her with sobs of grief
not TO go. But they regarded her fears as
childish. and kindly gave her in charge of
ir ends, and started on their excursion. TIE
little one cried as ii her heart would break,
and when the steamer left 10 one had dared
to cell her Of the ~ tul calamity. She won>
deUs why her pa-eits have not retu ned
and runs to meet every boat that comes to
The shore, only to return w-tsh deep disap-
poiata!cnt. and every passing cIrriage is
eagerly examined to sae If it has brought
her terrible affliction.

Editor freeman-In reading your paper
to day | noticed an error in ''Sku Bal's"
letter that does not do justice to the Inde-
pendent. Jr., B. 3. Club of this place. He
is mistaken as regards the challenge-the
Juniors having challenged the Monitors of
Indiana. "Great preparations were not
made, although they were surprised to see
our Juniors. The score of the game in Indi-
ana was 27 20 81. or three TO one, while the
score of the Somerset Club here was only 16
TO 70. or more than four to one. The Inde-
pendent, Jr.. is a pretty good Club. and
stood a better game than the Glade Club, if
it is composed Of boys.
You will confer favor on the Juniors if
you will correct II e mistakes made by ''Sku
Bal" Yours. respectfully.

from the East reporting the forming of
q huge corner, the market became very
excited, and prices went up to the high

to which no date was fixed, appeared to

FINANCE AND TRADE.
The situa,ionin New York

From the Uorld: There has been a
decrease in the pressure for money dur
ing the week, and the market seems to
have accommodated itself to the drain
for greenbacks to move the crops usual
at this season of the year, and also to
the drain which the Treasury Depart
msnt still brings TO bear upon the
banks. Mr.. McCulloch not only per-
sists in keeping back from the people
in his official statement the information
which, by act of Congress, they are en-
titled to, but he has issued circular
forbidding news to be furnished by any
one connected with the Department
to the public press without his con-
sent, given Ill Washington. Mr..
McCulloch justifss this action by saying
that so many misstatements, injurious
to the public credit, and tending to de-
range the financial condition of the
Government, have been put forth that
no has been compelled to restrict the
information for the press to his own
immediate office. The weakness that
prompted this most injudicious order is
only exceeded by the weakness of rea-
soning which justifics it. If the public
credit is injured, and the financial con-
dition of the government deranged by
misstatements, is it possible that Mr..
Nee ulloch, the virtual ruler of market
values in the United States, is
incapable of discerning that the
fault rests with him alone' The
evil is in his own policy of official
and semi official conceslment, and not
with what the underlings in his de-
partment may say. If Mr.. McCullech
gave his fellow citizens daily, in an of
fetal form, the information which the
unrepealed act of Congress which ere
ated the Sub-Treasury requires, then
measurements would be impossible.
This is plain business matter, and dr.
McCulloch will do well to give it his
attention. The people want to know,
and have by act of Congress- the right to
know, daily, in the statements
of the Assistant Treasurer. at this
