AUDITING BoUNTY ACCoUNTS.-The

statement of the condition Of ,hese fuan-
ces, and publish the same, at the cost Of
the district, fur three successive weeks
in the two papers having the largest cir
culaiion in the city or county"
1t not only requires this duty to be
performed by the Township Auditors,
but it imposes penalty Of fifty dul!ars
upon each Auditor WHO refuses TO com
ply, one half Of which fine goes to the
prosecutor aad the other half to the
school fund OF the district. 1t provides
also that the Auditors shall notify School
Directors or other parties having the dis
bursemeut Of Bounty fluids, Gas Bounty
committees were sometimes appointed by
and acted for the people,) to appear be-
fore them at such time as the auditors
shall! fx, for the purpose of enabling the
Auditors to close up the Bounty accounts
Of the township of the fiscal year. The
Auditors are referred to the Pamphlet
laws Of 1866, page 1lS. We believe that
as yet, none of the districts in this county
have complied with the provisions of the
law Attention to this matter may save
trouble so"a litigation hereafter, ard wc
therefore direct attention 20 i.

Gagged HIS KEEPER.-The Milwau-
kee Wisconsin furnishes another in
stance of the outWitting of sane man
by crazy man. 1t says?
Recently a Milwaukee police officer
was detailed to take an insane man to
an asylum. The man went along qui-
etly until the end Of the journey was
reached, and instead of being deliver
ed to the officers Of the asylum, very
quietly delivered the astonished officer
who before he had an opportunity for
an explanation, found himself locked
up in a cell, and Was told that straight
Jacket awaited him if he made any de-
monstrations. The insane man went
away, having done his work in very
systematic manner, and was very soon
after boasting of what he had done.
The officer, as soon as he could get the
manager of the asylum to listen to him
made an explanation and sent for an
acquaintance, who very soon set mat
ters to rights. Search was made for the
insane man, and he was found detail
ing his exploits, and very soon taken
care of. The officer thinks he will look
a little sharper next time.

A LOGAN COUNTY QUAKER SEES
s.SUM DIN(sS''

Some months ago, quaker widower
of this country, concluded to bless him
self with second wife, chose one ac-
corGGngly from avery strong manhood
suffrage locality, and took her to his
home for an helpmeet. Happy! Thrice
happy Quaker! The golden hours on
angels wings flew o'er him and his
dearie. Fact. And they used to sit
together and read the Bellefontaine
Republican of Sunday evenings, and
under its soporific influence, ,doze and
nod in their chairs, and dream bright
dreams of niggerhood suffrage and the
Rump Congress. "Visions tits rapture
to recall" And sometimes in those
dreams they would imagine that the
word 'white' was stricken from the
Constitution, and start from their slum-
bers in ecstacies of joy. And thus the
pensive autumn receded before the
stern breath Of winter, and anon the
spring time came, "gentle Annie" and
with it hyacinths, and bird carols, and
into the household of our Quaker-A
Niger BABY, baby with the aO0rd
l0hjte stricken out! That's so! that's
what's the matter! Whether the
Quaker thinks more of it, or not quite
so much, as if it were of his own body,
is not known at this writing. We
have sent him the touching narra-
tive of Hill Flicker Smoker, by Brick
Pomeroy, so that if he is disposed to be
unhappy over his domestic arrange
ments, he can sing, "dat dam old Stone
wall Jackson song, who's pin here since
I'se been gomez" or, who's pin here
before came? as the case may be-
Let this little niger be christened Jay.

MEN AND WOMEN Men love things
as facts, possessions, and estates; and
women, persons; and while man re-
CARDS only abstract scientific facts; a
woman looks only at the person in
whom they are embodied. Even in
childhood the little girl loves an imita-
ton Of humanity-her doll-and works
for it; the boy gets hobby horse or
tools, and works with them. But the
noblest quality wherewith nature has
endowed woman for the good of the
world is love-that love which seeks no
sympathy and no return. The child is
the object of love, kisses and watching,
and answers them only by complaint
and anger; and the feeble creature that
requires the most repays the least. But
the mother goes on; her love only
grows stronger the greater the need
and the unthankfulness of its object
and while fathers prefer the strongest
of their children, the mother feels more
love for the feeble and garrulous.

: DEATH AT THE BREAKFAST TABLE.
Robert Bruce, a celebrated Scotch
minister, sat at his breakfast table one
morning. Having eaten a bold egg,
he turned to his daughter and said:
81 think l am yet hungry, you may
bring me another egg"
He then grew thoughtful a moment,
and, musing little, added
"Hold, daughter, hold! my Master
calleth me-"
Here his sight failed him, but calling
for Bible he requested his daughter to
place his finger on Romans 8, 38, 3d.
This being done he repeated the verse,
dwelling especially on 81 am persuaded
that neither life nor death shall be able
to separate me from the love of God,
which is il Christ Jesus my Lord. y
He then said:
"GOd be with you, my children. /
have breakfasted with you, and shall
sup with my Lord Jesus this night. !"
These were his last words, for, with
out shiver or a groan, he at once star
ted on his flight to everlasting glory.
Reader, you breakfasted with your
family circle this morning. Suppose,
like the good Mr.. Bruce, you should
die suddenly to day, with whom would
you sup tonight?

AN "Alabamian," in Mobile pa
per, who has been in Boston, thus hits
off the prohibitory law: "Boston seems
to be growing worse every day in in
tolerance. They won't allow a cilcus
to have horizontal bar, or band of
'tumblers.' Trance mediums are for
hidden to practice because they call in
theaid ofspirits, Opticians are watch
ed, because it is said people get their
glasses there. The London Punch
and Wilkes Spirits are forbidden to
be sold by the periodical dealers.
Apothecaries are forbidden to sell liq-
uorice.-People are not allowed TO eat
sour apples, and are liable to be arrest
ed for being in high spirits. Children
who complain ofstomach ache are lock
ed up for fear it might be shampaign.
Men are arrested on suspicion of being
distillers who are caught 'rectifying
Mistakes Hotels have had to take
rum omeiets' and wine sauce off their
bills of fare. All bookstores selling
histories containing an account Of the
Battle of Brandywine' are closed at
once. Dead people cannot be buried
on bier. Vessels are not to come in
to harbor, because they have to pass
a bar in doing SO; and sea captains are
not allowed to make any port in storm
if they do, they must tell where they
got it. Enterprising men dare not
show any public spirit ;-and even poor
washer-women can only dry two sheets
at time, as any one is liable to arrest
who has three sheets in the wind.'"

from the transitive verb abolish, which
Webster defines as follows: "Abolish-
|. To make void; toannul; to abrogate;
applied chiefly and appropriately to es-
tablished loaos, contracts, rites, customs,
and Institutions. |. To destroy" Now
let us see what our Abolitionists have
abolished, destroyed, annulleda and made
void:
They have abolished liberty.
They have abolished the Union.

courts.

form of government.

fraternity of the country.
They have abolished all respect for
written Constitution.
They have abolished the sacredness
of the church.
They have abolished the freedom of
speech.
They have abolished the freedom of
the press.
They have abolished the free dom of
opinion.
They have abolished all that the late
war was waged for.
They have abolished all that our fore
fathers fought for.
They have abolished gold and silver.
They have abolished equal rights to
all.
They have abolished equal taxation.
They have abolished economy and
honesty in the administration of the
government.
They have abolished low prices, cheap
living, good times and the general pros
perity.
They have abolished the cotton crop,
and the millions of gold resulting from
our exports.
They have abolished million oflives.
They have abolished from three to
six thousand million of treasure.
They have abolished our southern
market
They have abolished our commerce
upon the seas.
They have abolished our indepen-
dence of Eastern manufactures and iron
mongers.
They have abolished representation
as corrollary of taxation.
They haveabolished the United States
Senate.
They have abolished the United
States House of Representatives.
They have abolished the United
States.
With such a record and such achiev-
ments only to boast of what more appro-
pirate name could they bear than that
of "Abolitionists? ?"

PRESERVING POTAToEs.-A cores
pondent of The Scientific american says
that he has tried the following meth
cd of keeping potatoes for years with
complete success, though in some in
stances the tubers were diseased when
taken out of the ground: "Dust over
tn, floor of the bin with lime and put
in about six or seven inches deep ofpO-
tatOes, and dust with lime as before.
Put in six or seven inches of potatoes
and lime again; repeat the operation
until all are stored away. One bushel
oflime will do for forty bushels of po-
tatoes, though more will not hurt them
the lime rather improving the flavor
than otherwise"
