In the W tirstnamed districts the amounts
will probably be equal to the April School
bills but not for the two last named districts.
From the State app]ortioninent, payable in
July, it is probable that a sum in the vicinity
of one thousand dollars will be due Storey
County, and from other sources it is possible
that enough will come into the treasury to
swell the sum TO an amount equal TO the sup
port Of the Schools for one month. There
will then remain FIVE months to the first OF
November, for which means should be pro-
yided for the maintenance Of the Schools.
The estimated expenses for the several
School Districts per month, and for The entire
term Of five months, arc as follows:

PROPOSED SCHOOL TAX.
Special school Tax PROPOSALS BY the

RCNhN nv
School Trustees. .
To the electors, patrons Of the Puddle Schools
and friends Of education in Storey County:
In assuming the management Of the Pub
lie Schools, in their respective districts, the
undersigned found them in such a condition
of pccuniary embarrassment that il will be
necessary in their Judgment, either to close
the Schools on or about the LIST Of May proX-
imo, or to adopt prompt and efficient meas
ures to procure the necessary means Tor their
continuance to the LIST Of November, 1861,
when the proceeds Of the County School tax
for the following School year will begin to
hoy into the treasury. The undersigned
therefore consider it 4 duty they owe the
nublic 10 lay before you 4 few facts touching
the ~pecuniary condition OF the department,
its wants, aud the measures best adapted, IN
their Judgment, TO meet the emergency, and
respectfully solicit your consideration and
OF their plan to procure the requir-
cd means.
The law makes nc provision for borrowing
money 20 meet an emergency like the present.
Section So Of the School law provides that
The Board of Trustees Of any School Dis
,rict NAV when in their Judgment it is advis-
able, call an election, and submit to the quail
fled electors of the district, the question
whether n tax shall be raised to furnish ad-
di,ional school facilities for said district or 10
keep any school or schools in such district,
open for u longer period than the ordinary
funds will allow, or for building au addition
al school.house or houses, or for any two or
all these purposes"
II is the deliberate opinion Of the under
signed, tina, a special tax should be levied on
the property in the several School Districts
in the County, that will produce the sums
required.
The proceeds OF the School tax for the
present year have been expended in main
tanning the Schools to the present time, and
all the funds that now remain unexpended
in the County Treasury have been credited 10
the several School Districts as follows, to-wit:

THE LANSING WREcK.-Sinee the blowing
up Of the Lansing, the river has receeded
more than two feet and left the wreck high
and dry. The hull is found to be injured
much moreseriourly than had been supposed.
Several pieces of both boilers have been
found IN the river. 1t is now known beyond
all question tibet the larboard boiler was even
more badly shattered by the explosion than
was the starboard. Two tubes of the lar
board boiler were dragged up by Can't.
Mitchell, on Saturday, far out in the river.
The head of the same boiler was found mn
the river near the old mill. The piece of
boiler with safety-valve attached, mentioned
IN our first notice of the disaster as having
been blown three hundred feet distant into
field, has been identified IS being part
OF the larboard boiler.
These facts will awaken additional interest
IN the investigation soon to be made, by COM
petent authority, as to the cause Of the ex-
plosion stae has zta.. .aa

COOP BINBISG.-We were shown yesterday af-
ternoon a specimen of binding at the store of
Messrs. Devoe & Champion, which we venture to
say is rarely equalled and never surpassed by
work done in Chicago or elsewhere. The books
referred to are two general indexes for Whiteside
county, quit claim deed record for Carroll coun-
~ and a super royal sale book and chattel NOR
tgage record for Mercer county. These gentlemen
have lately made great improvements in their
binding and are consequently adding largely to
their list of customers. The department is under
the superintendance of Mr.-Young, who has al
ready proven himself fully qualified for the pos
ition.-Union
All very true-and nearly all the printing
for these jobs was also executed, in superior
style-at the Argus Office. That's the place
to get nice job done.

ing was singular. Her husband was away
at the apple orchard pruning trees, and no
one in the house except her only child, lit,
tlegirl about two years old. There Is q
small trap-door in the floor Of the honse
opening to the cellar but no stairs or ladder
under it. There is another entrance to the
cellar from the outside of the house. X.
Her husband returned to the house about
4 o'clock, and found the door locked, and
the house all carefully fastened up, except
the outside cellar door. He Immediately
entered the cellar and found his wife hang
ing by the neck, from the trap door through
the floor. He gave the alarm and Maj. L..
NJ. Buford ran to the spot and cut the rope
by which she was suspended. The body
was ifeless and cold, and itis believed that
she must have been hanging at least an
hour.
There was chair standing in the cellar,
within two or three feet of where she was
suspended. There are two holes through
this trap door, at some distance apart and
the rope was fastened by passing it through
these holes and shutting down the door. 1t
is believed that she fastened the rope and,
standing on this chair, measured the dis
lance, fixed the moose, then set the chair
aside, passed out through the outside cellar
door, into the house, carefully locked and
fastened the doors and windows, then raised
the trap door, and, adjusting the moose over
her neck, jumped down through this hole
pulling the door down after her. The fact
that her neck was not broken does not de-
stroy this theory for many judicial hangings
take place without breaking the neck. Her
death must have been horrible one. Her
ton que largely protruded from her mouth
and was so swollen that her teeth were firmly
imbedded into it.
An inquest was called by Justice Tillman,
and the jury returned a verdict that the wo-
man hung herself while laboring under TEN.
porary alteration of mind.
1t appears that she was not satisfied with
her worldly lot, and had, not very long
since. left her husband and gone to Chicago
| At heavy expense to him, he succeeded in
finding her and inducing her to return. He
is about her own age and seems to be very
clever, industrious, temperate man. Since
her return he received letter from his
| friends in Germany expressing regret at hel
course in leaving him, and this probably rem
dered her still more unhappy and dissatis
fled with her lot, though, to all appearances
| they lived pleasantly together She left q
memorandum for her husband, written il
German, on both sides of small piece o
paper. On one side the purport of it was
"Now try and get my daughter into my
present state, also. You are not her father
On the other side: "It is easy to put dowr
a child who has neither father nor mother
! brother nor sister," 1t is evident that 6
morbid brooding over her supposed hare
lot had impaired her mind. But it is strange
that she could have thought her lot hare
one, with every comfort necessary, and Blu
very little labor to perform.
Her body was buried on Sunday.

FAIRBANKS ScALEs.-About forty years
ago the Messrs. Fairbanks invented and
began manufacturing these scales, and
ever since then their business has steadily
increasedand they have kept far ahead of all
competition. During the last year they ad-
ded largely to their works, and their sales
were very greatly in excess of any former
year. This fact is unusual, if not unparall,
eled, in the history of inventions and bust
ness in this country, and proves clearly that
their scales are in all respects just what the
people want.

THE second game in the home and home
match between the Wapello B. B. c., and
the Moline club, was played in Moline, on
Saturday afternoon. The Moline club was
declared the winner by technically which
permits either party to call the game after
the 9Th innings, if the weather isunfavorable
for its continuance. At the close of the 9TH
innings, the Moline club being ahead, and
there being light rain, rendering the
ground rather slippery and playing difficult,
game was called, with the following result:

CONDITION OF THE SoUTH.-A newspaper
correspondent, writing from a southern city,
saws:
In the old flush times passenger on a
river boat accosted little negro boy with
an inquiry usual at that day?
'Who do you belong to?
Don't know, sir" answered the boy.
"Why don't you know?"
when / came aboard blongs to Massa
Sam White, but last night he went me ON
two little par, an de clerk OBJ de boat he win
me. Den Kunnel Sniff he beat de clerk on
a bluff, an he had me last, so dunno, Mas
sa, who blong to till de game close"
The south is in the same situation.
