INFAMOUS CoNDUcr.-On Friday some bows
asst is asserted, threw a goat into the fountain
under the 9th Ward room, where the poor
creature was drowned. This fountain supplies
all that neighborhood with pure water and
therefore, in consequence OF the impurty COM
municated to it by the dead goat the supply
on Saturday was cut off. A steam fire engine
was placed there Saturday, which pumped out
all the water, after which the fountain was
thoroughly fumigated.
1t, as is alleged, boys threw the goat into the
FOUNTAIN, we hope no pains or expense will be
spared to bring the young scoundrels to JUS
tice. Pure water is altogether too scarce an
article in this community to be hammered with

DEATH OF SEBA SMITH.-Seba Smith died
at his residence, The Willows" Patchogue,
l.. L. on Wednesday last, after long and pain
full illness, at the age of 70. He was born in
Buckfeld, Me-, September IA, 1892; graduated
at Bowdoin College in 1918, and subsequently
settled in Portland as writer for the periodi-
cal press. In 1928 he became editor of the Ar
gus, and continued on that paper some years.
In 1929 he published the first daily paper issued
in this State under the title of the Portland
Courier. In this paper he wrote the popular
series of humorous political letters under the
pseudonyme of "Major Jack Downing" first
published collectively in 1888, and which after
wards passed through several editions. He
was the original Jack Downing" although
the title was afterwards stolen by New York
writer. Mr.. Smith removed to New York in
1884, where, we believe, he has ever since re-
sided. While residing here he was known as
one of the most kind hearted of men, and of
irreproachable character,

So longas the Argus constantly disregards
the claims of truth it is no doubt too much TO
expect it to recognize the claims of conssten-
cy. Only few months ago it filed its col
umns with almost fulsome praises of Grant,
especially commencing the prudence and in
tegrity of his administration of the War De-
partment. Now it accuses him of being en-
gagged in fraudulent otton speculations. This
is an old story that has been floating in the
Democratic papers for several weeks, until the
complete refutations of it, SO far as the Gener-
al is concerned personally, have made them
ashamed to make further reference to it. The
Argus has just found the antiquated fable and
eagerly snaps it up.

boast of an educational monthly superior to
any published elsewhere in the Union. Mr..
Gage now devotes his entire time to editing
the Normal and the effects of his efforts are
plainly descernible in it's pages. The last
number is admirable for the value and variety
of its contents. The teacher, the scholar in
common schools and the college student may
each find something of value and interest in
his special department of labor. Among the
contributors to the August number are A. P
Stone of this city and DR.. N T. True. Among
other matter of local interest we notice brief
