There were others to be cared for
at the expense of the State.

These amounts are simple gratu,
tiles to needy hangers on of the
party.
Not to be partial, the messenger
boys of both Houses were voted
fifty cents day extra pay each
for every day ofthe session.
For the purpose of still increas
ing the allowance to the clerks, ser.
geant-at- t-arms and messenger boys
=-earh of whom either represented
or was himself in person somt
needy partisan - the Legislature
conceived the happy expedient oi
voting mileage to each of these en-
pIoyees, for the three days session
of 1868! There is no constitution
al warrant for such an appropria-
ton; but was not the constitution
IN the hand of its friends?
But this is not all: There were
legislative committees traversing
the State in every direction, some
with clerks some with sergeant-at-
arms, on all sorts ofbusiness, junk
citing and feasting at the expense
of different towns Visited by them;
und travelling on free passes, but
drawing on the State with undevi-
ating Regularity five dollars day
for salaryi and large sums of ex-
penses they wefe not at. These
committees drew for the interim
between the sessions of 1868 and
1869, the sum of eight thousand
nine hundred and ninety-one dol
lars and eighty4two CENTS five
times as much as has been eXpend-
ed in the same way during the last
ten years. They were composed
mainly of faVorite sons of the Dem
oUratic party, With sufficient Repub-
licans to give theih character and
responsibility.
Several large items If expense
are not included in any of the fore
going statements. The cost of
lights, fuel; paper, printing, bind
ing, distributing laws, documents
&c, properly belong to expenses
personal to the General Assembly.
With the longest session ever
known, tile bills for fuel and lights
must be largely increased with the
largest volumes of general laws ev-
er issued, the expenses of station
cry, printing and binding will not
be small; to these must be added
an extraordinary number special
matters, report Of committees DC,
&c.

able, not SO much for their gross

lHe eAceSS was piaCeu upon the

FLYING Foxes.

After h0bbling n horses with q stirrup-
leather on some good grass on the top OF
Blacks mountains, we proceeded down its
rather PERCEPTIONS sides, and 300 our eyes
were as much astonished as they were
gladdened by the sight Of many acres Of
trees literally black with foxes. More than
half ofour company commenced operations;
bur after about q quarter of an hours ire
mendous slaughter we had the mortifica-
ton TO see that nearly every one
of the flying foxes was on the wing,
aud q wonderful sight il WIS. The bush
was about a milo and n hall long, aud the
whole length and breadth of it was
nothing but a vast cloud of foxes, wheeling
aud hobbling, aud "bobbing round" and
round. At the lowest calculation there
could not have been less than fifty thous-
and, and | believe If that number were
doubled it would be nearer the truth. Our
party had By this time got pretty well
spread all over the ground, and for some
time, wherever two or three Of the foxes
tried TO flsten on a tree, they quietly came
10 grief, and some Of the party brought
them down on the wing. This exciting
state of affairs lasted until a little past
noon, whom the call sounded of come to
camp" The call was quickly complied
with, and ample Justice was done 10 the
eatables provided. After half IN hours
rest, away we started, and now "the fun
grew fast and furious" The foxes were
completely tired with their unusual exer-
tons Of the morning, and would only fly
from tree to tree, and in many instances
from one side of the trel TO the other, and
all that the sportsmen had to do was TO
load and fire, which they did as fast as
their guns would allow them, many ofthem
having to apply wet handkerchief, TO their
guns, which they rubbed to keep cool,
being afraid that they would blow thepow-
der of while they were loading; but it
would be impossible to give you any idea Of
the shooting done for the next few hours,
of the wild enthusiasm which was felt
by nearly all the party, but like every other
enjoyment and excitement, sven that must
come TO an end; and shortly before Ave
o'clock, knowing the distance We had 10 re-
urn home, and the darkness of the night,

Wonderful Escape from Death.


IRON inc NOW York Sun, June 20
On Thursday afternoon a child. six years
OF age, began sliding on the balusters Of
the stairway in the fifth story Of the build
ing ID Chambers Street. Tho staircase il
a spiral one, and the space between its coils
is not more than four foot wide. Looking
down the stairway from the top of the
building to the ground floor, seems like
looking down a deep we'll. While endeayor-
ing to slide down the baluster, the child fell
striking on the stairway from side 10
side as she went down, fully fifty feet.
The little girl struck the floor glass at
the bottom with such force that her head
went through and she was pulled out by
the heels. The mother and friends rushed
TO the bottom of the staircase, expecting 20
find the body mangled beyond recognition,
but found the child alive. DIR. Il. G. Ba-
ker, of Chambers street, was summoned,
and ascertained that her injuries were not
serious, though the scalp bore several deep
gashes from the breaking of the thick floor
glass. Yesterday morning, TO the aston.
ishment Of all, the child was walking about
very sprightly, and was doing we'll. She
goes to Albany with her parents to-day.

consisting of man and wife and two chill
dren, reside about four miles east ofMr. ii.
Boone's, near Edwards. The man left
home in the morning for work, and on re-
turning atnight found no one at home, and
made search for them. Knowing that his
wife intended to go to a neighbours during
the day, living on the opposite side of the
creek, lie proceeded TO the place they were
in the habit Of crossing. We are informed
that the family were in the habit ofcrossing
the stream on q raft made for the purpose,
Nothing wa to be seen of wife or children,
but 4 small bundle found at the waters
edge was convincing proof that they had
went there for the purpose Of crossing, and
forced the unwelcOme thought upon the
mind Of the husbend and father, that his
loved ones had, perhaps, met a watery
grave. The noighbors knew nothing of
their whereabouts, and under the circum-
stances were forced to the conclusion that
they were drowned. The next day the citi-
zens of the neiPhborhood turned out and
dragged the creek for the purpose of fnd-

and one of the children found In a pile of
driitwood. On Monday the search was re-

Of the extent of damage done were. current

be considered correct: About 3 O'Clock yes
terday afternoon, an excursion train, having
on board Ben Wade and a party of Com
gressional notables and other distinguished
persons, when nearing tho crossing of the
Laramie River bridge, some three miles
west of Laramie City, ran into q large herd
Of cattle. All the cars, some Eve in num-
Der, we're thrown from the track, and the
tender was completely smashed. One per-
son, the brakeman was killed. Several OF
the passengers sustained some bruises,
none Of them, however, of a serious nature.
Eleven head of cattle were killed. The
delay Of the regular train, due here last
evening at Z o'clock, was oc~casioned by the
time consumed in the removal of the wreck
from the track. II arrived about 4 O'Clock
