THE COMMITTEES appointed By the
Common Council to Investigate the history Of
our city bonds, are doing good work, and as
their report shows, have already begin to throw
light on what has heretofore been dark and
mysterious subject to the most of our citizens
1t seems that after city had voted upon
and approved of the law passed in March, So,
by which the proper management of the bust
hess would have been insured another act was
passed in July following allowing the Common
Council to have the control of the whole mat
ter, and the result was that our bonds were
given ont in such way that we received Meth
er conside- alton nor security therefor Mr..
Chappell, when asked where The Railroad
stock was, which had been received in return
for our bonds when he was Mayor, replied
coolly that it does not matter as they are val
ueless, and even when received, a thousand
dollars in bonds would not have bought him
dinner-indicating either the expensive char
acter Of his diet or the worthlessness of the
consideration for which he had surrendered our
bonds. The invests CATION is goi on and we
shall lay the result bef)re our readers as fast as
obtained.

Eyuhernnf Health

Is blessing vouchsafed to few. Even those
who have been favored by nature with strong
constitutions and vigorous frames are apt to ne
glect the precautions necessary to preserve
these precious endowments. Indeed, as a rule,
the more healthy and robust man is, the more
liberties he is inclined to take with his own
physique. 1t is some consolation to the natu-
rally weak and feeble to know that they can
be so invigorated and built up, by proper use
of the means which science has placed at their
disposal, as to have much better chance OF
long life and exemptions from disease and pain,
than the most athletic of their fellows who are
foolish enough to suppose themselves inTulnera-
bic; and act accordingly.
1t is not too much to say that more than half
the people OF the civilized world need an occa-
sionaI tonic TO enable them to support the strain
upon their bodies and minds, which the fast
life of this restless age occasions. In fact, a
pure wholesome, une1citsng tonic is the grand
desideratum of the busy millions. and they have
the article in HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BIT
TIERS. It is a sTAMINAL MEDICINE, a. E. 1t I'M
parts permanent strength to weak systems aud
nvigorates delicate constitutions. Its reputa-
ton and it's sales have steadily increased.
Competitive preparations have been introduced,
Gd Hbatsnn, and, as far as tn public is con-
cerned, dd nauSeana, IN the hope OF rlValln2 1T /;
but they have all either persisted in the at
tempt, or been left far in the rear. 1t has been
the GREAT MEDICAL SUCCESS OF THE PRESENT CEN
TURY, and it is quite certain that no proprietary
medicine IN this country is as widely known,
or as generally used.
Ten lightning presses, running necessarily
Sundays excepted) the whole year through,
barely supply the demand for the Illustrated
Al anac, in which the nature and uses of the
preparation set forth, the circulation now
being over five millions q year.

THE Posi- MASTER QUESTION -Wh
shall be our Postmaster for the nexdfour years,
IS question which is now being vigorously
discussed among our citizens. A very little
observation, however, convinces US that those
IN favor of retain ing our present popular and
efficient Postmaster are largely in the MAORI
~. It is admitted by all that his management
OF the Office has been entirely satisfactory to
every one interested. All business connected
with the office since his appointment has been
conducted with correctness and the utmost
despatch. Mr.. Moak has also shown most
commendable desire to accommodate the pub
lie by moving the Office to a central locat ion
at material pecuniary loss to himself, as he
IS now obliged to pay much larger sumfor rent
than the Government allows, whereas he
might have kept the office where it was when
he was appointed and saved this extra expense
to himself. By this public spirit and enterprise
on his part we are furnished with large, roony
and well arranged Post Office which the G ty
could never boas Of before, and which, as we
have often heard it remarked, is one of the best
conducted and most convenient offices in the
State.
AS far rs the management of the office is
concerned, absolutely no complaint be
made, and, while we have no objection to make
10 his opponent, we are wholly unable to see
why an active and reliable Republican, who
has labored long nd earnestly for the success
Of the party and V no has had the Office less than
two years should be removed to give place to
another whose claims on the score Of party
scrFices are certuinly in no wise superior TO
Dir. aoak's and who has already enjoyed the
Office six years.

CAUSE AND EFFECT.-Colds are the effect of
INSTRUCTED perspiration. The symptoms are so
generally understood, that nothing need be
said on that point. But colds are easily taken,
and unless great care is exercised a second cold
will often be contracted, OF in other words, one
cold will into another, and confirmed
cough ensue, bringing straining and rack
ing of the lungs and the production of tuber-
cle8. Although many thousands ofper5onS are
drifting through these symptoms towards pull
monary diseases of dangerous character, yet
the majority think that they are troubled with
nothing but an ordinary cold, which will rem
edy itself and pass away. Fatal delusion-the
rock on which many life has been lost. See

The regularity of attendance has been much
| impaired by the absence Of large number of
scholars during the first month of the term.
These schola: were kept from school for hop
picking and other work. 1t is TO be greatly

children to stay from school for the purpose
of q earning patry sum OF money, to the
detriment of their intellectual progress. With
the exception of this drawback, the publ C
schools have been in a very prosperous con-
ditlon during the whole term l must not
omit to remark here that the Public Evening
school, which has been in session for the last
two and half months, has been complet

the scholars Jealous and Industrious, and pur-
sued their studies with such q perseverance,

A HARD CAsE.-An accident occurred
on the farm of Mr. Buck who lives about
two miles from this city on the Milford road
few days since which combines the ludicrous
and erious to a degree seldom experienced
It appears that Mr. Buck was digging we'll
aided by man named Earnest Stopplefeldt,
who has for several years worked about town.
and is well known to the most of our citizens
Stopplefedt had lost leg in the army, but was
en- industrious man and with the aid of small
tension had prospered in business. On this oc-
casion, however being fortified with strong
dose @, f'bitters he eSsayed an undertaking which
most men with two legs would have declined
it was no less than 20 discard the windIass
and let Buck down into the well by the rope,
holding it in his hands. Back stepped into
the box, which Of itsel If was q good load, and
was lowered a few feet safely, when Stopple-
feldt's wooden leg, hay ing poor hold on the
icy ground, slipped and Buck finished the bal
ance of the twenty-four feet already untrave-
ed without delay, while Stopplefeldt followed
him head first, and, instead of breaking his neck,
broke what he could spare but little better, his
only leg, We are sorry to learn that it will
be necessary to amputate the leg TO save his
life. Buck was also badly hurt upon the head
and internally, and his recovery is considered
