la her speech before the Woman's
Rights Convention at Cleveland, Mrs.
LIvERMoRE related that while engaged
in some hospital work during the war,
she desired the signature of the Governor
of Illinois TO an important paper. After
hari searching she found him piled up
in the Jsck room OF o saloon, dead
drunk. "Aits: wards" she remarked in

Seuator for six years" Out of respect
to the "loya" people present, she kind

of YATES. Subsequently she showed
that while in the field she wanted the
signature Of prominent military nan,
aud could not find him because he was
away from his post attending to a big
drunk. "Afterwards," she observed,
"we made that man President of the
United States" Which being interpret

Boutwell, n. a s.oId Operator

boutwell, threw lot of gold on the
market Tuesday. Bids were made for
it, but the price not suiting him he re-
fused 10 sell. Tho highest bidders
claimed their gold, bat the Secretary
con;ended that he could not, consistent t
with his duty to the Government, as-
cept the prices offered. One of the bid
dcrs denounced this as "a mere tech.
nicality of which nobody but thimble.
rigger would take advantage Such q
proceeding among private individuals
woald certainly be deemed dishouora-
Bile. How that conrse which would dis
grace private dealer can DO creditable
to the Government, is for Mr. boutwell,
to show.
Certainly the time has been when he
was controlled by no such intense
anxiety for the public interest. At the
time of the receet bull movement, when
gold went up to '65, Mr.. boutwell,, by
proper management, could have sold
large quantities at fne premiums and
thus made a handsome thing for the
Government. But he did not at that
time seem to care very much about the
general interest. He preferred to oper-
ate for the benefit of the bears as against
the bulls. Instead of allowing the
spectators to take care Of themselves,
he rushed to the rescue Of the losing
side and forced the premiuR down
thirty cents in an hour, without realiz
ing a dollars profit out of the situation.
Now it's all right for the Secretary to
be careful of the interests in his charge,
but to disregard them at one time and
then to plead them at another, 0s may
suit his purposes or policy, strikes Us as
being anything but reputable.

Love and Denih in Albany.

A well known young widow, says the
Albany Knickerbocker, was found at the
cemetery in the west bounds of Albany
Her husband recently died, and so deep,
ly had she mourned his loss that her
friends began to feel that her mind Gas
disordered. About one o'clock on Tues
day night she was missed from her home.
Her friends, thinking she had gone to
the cemetery, pursued their way thither,
and strange to say, there they found the
unfortunate woman prostrate upon the
grave of her husband, praying and cry.
ing, and almost perished from cold. She
resisted all efforts to remove her by per-
suasion, and it was only by force that
she was compelled to relinquish her po'
sition at the grave of her departed hus
band and protector. Her attachment
was apparently stronger in death than
in life, for her poor mind had become
disorderrd, almost hopelessly.

Annie James, of Alton, Illinois, is de-
scIibed as the most beautiful girl that
ever found lodgment on the Mississippi
river. She has an eye like a gazelle;
teeth like the purest ivory; hair like a
ve1ed mass of golden feathers; hands SC
white and shapely that TO see them is to
want to kiss them, aud TO kiss them is
destruction; n smile like summers
sunrise, aud laugh like the tones OF
silver bells on frosty night. Well
this is what Annie did: She came down
from her room and found two of heI
lovers noisily disputing as to their re-,
spective claims to her company to bal
that evening. Tie anger of the beauti
full maiden was aroused at this exhibi'
tion in her fathers halls, and, seizing
the belligerent youths by their back
hair, she knocked their heads together
with great force half dozen times, and
then thrust them out of the front door
with the admonition never to show then
faces there again.

The Tuukers.

! The Rockingham (Va.) Register gives
an interesting account of the religions
and social customs of the Tunkers, in
which it says: "There are no means by
which we can ascertain the number ol
communicates in the Tunksr Church
If we are not mistaken they do not keep
any record. We are satisfied, however,
that the number of Tunkers in this
county must reach 5000 or 1000. The
society is growing rapidly. The title
Tunker, we believe, was first applied
derisively, and is taken from dipper.
They are German Baptists, but do not
refuse to accept the title Tunker. We
doubt not that in the course of time
almost the entire agricultural portion
of our valley will be peopled with them.
And We will suffer nothipg from such q
result. They are excellent farmers, and
always ready to bring to their assist.

CLEVELAND.
The Buell. Bank Defaication-Repor
ofthe Total Defaica.
ttou ~ 4 600.

CLEVELAND, December 2-The Board
of Directors of the Second National
Bank have completed the examination
of its books and accounts, and this
morning made pubic an official state.
Went of the extraordinary defalcation
of e. Buell., late cashier, concerning
which there has been great excitement
in the community and financial circles
throughout the country. They say that
during Mr.. Buell's long connection with
this bank as teller and cashier, he had
the full confidence of the Directors and
customers of the bank, but now We fiud
that confidence has been Systematically
betrayed. The present amount and con-
dition of his defalcation and abstrac-
tions were in q memorandum prepared
by him just previous to his death and
left for the information of the directors,
which we believe, after a careful inves-
tigation, to be correct. This shows
that he had abstractsd from the reserve
fund, which was in his personal charge.

New York drafts not shown on our books

dent So, 900, carried under false entry;
loan to the city ef Cleveland $l00. 900;
draft on New York with which United
States bonds were purchased, but not
yet found, probably abstracted, $50, 900;
o.2Os, property of the bank, abstracted,
$1,000. He had also distracted from Sc
curities held as colisterals and on depos-
it with the bank, United States bonds
to the amount of $4,000, add pre-
MUM on Government bonds, say
$4,000, gives the aggregate of
his defalcstion $4,000. He
had also discounted one class of paper
to the amount of $50, 900 more than was
known 10 or authorized by the direc.
tors, and in which, since his death, it
appears be was interested. These dis
counts were concealed from the Board
by his taking the paper himself
from the bills offered for discount,
which passes daily before the Board,
and placing them Immediately in the

The career of Mr.. Buell. was brought
to termination by the fact that the
Examining Committee of the Board,
appointed when the last dividend was
made, had agreed that on Monday, the
day of his death, they would commence
their regular examination. The false
entries. so far as we can ascertain, as he
himself states, were all made on plausi-
bic grounds, and he being the coniden-

WHEAT.-In this immediate section
of country the wheat in the ground is
looking well. oninquiry we learn that
there is fully as much sown this year
as last. How is it throughout this
Statei Will readers of the REGISTER
give the information. rg.i.
SuMAC-Last week we published q
Communication addressed to us by o
gentleman of Liverpool. England,
showing the superiority of Virginia
sumac over that of any other country or
section. In a,portion of the mountain
regions of this State, this crop may be
made a profitable one. 1t grows Wild
and may be had for the gathering.
When at Berkeley Springs last Summer,
we were entertained, during morning
stroll, by an old farmers account of the
manner ofcnltivating sumac as field
crop. He said they would clean off a
piece of ground-(upon which, by the
way, nothing grows except scrubby
pines andstunted huckleberry bushes)-
plow it and SOW and harrow in the seed
of the sumac. This is done in the Fall I,
after the manner of putting in crop of
wheat. The next Summer the sumac
is graded or moved, cured and threshed.
The big stems only are thrown ont, the
leaves, new growth, blossoms and all
are then sacked for shipment to market.
He represented that from one to two
tons could be taken from an acre, and
would bring s35 to $40 per ton at the
barn. Fer the second and third crops,
no blowing or sowing is needed, as the
sprouts come up from the roots thick
and rank. After the third year the
ground should be plowed as the stocks
get too large and hard to cradle. BY
this time the sumac has created rich,
loose, black soil, equal to the best red
clover sod, and fine crop CT W heat may
be produced.
Won't some one in Morgan, Mineral
or Hampshire give the readers of the
REGISTER some further information on
this subject. 1t occurs to US that this
is important.
