corporation ON the 3oth OF June, 1870, the sum
These were the estimates, and now what are
the facts? The total amount collected has been
$4,000; there remains due on the general as
realized, and therefore may be considered as
assets. MIR. Bowen Acknowledges an indebted
ness Of S2f3, 800. In outstanding dishonored
checks of the corporation we have an additional
$4,000 There Is due the First National Bank
the sum OF $50 600. The reserved fund for the
redemption Of ten-year bonds amounts to
$4,000. There is an indebtedness to corpora
ton laborers, employed for election purposes
Of probably $50 600, making total in liabil-
tiles of sos 800. To meet this immense indebt-
edneesOe have a. available assets only 500, 600;
handsome little surplus, we find the corpora
ton with a floating debt OF more than half a
million Of dollars, and nothing whatever to show
are hawked about the streets at eighty cents
on the dollar, with no buyers. l'A true bili."l

financial circles, are almost worthless, or have

Tor want Of funds; judgments ranging from i've

are levied almost daily; the Mayors comfort
and dignity are constantly endangered BY threats
to seize his once furniture; while the citys real

fearful Of the effect of sale under such cir,

LOVE AND BE HAPPY.

1t is the easiest thing in the world to
be happy if men and women would only
think so. Happiness is only another
name for love for where love exists,
in a household there happiness must also
exist, though has poverty fora close COM
panion. Where love exists not, even
though it be in a palace, happiness can
never come. He was cold and selfish
being who originated the saying that
"When poverty comes in at the door,
love files out at the window" and his
assertion proves conslusively that he had
no knowledge of love; for, unquestiona-
bly,, the reverse of the axiom quoted is
nearer the truth. When poverty comes
in at the door, love, true love. is more
than ever inclined to tary and do battle
with the enemy. Let those who imagine
themselves miserable before they find
fault with their surroundings search in
their own hearts for the true cause. A
few kind words or little forbearance
will often open the way to food of
sunshine in a house darkened by the
clouds of discord and unamiability.

\ The GREATEST MEN.-Beecher gays:
Aaron Burr was keener thinker than
George Washington. lie was more in
genion5 man, tar more active man, and,
if he had been moral man, and had
maintained moral relations With himself,
with his fellowmen, and with the laws
of rectitude, he would have been an ADLER
man. Washington was man of good
sense, bnt he was not man of genius in
any direction except that of conscience.
He was man of singular equity, of great
disinterestedness ana Of pure and upright
intent Sagacious be was. by the light
which comes from integrity. He endur-
ed, having faith to believe that right was
right, that right was safe, and that right
in the end would prevail. That which
made Washington the only great hero of
our revolutionary struggle, was the light
of the moral element in him-not any in
tellectual genius which he possessed; not
any rare tacg in administration; nor any
remarkable executive power. And if you
look back upon those names is our his
tory that have best stood the test, you
will find that they have been men who
were fruitful in highest moral elements.
And as time goes on, those men who lack
these elements sink lower and lower,
while the others rise till they reach the

The following anecdote of Beecher has
just been made public 1t seems he had
observed the injustice of obliging men to
work on Sundays, and preached a sermon
On it. Next day he entered into CONVEX
sation with car driver, while riding
down to Fulton Ferry, and asked him if
he did not think some plan might be
adopted to dispense with the need of run
ming the cars all day Sunday. The driver
being in entire ignorance of the name and
nature of his interrogative friend, made
frank reply: "Yes, sir, | think there
might bat there's no hope of it, so long
as they keep that - Beecher's theatre
open in Brooklyn. The cars have to run
to accommodate that" 1t is hardly ne
cessary to add that the drivers remark
was ''home thrust" and was considered
so good that Beecher told of it him
self.

SURFACE MANURING.--A practical far
mer writes Many farmers, in the hurry
of spring business, or, if not shcrs Of
time or short of meansto get ma
mare. are tempted to pus in crops
sometimes in land which is not as
rich as it should be. Sometimes they
are able to remedy this in few weeks,
but then think it is TOO late. When it
is suggested that they spread the manure
on the surface, they think of the great
amount lost b. eyaportion. But figures
have shown that instead of loss there
is gain by surface manuring, There Is q
small loss but the gain is made up by
the increased advantage which the roots
gather from manure when at the surface
When low down in the earth, and ex-
c,uded from the air, manure is of very
little service to plants. 1t needs the ae-
ton of the atmosphere to prepare If for
plant food, and this is ire great compen-
sation for the small loss which escapes
into the atmosphere on a dry ar windy
day."

WHOLESALE SHOOTING AFFRIY.
Three Men and Woman Shot by an In
furiated Saloon Keeper in Rochester.

Between nine and ten o'clock on Sum
day night a wholesale shooting ARRAY
occurred at drinking saloon in Good
man street, in the town of Brighton, Just
over the city line. kept by one Orren
Peters. Joseph Keller, Fred: Keller and
Charles Sens and his wife were shot by
Peters. Joseph Keller is dangerously
wounded There are different stories re-
garding the aftay. Peters alleges that
some Of the above named persons, with
others who were not wounded, came to
his house for the express purpose of ma
king d fuss that with the aid of hiJ
wife he turned them out Of doors, when
they commenced throwing stones through
the windows, placing the life and limbs
Of the inmates in peril. Becoming ex-
asperated, he seized shotgun, which he
kept loaded, and went to the door and
fired at his assailants. The result was
fearful. Joseph Keller was shot in the
groin and hip, Fred. Keller in haud, and
Sens and his wife in the legs severely.
After firing he reloaded his gun, putting
in large quantity of shot but his as
sailaass fleeing, lie did not fire again.
News of the ARRAY was sent to the
police, and Captain Sullivan and Major
Cleary of the force repaired to the spot
and arrested Peters. The officers found
the place nearly wreck, the floor COW
cred with stones asNl other missiles which
had been thrown in through the windows.
The Drs. Preston attended the injured
parties. Peters says he did not intend to
shoot any Of the party. He fired low,
with the intention of Tightening them.
On Monday warrant was obtained for
George Farber, Joseph Seigler, Charles
King, Jacob Weinberg, Joseph Keller
and George Keller, and all of them, ex-
cept Joseph and George Keller, who are
wounded, were arrested by detective Rog-
ers and policeman Burehell. They also.
took into custody several other persons
who were present az the shooting and al
legged participants in the row. The de.
PENDANTS claim that the shooting was done
before any stones were thrown at the
house, and Immediately after they were
put out of doors by Peters.
Sens and his wife were Slightly injur-
ed. They were at Peters place when
the party named above entered.
Joseph Keller is reported in vory
bad condition.-Ne,o York Pcper.
