An attempt has recently been made by the
Boston Lyceum Bureau TO engage LOUIS Kossura
to give . series OF lectures in the United States
The gentleman who visited him in July in the
city Of Turin describes him as "a mild, sedatc,
rather diguifed-looking gentleman of probably
sixty years Of age" when the proposition was
made TO him. he regretted that it was not in his
power TO entertain II, averring that he had en-
trcly retired from public life, and was now q
rccluse from worldly aF'irs. Being told that the
proposed lectures would not require him to dis
cuss politics, but only social and literary topics,
and that the engagement would give him OPP
portunty 10 compare the America of to-day with
what he @w twenty years ago he said; al dislike

want nerve; and MS fer addressing a number OF
people, ! have almost forgotten what public
speaking is.' To the suggestion OF pecuniary
advantage from the proposed engagement, he
said IL have very little money, but have very
few wants, and l am contented." From this
determination the veteran patriot could not be
moved. But, no doubt if he could have been
induced to come here, he would have been .
most popular lecturer.

We again see him promenading the
streets Of our generally called moral
to,cn, and (nearly all the leading e,tisens)
congratulating him upon his safe ar
rival and the peculiar gifts he possess
es for passing through most oil the
great ordeals OF lite, in SO short q
time; also, in accordance with pre-
yious announcement and with your
permission, | viii attempt at least to
discover the principals involved, as
well as the motives actuating those
leading eit'sens SO promptly and ener
getically securing the pardon Of SAID
Camery. And, in order to get at it
with some degree Of precision, we
must chronicle some of the daring
feats performed by our host since the
Goth day OF November last; imagine
Deputy Treasurer so to the office
after supper, Or about that time, take
4 knife, cut his hand, stab himself sew.
eral times through the clothes in his
side, take himself by the throat, and
choke himself, kick the lamp off the
stool, knock his head against the
safe, lie down and groan until found:
and all this done after having hidden
$4,000 Of public money out Of the
safe under sidewalk; then imagine
the good people Of Toledo rallying,
swearing vengeance against the rob-
bers and would.be assassins, take
their darling in their arms and carry
him to his home, numbers Of them
running ahead Of the half-dead- depu.
ty-Trcasurer, crying ''clear the track
s'more fresh air" and at and after his
arrival at home to see some OF tho
leading cttizsns, and that portion cal
ling themselves strictly moral, rush
in, praying to the Almighty that the
supposed rascals might be brought
to speedy punishment, then our host
gcts better and resumes his duties
as deputy, meanwhile some of the
good and leading citi-ens, Of Toledo,
get the whole country secured to

Fraternity Of Soldiers.

We call attention to the call, in
another column, for meeting OF the
members Of Post l03, of the Grand
Army OF the Republic. The object
of the meeting is to make arrange
ments for fit and proper observance
of May 80, fifty denominated Deco
ration Day" We earnestly hope that
full attendance will be had at that
time for the object Of the meeting is
eminently praisNSorthy.
Many of our soldiers do not be-
long to the organization mentioned
above: many who are members take
little, if any, interest in its proceed
ings. While it may be questionable
if the occasion ever existed which de.
manded the organization Of the So.
ciety known by the initial letters &c.
A. r. we believe tho concession
must be made, by all, that there is
no longer any need Of the secrecy in
the organization, as heretofore exist
ing. We expect soon to see the or
der thrown open to all who have seen
service as armed defenders of our N a.
tional existence, without any Of that
suspicion which always surrounds Sc
cret societies. In the contemplated
observance of May so, this year,
which will, we believe, be mostly
in the more immediate charge Of the
Grand Army ofthe Republic, 1T is to
be openly and truly soldiers re-u.
Mon, where all can come, whether
or not members Of this organization
and participate in all its exercises.
We bespcak, tor the day, exercises
Of great interest.

Will soon hold another session, the
next one being on the first Monday
of June. The Board as at present
constituted has the balance OF this
year to serve, when it must disband
and, at least, most Of its members, re-
tire to the privileges Of private lite.
We hope the board will not con-
slider us presumptive, if we call its
attention to q sect on (3l3) Of the
Code Of State Laws, bearing upon
its duties. The section is in the
words following to-wit; "They shall!
'casue to be made out and published
Immediately after each regular or
special meeting of the board y

expenditures Of the county, :
"* and a full statement of the a.
mounts OF the Treasurer's accounts
TAT the last settlement as on his bal
ssance sheet or account-currant."
The Board has not failed in publish
ing the expenditures Of the county
to certain ertent but it has utterly
failed except at the January and
June sessions to publish any state
ment as to the receipts Of the coun-
ty. We believe that the people gen.
orally desire to know the exact state
of the county finances and the object
of the provision OF the laws above
quoted Is to furnish it to them.

bear this thing in mind?

The principal topic Of conversation,
and that which claims the greatest
amount OF attention just Mt present in
our little town, is q controversy be.
tween this Sub. District and ]. w.
Cover OF this place regarding the lot
on which the school house in this
place stands In the month of De-
cembcr 1866 Mr.. James Hunter OF
this place leased to this Sub District
. lot to be used for school house pnr.
poses. The conditions Of the lease
were such that IN effect the lot was
to belong to this Sub-District SO
long as it was used for school pur-
poses. The District built house
upon the lot and proceeded to occu.
ply the same, and continues to occu.
py it. Some time last winter Mr..
Hunter discovered what he supposed
to be flaw in the lease, and, acting
under that supposition, sold the lot
to J. w. Cover. The result is that
both parties CLAIM the lot The Sub
District has possession OF it, and the
Sub Director tells me that they pro.
poseto hold it till disposessed by some
court having jurisdiction in the mat
ter.

he was not much injured. He walk

Another week Of quiet has passed,
and few words will make known
all of interest that has transplred dur
ing that time.
This morning the Indians who have
been so numerous in and about town
the past week, gathered up their
traps" and moved westward. They
generally make begging raid" on
all the houses here previous to their
departure, but this time they forgot
it or else have been more successful
in hunting and fishing and had no &C.
casion to beg. At all events they
went away quietly. They are gen
orally very quiet and well behaved
and do not inconvenience the citizens
IN any way only by the begging raids
mentioned above.
The Seventeenth Regiment Unit.
ed States Infantry passed through
here this afternoon on their way to
Sioux City and westward to take
care of the Indians in that region.
The wives and children of some of
the Commissioned Officers also OF
some of the Non Commissioned Off
GERS and privates were with them
going to share with their husbands
and fathers, the hardships, prlvations,
and dangers Of 'camp lite on the
frontier" The "boys" all appeared
to be in good spirits and determined
TO make the best of what few priv.
leges were allowed them.

in this place last week under the su-

He was standing on the corner,
In the place where loafers meet,
And he watched the dressy damsels,
AS they waied DER the street.
From mis- mouth came inueudoes.
And mis- eyes were oren vide,
As on tiptoe they came dancing,
Ger the muddy, sloppy tide,
When lady and her daughter,
Stepping carefully along,
Closely yelled from street inspection,
Heard his Shiny venomed tongue.

And with shame his head he hung,
For his mother and his sister,
Thus had struck the speaker dumb.
