Lac mlcnlgan sends us the Following
as specimen of the excuses she re-
ceives daily from the parents of her
scholars. We have seen several of the
same stripe:

ID. Hays has presented us whith a
book, for which he has the agency, en-
titled Dolores" 1t was written by
Prof Leonhart, of the Beaver semina-
ry, who hus acquired quite reputation
as a writer. We have not had time to
examine it since we received it, and
therefore are not prepared TO give it
an extended notice. The book can be
seen at the Post Office, and purchased
for S1.25.
We had been congratulating our
self that we were through with winter
and its beautiful snow," but on Sum
day and Sunday night enough of the
article fell to almost encourage sleigh
rides, and yesterday the wind blew in
a manner not to be excelled by any
winter wind we have ever experienced
in the spring. From the indications
March is going out like lion, and we
only hope it will stay out and keep
with at all its disagreeable weather
"A man named Pollock is in dur
ance vile at our bastile up town. He
is provisioned by Sheriff Davis, who
pays such close attention to the rites
of hospitality that Mr.. Pollock doesn't
enjoy his visit there as much as he might
do under other circumstances. Pollock
had "grahbings" of the o. G. & A. r.
RS stamps at Trunkeyville, where he
has been employed as a platform man,
to the tune of $3.50, and Detective Nc
Kenze interviewed him to learn wheth-
er the disbursements agreed with the
receipts. They seemed not to, and he
was handed over to cur Sheriff who
furnished him a room. He has been
carrying as a systematic operation of
accommodating goods at the depot and
not accounting for them, and now he
is "held" to answer. His bail was fixed
ut $500, and he not having that
amount of currency about his clothes,
and his friends not appearing to have
confidence to that amount in him, he
languishes. Wonder if the appropri-
ater hasn't our five dollars?
