BURNS FESTIVAL AT CLARENCE
Editor Of the Adrcrtiser: Our own best
poet, Lowell, says in one of his essays,
shakespeare, Goethe, Burns,-what
have their biographies to do with us ?"
His idea is that for us the genius is
everything, the man nothing. Mr..
Lowell is a great authority, but l can
not help thinking that he is mistaken
iii one of his examples; that, while we
admire the genius that gave us "Tam
OShanter," We also love the man,
Robbie Burns.
No other poet in the English language

readers as does Burns. Scotchmen eye-

Il. II. TAX.-Cass township, in this
County, very sensihly concluded that
it was worth while to make u bid to
secure railroad advantages to herself;
and, therefore, on last Saturday, carried
the proposition to levy five per cent
tax in aid of the Milwaukee, Iowa aud
Kansas II. Il. By thirty-four majority
out of a total vote of one hundred and
thirty four. This was the largest vote
everpolled in Cass township, which
shows that the subject had been thor
oughly can vassed, and that the result is
an expression Of the intelligent decision
of the people. By the terms of the bal :
lot, the tax is to remain in the hands of
the tax payers until alter the road shall
have been completed to specified
point.

last Friday, while heating in his black
smiths fire, a hollow metal cylinder
which, unknown to him, contained

though painful, the injury was not, as
we understand, liable to bea permanent

Heavy SUIT by q Railroad Company.


NEW YORK. July t10.-The western divis-
lon of the North Carolina Railroad Com
pany brings suit In, the Supreme Court
against s.W. Perkins, to recover $500, 600 on
an 'accepted order. The suit grew out Of
issuing "a. O00, 200 of bonds Of the State of
North Carolina to plaintiff Geo. w. Swep-
son, who was president Of the company at
the time, and Milton s. Littlefeld. 1t is
alleged that the bonds are in this city, and
with somewhat over million dollars Of the
proceeds OF bought bonds of some Florida
railroad company, which were afterwards
consolidated and that the Florida Legisla-
ture offered State bonds in exchange for the
first mortgage bonds Of the consolidated
company. These Florida bonds were sent
here to Hopkins & Co. for sale.
The State of North Carolina afterwards
appointed commissioner to examine into
what had been done with the bonds Of the
North Carolina Railroad Company, and it
is alleged that, under threat Of criminal
prosecution. Swepson & Littlefeld gave an
order for $500, 900 In favor Of the n. Carolina
railroad, and offered to furnish iron for b3
miles of that road. This order Hopkins IL
Co. accepted, but afterwards declined to
pay; whereupon Sydney w. Hopkins was
arrested to-day and placed under S3O0,
bail. >.%.
Upon motion to vacate the order OF
arrest, it was argued by the defence that
Swepson & Littlefield had no right to pay
their own private debts to the North Car
DINA road with the proceeds Of the sale of
the bonds issued to the Florida Railroad
Company for special purpose. The plain
tiffs argue that by accepting the order the
defendants were not in q position to ques-
ton the plaintiffs right to The road. The
decision has been reserved.
