not only pay the interest of the present sewer

The mede is this: Let the mayor and alder

said estate from the sewer; on the payment oil
which sum the owner of the estate shall be free
from further assessment and payment therefor,
as long rs the estate receives no additional ben

also fix 4 sum to be annually paid by the owner

the sewer, and until the gross sum is paid, and
leave it optional with each owner to pay the
rross sum or the annual assessment.
Whenever hereafter any estate derives an ad-

change in the same, or from further use of the
sewer. then for the additional benefit thus de-
rived the owner is to he assessed and pay an adj

The annual assessment would probably be
seven per cent on the gross sum. These assess

taxes. and by law made lien on the several
estates.
The result would be, that we should at once
receive large amount, paid by those whd
prefer TO pay the gross sum; this would U'

that it operates equally and justly; that withot

A brisk manufacture of counterfeit gold dol
lars in New York was interrupted last week by
thc arrest of the persons engaged in it, who were
brought before the Unie1 States commissioner.
They admitted the act, but denied any criminal
intent. Their coins are designed and used, they
saw, for shirt studs, ear rings and other orna-
ments, aud for putting in prize packages. The
business is stopped for the present while the
commissioner ponders the legal question in
voved.
A new swindle, attributed to American sharp
ers, is Just now, so the papers say, having good
run in England. A stranger of good address
calls at dwelling house, inquirngif they have
a sewing machine. If they have, the kind OF
machine is ascertained, and the stranger an
nounces that he is an agent sent out by the
makers to see that their machines are WORKING
well. The machine probably is not in perfect
condition, aud the agent undertakes TO make re-
pairs. He presently starts up, saying he has
broken the machine, which must now be sent to
the manufactory, but it will be returned as good
as new, so that the owner will gain in the end
| The machine goes to the mandatory or else
where, but neither it nor the courteous agent Is

Al An,nainn Bird. 8

Mr.. Bromley, the editor of the Hartford Post,
in an account of his visit to the Yosemite val
lev, makes some valuable observations on the
natural history of that region. One curious
species of living creature attracted much of his
attention He writes of it as follows:
1--WE fell in with one species of game, how
ever, which manifested no disposition 10 nee
from the face of man. The 'yellow-iacket' is a
good bird TO hunt, as anybody who has ever
been hunted by them can testify. We fell in
with several thousand of them during the day,
and they seemed very fond of us They are
bird of very warm attachments; and you al-
ways know when they arrive, they do it with so
much enthusiasm. The arrival of great many
of them in party is a very inspiring spectacle
to dsiuterestcd witness. Several hundred
thousand of them came out to receive us mIe
or two from the grove They came upon us IN

and were climbing the hill beyond. 1t was
mutual surprise. The governor and congress

entitled to that position as much by Their dls-

The senate committee of investigation is now
at work on the New York custom house. Sew
eral witnesses have been examined, among
them Horace Greeley, who expressed his belief
tha. the custom house influence is used in be-
half of the Conkling faction Of the republican
patty. He had no personal knowledge of frauCS
in the custom house; but he was quite sure that
it is controlled in the interest of faction, aud
that Col Arthur, the present collector, is mere
" another name for Murphy, his immediate
predecessor. Mr.. j. P. Lindsay, who was con
iidential adviser CT Mr.. Grinnell, has been eN-
amued at great length, chiefly in regard TO the
general order business and Col. Leet's conuec-
ton with it. This Col Leet was formerly an
army officer connected with Gen. Grants staff.
For this reason there has been an attempt to
make out that he has gained a great deal o.
money by fraud, and that Gen. Grant has some
conn,ctiol with the matter. It has been
proved, however, that Gen. Grant has
no connection with him, and is moi
in any way responsible for his doin9s

MONDAY. JANUARY 5. 1879.

The dispatches from New York inform us that
Jamcs Fisk, Jr, notorious as manager of the
Erie railroad and Otherwise, was shot and NOR
tally wounded, Saturday afternoon, by Z. 5.
Stokes, who has become notorious IN connection
with the Fisk and Josie Mansfield scandals.
Fisk died, yesterday, little before eleven clock
A. NJ, at the Central hotel, where the shooting
was done. Stckes was moved 10 kill Fisk by
rage incited by his quarrel with him, This as
sassinadou brings TO conclusion the shameless
Fisk-Stokts Josie Mansfield inlamy; for Fisk Is
dead and Stokes will of course be hanged; and
the indictments and libel suits going on between
the parties, will moi be continued. 1t was das-
taldlv assassination, and so it will be regarded
by the many who are not likely to follow Fisk
10 his grave as mourneis; and yet it is not
unnatrral result of the conduct Of the TWO men
fer some time past. ii is stated that the report
that Fisk was shot, caused the Erie railroad
stock TO advance Eve per cent, which indicates
that the brokers saw an opportunity and used it
