arose in relation to $4,000 of bonds
now in the hands of II, Richardson
which he refused to deliver at the
time of the re organization and the
election of l. n. Hall for president.
At this time Richardson put in a
claim of $4,000 for services and
held the bonds as security for the
pay. This appeared to the new
board as if the old president main

understand, the treasurer had been
instructed to demand these bonds,
which he has hitherto failed to do,
and hence arose the discussion,
which was spiced with mixture
of surprise and indignation.

The Story Of a Windmill.

& i
We wont out to Slsymaker's in June to
spend thesummer, but we have been obliged
to leave. Slaymaker has u small stream near
+ his house from which he used to pump water
into. the tank In his garret Il occurred to
him some time ago that itwould be good idea
toput up windmill which could do the pump
ing forhim. so he built one at a cost of S20o.
The first day, it began to revolye it frightened
Slaymake's best horse so that itsran against
the fence and was killed. aud the arms were
so long that they nearly Drained Slaymaker's
oisest boy, who was standing beneath watchs
ing the machines whenit suddenly stopped
work and refused.to move an inch Slay>s
maker accordingly pumped the tank full, aud
just as he stopped, the mill began TO pump
like fury. Slaymaker, in alarm, procured q
rope aud tied one of the wings to a tree -
When the tank was empty he tried to make
the windmill fill it again, but the concern was
immoyable. Then Siaymaker waited for
couple of weeks, aud carried the water up To
the house in buckets, because he was afraid
to fill the tank, when the mill might get to
work at any moment. Finally. as thcro
seemed to be no hope of the machinery gets
ting all right again, he did pump the tank
full, and theu went TO bed That night there
was the first hurricane ever known in that
neighborhood. The windmill made about four
hundred revolutions minute, and left the
bed of the stream below 1t completely dry,
while it poured nearly six hundred gallons an
hour into Slaymaker's easret. The boarders
all swan out of the windows. aud spent the
rest of the night in the barn, while Saymakeri
took to tree, from which, at daylight, he,
