of the Aurora BOrealis, and spring is here, aad
your correspondent is glad. The song of the
robin and blue-bird awakens in his breast tue
hope that summer is nigh. The past severe

sweet cherry bud and many KINDS of pears.
Grapes will be almost u failure, only such
vines as were laid on the ground showing any
live buds, Many vines and peach trees being
killed outright.
Our Township Trustees have issued their
notice for spring election and named the

Dick aud Harry TO use it for any and every
purpose, without let or bIndrancc, Free gratis,

Just why they should appoint place else

such purposes, is somewhat obscure, and many
who were opposed to building the town house

The idea prevails that Congressmen for the
session Just ended receive mileage uadef the
old law aud their salary under the new law,
THIS is not so. While Gen. Garfield could not
defeat the Con sressiOnil increase, he did sue
ceed in inserting clause by which all mile
aye i'd TO the members should lie de-
deducted from heir salaries. And more than
this, he succeeded in striking out of that
bill all allowances OF postage or for stationery.
In the aggregate th ose iittus, we suppose,
amount To three or four hundred thousand
dollars. These facts are not known gener
ally. but should be, as they bear heavily upon
THE merits of this matter.
The justice of aboiishing the mileage, rs is
done by this bill. and substituting clause al
lowing actual travelling expenses. = mo-
ment's r Aecion will make clear. Tac mile
age of the Pacific membrrs of Congress who
come from West Of the Mississippi, was more
than their pay proper Under the increase of
salaries, with the abolisliing of mileage, &C.,
the pay Of many members will be niatrr.a ly
reduced. The aggregate pay under the new
bill We presnRlr, is larger than under ,te old
sysicrn, but taking into accoant the saving in
mileage in postage, and stationery, The in
crease is tar below the commonly received
notion. On the main question as 10 increasing
the pay proret of Congressman in the future
there was no reasonable objection, while ia
the change from mileage 10 actual expenses a
great abuse was corrected as well as equity
between members established.
