AN INCIDENT OF THE PANIC A
Berkshire man who went to New York
last week to be on hand for picking up
some bargains in stock during the crash
on Wall street, gives his experience in a
very few words. He says he selected
what stock he would invest in, and as
it then stood at AZ, he thought be won Id
wait half an hour in the expectation
that it would go lower. In fifteen min /.
utes it jumped to AZ, and then, believing
it was going up, he bought. In fifteen
minutes more it was down to 80, and
our capitalist sold out and started for
home, Disguised. Pitsfeld Eaqle.

The WEED SEWING MACHINE AT VI
ENNA.-In yesterdays issue we announ-
ced the return home of Mr.. George A.
Fairfield, superintendent of the Weed
Sewing Machine Company, who has rep
resented that company at the Vienna
Exposition. A personal interview with
him satisfies US of the justice of the COM
pany's claim to the
HIGHEST HoNoRs AT VIENNA.
Mr.. F. brings with him the Official
Catalogue of Awards at the Great Ex-
position, in which his name appears as
having received Medal for co,operator,
in producing and perfectiug machines.
This medal is given ito persons who, as
managers of manufactures, are nomina-
ted on the part of the exhibitors on ac-
count of the leading part they have tax
en- in the features of excellence of the
productions.
No other SEWN machine company or
representative thereof received such an
award, and this settles the point beyond
dispute that the Weed Company rule the
world in superiority of machi@es, and in
mechanical ability.
10 addition to this grand award, the
Weed Company received Medal for
Progress" the highest award made to
any other sewing machine; also Med
al of Merit, the third 10 the list of
honor.
Thus it will be seen that the Weed
Sewing Machine Company of this city
have received the Three Highest Awards
at the Vienna Exposition of 1873, one
of these being superior to any and all
others issued to any exhibitor in their
line of goods.
The Weed Company also received the
Highest prize given to American Fami-
ly Sewing Machines at the Paris Expo
sitio1 of 1867.
Hartford may we'll feel proud of this
organization, and also of its superinten-
dent, who has achieved such credit for
the company and done honor to our city
in the eyes of representatives from every
part of the world.-Boston Advertiser.

The Secretary (and City Treasurer,) by par
mission. addressed the Board, and explained
that the Receivers Of Taxes in paying funds
over TO him, Disseminated between what was
"Oity Tar" and what was School Tax" but Ii
was then placed in bank in = common account,
and by rule OF Council, could only be drawn
out upon tue Councils own order, signed by the
President and Clerk, and countersgned by the
City Treasurer, (himselt) The last named could
not, therefore, control the money, and could not
pay ever to the Board the proceeds of School
taxes, il he wanted to.
Mr.. Jenkins said that there was such rule Of
Council, but Council could not compel the
Treasurer to do an illegal thing. His custody of
the School funds was fixed by law, and he must
see that be acted legally.
At the suggestion OF Mr.. Adams. agreed to by
the mover, the resolution was laid over Cor two
weeks
On motion Of Mr.. Child. the officers of the
Board were instructed to negotiate note Of
50 600, at 80 days in favor OF Mr.. seeds the con-
tractor for building the new school house.
Mr.. Moore offered resolution, to close the
schools after Friday the l2th instant, until
means we're raised for carrying them on, which
dpon motion of Mr.. Adams was laid upon the
table.
H. NJ. jenkins offered resolution which was
adopted, instructing the committee on the How
ard School to employ an additional teacher, aud
that after the first of January the salaries of the
teachers Of that school be the same a. those Of
the same grade in other schools
On motion Of Mr. Baird the President was in
structed to address 9 letter to the City Council
explaining the financial condition of the Bosrd.
Il. N. Jenkins offered the following resolu-
| ton which was adopted
Resoloed That the Committee on Finance be
instructed to thoroughly investigate the subject
OF the issuing Of bonds for school purposes, and
| to ascertain in what manner, IL any the pro-
ceeds may be made available for the use Of the
Board, and that they be authorized II necessary,
/ to secure legal advice on the subject
| Mr. Moore moved that the Finance Commit
tee be instructed to inform the City Council that
| tue Board would TequiIe an appropriation OF
| eco 900 to carry on the schools noxt year.
Mr. Higgins offered an amendment instruct
/ ing the committee to inquire into the practicable
/ ity Of asking for an appropriation large enough
/ to last eighteen months, instead OF one year
| The object OF this would be to make the fiscal
| year of the Board begin on the LIST of July, in-
i stead of the lst of January and thereby avoid
| the necessity of borrowing money, during the
/ first six months Of the year, to anticipate the
| taxes, which do not come In until July.
The amendment was discussed aud finally lost
/ when the original motion was adopted, afte
which the Board adjourned

An old Night ScAv0nger" has addressed us a
letter, on the subject OF the cesspool cleansing.

one year and half at the business, and did not

for him He further says:
" On accuont of the untitn ess OF some night
scayengers their work is sometimes badly done.
II the Board Of Health would license only those
who had respect for themselves and their bust
ness the work would be well done under the old
plan. Il has be, u stated by one OF the Odor-

TO take the liquid matters from the cesspool.
