done ?" 1t is true" he answered, sadly,
=" these terrible disclosures in New York,
in Washington, in Kansas, in Louisiana,

feature Of it is the apathy of the people.

IMPROvENENTs.-O new Clerk OF
the Court, Mr.. Van Ness, has shown
himself man Of practical ideas by
one or two much needed improve
ments which he has made In connec-
ton with his ofiice. In the FIRST place,
the Office Of the Clerk Of the Court
was far too frequently and constantly
10 legitimate use by the public to make
II convenient that 1t should be place
for holding law-suits-a thing that Of
late years has often crowded the room
full. for the time completely forbidding
any business with the Clerk. This Is
thus no more. A convenient high
desk has been put up outside the rail-
ing for the convenience Of the public
who desire to overhaul the records, SO
that they need not pre-empt the
Clerks desk aud stop his. work.
A counter or box has been placed In
the southeast corner Of the court room
where the Deputy Clerk is established
during sitting OF court with every con.
venience for keeping and examining
the several records of the Office that
are likely to be needed. Heretofore
most Of these were necessarily left be.
low; and for the transaction of any
business whatever with tho Clerk, II
was necessary to crowd right up te
his small box where he had not room
for the papers In actual use, and
where more or less interruption to the
court va unavoidable.

A few hours previous to her death she
called her family around her, and gave to

for grace to support her through the hour OF

the ordinances OF the Town Of Upton
makes it the duty Of all owners or oc-
cupants Of property to see to it that at
no time between April 18th and Nov.
18th shall any manure, offal, or other
offensive substances be permitted to
remain In adjacent alleys. It reads
that ANY owner or occupant Of prem
ises whore such substances shall be
found who shall neglect to remove
such substances within i've days after
being notified by the Marshal or any
member OF the council shall be subject
to fine"
Several alleys In town need imme-
diats attention, and the owners Of adj
jacent property will soon receive the
notice ~ above IL they do not at once
act In the premises without it.

| q little surprised at the nearness of the
unwonted music. Henry jumped up,
and guided by his ears, went directly
to the front door, where, Graded In a
common paper shoe box, be found the
cause Of all the disturbances lusty,
nice looking boy baby, pronounced by
the old ladies to be about two weeks
old. Further investigation of the con-
tents Of the box revealed two extra
suits of neat but not expensive cloth
ing, sundry diapers, and fifty dollars
in money. The latter consisted of one
twenty, one ten and four five dollar
bills. rolled together and tucked
among the spare clothing. The child
was wrapped in good wooden shawl,
and provided with q bottle duly pre-
pared for the use of Incorporate ba-
bies. The milk with which the bot
tie was half filled had curdled, which
it would not have done so cool night
by other means than the continued
shaking of long driving.
As yet we have heard intimation of
no suspicion concerning the parentage
of the waif or from whence it may
have come. The family with whom
1t was left are worthy Woodworking
young people, in very moderate cir
cumstances but those who deserted
the helpless one no doubt knew well
that the kind hearts were not always
with the rich. We infer that Henry
will keep and care for the charge thus
obtained so much out Of the usual
way, IS he is credited with having said
that "The Lord had sent it to him
and no one should have it again with
out an order from the Lord"
However this may be, we hear ma
ny inquiries from individuals herea-
bouts who have been less fortunate in
that particular, as to the best plan Of
making sure to find fifty dollars with
the babies that are occasionally left at
their respective houses. They say
there Is often fifty dollars in such
transactions, but they never yet found
1t On that side of the ledger.

In MAYORS COURT, last Friday,
appeared Matthew 'Thiele, proprietor
Of the lower saloon, charged with hav-
ing sold beer to minor contrary to
the ordinance under which he holds
his liconse. The charge was sustained
and the defendant was fined SIS by
Mayor Yates, which amount is the
maximum for the first offense. Mat.
paid his fine and the costs, and will
no doubt be more careful in future, as
q second conviction Of violating the
ordinance would put it at the option
of the Mayor to revoke his license.
On Saturday DR.. Rdgeway, propri-
etor Of the other saphouse, was ar
raigned before the Mayor upon two
charges of selling to intoxicated per.
sons. In his absence, his place had
