TOWNSHIP officers NIio neglect to pub
Itch full statement of tne financial con-
dition of their townships, within sixty days
after the annual spring election, are liable
to fine. Several suits have been Brought
by tax payers in different counties of the
State, against officers for this neglect, and
in each case fine imposed. The law re-
quires similar publicity in the matter of
school accounts, and makes it obligatory
upon directors to publish annually Il state
ment of the receipts and expenditures of
their respective school districts. If this
law be not complied with tnx-paynrs may
refuse to settle their school tax. School
boards throughout the country should
bear this in mind, and avoid the perplexity
that may otherwise arise.

Brockway, Of Columbia, is a Democrat
and so is John Filler, the editor of the
Harrisburg Patriot. The best Of friends
sometimes chance to disagree, and this is
what Filler says of Brockway: ''To his
other accomplishments Mr.. Brockway has
added that of reckless falsifier. He lies
deep down in his throat when he asserts
that" and other charges of like calibre
too numerous to mention. Concerning
Hon. William Elliott, the late Speaker of
the House, the Pdtriot mentions as its well
formed opinion that that gentleman las a
Speaker was partial, unjust and unscrupul-
Gus, and often wanting in the dignity that
becomes the position" Brockway insists
that Filler was influenced by money &C.,
all of which is very rough, but we suppose
considered Democratic.

THERE is misunderstanding as to the
law regulating the postage on newspapers
since the repeal of the franking privilege.
The repeal of the frauking privilege to
Government officers and Con Iresssmen did
not affect the free exchange of newspapers
with each other, or the free distribution of
weekly newspapers in the counties where
printed. But when the postal appr0pria-
ton bill was under consideration, during
the last days of the session, uu amendment
was made as follows:
Provided. that the laws and parts of
laws permitting the transmission by mail
Of ana free matter ioaIterCr be, and the
same are hereby repealed from and after
June 80, 1872 #...
Under this law, of course, newspaper eX-
changes must pay postage at the usual
rates, namely, weekly newspapers five
cents per quarter, and daily newspapers
thirty cents per quarter. The same rule
applies TO newspapers circulating in the
counties where printed, and there has been
no reduction of postage, as some appear to
suppose. y bill was passed by the House
making reductions in newspaper postage,
but failed in the Senate. Neither has there
been any change with regard to paying the
postage by regular subscribers 10 newspa-

THE INDIANS GATHERING IN OREGON.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 90 "A despatch
from Portland, Oregon, tonight says that
1400 Indian warriors are camped at White
Bluff, Yakima river, above Walla Walla,
putting up breastworks. -.
The settlers are alarmed. Indians are
travelling about painted, aud warn the
whites TO leave the country. The Sponka-
ne Indians are threatening, aud also warn

those by the Modocs are feared.

WONDERFUL MECHANISM. "A German
miner living at Excelsior, Northumberland
county, has made one of the most wonder
full clocks on record, and when it is con-
sidered that he never learned n trade and
had no other tools but a pocket knife and
a little hammer it is surprising how he
could produce such an intricate piece of
mechanism. The clock is octagonial in
form about three feet in diameter. The
whole is carved out OF wood the outside,
including dial plate and all, is very finely
carved. Above the dial is a platform sur
rounded bya fine railing. In the middle
of this stands figure representing the
Saviour and the figure ofa rooster. When
the clock strikes twelve the twelve apostles
come one after another marching out of
one door, passing across the platform and
each one of the first eleven making bow
facing the Saviour and then passing on to
another door which they enter and close
behind them. The last one is Judas with
a bag of gold in one hand. He passes on
without deigning TO notice the Saviour.
During the passing of the apostles, the
cock crows twice and chime ofbell plays
music inside. The clock shows the time
of day, the days of the week, the months Of
the year, and the four quarters of the moon.
Altogether the clock is ofa most wonderful
and beautiful construction. The time
occupied in its construction was about
three years, the dial plate alone taking up
two months, being splendidly carved. 1t
! is now on exhibition at the residence of the
maker, who intends, we believe, to exhibit
it in all the principal cities and towns of
the country. Bulletin.

upon them and counted forty Modocs,

IMPORTANT DECISION. The Supreme
Court of the United States rendered n deci-
sion on Monday in the case of the Mutual
Life Insurance Company of New ork VS..

Citizens generally, Military and Civic As

THE great complaint in business circles
everywhere is that they are shaved to death.
1t is recognized fact that the fearful ar
ray Of bankruptcies every year is due to
this cause chiefly. Ofall engaged in trade
in the principle cities II is well ascertained
that ffiue-tenths fail sooner or later. 1t is
satisfactory to learn that new generation
who are determined to find some way TO
put a stop to these things. Amy attempt
to repeal the usury laws will raise furore
which will be exceedingly unhealthy TO
those drones and non-producers who would
infict this outrage on the people.
