An Ohio Prima Donna

German papers are in raptures over a
new star, which has appeared in the
musical world. Her name is Fanny NJ.
Smith, dauthter of DIR. s. NJ. Smith, of
Columbus, Ohio. Miss Smith has been
pursuing her musical studies under the
German masters for the last three
years. One of her recent efforts is
warmly commended by the Spenersche
Zeitung, the Fremdenblatt and other
leading papers. The Berliner Montacs
Zeitung says of concert in which she
appeared some time ago: "Fannie NJ.
Smith, of Ohio, a charming blonde,
sang an aria from William of Orange.
with a seraphic voice that recalls
Clara Novello, and with suchl purity
and elegance that she was recalled
with storm of applause. Neither
violin nor piano could well maintain
themselves by the side ofso charming
q voice."

The CHRONICLE crows over the
election of Mr.. Pratt as township Treas
urer. He was elected by Democratic
votes-manyDemocrats from the coun-
try voting for him, who did not know
he had joined the Republican party
since the Democracy elected him to the
same office last year.
Brother Heaton we are sorry that
you feel it necessary to reflect upon the
intelligence Of your Democratic friends
In the above manner. Didn't know
that Pratt was a Republican? Why
did not your own Democratic Conven-
tion come near nominating him by ac-
clamation? Didn't proclamation by
some ofyour intelligent Democrats that
he was a Republican, defeat him? We
are not so uncharitable as to believe
that Democrats are as ignorant as
Brother Heaton would have US think.

always compared and the Commission
er's Journal shows it, they were com
pared with the credits given the Treas
urer by the Commissioners in their set
/ Elements with me; there are some in
the safe now taken up since the last
meeting of the Commissioners.
Q. You have:said in answer to a pre-
viOus question that this discrepancy
occurred before you came into the Of
flee as Auditor, can you explain 10 Us
how you know that fact?
y. have proper vouchers for ali
credits given the Treasurer by me, on
account of redeelning bonds and
coupons; these vouchers except those
for orders issued since the last meeting
OF the Commissioners, have been ex-
amined by the Commissioners and
compared with the various credits
given the Treasurer by me; the Com
miSSioner's Journal will show that all
credits given the Treasurer by me on
account of redeeming bonds and c0u-
pons, were correct and proper; yet
taking all the credits given the Treas
urer for redeeming pike bonds and
coupons, and adding to these the out
standing bonds and coupons, and we
find that about $4,000 in excess of the
amount will be paid when all are re-
deemed; farther, during the month Of
| November last. the Commission
ers, Mr.. Dawson, Mr.. Wise and myself
made pretty thorough examination
of this matter, and on the BarneSville
and SomertUn Road it was found that
up to September /, 1870, the credits
given the Treasurer by Auditor Clark
on account of redeeming bonds and
coupons were about Sc, 600 in excess Of
the vouchers in the office, and in eX-
cess of the amount due on that account
as shown by the bond register.
Q. (by Patterson.) How was your at
tention first called to this discrepancy 1:
A. The last collection made on these
two roads, the Somerton and Warnock
Roads, was in June, 1879; we were
coming to the squaring up time, in
closing up the roads we found we had
not money enough to pay them; that
is the way our attention was called to
| it; but these pixies are all :, little short.
@. (by r. NJ. CIark.) Was there ever
any bond presented to You for paw
ment that was not registered on the
Register?
4. No sir.
Q. (by Clark.9 Did you ever see any
evidence of fraud on my part or on the
part of my clerks in this office?
y. No sir, | think not.
Q. (by Kennon.) Have you any
theory to account for this discrepancy
of $4,000, between the bonds paid and
outstanding, and the bonds on the
Register?
A. don't believe I have; the most
reasonable theory is that these uncan-
celled bonds left in the Auditors Of
flee here might have got into the hands
of some improper person, and been
pi esented to the Treasurer and paid
over again. The bonds could not have
been paid twice, however, without
somebody in this office discovering the
