A gentleman writing from Tallahassee on
business, gives rather lugubrious description
of the management of postal affairs in that
city. The Postmaster, q colored man, is rep
resented as person OF no poitoness nor ac-
commodation, and altogether incompetent to
perform the functions of his Office. His chief
clerk was taken ill few days ago, and illness
has been seriously felt by the whole commune
ty. The machinery of the office is at a stand
STILL and Mr.. Conover's man appears to be in
the queerest OF quandaries. For two days
previous TO the lst instant, no money orders
had been issued, nor had any been paid APP
picaiiops for orders or for the payment of
orders are calmly met by tho announcement
that no orders will be Issued or paid until the
clerk gets we'll. This is a nice state of affairs

mcnce on Wednesday, September 3rd, and
close on Wednesday, June 9th, when all pu-
pills will return to their homes for tho vaca-

rapid progress, and secondly, longer period
of instruction is received.

Editor Sentinel
see in your issue OF August Is, state
ment that the average working life Of the
horse is not more than fifteen years. To this
have nothing to say but the idea ola horse
decreasing in value at ten years Is ridiculous.
At the agc of ten years that he is worth but
$50, is perfect absurdity. am 90 years of
age, and have been working horses for the last
80 years. Ny experience has been, that
horse is not in the prime Of life until ten years
Of age; then we have five years Of his best SER
vice, and il properly worked, ten years. You
speak OF the liability to die of grubs and other
diseases to which old horses are peculiarly LA
BILE. This is just the reverse Of my experience.
After horse gets to ten years have found
him less liable to bots or any other disease
have had under my charge from one to
twenty horses for the last 80 years. You speak
Of the increased cost of keeping, as the horse
gets older, but do not give the age at which
this cost commences. You will no, find it
much short Of 20 years, and then the cost is
light and amounts only to the tolls for grind
ing. have worked horses to, the age of 30
years and they did good service cannot see
that noble animal SO lightly spoken Of after he
has reached ten years ofage without putting
in word for his later days.

PERFEoT freedom of action among the ne
groes of the South has, Of course, resulted in
a return 10 many old snperstitions. 1t is not
remarkable that there have arisen also new
religious sects. In Georgia the 'sChristan
Church" has been organized. The preacher
to the flock--whch is limited in numbers--is
n Rev. j. W. Carter. About twenty miles
from Spartauburg, South Carolina, certain
negro preacher, named, uncouthly enough
Bobo, breaches to large congregation. Bobo
is totally uneducated very ignorant, fluent of
speech, and good workman. His preaching
lately has been of strange kind. He has pro-
claimed himself a prophet, commanded to lead
the children Of Sion to the promised land, one
hundred and sixty miles distant. There they
will have wings and fly. His people must sell
everything and follow him. About sixty
persons sold everything they had, and join
cd him. When about TO start the prophet
announced one thing more to be done--the
sacrifice of the oldest person among them
This was found to be woman. She was
taken and confined in an old clubhouse until
a stick of peculiar growth could be found,
with which she must be killed. She was res
cused by the white neighbors. When last seen
the prophet Bobo and his followers were cross-
ing the mountains in the direction of Ten
nessee.

WREcKING TRAINS TO AyEseE CArTLE.-A
despatch from La Harpe H., says On last
Thursday morning, as the eastern-bound pas
sengcr train on the Burlington branch Of the
T. P. and W railway left Iowa station about
o'clock, the engineer discovered an obstruc-
ton on the track, and saw fire on one of
the bridges. On going forward the conductor
discovered that thebridge, about sixty feet in
length, was on fire. He Immediately took
buckets and extingnished the flames, and cob
bled up with the ends of the ties and succeeded
in getting his train across. He had proceeded
but short distance when he discovered the
next bridge was on fire, but not so far burned
rs to be unsafe. He put out the FIRE and came
on with his train, only about an hour late.
At tho first bridge there was found an old
piece of red checked flannel, tied to stick and
stuck in the ground, and on it slip of paper
with this note;
Stop killing our stock and this will STOP"
MANY CHANGERS
Not satisfied with this daring outrage, on
Friday night, August l, they burned ten
stock-cars at iowa station and destroyed pro-
perty amounting to over $4,000.

Church Affairs.

4 meeting Of Protestant Episcopal
clergymen and laymen, in sympathy with
Bishop Cummins, was held in New York
on Tuesday, and a new church was organ
lied, under the title Of. the Reformed
Episcopal Church" A declaration Of
principles was adopted expressing belief in
the Apostles creed, the divine institution
of Baptism and the Lords supper, aud
the doctrines of grace set forth in the
thirty-nlne articles; adheriDg to Episcopacy
not as a divine right but as u desirable
form of church policy; retaining as the
basis of its liturgy the book of Common
Prayer Of 1855. The declaration rejects
the doctrines that Christian ministers are
priests in another sense than that in which
all believers are a priesthood; that Christ
is really present in the Lords supper, and
that regeneration is inseparably connected
with Baptism.
Bishop Smith, Of Kentucky, has issued
paper announcing that Dr. Cummins will
be tried for violation of the canon laws,
and that any episcopal act Of his pending
the trial will be null and void All
Episcopalians are enjoined not to counte
nance the Cummins movement.
A joint committee of the Church Of the
Pilgrims and Clinton Avenue Church, in
Brooklyn, has called a conference Of all
the Congregational Churches of the United
States to consider the alleged laxity of
discipline in Plymouth Church, of which
Rev Henry Ward Beecher is pastor.

Tweed's Accomplicos.

Now that Tweed has been convicted
and sentenced, the smaller rascals, who
were his accomplices, are being vigorously
dealt with. Connolly has escaped punish
ment by flight, and is now living comfort
ably in Europe on an income of $4,000 a
year. Fields, implicated in the armory
frauds, also deemed it best for his health
to set out on his travels without saying
when he would return. Carney and Key
ser both appear to have made their peace
with the authorities by turning State s
evidence But Ingcrsoll and Harrington
are on trial, and singularly enough are
jointly indicted for forging the endorse
ment of Heath & Smith to a city warrant
for 5l5, l3S, the warrant being one of the
same series of frauds in which Tweed and
his immediate associates were implicated.
Another New York politician, the well
known Harry Genet, has been indicted
for grand larceny. The charge is that he
stole the lumber purchased for the Court
House to build his own private residence.
A second indictment found against him is
for false pretenses, the charge being that
he obtained the signature of Mayor Hall
on a warrant for iron work by falsely rep
resenting that the city was indebted to
one Davidson for materials furnished to
the Ninth District Court House. Indict
ments of similar kind have also been
found against other parties, and as they
will probably be tried before Judge Davis,

The Treasury Report.

The report Of the Secretary Of the Treas
ury, always an important state paper, is at
the present time fraught with peculiar
interest The initial portion is devoted to
the usual array Of figures, showing the
sums received from various sources and the
manner in which they have been expended
The estimates for 1873 are given at S319,.
l9S,73G.s2, and the probable receipts as
S305, 200, 900, deficiency of about sl3,-
100000. 10 meet this, unless an early
revival Of business takes place, additional
means will be required. As precadtion-
airy measure the Secretary recommends
every possible reduction in the appropria.
tons, to the end that the economy which
the people are disposed to make may be
shared and encouraged by their public
servants. The refnnding of the public
debt is alluded to, and the opinion advanc-
ed that the exchange Of the six per cent
debt for five per cent. bonds can be still
further continued. The appropriation has
been made for the payment of the loan
authorized by the act Of March 3, 1859,
which it is claimed by some of the holders
is payable January /, 1874 This claim
the Secretary considers questionable, but
reports the matter TO Congress for such
action previous to the LIST OF January next
as it may deem wise and just. The banks,
the financial crisis and the currency are
discussed at considerable length, and it is
recommended that the institutions organ
lied under the Natianal Banking law shall
be prevented from paying interest on de-
posts or restricted and limited therein.
The policy of maintaining a reserve to be
drawn upon in case of emergency is ear
nestly advocated, aud the resumption of
specie payments is talked of as usual,
without however, arriving at any practical
results, which we are willing to concede is
ut present impossible, though movement
can be made in that direction. The re-
mainder of the document treats of imports
aud exports, Internal Revenue, the MINIS,
Revenue, Marine and Life-saying service,
the Coast Survey and other matters of de-
tail which are less important, and, being
presented in n condensed form, can be best
understood by pcrusal of that portion of
the report in print.
