Ths Ames Family.

"A perfebpbndeutof the Springfield Rephbli- |
eanf WHITES Of North EastOn the birthplace 1
and home Of Oakes Ames-the man who just |
now stands In 90 dlsgEaeeful prominence be-
fore the American public. The town lies mid |
way Between Boston and Fall River, on the /
line Of the Ola Colony end Newport Railroad.
In this place Is the great shovel mandatory
OF o. Ames & Co. The number OF hands en-
tory ranges from 800 to 400 In an ordinary
season, each days work produces 900 shOvels.
Oakes and Oliver Ames are the senior part
neEs otthel Arm. and thelr sons comprise the
Oliver Ames, ST., the father of Oakes and
Oliver, began the business in a very humble
way, first as manufacturer of nails, and then
OF shoYels, in small One-stOry building with
out machinery The little shop gave way to
larger one, each succeeding year saw steady
gain over the proceeding, and when ten years
ago, oliver Ames died, his little nail and shov-
ell shops had grown to be one of the leading
industries of the nation, and 'Ames' sbovels
were known and used throughout the world.
lie died at an advanced age, having lived to
see nourShing town grow up around him,
which, In a large measure, owed to him its ex-
lstence and prosperity. He was universally
respected; keen, energetic man of business
yet singularly straightforward and upright in
his dealings.
The Ames family have always been inter
ssted in the welfare of North EastOn and
every scheme for public improvement meets
their ready support and receives from them
substantial aid. They have al ways been firm
advocates of the temperance cause, and have
waged relentless warfare against the liquor
traffic in their midst. And this has not been
without perceptibe effect for will venture
to say that no other town in the State, in
which the foreign element is largely predomi-
nauti can show so good temperance record as
does this place. Three or four years ago Oakes
Ames began building an elegant school house,
with the intention of presenting it to the dis
trict in which he resided, but before its com
pletiOn the school district system was abolish
ed, and, not caring to include the whole town
IN his liberality, he offered to sell the building
at slight advance upon COST
After much controversy upon the subject,
the town finally bought the house, and some
people have been so ungenerous to assert that
Mr.. Ames knew that this measure was to be
brought tefore the Legislature, and weuld
probably be successful, and he took advantage
OF this knowledge to realize few "dividends'
by speculating in school houses OF the two
brothers, Oliver Ames is the general favOrite,
and he Is certainly morally and intellectually
the superior. If you want a favor, go to OH
yer he win grant it If it is within his power
and II not he will give you courteous refusal
which Is more than you will always get from
Oakes, who Is as rough and blunt as one Of
his one shOvels.

FRANKS OF 4 TENNESSEE GIRL.

San Francisco is entertained with a racy
breach OF promise suit. Miss Helena c..
Fraser sues James w. Thrift, thrifty land
SPECTATOR, for $4,000, for promising to
marry her and then refusing, thus mortally
wounding her honor. She is twenty-five
years old, stately, handsome and Intelligent,
and he is beginning to grow gray with the
snow of years. She was employed in the
capacity of a governess when she had the
misfortune to kindle in the bosom of Thrift
the tender fame. She was always unfor-
tunate that way. A man or more was al
ways in love with her, and, according
to her own account, her adorers
had always been exceedingly gen.
erous. One of them educated
Der at convent in Canada; others had
given her money to travel on, and fine
dresses to appear in, and board at frst-clsss
hotels. The last one, Thrift, had been very
kind too, and yet treated her worse than
any of them, for he had trampled upon the
most sacred fee ings of the heart. She is q
much travelled lady too, and has resided in
st. Louis as we'll as all other principal
cities of the country. She is a st&unch
Southern woman, and when her aunt was
arrested as spy, in Washington she vent
lovingly to Jail with her unfortunate female
relative. She kuows very little about the
other members of her family, but was told
she was born in Tennessee. She has every
confidence that Mr.. Thrift will compromise
the suit by marrying her, but feels certain
of SIS, 900 if he don't.

Educational Matters.

A. S. Currey, Esq., elected County Su
pertinent of Gibson county, writes TO Hon,
John NJ Fleming, State Superintendent, as
follows:
The County Court of Gibson county, at
its January term, 1873, levied a tax of q
cents ad valorem, upon the 500, real and
personal property, and merchants and tip
piers taxed ad valorem; one half of the
amount of privilege tax upon upplers aud
artists taxed by the State; tax upon mar
rage licenses same as the State ($150) for
common or public school purposes.
At the April term motion was made to
reconsider the action of the court at the
January term, levying school tax, but the
same was lost, and it was ordered that a
tax Of 81 on each poll be levied for school
purposes, thus increasing instead of de-
creasing the fund, as proposed by the mo-
ton to reconsider.
The above tax was levied in addition to
the amount levied by the State, making the
ad vslorem tax 81 cents on the 500. Glib
son, ana not Knox, is in the lead.
