TEACHERS MINUS THEIR PAY. -When the


teachers and janitors of public schools went to
the Treasurer's office on Saturday morning last
to get their warrants cashed, they found but
$277 81 10 the treasury, while the aggregate Of
their warrants was SSl2.5O. The five or SIX
who came first were paid, but the reply no
funds" met the rest as they handed their WAR
rants over the counter, aud some were COM
PEELED to submit to heavy discount to get
their hard earned pittarce. The Superiuteud-
cnt tells Us that he is Informed from Richmond,
that, in consequence Of the slowuess with which
taxes come into the State treasury, no further
anporlionment Of State funds eau be expected
for some time, and, as teachers cant live on
air, any more than other people, it is obvious
that unless the Aldermen take speedy action
on the resolution frou the Common Council,
which they have laid on the table, some Of the
schools, at least, if not all of them, will be
closed. The city is now in arrears to the School
Board 81 $50, and the latter has expended a
reserve fund of nearly sl,5OO, Intended for
building purposes, In paying current expenses,
aud has not Il cent more.

On examination | am satisfied they
are not the true Colorado potato bug, :
LD0ryphora l0-lineatal, but the Dory-

the d. 10-lineata as not to be distin-
guished but upon close comparison.
This bug has but eight stripes on its

stripes join behind as in the case of the

Rain.
Monday and Tuesday people from all
sections of the County who were here
attending court, told one common story
that unless we had rain very soon the
grass crop would be a failure and other
things would suffer badly. Tuesday
afternoon it commenced raining and
continued well into the night. People
seemed satisfied for once to let train, no
matter who got vet.

altogether they only got about twenty

An Election Story.

In an old Pennsylvania town,
where they voted strictly in ac-
cordance with the dictates of the
party leaders $50 the story goes),
the experiment was made of put
ting a new ticket in the field. A
Mr.. Green was the candidate Sc
lected, but by reason of sickness
he was unable to go to the polls
on election day. When the re.
turns were published, Mr.. Green
had just one vote.
Chagrined at this, and annoyed
by the accusation that he had
voted for himself, he announced
that if the person who had voted
for him would come forward and
make affidavit to the fact, he
would reward him with a suit of
clothes.
A few mornings afterward, a
burly Dutchman called upon Mr..
Green, and abruptly remarked:
81 wants dat suit Of cloes,"
tThen you are the man who
voted for mew
"Yah, Pm dat man."
"Are you willing to make afi-
davit to it?'
"Yah, I swear to 'em."
Mr.. Green, accompanied by the
intelligent voter, went to the of
fee of the justice of the peace, and
the required affidavit was made;
upon which the clothes were pur-
chased and given to the deponent.
At parting, Mr.. Green said:
"Now, my friend, just answer
me one question. How came you
to vote for meT'
"You wants to know dat?"
"Yes."
Sand you wont 60 back on der
cloes?"
'No."
"Vell," said he, slowly, and
with a sly twinkle of the eye,

take in der ticketW

Ruling by the Commissioner Of
Pensions.

WASHINGTON, May 5. The
Commissioner of Pensions to-day
announced the following highly
important ruling:
Section 9 of the Act Of March 8,
1873, provides for no addition to
the two dollars increase ofpension
in any case; it is a consolidation
of Section 2 of the Act of July Is,
1866, and Sections 4 and of the
Act of July q, 1868, with an
amendment Of the former sections,
so as to give the same increase to
the widow of a seldier or sailor for
the children by a former wife as
for the children by herself, and
to the widow of an officer as well
as a soldier and sailor. It also
gives an increase to all children
under sixteen years of age, Of
officers as we'll as Of soldiers and
sailors, instead of all but one.
when there is no widow, or where
she has died or remarked. In
other respects it emb0dies the
provisions of the sections named.
