0NwARD.-In addition to the three or four
buildings now in process of erection in Rock
vl!e may be added one about to be erected by
Rev. Father MAcHIN We understand he has
purchased the lot adjoining the Catholic
Church, and intends having erected thereon
building suitable for Female Seminary Of
a high order, and to be under the auspices Of
the Sisters of the Holy Gross. The location is
beautiful one, away from the noise and bus
tie of the town, and may be made most love
~ and inviting spot, while it Is sufficiently
near to enjoy all the advantages of the town
is in fact in the immediate suburbs, affording
full view of the beautiful country around =
Thus much then of benefit derived from the
building association. la succeeding wears
the benefits will be still greater, because there
will be demand for the money as rapidly as
it aeeumulates and the sphere of its operation
enlarges. This association is to accomplish
much for the Improvement of our town and its
members ought to improve every opportunity
TO advance its interest. A town without a
good building association lacks an essential
element of success, particularly in the absence
of men OF enterprise.

article was published from this disease, in not

The ARLINGTON EsTATE.--Tbe question OF
paying Mrs. Lee the value of the Arlington es-
tate is again being discussed. The title by
which the United States holds this property is
OF questionable right. Confiscation can only
extend during the lifetime of the owner, but
as the property never belonged to Gen. Lee
and was the exclusive property of his wife,
ii is extremely hard that she should be depri-
we'd of her rights. Why the Government does
not do justice in the premises is one of those
questions awaiting solution, and may be solv-
ed whertoo late to be of service to the right
full owner of the property. Mrs. Lee only asks
that justice be done-and this ought to have
been rendered long since.

UNDER CLoUD.-lt appears that grave
accusations are preferred against the Japanese
Minister to the United States. These charges
are made by his own countrymcn, and are to
the effect that the management of the funds
entrusted to his care has been loose, and his
conduct towards his own government is char
acterised as perverse. Not only has he been
very careless about money matters, but he has
also disobeyed the most positive orders from
the ministers. During the last three months
no less than three instructions have been sent
to him, telling him to resign or apply for
leave of absence. This last he has done, bu,
it is not thought he will return to his own
country.

THE TRIAL OF THE MoDoc CAPTIyEs. No Off
cal dispatches have been received at the War
department with reference to the court militia
ry commission, to be convened for the trial of
Captain Jack and his band. General Sher-
man is of the opinion that General Davis will
order the commission, and that portion OF
the troops will be removed to Fort klamath
in Oregon, to remain at that post until the
trial is over. The remaining companies will
be returned to various garrisons in California
and Oregon. 1t is probable that ten or twelve
of the redskins will be executed, as sufficient
witnesses can be had on the part of the gov
eminent TO prove that ten of the Modocs par
ticipated in the Candy murder and three in
the Sherwood killing. The commission will
be governed by the military code, which does
not require the proving of malice on the part
of the offenders, but merely the establishing
of the fact, that they were present and aided
and abetted in the murders. The sentence
will probably be hanging by the neck, it not
being the impression among the military men
that soldiers fate of shooting will be accord

DRINKING IMPURE WATER.-Set a pitcher of
iced water in a room inhabited, and in a few
hours it will have absorbed nearly all the per-
spired gases of the room, the air of which will
have become purer, but the water utterly filthy.
This depends on the fact that water has the
faculty Of condensing and thereby absorbing
nearly all the gases, which it does without in
creasing its own bulk. The colder the water
is, the greater its capacity to contain these
gases. At ordinary temperature, a pint of
water will contain pint of carbonic acid
gas and several pints of ammonia. This ca
pacity is nearly doubled by reducing the
temperature to that of ice. Hence, water
kept in the room a while is always unfit for
use, aud should be often removed, whether it
has become warm or not. And for the same
reason the water in pump should be pumped
out in the morning before any is used. That
which has stood in pitcher over night is not
fit for coffee water in the morning. Impure
water is more injurious TO health than i'm
pure air, and every person should provide the
means of obtaining fresh, pure water for all
domestic uses.-Dio Leris.

New York AND LIQUOR DEALERS. to
stay the tide of intemperance is the great prob
lem. A few weeks ago the Legislature of New
York passed prohibitory or local option
liquor law which was vetoed by Governor
Dix, because it contained certain provisions
which in the opinion of the Governor would
have insured its defeat Mt the ballot box. The
friends Of Temperance in the Legislature at
ence went to work and framed different law
which If properly executed will prove ofgreat
benefit to the State, and do much TO stem the
tide of intemperance in its worst and most re-
voting aspects. The law has received the Go
vernor's signature and is now par. of the
law of the State. 1t is similar in its provis-
ions to the law of Illinois, which has been
tested to some extent and found to work WE'LL
II does not seek to prevent the sale OF liquors
directly, by the retail dealers, but aims to
cost OF drunkenness where it but too often be-
longs. II gives the wife, the mother or per-
son injured by reason of drunkenness on the
part of the husband or son, the right TO sue
the party and recover damages for selling
liquor TO the man who gets drunk. 1t makes
the judgment thus obtained a lien upon the
property where the liquor was sold, if the man
or woman who sells it is not able and willing
to pay such Judgment as is obtained.
1t is often the case that an unprincpled
GROCERY proprietor will induce man to get
drunk fer the purpose of having him spend
money with him. Under this law such men
will not be able to keep liquor saloons. If
they are the owners of the place, they dare not
sell a man enough to make him drunk, or sell
one liquor who is drunk, except at the risk of
having their property taken from them. If
they do not own houses, it will be difficult to
rent them from others. The law will most eff
fectually drive out Of the whiskey selling bn-
Siness the worst men engaged in it, if it is sus-
tanned by the courts, and the courts would be
Justified in being as liberal as possible in Civ
ing il full force.
