on the laCt that the Board was free from

years ol the Boards existence it expend-
ed SIX and q quarter million dollars, OF
which sum five million one hundred
thousand dollars passed through his
hands. lie said he did not think the
Board could get along during the next
year on the same allowance as last. Re.
port adopted.
The subject OF formula for receiving
new members, bapt;zing infants, &c, was
taken up. The Assembly seemed 10 be
divided as 10 the advisability Of having
any formula whatever, maIy dislikipE
and opposing anything in the shape Of

Certain parties owning property near

Two Fools Blown Up.

FoRr WANE, JuEe 1.-Two men nam.
cd WICKER and Stspleton were blasting
rock a few days ago on the tarm Of Joshua
stapleton, father Of tho latter, in 81. Joe
township. They drilled hole In large
stone and poured some powder in 1t, but
discovering that the aperture was not
large enough proceeded to chip the hole
with q hammer. The rock being Of q
flinty nature sparks were produced ignit.
ing The powder, which caused q terrific
explosion. Three fingers were blown of
the left hand Of WICKER, and Stapleton
was blown of some distance from the
place. Had the fragments not been dis
charged later both men would doubtless
have been killed instantly.

BANK NOTE PRINTING.
The Committee on Banking and Cur.
rency TO day resumed the consideration
Of the note printing question. Counsel
for the New York Bank Note Printing
Company did not charge fraud against
the Government Printing Bureau, but
that the work had been dOue at extraor.
dtnary rates. The cost oil printing for
the year 1873 was stated in the answer oil
Mr.. McCartee at $l,305,000 while the
books Of the treasurer showed $34s, 900,
besides, Il was not specifically accounted
Tor by the vouchers as to- whom the
money had been paid. Assistant Sec
rotary Sawyer aaid the Treasury De.
pattment had furnished an account which
the counsel on the other side had pro.
nounced untrue; but the account was true,
and represented the entire amount ex.
pended by the Bureau. 1t would take
months 10 copy all tho vouchers and
papers desired, but a sub committee
could be appointed, and by personal ex-
animation satisfy the committee of the
facts as stated In the report The repre-
sentalives OF the Bureau explained that
the $S4s.OO0 alluded 10 by tho counsel
for bank note printing companies
should be deducted from, instead
Of added 10 the $1,385OOO to give the
actual sum for printing notes and other
securities. The $S4s, 600 being appropri.
aled and expended for Internal Revenue
stamps irrespective oil other work. Dur.
ing the examination 1t was shown By the
Printing Bureau in explanation OF tho ap.
parent inconsistency in the size Of the
paper used for printing the fifty cent frac.
tional currency that the size Of the paper
was regulated by the size OF the plate,
which controls the price OF printing and
this rule was governed by all the amounts
paid for the execution OF the work.

Fully the average amount oil land has
been seeded and the crops will be large.
