The city Finances.

1t is to be assumed that the Mayor in his
message, lately published, speaks with full
knowledge of the subject, and with substan-
tial accuracy. The main facts stated and
fairly dcduciblc from his message, we un-
derstacd to be.
First-That the city expenditures are
oycrrunning the estimates for the year, at
an alarming rate.
Sccond-That the amount thus far cx-
pended on the streets. exceeds the street
tax, and the proceeds of the special loan of
$4,000 authorized for that purpose, bv
about seven thousand dollars.
Third-That an unauth rizcd cxpendi
ture of some seventeen thousand dollars, has
been made in extending the water mains and
repairs of the pump house to make it fire.
proof: or if it be conceded (Which the
Mayor does not concede) that conditional
appropriation of 5000, made in city meet
ing, over year ago, for a special purposes
is still available for the general purposes of
construction OF the water works; and that
the making the pump house fre-proof was
a necessity --still there has been an unau-
thorzcd expenditure in water construction
amounting to over $1,000
Fourth-That the right to borrow tempo
rarily to the amount of fifty per cent of the
grand list, given in the charter, and intend
ed to enable the city government to supply
| any temporary deficiency of funds, near the
| close of the year, till the new taxes should
be available, has already been exercised to
the full extent, and that the So, 800 SO bor-
rowed has been expended or will be in pay
ing liabilities already incurred, leaving the
city without funds available for current ex-
penses and with five or six months remain
ing before any thing can be realized for the
next taxes.
There are some minor points of import
ance worth inquiring into, TO which we may
call attention hereafter. But the above are
the salient points of the situation, as we UNI
derstand it. The Board having taken the
unusual and very questionable course of
considering the message in secret session,
the taxpayers have no means OF knowing
what explanation of this condition of affairs
the committees responsible for these out
lays may have made. If they can make any,
proper to be made public, we should be very
glad to receive it.-Burlngt0n Free Press.

The sheffield Suicide.

The st. Johnsbury Caledonian gives the
following particulars of the recent case Of
suicide in the town Of Sheffield;
j. Langdon Ingalls,, familiarly known as
Lang. ingalls,, shot himself at Sheffield last
Saturday morning, causing instant death.
Mr. ingalls, was formerly merchant at Shelf
field, but for number Of years has lived at
Lyndon Centre. Last Friday he left home,
fer what purpose, or when he intended to
return, his wife could not learn. He went
directly to the public house of Noah Full
som at Sheffield Hollow. Where he was
during the evening does not appear, but af-
ter bed time man living mile beyond the
village heard some one in the road, and get
ting up and looking out of the window saw
person walking back and forth in the road,
talking to himself, and apparently under
great mental excitement. 1t is now sup
posed this person was ingalls,. Aboutm mid
night, ingalls, drove up to Frank Gray's, an
old acquaintance, who lives about two miles
beyond the Hollow, and routing him up had
his horse put up and went into the house,
taking with him loaded revolver, and an
axe and pitchfork from his sleigh. He in
sisted to Mr. Gray and wife that the sherif's
were after him, and he would on no account
have n light or any fire in the house, and
no noise should be made for fear of dscov
cry. No persuasion of Mr. Gray had any
effect upon him, and Ingalls, kept MIR. and
Mrs Gray in mortal terror for the remainder
of the night.
About four o'clock in the morning, In
gals wanted to so to the barn, which is
reached by Il walk through the shed, and
insisted that Gray should accompany him,
and undertook to enforce his wish by taking
hold of Gray. The latter wrcnched from
his grasp, and running into the pantry shut
the door. ingalls, passed out into the shed,
and Immediately afterwards the persons in
the house heard "A report of a pistol. Mrs.
Gray passed out at another door, and ran
to neighbours for help. When assistance
came ingalls, was found lying in the shed
walk upon his back, dead with his left hand
across his chest, and in the right the dis
charged pistol. bullet hole in the left
temple told the rest of the story.
Ofcourse, Mr.. Ingalls, was insane. No
sane man would have done as he did. In
fact it is said that he has kept an AK under
his bed, nights, for some time. He was the
youngest of a laIgc family of children six
sons and four or five daughters. His father
died a number of years ago. and was insane
tor several years before his dcceasc. lie
finally starved himself TO death. Langdon
leaves Il wife and one child-a daughter

an Treconciable opponent of the mon:
arshy, but as literary man. He assisted
his father on L'Evenement, and also after
the decree of amnesty, in 1869, on the Rap
pei. But his most prominent literary
works are his translation of Shakespeare
into French and his historical work The
Isle of Jersey" His French translation OF
le sonnets of Shakespeare was the first
ever made. He and his brother, Charles
Victor, always possessed the fiery repub-
lican zeal that their father has exhibited,
and they shared with him the consequence.

WE HAVE received from friend in
Hartford, Connecticut, II memoir of a
greatly esteemed friend, Mr.. Frances
Elizabeth Waldo, wife Of the Hon.
Loren p. Waldo, of that city, who held
high position at Washington during
Pierce's administration, and was long
on the supreme bench of Connecticut.
Mrs. Waldo was u lady of extraordi
nary loveliness and superior accom-
plishments, lineally descended from
the best revolutionary stock of New
England. Her parental grandfather
Charles Eldridge, was wounded, and
her maternal grandfather, Captain
Elijah Avery, was killed, at the mas
sacre of Fort Griswold, Connecticut, by
the British and tories under Benedict
Arnold, September 6, 1881, where
Groton monument stands to comment
crate the brutal tragedys The venera-
BILE surviving husband and Immediate
family of the lamented lady have our
warmest sympathies. Her death will
bring sorrow to the hearts of several
relations in Texas, for whose informa-
ton we mention the fact.

They have refused to open any part
OF the enormous amount Of the county
school lands TO sale an settlement
aud thereby decided That II Is wise TO
sill further tax The burdened people
Of to-day, TO hoard up riches for chill
dren yet 10 be born, piece OF TOM
foolcry not very mctlous to men who
have carried heavy weight for thlr-
teen years.
BY refusing to call convention they
have unnecessarily prolonged the ses-
sion and added greatly to the public
expenditures IN their expensive mode
of Kidding the state Of corrupt judges.
For these aud other matters they
will be judged by the people.
They will receive due credit for
rlghtful actions. Though they left
Cooper and Chambers on The bench,
they will be credited with ousiing
Newcomb, Nancy and Williamson.
With one or two exceptions the gov.
ernor and senate will DO commended
for the appointments. One exception
is in tho appointment OF the peniten-
tlary superintendent over the heads OF
men of unquestloned qualifications
and integrity.
They will receive credit for opening
the university and alternate railroad
sections Of land to sale, for ipvestlgat-
Ing past frauds in public officials, for
ignoring, as far as possible, special

There is no luxury which the
farmer and his family may SO fully
and cheaply enjoy as that of fruit /;
and our advice is now, as it has
ever been, to grow plentifully Of it,
II will not be many weeks before
the time for planting trees and vines
will arrive, and we would make n
suggestion TO those who have not II
superabundance, to take an invoice
OF kinds and varieties now growing,
and see what tho deficiencies are,
it any, so as to supply them in the
spring Too many farmers believe
that when they have planted out an
orchard, the working of the fruit
growing is finished, and they wait
during the slow years of the
orchards development, almost with
out tho luxury which the physical
nature Graves when without scarce
ly any expenditure, save labor, their
homes might be blessed with a fair
supply during the summer at least.
Strawberries, black berries, rasp-
berries, etc, make quick returns.
Peach trees and grape vines make
an early growth, if we'll cared for,
and pay heavily for the investment
made.

IT is FHNlsriED.

The working days Of the first session
of the Fourteenth Legislature closed last
night, as they meet tomorrow only to
adjourn. BY majority of them ig-
noring the known viii ofthe people in
several important matters, and so act
ing as to insure their continuance in
office, they have fallen short of the
duty of good and faithful servants.
They first refused to call a conven-
ton as the shortest, cheapest and most
republican mode ofsecuring to the peo-
pie free and practicable constitution;
and now, after long session, have
failed to agree upon set of amend
ments to the present obnoxious instru-
ment. The first refusal had its plausi-
bic, temporary reasons in defense, but
the latter failure, from the standpoint
OF those who defeated the convention,
is wholly without apology. We say
from their standpoint, because we
have reserved the right to oppose that
mode of accomplishing the desired
result.
They have signally faile,i, when the
way was clear, to reduce the number Of
district judges and district attorneys.
On the contrary, few, protesting to be
shining lights in the democratic iirma-
ment, have expressed desire to in
crease the number, and worse still, to
increase the salaries of all. OF such
democracy we constitute no part.
Our democracy teaches us that prom
ises made to'the people during can
vass should be religiously redeemed IN
the council halls Of the state by each |
successful candidate. Else wherein
can we confde in men?
