Charges OF Perjury and Drunkenness
Against Omcers.

ChArges OF Perjury and Drunkenness
Against Omcers.
Commissioner voorhs sat yesterday to inquire
into charges against patrolmen by their superior
officers. The most important cases heard were
those OF Ocers William Reilly, OF the Twenty ninth
precinct and Isaac Henderson. OF the Eighth pre-
cinct The charge against Onicer Reilly was of
perjury; thai IN January last ne represented
himself rs only thirty years old ior
the purpose Of procuring an appoint
ment as patrolman while recently during
trial, he swore that he thirty-twO
years Old. Reilly said he was confused when he
made the second statement OF his age and that
he had written for papers to prove the time Of his
birth. The case was adjourned.
Oncer Isaac Henderson was charged by Rounds
man Michael Foley with having been drunk on the
morning or the 1st OF November while on duty.
Several citizens supported the roundsman's story
testtlying that Henderson appeared TO be drunk
on that day. Then came on the stand the police
man, supported by other citizens. to disprove the
charge. Case referred TO the full Board.

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.

An Opinion from the Corporation Coun.
sel-They Have No Power To Audit
Claims Against the City and County.
The Board OF Supervisors met yesterday for
rev minutes. The only business OF any interest
which transpired was the reception OF q written
opinion from Corporation Counsel Smith relative
to the powers OF the Board in auditing claims.
The gentleman decides that the Board has no such
authority, since the passage OF the Consolidation
act, either on claims contracted before after
the law went into effect. he also decides that ac-
tions can be maintained against the city and
county OF New York without this audit.

DEFAULTING CASHIERS. "The
cashier of Il. G. Anderson q Co.,
bankers, Savannah, has disappear
ed, and deficit of $4,000 appears
in his accounts"
This is a thrice.tOld tale daily, and
shows not only the vices Of the
tempted, but often the neglect of
their employers. ''Too much trust.
ing, too much betrayal of trust"
might be made proverb; but this
dishonesty has become so common,
and has gone so far, that it will be
necessary for employers to compel
the giving of security by clerks, as
we'll as the severe punishment of
offenders. The giving Of bonds will
prove difficult for strangers in a
strange city, however innocent; but
it is thus the innocent often have to
suffer for the Otfenses of the guilty.
The good life and good habits Of a
clerk are his best capital, and in the
long run must lead to advancement
in pay, position, or a share in the
profits. 1t is lamentable to see how
many fall from the four vices Of
gambling, bad women, luxurious and
extravagant living, and living be-
You'd ones means. No well brought
up and careful young man will ever
throw himself in the way of any OF
these temptations, or, once tempted,
he will use all the moral force Of his
character to escape the snare. How
far ambitious or SNOWY wives, daugh-
tiers and sons are responsible for the
evil complained of, it would be diff
cult to say. But father should
know the means he has, and COM
pei, if possible, his family to live
within them until something better
turns up. The world is before him
for better as it has been before
others, and with industry, honesty.
and fair intelligence, he cannot long
fail to earn living.

PRESERVING BARNYARD MA,

PRESERVING BARNARD MA
NURE. A stricking illustration OF
the value of manure made in thu
barnyard, by preserving II from the
inhuence'of the weather, Is present
ed in the experiment lately made by
Lord Kinnaird, a Scotch land own
or and farmer. -Four acres of good
soil were measured; two OF them
were MANFRED with ordinary barn
yard manure, and two with an equal
quantity of manure from the cover
ed sheds. The products of each
acre were as follows:
Potatoes treated wiM Barnyard Manure.
One acre produced, 272 bushels.
Ono acre produced, 29s bushels.
Potaioes manared Jipm he Covered Sheds /.
One acre produced, 442 bushels.
One acre produced, All bushels.
The next year the land was sowI
with wheat, when the crop was as
follows:
Wheat on land treated Nth Barnyard Manure,
One acre produced al bushels 10
pounds (of 81 pounds per busheD.
Ore acre produced AZ bushels 80
pounds (of 81 pounds per busheD
Wheat on land manured from Corered Sheds.
One acre produced 50 bushels 5
pounds (Ot 81 pounds per busheD.
One acre produced 80 bushels AZ
pounds (of 81 pounds per busheD.
The straw also yielded one-third
more upon the land fortified with
the manure from the covered stalls
than upon that to which the ordi-
nary manure was applied. In view
Of these facts, we hope that our
farmers will give this subject their
full attention for their own benefit,
and in making shelter or.stalls for
stock, it might be done with view
to the increase of manure under the
cattle, as it is not removed before it
is intended for use, if it is likely to
remain there for months.-Live

Plymouth Rock.-This Rock was
brought to this country in the May
flower, IN the yeas 1492, by the Pill
grims, under the direction of Elder
Osmar Brewster, who afterwards
moved to Boston and became an al
derman of that city. 1t was on this
rock that Governor Carver first
shook hands with Samoset, who
said, "Welcome Englishmen !" 1t
Is recorded tnaU wnen SamOSet came
up Governor Carver asked him if
he was a real Ingine, or only men,
Der of an Ingine Company.
The rock has long been regarded
as famous place. The American
Eagle for a great many years used
to come and whet bis beak Oh this
rock, but in 1868 Miles Standisl. in
order toskeepsit from being stolen,
carried it and put it in front of Pill.
grim Hall, where it remains at the
present time. invested with great
interest and an iron fence. The
fence bears the names of all the Pill
grims in cast,irOn letters that can't
be rubbed out.
The Rock is a good deal worn out
by the illusions touching it that are
thrown off by Fourth of July ora
tors. Plymouth Rock is the corner
stone of the cellar wall of our Re,
publican structure, paregorically
speaking, and the spirit of liberty (
sits upon it with a drawn sword in
one hand, and the torch of freedom
in the other; and if foes invade the
shore of Plymouth at high water
for they never can get in at low tide
will throw this rock in their
teeth. 1t is a precious legacy from
the past to the present, and from it
may be reckoned the Pilgrims Pro.

REVOLUTION. A correspondent OF
the Hartford Times, who has recent
" been to East Westminster, VT,
gives the following historical sketch
which he derived from Mr.. Rich.

the cemetery ut that place.
"Mr. Richmond said that in '74-5.
the Wings and Tories were about
equally divided, the judges aud ju.
lries being appointed by the King.
The British authorities attempted
to hold court in the Court House,
then standing about forty rods
north of the cemetery. The colon.
lists were bound that no court should
be held--SO they armed themselves
and att acked and drove the court.
from the Court House. In return,
the British soldiers attacked the col
0nists, and u man named William
French fell dead from the fire OF the
soldiers, and Daniel Houghton was
fatally wounded. In 1872 the State
of Vermont appropriated 5000 for

about six. feet from the place where
French was buried. a gentlmen by
