c. c. CEAH, 4 very worthy gen
tlcman, Is one Of the ring" cardi-
dates for county commissioner. Ii
our memory serves us right, Mr..
Cram held a seat in the Board some
years since, and during his term of
service failed to count the money
in the county treasury, as required
by law. It is further within our
memory that the Board, after hav-
ING neglected this duty for some
thing like year, finally resolved
that they acou'd coEnt the money.
To make assurance d0ubly sure.
Mr.. Cram waited upon the trcasur-
cr and told him that by a given
time they would count the money,
and he (ihe trea>urer) must have
everything right" Thus things
remained down to the moment the
money was 10 be couu,ed, when
unfortunately NJ. Cram was taken
sick, and as a consequence was IN
able to assist in the " count" Now,
what Is most strange, is that almost
Immediately afterwards the treas
nry was robbed of the last dollar.
As stated in the beginning, we re
gard Mr.. Cram as a Very worthy
gentleman, but considering his sud
den attacks Of illness, we doubt
whether he is Just the man for
county commissioner.

THE TRANSIT OF VENUS On Tuesday,
December sth there occurred the transit of

century past. 1t WIS not visible in North
and South America, but observations were
made by scientific men who had been sent to
the Asiatic coast, on islands in the South Pa
cific and in Siberia. The stations being
widely separated, and the results of the OBJ
servations carefully noted and compared, the
transit will furnish the means for accurately
measuring the distance of the sun from the
earth, OF for verifying calculations already
made. The earliest transit of Venus of
which there is any account was predicted
and observed by Jelemah Horrox, young
English astronomer, in 1889. The transits
of Venus rccur at alternate intervals of s
