EVERY SATURDAY was never more
valuable TO its readers than at the pres
ent time, As an eclectic periodical it
ranks among the first, while the Ameri.
canizing element which it has taken on
since it has passed into the hands of the
new publishers Only makes it take root
more readily in Yankee hearts. We all
have an especial fondness for our native
writers and though choice selection
from the literature of the solo World .
is relished keenly, yet the true Yankee
turns with sort Of satisfaction to home
talent. That this is the case with I" His

more than true, which work, as it pro-
crosses, promises to make mark. The

satisfactory one. Published by Hurd ~

THE DEFAULTING BRADFORD CASH
IER.-The father of Wright, the default
ing cashier Of the Bradford Savings
bank and Trust Company, offered to bail
him, but the young man refused on the
ground that he had committed the crime
and deserved the punishment. 1t seems
that soon after his arrest he attempted
to commit suicide by shooting himself
with revolver, but it was snatched from
his hand by the officer. He subsequent
ly took morphine, but the dose was too
large to accomplish his object. The first
false entry upon the books was made in
July 1872. At the time Wright left be
took $4,000 in government bonds, SOC
in gold, and 1,135 in currency, all Of
which was recovered. While at Pots
dam he chewed up $500 bill and tor
up roll of small bills which he ha,
taken from the private box of L. F
Hale, Treasurer. Part Of this sum vii
be recovered by putting together tn
shrsds and pieces.

SENATOR EDMUNDs.-Senator Ed

again after long absence, part of it
in Florida. He is in improved health,
but is not entirely we'll, | am sorry to
say. He looks thin and weak, buthopes
to be able to resume his duties in the
Senate. His immediate trouble is ma
larial poison, imbbed in Holland last
summer; but back of it is chronic dys
pepsia, which alone is enough to disable
the average Senator. Mr.. Edmunds can
not we'll be spared from the Senate, for
he is not only able but he is sound in his
views and man of integrity. He has
another advantage, in that he has no
Presidential aspirations, and therefore he
can afford to say what he chooses, and to
do right. One of the first things he will
attend to is the civil rights bill which is
before the judiciary committee. tits not
probable that he will go as far as Mr.,
Sumner did in the enforcement of civil
rights in schools, churches and grave.
yards, and other Republican Senators
are too conservative to vote for the orig
inal Sumner bill but there will be no
difficulty in passing a bill effectively
guaranteeing the rights of colored people
on steamboats, and IN railway trains, and
at hotels. There is not doubt of the
passage Of a good measure before the
close of the session, and men like Mr.
Edmunds will vote for it. Washington

Mr.. EDITOR: On a visit to Charles
town, Mass, a few days since, | had the
pleasure of sharing the hospitality and
pleasant society of Mr.. N. Bartlett, who
lives at "a Monument Avenue. Mr.
Bartlett is one of the leading stockhold-
ers of the Boston Ice Company, which
has undertaken the immense task of
excepting cool all Boston and its chief
suburban cities. A few facts concerning
this Company's business may be interest
ing to your readers. Toe ice, for its
purposes, is cut and stored in several To-
calities, and brought into the city by
rail when needed. The localities are
Fresh Pond, Cambridge, Quanapoit Lake
Wakefield, Horn Pond, Woburn, also
two other ponds at North Chelmsford
and Lynnfeld. Ayear's supply is about
100000 tons. Such are their facilities
for cutting ice, by steam power, that this
amount can be secured in about ten days,
or 10000 tons per day.
During the hot months of summer
100 ice wagons are run, employing over
200 horses, and about 200 men, travers-
ing Boston, East Boston, South Boston,
Charlestown, Chelsea, Somerville, and
East Cambridge. In hot day, 1000
toms of ice are consumed in these places
This one company has the entire control
of the ice business Of these localities,
and is very humane as well as neces
sary institution. We see no reason why
Boston and vicinity, by respectful pat
ronage, may not at least keep cool
and preserve, amid t various exciting
interest, its proverbial good nature.

Captain Bartlett says: "On Thursday,

hither and thither, partly from surprise
and partly from terror. Three men
jumped overheard, but they were subse-
quently rescued and taken on board the
vessel. Ten men were killed instantane-
ously, and eleven others died in great
agony the day following. Among these
were the first and second engineers. The
first engineer was native of Dundee,
and the second, named Booth, belonged
to Philadelphia.

The House passed the Senate infa
ton bill on Tuesday, 129 to 1l6. The
only chance to avoid this initiation is now
in veto. 1t is claimed, however, that
a clause in the bill passed, requiring that
three. quarters of the bank reserves shall
be kept in the vaults Of the banks, in
stead of in the redemption cities, will IN
effect cause very considerable immedi
ate contraction of green backs, equal
nearly in amount to the increase of the
National Bank currency authorized by
the bill ; and that careful study of the
effect Of the Senate bill will show that
it will be really contraction instead of
an initiation measure, since the locking
up of the reserves will be immediate,
while the issue of the new currency will
be gradual. If this should be the effect
of the law it will surprise none more
than the majority in both Houses who
have secured its passage.

On the same day the House passed
bill repeating the act charging postage
on newspapers published within the
county, it refused to pass an act allowing
the free transmission of seeds and plants
thr ugh the mails as formerly, for a
want of the necessary two thirds vote,
which was yeas LAG, nays 81. As there
appears to be good majority for it how
ever, we may expect its passage in the
regular course some time. Now do the
farmers want this measure passed? If
they do let them so write their member
of Congress and to their local newspa-
pers. If they want it there is no good
reason why they should not have it, and
if the postage on newspapers in the
county of publication has been abolished
Gin the House, because the country
press demanded it, let the country press
unite and demand this measure for the
farmers. The demands of the farmers
for public attention or favor have never
been numerous, and attention to their
wants may contribute quite as much to
the health of the nation as those of any
other class.

New STYLE of Crusading.

Some of the lady crusaders out West,
concluding not to wait for answer to
prayer, have adopted more energetic
if not lasting and speedy style of cru
sading. At Mt. Vernon, Illinois, on
Friday of last week, Mrs. S. S. Wilson,
accompanied by her sister in law, Mrs.
Thomas Wilson, went to the drug store
of E. M. Shepherd and demanded to
see the prescription on which her hus-
band is in the habit of obtaining liquor.
Shepherd being then absent the clerk
refused the demand, but advised her to
see DIR. Porter AMI have him revoke the
prescription. Mrs. Wilson, regarding
this as mere attempt at evasion, told
the clerk that if he did not give up the
prescription she would blow his brains
out, at the same time presenting pistol
at his head and appearing to be in great
excitement. A parley ensued, and fin.
ally Mrs. Wilson was induced to call on
DIR. Porter, where, with her pistol drawn
she obtained revocation of the prescrip
ton. The ladies then proceeded tc
Shepherds saloon and DR.. Johnson''
drug store and, with the weapons pre-
sented, gave their orders, after which
they went home, much to the relief o
all the doctors and saloon keepers.

DEATH OF A WELL KNOWN MUSICIAN.
Wilder, without whose presence
no Western Massachusetts, musical con-
vention has hitherto been considered
complete, died rather suddenly at his
home in Princeton, Mass, Monday night,
April 9Th, aged 43. Mr.. Wilder, who,
at the time of his death, had held pro-
fessorship in the Boston Conservatory of
Music for some six years, began his mu-
steal career at Athol for number of
years he acted as conductor of the Wor-
cester Choral Union and also of the
Worcester Country Musical Association
he was settled at Bangor, Me-, many
years, where, with the assistance of an
other Bangor musician, he prepared his
widely known collection of church mu-
sic, The Praise of Zion. He did not,
however, do much work as a composer,
his bestknown effort being the respon.
sive chorus, Rock of Ages. In all his
relations Mr.. Wilder, though eccentric
was highly esteemed as thoroughly con
scientious musician and man. His dis
ease, consumption, has been growing up
on him for some time, his last active work
being performed at the musical conven
ton at Warren a little over a month ago
when he was obliged to conduct tht
choruses while sitting in his chair.
