In fact, almost "glare" ce--by these coas.
tiers and sliders. One gentlemen informed
US, yesterday, that he had beenrun against,
when walking down the decline of one of
our sidewalks, and knocked down no less
than sir times, by these coasters. The law
upon the subject is explicit, providing that
"no person shall coast, course or slide on
"any sleigh, sled or othor vehicle In any
" of the streets or highways Of the village
"nor upon the sidewalks thereof" except
upon such as the trustees shall designate.
AS the present board of trustees have not
publicly designated any streets, highways
or sidewalks upon which 'coasting," etc,
may be practiccd, the prohibition extends
TO all We have called attention TO this
matter before, but the trustees and police
have taken no action In the premises and
the "nuisancc"-for such it is proving to
be-is growing worse every day that snow
or slect covers the ground. 1t may be said
that this is a small matter, but is it? Is it

the formation of their characters. that it is
nothing to violate law; that they can re-
spcct or disregard a particular law as their
own childish pleasure may determine? If
child has the right 10 disregard and dis
obey this law. has he not the same right
with another? Wherein is the difference
of allowing person 70 disregard one law
where the penalty is fine, and of another
where the punishment is imprisonment
Is it u small thing to have respectable c,i-
zens knocked down on the streets, and. as
has happened in some cases. one Of their
limbs fractured. There is no excuse on the
part OF the proper officers of the law.
There is hardly ali hour Of the duy in
which th ) "coastng' is not taking place
openly and boldly 1t is not small mat
ter, but ii it was would it make any d;fTc-
renee? The law Is emphatic and explicit
and should be obcycd. We believe in BOYS
enjoying themselves, but there are plenty
OF hills, almost as near as the streets and
side walks, where this health giving pas
time can be enjoyed to the utmost, without
danger to the life or limb of others. Let
| the trustees and police enforce tie orli-
nance and, thereby, protect the citizen.

CONTINGENT EXPENSES OE TIE
SENATE

Senator Carpenter, acting as president
pro tempore of the United States Senate,
made a characteristic "dg" at the press,
Thursday. He said hc asked for advice
Proceeding, he said, in substance rs report
ed by the associated press, that 'Ihe press
Of tho country had called attention to the
abuses growing out of the use of the con-
tin9ent funds of the Senate. lie was
aware of but one, and that was furnishing
stationary to the reporters gallery. lie
had signed three orders already for that
purpose, and this morning found another
on his table awaiting his signature" The
Senator aforesaid has been particularly dis.
gruntledcd at the press ever since he
failed, So Signally, TO force from brace of
correspondents certain secrets of their en-
ployers, which they could not, in honor,
diyulse We may be disposed 10 argue
with him that the furnishing of Large and
small note paper and envelopes, pencils,
crascrs, pens, pcnholders, foolscap paper,
etc, the note paper, and envelopes,
and lead pencils being out of proportion to
other stationery" to the reporters gallery,
especially when used by persons other than
the official reporters Of the Senate is an
'abusc,' but wc can hardly believe that
even. he thinks it is the onW abuse ''grow-
ias ont OF the use Of tho contingent fund
of the Senate" Perhaps, however, that
he may think with an astutc Vermont cli.
tor that, side from this. only scoenty-tlc0
cent, worth of stationary are purchased and
used. We care not what the custom may
have have been. or may still continue 10
be, the law fixes the pay Of Senators and
Representatives, and most papers Labor
under the deusion that such sum, SO fixed.
- all that they receive We propose, with
uut cl IboiatioD, to disabuse them of this
idea. If any one sill turn 10 the laws of
the second session Of the last Congress,
they will find appropriations made for the
full payment of Senators and Representa-
lives, the officers of both, including pages
for clerks of committees, labor, folding
documents and materials for The same, their
transportation, fuel, light, furniture, re
pairs, swcepers, attendants, etc, in fact
for almost everything including "contin-
ingenis' here given. In addition TO these,
the following appropriations were made
for the Senate alone stationary and news
papers, nine thousand two hundred and
iifty-two dollars; Stat onary for commit
tees five thousand dollars horaeS and car
rtoges, seven thousand dollars miscelmne-
Gus items, including labor--ulher full ap-
preparations having been made for labor
thirty thousand dollars; miscellaneous
items (again), eight thousand dollars mis-
ccllaneous items (once more) fifteen thou
sand dollars; checks to committees and |
pages (already provided for), and horses and
clrriages, ten thousand dollars making II |
grand total of eighty.tour thousand t1o
hundred and 6Jty-tw0 dOllarS In old |
times. the Virginia members used to charge |
their drinks and tobacco as STATIONARY" |
while the Massachusetts members had it |
put in the miscellaneous items as "fuel and |
OIL" We dare say customs have changed. |

A special dispatch says that statement
will be presented in few DAYS to Con-
gress in answer to resolution offered by
Mr.. Wheeler. Of New York. which will
show that the amonnt of expenditures hy
the government from April, 1861, to Sep
TENDER, 1866, for the payment of officers
and soldiers of the army amounted in round
numbers, exclusive of bounties, TO 81 OBJ,
900 900. The same statement will show
that the entire amount of Suspended ac-
counts against army paymastcrs for dis
hurscmcnts during the war Is Sy1GS,0 900.
When we consider the number Of hands
through which this money passed, the vast
number OF paymasters selected, we might
sly almost at random---ccrtainlv,
al first. rs well at last without
personal knowledge and upon the Iocol-
mendation If men known only by rc;utf-
ton it is remarkable exhibit Of honesty
and faithfulnsess. The honesty of the
pnymastcrs is further shown by the fact
that only 100000 of the amount is total
loss, and for that one man is responsible
Of the remainder, there is no crminality
attached to the officers, but rises from
mistakes in keeping accounts, and will, Ill
timately, be paid into the treasury.

TKEaEE MEN En- NIAGARA nsy-Y


ONE LIFE LOST Two SAVED.
Three men named A. Rose, Henry Won
Wagnem, and Joseph G.rouX, living in the
vicinity of the works of the Niagara River
Iron Company, went out upon the river
some time before noon last Saturday on
shooting excursion, as is supposed The
party brought sail boat into rcguisition,
but had not been long upon the Niagara
before the boat was capsizcd by sudden
squall. The men we're thrown out, but
managed to gain footing on the ice,
which was being rapidly borne down the
river. At noon the 'hrce men were discoy-
cred on the ice nearly in front Of the works
already mentioned, and their pitful cries
for help attracted great many people to
the shore. The crowd were bcwldcred
with terror, and found themselves absolute
ly powcrlcss 10 render aid. The ice was
running with relentless swiftness and the
rescue of the men seemed to admit
of no delay. The creates; OK
citcmcnt prevailed and the unfortn-
nate trio were considered doomed.
In this extremity man was suddenly des-
patched from the Iron Works for the Grand
Island Ferry tug Ada, and to the summons
for help Capt. Adam Hartman responded
with alacrity. His boat had barely fuel
for miles travel, and he could not have
anticipated for her anything but severe
struggle with the swift current the heavy
ice, and the gale that had set in, but he re-
solved upon prompt action and went as
speedily as possible to the rescue He pur-
sued the men down the river but before he
could reach the tlocs upon which they
driftcd, one of the party, Joseph Giroux,
fell into the angry waters and was seen no
more. The other two were rescued elor,
distance this side Of La Sale. and when
taken off were badly frozen and complete
ly exhausted. They could not have main
tanned their ground many minutes longer,
and altogether they must have bean for
nearly three hours in the face If death.
The unfortunate Giroux leaves wife to
mourn his untimely taking off.

1t is pity that there are not more Will

1t is pity that there are not more VIII
lards and Wheelers in Congress. If there
we're, we could count on a reduction OF cx-
pendltures. Mr. Wheeler Wednesday, re-
ported the ''army appropriation BILL pro-
viding for a reduction of the army by five
thousand men and the Towering into the
treasury" of six millions Of dollars of army
claims. 1t is well understood that, in case
of war, the country depends upon "volnn-
teers" not on the regular army, but they do
not know. as Mr.. Wheeler showed, that
there is one officer or soldier to every ten
inhabitants in the territories where detach-
mrnts Of the army are stationed.

Since the meeting the following tcsli-
monias have come to my hand, and Justice
to myself and others make it reasonable
that they be given to the public.
BARTON.
We, the undersigned, would say that Rev
L Ii Stone did say, THAT he was not the
agent of the Y S + S for 1873; that he
lcctufcd on his own account and we paid
HIM for his own benefit:

Barnard, d W Robinson, 6 j Nanum.
Mr. Granger, at the annual meeting, said
he wa. informed of my proceedings by Rev
McDuffee, the Congregational minister
Mr. McDulfee was notin Barton al the time,
and his absence was the especial reason of
my being there that Sabbath.
NoRwIcH. Dear Sir You told me and
my family that Rev p n Granger was the
agent for the Y T S for 1873, and in the
church you repeated the remark, and SAID
ale will doubtless visit Norwich, please
give him c0rdjq' reception, and a HJoy0l
contribution

You announced in the Methodist church
Sabbath evening, previous to your lecture,
that you did not appear rs agent, is for
merly, but as an independent lecturer, and
that Rev Z n Granger, of Peacham was
general agent, &c, all of which was well
known. CORNELIUS SMITH.
WATERBURY,.
Rev. Copeland, of Waterbury, say.
"Whcn | gave notice Of your lecture last
winter, stated distinctly, from the pulpit,
that you were not the agent, and il was not,
think, till some correspondence by some
one, was had with Atwater that anything
was said here to your disadvantage. | have
heard but very little said from the first, but
have seen something's in the papers, which
all eminated, | presume, from the same
