night, by climbing into south window. They appeared to know pretty well where they were, and where to find things, for they went to closet and got screw dri- yer and unscrewed the money drawer, and unlocking the front door went out of it. taking the drawer with them. After ap. the contents of the drawer Something like dollar in change,) they left it OF fence near Mrs. Swift's, in North Main street. MT. Russell has not missed anything but the drawer, and it is thought nothing else was disturbed.
 Financial.-The firm stand taken by the President on the question of currency is having it's effect upon legislation at Wash ington. It is now believed that now no bill to increase the currency will become a law during the present session. The great mass understand that increasing the cur rency reduces the value of that now in cir culation. A sound currency secures to the laborer his just reward. He agrees for a dollar and should receive it. Money is abundant and cheap in Boston and New York and other money centers. and large sums are loaned out from day to day at three per cent. The accumulation of money in the center of commerce and ex- change indicates great stagnation in busi- ness. The public look for lower prices, and prefer lending money at low rates in pref. erence to investing at present prices
 Here is Richness.-A resolution has been introduced into the legislature and has been passed by this time for aught we know, ,giv ing each of the special bank commission CTS appointed last year, $2sOO for their ser. vices, to be paid, we presume as the regular commissioner is paid, by the banks them selves. So if this is law the legislature votes away about $l2, ,O6O of the money ot the depositors in these institutions in order to pay the four commissioners of last year This is exercising state supervision over the funds of widows and orphans with g vengeance The manner in which the special commissioners discharged the trust for which they expect $2soo apiece, was in this vicinity a simple farce. They man. aged to drive from Winsted to Salisbury and back in one day (killing horse by SC doing) and inspected CD four banks in the meantime! Let them be we'll paid by all means.
 Blessings. of ight.-There are few blessings which we enjoy here upon this earth-that is, material blessings-but what come to us through the agency of sunlight. Throughout your whole existence you will find by following up the same reasoning, that your most trifing act, your most thoughtless movement, has derived it's ori. gin from the sun. A blow with the fist, g breath, sigh, can be exactly estimated in rays of sunshine. Whether you trife O, whether you work, to make such an effort you have been obliged to expend so much strength; and that strength had already been stored in you by the sun, through the agency of series of transformations Your clothing is all borrowed from the sun. It is he who has spun every thread of your linen, and fed every fibre of your cloth and flannel. He either bleaches 1t snowy white, or dyes it purple and scarlet with indigo and madder. He furnishes leather for use. full service, and furs and feathers for finery and parade. He gives you your bedding ; whether you repose luxuriously between eider-down and wool, or stretch your weary limbs on straw or chaff, Indian corn husks, seaweed, or on even a naked plank, as is the lot of not few, It is the sun who gives both the one and the other. In like man ner, your butter and cheese are merely sol i'd forms of sunshine absorbed by the pas. lures of Holland, Cambridgeshire or Sails bury. Your sugar is only crystalized sun. shine from Jamaica. Your tea, quinine, coffee and spice are embodiments of sola, influences shed on the surface of China, Peru and the Indian Archipeligo. It is the suns action which sends you to sleep in opium, poisens you in strychnine, and cures in decoctions of tonic herbs. With out the sun no blood could flow in your veins; your whole corporeal vitality; your very bodily life is the result of the oyer flowings of his bounty.
 More About Town Meeting.-A good thing you did last week Bro. Pease, when you gave us such we'll deserved chastisine regarding our town meetings and the row dy manner they are conducted. Assuredly we are earning reputation abroad which is decidedly disreputable, and the sooner
 we find it out and apply the remedy, the more creditable will it be for our towns
 folk. To think that legal meeting should
 be called, important business transacted
 taxes laid and monies appropriated and tht
 real men of worth, character and respecta
 bility-those who pay nine-tenths of ths taxes are scarcely heard at all at leas
 not unless they possess lungs of more thar
 ordinary power Still I think our case ii
 not exactly hopeless, and am exceedingly 10th to think the rowdies are to have it thei
 way always.
