Whitney School.

Saturday was rendered enjoyable. to
many of our towns people, by visit to
the Whitney school, near Old Fort, which
under the direction of Miss E. Fl. Botume,
and her assistant Miss Lizzie HUM, is one
OF the best conducted institutions of the
kind to be found in the state. Upon our
arrival the pupils were seated in semicir
Gle upon the river bank, and were being
served with generous portions of bread and
ham,sby their elders, whose official con-
ncctions with the festivities was dcsigna.

was occupied. At this time there could
not have been less than two hundred
persons in the school room exclusive of the
visitors, each face beamed with happiness s
and one was almost disposed to envy their
kind teachers the enjoyment they must
have felt at knowing that to them was due

IL the above figures do not show the
incompetence of the County Treasurer,
then we give up that figures lie. Il will
be seen that he makes his figures balance
in both reports, and AS he seems to bal
ance them by altering them all to suit MS
commissions, the Taxpayers ought to be
satisfied.
Is 1t not about time that the books were
examined and report of the finances
made IN accordance with the real condi
tion of the accounts The law says the
treasurer shau receive commission on co..
lections until the commissions amount to
two thousand five hundred dollars, but
shall not exceed that amount.
We have shown that he has received
$4,000 from the State and 81 $50 from
the County; in addition to which we are
informed he has deducted commissions
for collecting the school tax amounting
to $500, altogether $3.50.
10 show the falsity of the above figures
let us see how they compare: He reports
to the Comptroller General the county
tax abated at $3,131.43. Afterwards in
his settlement with the Commissioners he
reports the Attachments as SO. .4OS. so
Any one must know that the abatement
must increase, they cannot dim,nisA.
SO, also with the lands not advertised
lie reports to the Comptroller as the Coun-
ty tax On lands not advertised $6,44s.47
To the Commissioners he reports tax on
lands not advertised as $5,533.2O. These
figures cSs'a''ot vary one cent.
Again the 90 per cent. penalty in one
report is given as So ,435 25 an d atteruards
to the Commissioners he reports the 90
per cent. penalty as being only $1,94215.
If the treasurer can explain this discrep.
ancy, he may be smart enough to explain
how he can charge in one report $500 for
commissions ana in the other S,125O.

A Cool Burglary.

The Bryan (Ohio) Democrat gives the
following burglary story For GOODNESS,
deliberation and audacity the burglary of
Wertz Bros. grocery, on Sunday morn
ing is without parallel in the criminal
history of the country. So deliberate
and impudent was the transaction from,
beginning to end, that it seems like a
huge joke. About . o'clock Sunday
morning q gang of thieves, variously Y es-
timated from five to eight i'll number,
stole Andrew Smiths horse, hitched him
to 5. G. Moore's bob-sled and then drove
to the west side of Wertz Bros. grocery,
southwest corner of the public square
An entrance into the grocery was easily
effected through side door. Once in
side, the fire was smothered with salt, and
the work of pillage began. Every draw
er was Iansacked and the cellar searched.
Some change was taken from one of the
drawers, and several hams lifted from II
barrel i'll the cellar. Then, to cap the
climax, the audacious mscals actually
lifted and carried ont an iron safe,
weighing nearly 1000 pounds. Once
loaded, they attempted to start, but
Smiths horse was too conscientious Tor
the business, and refused to pull. Care
fully placing him in the stable, they
went to David Gettle's stable, over half
a mile away, got out his dray horse,
drove mp through the heart of the village,
hitched him to the bob, and away they
went. They drove south ON Lynn one
square, then east on Maple, crossing
Main, to near Allen, where they halted,
turned the horse adrift, and within ten
rods of Mr.. Barstow's residence, dellb-
erately cracked the safe by smashing the
door to smithereens. Alas, for all their
pains they found no lucre--nothing but
books and papers. Aside from the dam
age to the safe, the loss was inconsidera-

What Cows Are Good For.

From the Utica Observer we learn thai

5000 for butter sold $3.50 pounds at
40 cents), $Ss. s.9e from cheese, and 81 for
milk sold, making $309.32. The AMOUNT
of cash realized the year previous was
$500 or $500. One of the cows came in
Jan. %, 1874, and the other Feb I5-
Almost simultaneously with this comes
a report through the Buffalo Courier
that Mr.. Oliver Brunson, of Ellery, Chan

the COW. This was exclusive of the milk.

The Most Remarkable Of Casualties.

On Monday occurred in st. Louis
county casualty so singular in some OF
its features that no one would have be
heved beforehand that such thing was
possible. The subject was Mr.. j. j.
Kelly, nrseryman, who for the past
twenty or twenty-five years has lived neaz
Webster, on the Pacific railroad Mr.
Kelly is a large, heavy man, fifty-eight
years of age. Yesterday he was riding
III light spring wagon from KirkwOod
to Webster, and to keep his feet warm
had put lot of hot bricks in the bottom
of the wagon and covered them with
straw. When about midway between
Webster and Kirkwood the straw burst
into blaze and set fire 10 the wagon.
Mr.. Kelly's size and weight prevented
him from getting ont speedily, unless by
the dangerous feat of jumping out, and
he attempted to put out the flames with
out leaving the wagon, and III doing 80
his clothing caught fire. He then got
out, and, singularly enough. instead OF
attending to putting the fire out OR has
own clothing, ran to the horses head and
seized the bride to prevent his running
away. He stood in that position, apFst
rently dumfOunded, until he vas 80
burned that il is considered impossible
for him to recover. One of his ears WAS
actually burned Off A neigbbor passing
on the road found him in that situation,
and, after extinguishing his burning
clothing, conveyed him to his home near
Webster. 1t is supposed by some that the
flames did not originate from the hos
bricks, but from burning match with
which Mr.. Kelly had probably lighted
his pipe.--.St. Louis Republican

A HARD WINTER.

Hail monarch of the leafess crown
Rare seen save with a gloomy frown,
With ice for scepter, robes of snow,
Thy throne-the streams arrested flow
stern tyrant whom the hast'nipg sun
Doth loathe to serve, by yapors dun
Begirt, u melancholy train,
O'er nature holding saddest reign.
Io Of thy rigor birds make plant,
And all things meath thy burden faint.
Nor cheered are they by message cold,
In answer by thy north wind told,
The envy of thy grevious sway,
When thou wouldst drive all hope away
From nature, yearning TO restore
To earth the bliss il knew before,
When summer ruled with empire mild,
And autumn, still a ruddy child,
Lay Graded 'mong the greenery
OF whispering grove and laden tree.
The brook that prattled 10 the air
OF golden haryests, scenes as fair
As poet rapt in fancy's maze
Could scarce enshrine in mortal lays,
Now rude and angry hurls along
The hearers of his summer song
The branch and leaf that once repaid
His music with their tender shade,
And catching zephyr's honey'd tone.
To his sweet tuning Joined their own.
Or bound, perchance, in durance slow,
Full faint he wends, and moaning low,
Fit dirge he makes DER freedom lost,
In Joy of which he wanton tossed
The falling blossoms on his wave,
For water-nymphs to catch and save.
Now stript of his green bravery,
In piteous plight the weary tree
Il blown upon by mocking winds,
Whom changed now he signing finds
From those gay playmates welcomed erst
In glee by his young leaves when first
They wove their merry breeze-taught dance
And broke their feathered lodgers' trance.
What time the eastern wave did gleam
Meath fore-feet of the golden team.
Not busy now with tender care,
For coming brood the birds prepare
Their airy cradle, rocked unseen
by Dryad hands behind the screen
OF lcafy curtains, where no eye
Of mischief curious may pry.
The thrush that erst with yelling voice
Made all the tangled brake rejoice
In echoes of his mellowed strain,
To NOPE in silence now il fain;
Nor ever pipes from straining throat
The varied wonders of his note.
so bleak the scene, so sad the day,
Too harsh, O winter, is thy sway.
