An Inquiry.

Mr. E,litor..-I observe in the Au
ditor's report of money expended
by Cedar county during the year
1874. published with the proceed
ings of the Supervisors in your issue
of January 18th, that one Of the items
of expense is "Clerk hire, 1925 rs. !"
Now as ! understand that all Of our
county officers are paid stated sala-
~. land good round one, tool, with
the express provision that they shall
themselves hire and pay for what
ever assistance they may need in the
discharge of their official duties, |
wish TO inquire through your columns
hor and ,chy such an item as the one
referred 70 above finds place in that
report. Will not some one who
knows favor the public in general and
myself in particular by the desired
explanation. ] DO not wish to blind
" carp. cavil or criticise; but would
like 10 know for what county officer,
or officers, eight hundred and twenty
FIVE dollars was expended in this way
in the year 1874 and how lis expendl-
ture is justified:
Yours Frankly,

AccIpENr.-As Mr.. VIM. Bagley,
Of this place, accompanied by his
wife and little girl were on their way
TO Mechanicsville last Saturday, a
team behind them took fright and
ran away, coming charging RICH. up
against and almost over Mr.. Bagley's
sled. The accident occurred in a
lane where the drifted snow allowed
no chance to turn out, and MIR. BIS
sled was instantly overturned, his
horses dragging him several rods
before he could stop them. Mrs.
Bagley was quite severely injured,
SO much so that she could not be
brought home. Mr.. Bagley escaped
with some pretty severe strains aud
bruises and numerous scratches about
the hands and face. The little girl
was not hurt at all. The accident
was = very dangerous one and it
seems strange that even worse injury
did not result.

APRoPos of the the FIRE SUNDAY
evening, lion" Shaw told Us of the
time, some twenty-five years ago,
when WIN. K. Whit'lesey, then clerk
of the court, went to his Office early
one winter morning to find that the
FIRE which be had the night before
builded in the old box stove, had
been communicated 20 the unprotect.
ed floor beneath, and that the floor
had burned away letting stove and
contents drop through, som three
feet to the ground, and that although
it there found resting place in
bed of shavings, the ere had been lit.
orally smnthered out for want Of air,
so that the hole in the floor and q
cold instead of a warm Office were
all the apparent results.

EXTRA TRAIN.-Some old chap,
whose n anne we did not learn, got so
heavily freighted with beer last
Thursday, that he concluded nothing
but a railroad would safely carry him
home. Accordingly he switched his
horses and sled onto the track near
the depot. and started for Stanwood
without the least regard to the time
table. Conductor Bangs on his way
up for the regular evening trip, over
took the extra some two or three
miles out, and as it carried no flag he
attempted to pass, whistling lively
all the way up; but finding that he
couldn't get by so long as both trains
staid on the same track he was finally
compelled to stop, or else run over
the old seed. OF course he stopped,
and Dutton and himself boarded the
cab Of the beer train, throttled the
engineer and took charge Of the throt-
tie themselves. They had to run
about eighty rods to find place
where the team could be taken of
the track, but they finally put old
berry on . straight shoot for the main
road, and babe him go and sin nc
more. They did not, however, gel
out Of sight before they saw him
making for the railro,d again.

mpound more quickly and effsctu-
al y than could have been done with
a half dozen barrels OF water, had
they been at hand for instant use
And when one reflects that water is
one Of the mos scarce articles in this
town (whiskey, of course, excepted)
and that no immediate means Of car
rying or using it we're accessible, the
credit due to the little champion"
is very obvious.
a survey of the room the next
morning showed that the FIRE, which
undoubtedly started from cigar
stump thrown into box oil saw-dus,
used for spi,toon, had been smoul-
dering for number Of hours, and
that, though much restrained by
want Of air, it had at time OF dis
covery made progress from which
very prompt relief could alone save
the building. The floor was burned
through in one place, and the large
pine desk with its drawers Of papers
and memoranda, together with the
walnut table alongside, had gotten
into lively state Of combustion.
The heat was sufficient to crack the
ceiling all up and blister and seorch
almost all the wood work about the
room. We were glad to learn from
Auditor Carroll, that although nearly
all the contents Of his desk were de
stroyed, he loses nothing which will
cause the public any trouble or him
self more than temporary incon-
veniencc. Some stamps and postal
cards were burned, also some sta
tionarv and memoranda of unfinished
busipess-but neither records or I'M
recorded papers Of any importance.

To BE REFORMED One day last
week a Mrs. Elizabeth Kelly, who
lives in Inland township, ten miles
directly east of this place, made atii-
davit that her daughter Alice, a
bouncing damsel of fifteen, had be-
come wholly intractable and uncon-
trollable; that the said Alice had cap
tured the establishment and was
prancing and cavorting around much
10 her own detrimcnt and to the to-
tai discontinue of her maternal an
cestor-in short, that she seemed
possessed Of full grown devil of the
most malicious disposition. Reci'-
ing thus her grievances and her ina,
bility to impose any needful restraint
Mrs. Kelly prayed that Alice might
be sent to the State Reform School
for thorough reconstruction. 1t was
with considerable difficulty that the
Sheriff and Capt. Sanford induced
Alice to accompany them to town on
Saturday last, when the matter was
brought before Judge Rothrock who
granted the mother's petition and
committed the daug liter to the Reform
School until she should attain her ma
iority. Accordingly on Monday
morning Alice started for her new
home in charge of Constable Lang
ham.

The COLFAx LECTURE.-Some six
ty persons from this place visited Mt.
Vernon by special train last Saturday
evening for the purpose of hearing
the Hon. Schuyler Colfax's much
praised lecture upon the Life and
Character of Abraham Lincoln. The
trip was very pleasant one, and the
lecture was generally appreciated
aid id nired. 1t is true that the
much vaunted observed seats were
not to be found at the supreme mo-
ment, but this was owing to the i'm
becili,y Of the ushers, who we're prob.
ABLY too much occupied in re-arrang-
ing their back HAIR aud grinning at
their lady acquaintance to tend to
business and keep open the seass as
directed by the manager, Mr..
Bauman. However, through the
kind Offices of Prof. Freer and some
others, the delegation was finally
settled in very favorable positions,
and a: precisely seven o'clock the
Rev. Mr.. PEBBLES placed his
arms akimbo and bracing him
self for the effort introduced
the distinguished speaker. Mr..
Colfax was in poor voice, his
hoarseness at times nearly overcom-
ing him; but after passing the gen.
eral eulogy Of Mr.. Lincoln and the
work of his administration, with
which in our opinion rather too much
time is occupied, he came down
closer to his subject and deeply in
terested and moved his audience with
glimpsss at the inner life and less
widely known but most loveable
characteristics Of our revered Prcsi-
dent.
Some very good stories were woven
into the lecture-Mr. Colfax being
| one Of the men who both tells and
enjoys q good story we'll. His char.
acter for affability and approachabil.
| ity is well deserved, IS oil those will
testify who stood around him in the
depot while he occupied the hal
hours waiting for the train after the
ec,ure in pleasan. and incessant
! chat snd storytelling.

ALMOST A DIsAsrER--FIRE IN THE
CouRT HOUSE, SUBpuED BY A
HAND CHAMPION - About ten
o'clock last Sabbath evening our
quiet streets were suddenly ringing
with the ever frasful cry Of ''fire!'
Men rushed from their homes in all
parts Of town toward the center,
from which the alarm came-,he
great majority, however, only arriv-
ing at the scene Of action in time to
see how imminent the danger had
been q few moments earlier.
There were two or three who dis
covered the fire at nearly the same
instant-among them Taylor at the
Fleming House, who passing the
window saw glow in the Auditors
Office, the northwest corner room,
and taking one look at the door in
stantly raised the alarm. Quite a
number Of men were sitting in the
bar-room, among them some of the
employees Of the Champion Fire Ex.
tinguisher Company who came here
with agent Willoughby to assist in
handling the machine at the proposed
public test. One of these, Mr.. Ed
MARITIME, instantly seized hand ex
tinguisher left by Mr.. Willoughby al
the hotel when he was here last fall
and ran with the other occupants o
the room to the scene of danger
With the aid of log the outside
door and the Office door we're speed
lily broken open and in from three t
FIVE minutes more the FIRE, which ha(
really gotten under alarming head

machine which one man easily carried
