Two gentlemen and their wives, at
Wauregan, drove two miles out of town last
Sunday, to battle in the Quinebaug river.
They left their clothes in the carriage, and
plunged into the river. When they came
out their carriage was gone, and they had to
walk mile in their bathing clothes to the
nearest house. The next day the carriage
was found in the river, the horse having
been drowned.

about how much the deficiency will be can
not yet be estimated The Hartford Times
estimates for Connecticut about two-thirds
of an average. The value of an average
crop is from $12, 1000, 900 to $15, 100000, so
that the loss to the state will be from ST.

The Hon. W. NJ, Levy, Demo
cratic) Congressman from the Fourth
Louisiana District, denies emphatical-
ly the statement that before the war
General Sherman sympathized with
secession, and voluntarily and une-
quivocally pledged himself not to take
up arms against the South. He states
that he was in frequent and close COM
munication with the General before
the war, and that the latter expressed
his opinion deliberately and decidedly
that peaceable secession was impossi-
bic, and q terrible internecine war
was inevitable, whose magnitude the
Southern people did not forsee. 1t
was his desire, in view of the hospi-
tally which the Southern people had
extended to him, to retire to some
point in the West where he might not
have to participate in the war-not
even to witness it. Mr.. Levy SAYS,
in conclusion, 81 certainly construed
General Sherman's remarks as indica-
tive of a desire to abstain from active
participation in the war, hut not as
pledging himself or to take part in
it."

BEHOLD THE DIFFERENCE =
When the House of Representatives
OF PENNSYLVANIA had appointed a
Committee of Investigation into the
State Treasury they adjourned for the
recess. The functions of that CON-
mittee have been frustrated by the
persistent refusal of the Treasurer to
permit any investigation. So stands
the matter at this date. Now for the
contrast. The Treasurer of the State
of New York of his own accord
comes forward and, asking investiga-
ton, 81 believe, says he, "every ac-
count will be found to be correct and
erery dollar property placed" These
words we emphasize, because it is ex-
actly this Treasurer MACKEY has not
said and dare not say. Overdue
loans to Senators, mortgages to print
ers, help to railroads lettering to in
solvency he knows very well are not
the investments to which the public
money is properly placed. Hence the
refusal.
