Pay of Township Assessors.

The attorney general has received a
number Of letters in regard to the pay
lof township assessors. and answers them
all as follows: "You request my opin-
lion in respect to the pay of township
assessors per day. By an amendatory
act approved February II, 1875, the leg
islaturs fixed the pay of township asses
Isers at 81 per day. The act has m
emergency clause, and also clause re-
pcaling all former laws and parts Of
laws Inconsistent Herewith. The fee
and salary bill fixes the pay of township
assessors at 81 50 per day, but has no
emergency clause. IL therefore is not

Perhaps for the benefit OF your intel
liscnt readers we had better locate this
beautiful and new territory: bounded
on the North by White river: on the

the section line directly South Of Mr.. G..
Horizons estate, and on the West by the
County line. This small territory is
noted for the richness of it's soil and the
luxuriant growth of its vegetation.
Few communities in this connty are
better blessed with facilities for attend

Jury has lost a million by the silk Snug
glers, and two or three millions by the
Whisky Ring, and that these losses have
accrued within twelve or eighteen
months But every one who has watch

The rooms Of the woman's Club were crowded
last evening with good society, including mer-
chants, clergymeb, editors and their families
and several lady correspondents, the occasion

Of the Girls Reform School.
The front parlor and library was devoted to
the disciples Of Epicurus, and large
table was spread and handsomely arranged
and dtcorrted with g proiusion of for
eign and Indigenous plants and flowers which
filed the air with sweet perfumes. Tne festal
board groaned under liberal offering Of all edi-
bles, in and out Of season, including seafood,
tropical fruits and was presided ever by an inter
estiDg bevy Of elegantly atttred young ladies,
who made the evening charming BY their smis-
BILE manners and brilliant conversation.

her attentive hearers hearts ought TO be

Three times in succession they had defeated in
the District Legislature efforts to license the
social evil. and the third time had secured the
passage Of q bill Incorporating the association.

The above pressures are the averages Of the
record taken every hour from o'clock a. m till 6
o'clock p. N. The increase being 2k pounds
equivalent TO what would be produced BY a head

HAMLTEE n. E. CHURCH.

It's FINANCIAL kmDarasSmenLs
There was q called meeting, last evening at the
Hamline n. E. Church, corner of Ninth and P
streets, northwest, Of the members and friends of
the church, to take steps to relieve the church of
its financial en- barassments. The presiding elder
William F. Speak, presided, ami George
opened by prayer by Mr.. Speak. The treasurer
OF the church, william Mayse, Esq, stated that
and the debt had been reduced by 5000. This
year up to date the subscriptions amounted to
$19s9,9 go and Sl459,79 had been paid out, and the
debt this year had been reduced but about $500.
There are obligations amounting to 5000 to pay
On one obligation Of sl4 900 he had been notified
they could have time as long as they would pay
the interest. His proposition was that the indi-,
vidual members of the church assume the entire
responsibility Of such portions Of the church debt
In answer to questions, Mr. Msyse stated that
the church building had originally cost over $4I,-
coo. The actual amount ofindebtedness at present
was S235OO. There were about so, 900 yet of un-
paid subscriptions. There was need of s5, 900, to
be raised before July next.
The Rev. S. Kramer, said that 1t was ruinous to
pay
SUCH ENORMOUS INTEREST
as the church was paying. He suggested that
they put the debt in stock, which could be nego-
tiated In New York at seven per cent. By giving
could issue $4,000 in stock, and could
take up bonds as they become able to pay for
manner negotiated SEQ 900 at six pc. cent, and
there would be no difhculty in bearing debt
Mr.. Mayse said that Mr.. Kramer's idea had
been considered before and pronounced unpracti-
cable.
= Mr.. La Fetra moved that an expression from
all present be taken as to the amount they could
make available either by November q, the date
when all the subscriptions fall due, or within
three, six, nine or twelve months. As Mr.. LIS
Fetra's motion was carried
PLEDGES WERE CALLED FOR,
and in q short time Ss, ,l3s subscribed to be made
available within one year.
On motion Of Mr.. La Fetra, Messrs. Mayse
Langley, Proctor, Roach and La Fetra were ap-
pointed q committee to call upon members Of the
church who were not present at the meetins
with the view of gaining further subscriptions.
On motion It Hasidecided to make Q further eff.
fort next Sunday morning, II the amount is not
previously increased to by the exertions Of
the committee.
After the singing Of the doxoIogy and benedic.
tion from Mr. speak the meeting was adjourned.

position to shirk the responsibility Of contributing
to Q cause by which they now hold their positions

may be an occasional one who will, where money

an excuse for being q DRosE. The excuses of
those are so numerous that your columns are not
sufficient to give them. A few Of the many ex-
cuses are, 1--WE are going home to vote
and II will cost rs - The An
sver to this is, had they remained ct home and
not sought of1ce they could have voted without
costing anything. Another, "Our expenses are
so great cannot really afford to give anything"

The fact is,..it makes but very little difference
with some people whether little or much is asked
