AusNeriucLetters.

A great many people in this
country are shamefully negligent
about answering letters. Nothing
is more annoying. In European
countries it is regarded as the height
of ill-breeding to allow a letter
which needs reply to go IMAM
swered, and SO it ought to be con-
sideFed here. This % point on
which parents should lay great
stress TO their children. They
should be taught to consider it as
rude not to reply to letter which
needs attention as to hand a fork
with the prong end. The busiest
people are generally those who are
the most exact in this respect. The
late Duke of Wellington, who, il
will be admitted, had a great deal
on his hands at different times in his
life, replied to every letter, no mat
ter from how humble q source.
Once a clergyman, who lived in a
distant part of the Kingdom, wrote
His Grace, on whom neither he nor
his parish had a shadow of claim, to
beg for a subscription to rebuild q
church. By return of mail came
back letter from the Duke TO the
effect that he could not see why in
the world he should have been APP
piled to for such an object; but tho
parsOn sold the letter as an auto.
graph for f5, and put the Duke
down for that amount among his
subscribers.

Among our personals Il few DAYS
since, we stated that ID. F. Fairchild,
vice-president of the Great Western
Manufacturing Company, of Leav-
enwOrth, Kansas, with his wife and
daughter, were visiting in town.
The ladies came by rail, while Mr.
Fairchild aud Mr.. Howard Wilson.
son of the treasurer Of the same
company, came in row boat from
the Thousand Isles, via st. Law renee
rive, Lake Ontario, Seneca river and
canal, and up Cayuga lake. Ithaca

Ontario to Florida, whittier they go
TO spend next winter. They origi-
nally intended TO have stopped here
but few days, and the ladies, Mrs.
and Miss FaiTehild, after visiting in
various parts of the State, were to
have joined them at the south iii the
fall. But, after rowing thus far, and
especially after seeing one OF Mr..
jarvis build OF boats, the gentle
men concluded that theirs q Clay
ton built boat, twenty feet in lengtb)
was too heavy and not suitable for
the trip. They therefore ordered a
canoe of Mr.. Jarvis, eighteen feet
in length, which will be completed
by the first of September. They are
then to continue their romantic
journey, taking the ladies along.
Mr. A. G. Carpenter, who IS an old
Adirondack companion of Mr.. Fair
child, aud lover of aquaIics, has
ordered a similar canoe, aud will
accompany the party from I;hica.
The canoes are known as the Baden
Powell pattern, with air tight COM
pariments, arranged far sailing row
ing or padding, and weigh when
complete, fiity-seven pounds.
They are provided with tents aud
cooking outfit, aud camp wherever
night overIakes them or fancy die

Their route will be as follows
Down Cayuga lake, through Cay uga
and Seneca canal, and up Seneca
lake to Watkins thence through the
famous Chemung canal to Elmira,
thence the Chemung and Susquehan-

a Baby Buried alive.

On last Friday Mr.. Thomas A.
Lennon, who resides in this
county, about six miles from this
place, went out to his barn to at
tend to his business, when he
heard cry as of something in
distress. He at first thought it
was a cat, but couldn't tell, and be-
gan searching for whatever it
might be that was making the
noise. After looking for some mo-
ments he went to a pile of logs
that were piled up under the cave
of the barn, and upon finding that
the noise came from it, he began
moving the logs, and, after NOV
ing them, he found a heap of fresh
dirt and the cry (evidently of a
child now seeming TO come from
under the ground, and upon dig
ging the dirt away he was horri-
fed to find an infant about three
or four days old, which had been
buried alive. 1t was still alive,
having been laid on its back, a
handkerchief placed over its face
and two wide boards over it, so as
to not touch the baby, and the
dirt on the boards making a nice
little grave. The child is alive
and well, and, although it is not
certain, still they think it is
known who put it there, and the
work of investigation will contin-
ue until certainty is reached

FLOODED Stock Goes Cheap.

FLOODED stock Goes CfaenP.
A st. Louis telegram of the LIST
says:
"The sale of President Grants
blooded stock took place at his farm,
ten miles from this city, to-day, ac-
cording TO advertisement. The day
was not very propitious and the at
tendance slim. The stock went at
exceedingly low prices. Young
Hsmbleton, z years old stallion,
was knocked down for $500. A fine
double team, sold for $3.50, is said
to have been bid for the president.
The trotting mare Bessie Turner, for
which the president paid $1,000,
brought 500. Another trotIing
more, Belle of st. Joe, was bid for
Gen. Grant for $1,000. The mare
Yicksburg, ridden by Gen. Grant at
Vicksburg, was knocked down for
$50. About dozen brood mares,
mostly thoroughbreds, sold at from
$40 to $50. The thoroughbred mare
Flora, four years old, sold for Sl35.
Frolic, q well bred yearling, brought
1852. A number of mules, work
horses, 3 quantity of harness, the
agricultural implements, and in fact
ali the machinery of the farm, will
be rented hereafter, Gen. Grant hav-
ing decided to make such q disposi-
ton of the property rather than run
1t on his own account. The aggre-
gate proceeds of the sale is not
known tonight, but it is very small
considering the value of the prop
erty sold. The mare Lady Morgan,
one of the team the president paid
$4,000 for, brought only $3.50.
The stallion Claymore, formerly
known as Peacemaker, was knock
ed down for $500. He is under
stood to have been bid in for Gen.
Grant"

CATION made by Mr.. Stage, of To

work by the present officials and
the Santa Fe Railroad company,
and the result of his operations
shows deficit in thecounty treas
ury of upwards of $4,000. We
regret that we cannot give all the
items, but a few samples will
seave 10 show the character of the
operations. G. G.. Bemis was chair
man of the board of county COM
missioner-A.C G.. Keis was county
clerk. The clerk issued the scrip
in excess of the allowance 81, 591
so. On April 21,I874, the board
authorized scrip in favor of G. W.
Crane, to the amount of $14.80.
The clerk issued to the amount of
81, $4,000. On April %, the board
allowed Crane $21.80. The clerk
issued two orders amounting to
$2,1SO.00. On July 5, the board
allowed Crane $26.4e. and the
clerk issued for $4,000 On
April %, 1873, the board allowed
Kets $50 for services. He issued
scrip IN his own favor $4,000. On
October IL, 1873, Keis was allow
ed $40 for services, and he issued
scrip for $500. The contract to
build the court house was awar-
ded TO w. E. Hutchinson for SIS,

in the plaAs, specifications or
price. This is nice kettle of fish,
and is a strong recommendation
to settlers in Kansas to steer clear
of Reno.

In oIdeu days there lived a man
United to a simple wife,
Who worked from early dawn ill eve,
And saved his earnings all his life.
He kept his precious hoard of wealth
Safe in a bag, tied round and round,
Until the store of coins had grown
In weight to balance many u pound.
And when mis- easy wife would ask
'What good is so much care and
greedY
One answer always was returned:
''m keeping this for time of need.'
And so through patient, toiling years
This was the burden OF his song:
''Let others spend, but | will save,
Till time OF need shall come along"
The story Travelled far and wide;
And 50 10 CHANGED Il stranger came,
Who entered ut the humble door,
Accusing thus the busy dame.
"Dear madam, am Time OF Need!
I've jonrneyed over land and sea,
To claim the money your good man
Has kept in faithful charge for me-
"OhI dreary metz the dame replied,
"My husband will he veXed, indeed,

"For business calls me 10 depart"
''TheD will get your own she said,
Sand give II you with all my heart
She dragged the hidden treasure forth,
With eager haste and arduOus pull;
While he exclaimed: al had not
thought
To find my bag so large and full;
"And fear cannot take Il all,
Since 1 came hi,her on my feet"
"Ohl ride the bob-tail horse" she said,
"And take the whole, do entreat."
"a lucky thought And I'll return
The horse, when next 1 pass this
way"
So saying, mounted and enriched,
The gentle stranger rode away.
The dame was left rejoicing much
That her good man from care was
freed,
And now, at last, could rest from work
And think no more of Time of Need
