MIR. EDITOR:
My attention has been called to the
published statement in the Independent
Of January 28th, 1879, of the report Of the
committee who Investigated the Treasur-
er's and Auditors Books, together with
the editorial statement thereon, wherein
said paper has charged that am out

ty.

ment as a malicious .falsehood, without
shadow Of truth or Foundation. am not

the committee. have never handled one
cent on these books, as the Treasurer
collects and disburses all the money re-
ceived on these funds, and is responsible
for the same
If the Board of Supervisors claim this
amount of me, or any other amount, 1
demand that they proceed against me i'm
mediately, for restitution of the same.
This charge is SO absurd that it hardly
needs serious refutation, nd / would not
have noticed the same, but for the false i'm.
preston this statement has made, and was
intended to create The Board has never
indicated to me that was so indebted,
and whenever they do so officially will
most cordially respond. The committee do
not charge the same, but only show q
difference between the two offices in the
entries
The Board know that the charges in the
Independent are false. The committee
will testify to the same, and every person

The Oratorio of Esther was presented
even more successfully than on former
occasions, last Friday evening. The NJ.
E. Church was densely packed with
people, .wo Or three sleigh-loads having
come from Traer to see the presentation
All the presentations were excellent, and
the Duet, ''Tea and Turnout" sang by
Mrs. J.. Johnston, and Prof Danforth, as
a conclusion to the entertainment, gave
satisfaction.
A vote of thanks was by the audience
extended to Prof. Danforth for his untir-
ing and successful efforts to give our citi-
Zens an entertainment well worthy of
their patronage. In our opinion the
thanks should have been extended to in
clude those of our people-the singers
who were as untiring in their efforts as the
Professor even. Mrs f. n Merchant,
the pianist certainly merited the approba-
ton of the audience, and in fact all who
participated did 50.
The gross receipts were $G6 .55, and the
proceeds, after paying expenses have
been or will be, forwarded to the Estate
Relief Committee" by u committee APP
pointed for that purpose.
Prof. Danforth is now in Toledo. We
hope he may be as successful there as
he was here, in a professional point, and
still more SO pecuniarily.- Iama Press.
Prof. Danforth is now holding rehear-
sails with our singers and intends bringing
this Cantata out in most beautiful and
superb style. We have been present at
some of his meetings and from the way
he conducts the exercises he evidently
understands his business. 1t is expected
that he will give this grand exhibition on
Thursday and Friday evenings of next
week when we hope our citizens will give
him good benefit for it will be well worth
the cost Of admission.
This story OF package of postal cards
may seem to read like romance, but it
is literally and tetotally true: Mr.. Spring
field is the Postmaster at Tyner, Tenn.
and Mr.. Tyner is the agent of the Post
Office Department at the postal-card fac
tory in Springfield, Mass. Mr.. Springfield,
of Tyner, needing some postal cards, order
ed them from the Post Office Department.
The order from Mr.. Springfield, Of Tyner,
was forwarded to Mr.. Tyner, of Springfield,
and Mr.. Tyncr, Of Springfield, sent the
cards to Mr.. Springfield, of Tyner, but
Mr.. Springfield, of Tyner, not getting the
cards from Mr.. Tyner, Of Springfield, Mr..
Springfield, Of Tyner, wrote to Mr.. Tyner,
Of Springfield, making inquiry regarding
the cards sent by Mr.. Tyner, of Spring
field, to Mr.. Springfield, Of Tyner; and
this letter from Mr.. Springfield, Of Tyner,
to Mr.. Tyncr, Of Springfield, inquiring
about the cards cent to Mr. Springfield, of
Tyner, by Mr.. Tyner, Of Springfield, Mr..
Tyner, Of Springfield, now keeps to show
to his friends, when telling the story Of
the postal-cards ordered by Mr.. Spring
field, Of Tyner, and sent to Mr.. Spring
field, Of Tyner, by Mr.. Tyner, Of Spring
field, and finally received by Mr.. Spring
field, Of Tyner.

Cold Snap.

The coolest and most severe storm
which has visited this section of the
country for a number Of years was en-
joyed (?) Tues day and Wednesday of
this week. The snow fell in large guam
titles and then drifted very badly-;n fact
worse than has been known for 8 years
or more. In some places the lanes lead
ing to town were literally filled up for a
space of 40 to 90 rods and in some instan-
ces even worse. The cold was intense,
the thermometer indicating from 20 to IS
degrees below ger. Travel Of all kinds
was stopped, and no business was done Of
any account, scarcely. The mails from
all direclit rs were delayed, and general
quietus put on everything.

Educational.

EDITOR CHRONICLES:
! have recently been looking over the
schools of Indian Village township, and
find several items worthy of commenda
ton The School Board of the township
requires eight months school during the
year, and believing that poor teachers are
dear at any p.icc, they endeayor to cm-
ploy only tl-ose Of known ability. 1t re-
quires corps of eleven teachers to sup
ply all the schools Of the township in
Guiding the Independent District of Mon
tour, and all of this number with the excep-
ton Of three hold First Glass Certificates,
and the salaries range from $50 to $40 per
month in the Sub-Dstricts.. The Board
have supplied each school with Il copy of
the latest edition OF Webster's Unabridg-
ed Dictionary, and are changing many of
the old, for new and improved text books.
The Independent Readers are being quite
generally adopted in the western part Of
the county. would also state just here,
that Highland township have recently
placed a copy of Wcbster's Unabridged,
and set of Barnes Outline Map in each
school of their township. feel that this
brief article would be incomplete without
noting the excellent work of the Higher
Department OF the Montour Independent
District which is under the charge of its
able principal Mr. D. S. Glildcn. The
advancement of his scholars and his OK
ccllent work in the school-room proves
him to be one of the most successful
teachers in this county Nearly all his
teaching is done without textbook in
hand. The members of this school recent
" inaugurated and managed Festival
for the purpose Of raising money to aid
the Destitute in Kansas" The net pro-
ceeds amounted to $40. This is right
Success in school means success out of
school. Very truly yours.

Tin Wedding.

We were absent a couple of days last
week attending the Tin Wedding of Mr..
J. c. Mitchell, a prominent business man
of Nevada, Iowa, and returned just as
our paper was going to press. This ami
versary occurred on the evening of Jan'y
Goth, and was attended by large number
of Nevada's others 1t does not fall to
the lot Of many men to be as successful
in every thing as Mr.. Mitchell has been.
But few short years ago hewcnt to Ne
yada, young man working on small
salary, and by strict attention to business
and through honesty and integrity has &C
cumulated goodly amount of this worlds
goods and is now one of;the leading bust
ness men Of Story County. And what he
has has been gained by strictly legitimate
business transactions and was not made
by specializing on the misfortunes Of 9TH
ers. We haveI no doubt but there are
hundreds Of farmers in Story County to-
day who owe much to. his sleniency and
kindness for this present prosperity.
The presents on this occasion were many
and varied, some useful, some ornament
al and others simply ludicrous
The affair was very pleasant one for
all present.
