Robbery in the Treasury Department.

The United States treasury at Washington
was robbed one day last week Of $47 800 in
FIVE hundred dollar bills. 1t was done
after the bills had been put into an envel-
ope to 60 by express to the Park Bank, at
New York. At first it was believed to have
been taken by some one of the four clerks
who work in a space ten by twenty feet in a
large open room in which are twenty-five
others constantly at work. All the clerks
were searched by the officers who were called
on TO investigate the loss, the Cashier, Mr..
Wyman, being the FIRST upon whom the
search was made, but no money was dis
covered.
If the money cannot be recovered, General
Spinner, the outgoing Treasurer, is respou-
sible upon his bond, unless Congress shall
relieve him. Twice during his long admins.
tration of the Office there have been de-
falcations, but never for 80 large a sum as
this. la both instances he was relieved Of
the responsibility by Congress.

The North and sOuth

There has been no time since the late war,
when matters between the North and South
have appeared as favorably as now. This
is something that every good American Citi-
zen will rejoice over. We shall all rejoice
at this, for we have a feeling that the bond
Of union is being gradually but surely
strengthened, never more to be destroyed.
The sober good sense of the masses, at the
South as well as at the North, seems TO be
slowly gaining the ascendency, and is to-day
practically saying, "How foolish and profit
less this hate, strife, and want Of harmony"
The fact is, the great cause of all our pO-
litical troubles was slow in coming to a head,
and consequently the wound is slow to heal.
In essence we are one people, and must ever
remain 50.
The grand idea of liberty is a peculiar
product of the American mind. Whatever
may existin this country now or hereafter fa
sectionalo or local character, will be subordinat-
ed to the principles of national unity aud ma
tional freedom. The very air ofthese shoresis
fraught with the inspiration of liberty. The
sad trials we have been through will broad
en- our views of free institutions, strengthen
our love for them, and give us greater de-
termination to defend and to perpetuate
them forever.
There are several causes at work produc-
ing some of these immediate changes of ma
tiOnal feeling,a and perhaps none of them are Of
more weight than the work of the Centennlals.
An hundred years passes away, and in the
way of remembrance we are brought face to
face with the great causes, and the facts
that underlie our national existence. Emf
nent men all over the country are to-day
talking of this matter. Gen. Bartlett, Of
Richmond, Va, made an eloquent speech at
the Lexington Centennial, and on his arrival
home, the people, the soldiers, and the ex-
confederate officers turned out aud gave him
a grand serenade, to which he replied in a
short speech. He says "Your worst enemies
Of the South are the few men here and there
who talk more bravely than they fought,
and it is the same at the North. The SOL
diers are now friends, and if divided we
were terrible, united we are forever %invinci-
ble." Even Jefferson Davis, according to
the Nation, is preaching not only resigna-
ton and acquiescence, but a cheerful ad.
hesion to the new regime, and thinks 'the
South will make its contribution to the gen.
eral rejoicing next year. No doubt this ma.
tiODal good feeling will continue to increase
every day and every year. Let evil poll
ticians take pains to mind their own bust
ness hereafter, but if they do not, the sover-
eign people should plainly tell them to do SO.
Thank God, the light begins to shine on
American soil once more /! Let US see that
it be not dimmed hereafter by any bad leg.

permaueucy. Failing to abide this principle,
at least fifty per cent Of the real profit Of
our schools, for the last City years. has been
lost.
Another suggestion Of great Importance is,
the state must become what the family and
school have made il.
The American common school as planted
in New England and transplanted in every
free state in the Union. is, in an important
sense, a political institution, aud the very
corner stone Of our government. 1t is not a
purely scholastic, domestic, nor ecclesiastic
institution and yet il has a close connection
with the university, the family and the
church.
And the American people have their first
drill in public life. The child who enters
the public school-room, for the first time
knows public life and there can be no sub.
stitute for the peculiar education in citizen.
ship he there receives. A public school 10
America is a little republic, where children
Of all orders Of society, aud every grade Of
culture, are taught TO live together under q
common system Of law, governed by public
officials whose authority is backed by the
whole power Of the state. There he must

gent citizen. PARENs.

There are here and there one, but they
are, apparently, a small minority, who OPP
pose the abolition of the fifth degree in the
grange. One argument for the degree which
we hear used is that it is necessary that the
attendance at state and national grange
meetings be limited in some way, on account
of hall room, and w are told that in gov.
eminent assemblies Of different kinds are
necessary. Of course they are, and yet
there is no fifth degree there. "The policy
of q nation cannot be directed in town meet
ings;" but we imagine if nine-tenths Of the
towns should resolve, in town meeting, that
a certain law ought to be repealed, we should
see Congress and the policy of the nation
somehow going in the direction these town
meetings pointed. Not that they would be
directed in town meetings" of course, but
by an accidental coincidence.
Now we trust the question of the fifth de.
gree will be discussed and resolved upon il
every grange 10 Vermont and the East, that
the national grange may know what the East,
ern, as well as the Western oranges think
about it. And we hope, also, that the ma.
tiOnal grange will allow its policy to be di

Board of Agriculture.


The first session Of the Board meeting at
East Berkshire will be held at 8 o'clock a.
IN. Wednesday. The secretary has the
promise of ten papers On different subjects
connected with farm industry, four Of them
by members of the Board. The farmers in
the vicinity of Berkshire will, of course,
need no urging to induce them to turn out to
this meeting, but all others who can should
not miss the opportunity to be present. Even
people from over the line will receive a
hearty welcome and possibly go home with
enlarged views upon the great subject Of
agriculture. Let us have q full meeting at
East Berkshire.

Woot.-The principal transactions Of the
week have been in Californi u. the sales Of
new spring amounting to 700, 900 lbs, the
largest sales we have had to notice for some
time. Prices have ruled IN favor of buyers,
but on the whole have been satisfactory. Thu
range has been from 22i to 40c per lb, u small
lot of 5000 lbs, fancy spring selling ut 40c,
but the bulk of the sales have been in the
range Of 81 TO 36c per lh for good and choice
lots. The receipts of California have been
considerable and the stock of this description
Is now quite large.
Some lots of new Ohio fleece have been re-
ceived and other supplies are near ut hand.
Dealers and manufacturers appear to be quite
Indifferent about the new clip, and will hcsi-
tate to purchase to any extent except at lower
figures than growers are now willing to sub
NIT to. The sales so far have been prin-
cipally Mt 45c per 10 in Ohio, but this figure
is above the views of buyers generally. At
40 to Ace for Ohio aud Pennsylvania, and SO
to 40c for Wisconsin and Michigan the now
clip would be likely to move quite freely, but
at amy advance on these figures, buyers will
hesitate while trade generally is so depressed
and the prospect of an Improvement is 50
uncertain.

removed badly burned. Mr.. Mann then saw
a projecting foot and seized il, but the flames
compelled him to let 60. In a moment he

Lynch, drew out Lizzie Mescere. She was
severely burned upon the arm by FIRE which
caught after Mann 6rot seized her. Other
wise she was not injured, but was apparently
stone dead, her heart having ceased TO beat
p%erceptibly. Mann carried her one side and
worked over hcr some twenty minutes when
he was rewarded by signs Of life approach

The extraordinary accident in Boston, by
which an explosion under a saltwater foun-
tain left two buildings in ruins and OCCASION
ed the loss of five or six lives, needs further
investigation to determine its cause. The
most obvious explanation is that the carbonic
acid gas generated in the acrator was some-
how prevented from escaping rapidly enough
into the vessel where it is absorbed by the
water, and that its imprisoned bulk found an
outlet in the disastrous fashion described
in our paper Of last week. Should it
prove that a slight obstruction in the generat-
ing chamber Of the aerator of a saltwater
fountain is capable of causing an explosion
as that Of a package Of nitro glycerine, peo-
pie will begin to insist on som attention
being paid to the conditions under which ga
is manufactured for our sparkling summer

A curious and systematic trade 10 sermons
has sprung up recently in England. Many
Of the young men who enter the ministry Of
the Established Church do so without any
special fitness for IL aud without any training
in English composition. Such unhappy Gu.
rates soon yield to the temptations Of a cir
cular which is sent them, Offering ga regular
supply Of original sermons at l3s. Cd. a
quarter, in strict confidence" A shilling a
Sunday is a small sum to pay in lieu Of rack
ing one's brains all the week in composing a
sermon. The trouble is that when the prac.
tice is once commenced it is not easy to
abandon it. If the young curate becomes
ambitious to write his own sermons and cut
loose from the sermon agency, the purveyor
Of sermons refuses TO surrender his claim and
holds over the curate the threat Of exposure
if he withdraws. The correspondent who
communicates these facts to the London Times
wants to know what men are to do who thus
have Autographed sermons thrust upon them;
and there is a certain poiguancy Of distress
in his tone which would seem to indicate that
he has been a patron Of the agency.
