charged them fifty cents extra to bring them
home.
Indian Matters.
A Fort Fetterman despatch of yesterday says
the expedition is now across the river, and will
move to-d day. A man from the Black Hills says
his companion was shot by the Indians on the way
and he lad helped bury some 10 men in the hills
who have been killed by the Indians. Gold dig.
ging is not profitable. Sioux are numbering and
plundering to a great extent. General Crook has
no doubt but Red Cloud abets the Indian raiders
and there are few able bodied Indians left at the

by the Sioux and their whole savage force will he

Some of our citizens are so enthusiastic on the
temperance question that they think the sale Of
soda water should be prohibited. Allow US to pres
ent a case for their arbitration: A certain mans
cow had free access to orchard last fall, and
probably apples formed portion Of her diet. This
bovine's milk has been used without any attention
whatever being paid to this fact. The question
now arises should not the sale OF this lacteal fluid
be forbidden, inasmuch as it is liable to create a
craving appetite for liquor:
The Ladies' Aid Society recc ntly gave two eve
ning's entertainment for the benefit Of the reform
club. The proceeds amounted to over two hun
dred dollars.
Farmers have been mourning over the back
wardness of the season. Some Of them who have
good orchards, propose to fight caterpillars in
stead Of planting much.
Specie is making its appearance, being seen as
a curiosity rather than medium Of change.
Summer clothing is being substituted for win
ter furs.

A Nevada paper chronicles some wonderful lo-
Gals that occurred right here in Augusta. A
specimen will please our readers:
Mr.. L. b. Perkins yesterday received by mail
two handsome pods OF beans, picked in his gar
den at Augusta, Maine on the Both of April from
q bean vine three feet and six inches in height
and still Maine is reckoned among the iceburg
countries. The name Augusta is what probably
induced the beans to make an early showing.
That is refreshing when it is understood that
on the 30th of April snow was on the ground here.
The fact is that the bean was grown in the house,
and sent out to Mr.. Perkins, who is in Silver City
Nevada. But the fact takes the backbone out Of
the item.

A Few More Figures for tn. Standard

n
MIR. EDITOR The Standard man answers the
enquiry "Ho,c was it done - very much as might
have been expected by any one acquainted with
its standard method of Misrepresentation of facts
do not intend to be drawn into any controversy in
this matter; any one acquainted with the simple
rules Of arithmetic can compare the official reports
for the years ending March 1868, and 1869, and
show the faaciousness Of the claimed reduction
of the city debt SS4 900. l understand the folly
Of stating facts for the benefit Of the Standard
man, but for the information Of your readers,
wish to call attention to few figures from the Of
fetal reports of the two years, 1867 and 1868.
In the report for the year 1867, page H. the city
debt is stated at 1864 SS435. During the year
1868 there were paid of the city debt, if the re-
port is to be credited, (see pages and l4) 81 500,
leaving the city debt $362 3S435, but it is reported
page Is OF the same year QS6s) $500, 10000
difference of SOL 1854 49, This is big leap into that
SS4 900, and accounts for majority Of it but it is
evident that the city debt is not correctly stated in
one case or the other, and it does not matter
which so far as the city is concerned. Again, a
clerical error in the report Of the year 1867, page
H. SITS tes the balance of Mutual Alliance certificate
at Sl3 o97 .OO instead of $3.50 the true sum stat
ed in the "Errata, another difference Of Sl2, PAL
90 which l trust the Standard will admit IS
small item.
One more item if you please report for the year
1867, page II, "Intercst on loans due within the
year" 81, 10000, becomes in the report for the
year 1868, Interest on notes and coupons over
due, uncalled for about S30OO0o another differ
ence of $l9, 100000, no mention being made of in
terest payable within the year, as q liability which
had been the uniform practice in the previous city
reports.
see if am not careful shall prove more than
is claimed for this new method of paying debts
without money, for these items from the two re-
ports indicate reduction Of $685. 1856 instead of
$S4 600, and to use the Standards own words
"And while you are about it just notice the last
item of resources on page ID, and you may possi-
bly, get it through your wool how the balance
against the city was reduced without the aid Of
appropriations"
That "last item" read, "Due from State on
equalizatio of bounties about $35, ,000." Well
$35 900 from the State will hardly pay $S4 900 even
with the aid of that 81 OS0 &C unexpended; better
make a respectable claim and add the $35, 900 to
the $93, ,l25 35 already shown. and get rousing
old democratic reduction Of $l2S, 1855, and all
without assessing q tax on the dear people, The
claim to the one is just as good as to the other.
Why not go in for it : Query.
