The Contracts for Burning the Pra-
ries.

Our readers will recall the fact that the
County Board Contracted, with different
parties, to burn strips around the west and
south sides of the County and through the
centre from east to west and north to south.
The contract was that the strip burned
should be not less than twenty rods wide.
The minutes Of the Board meeting Of last
Saturday, published this week, shows that
different members of the Board report the
burning completed, except two miles, and
order the pay ment Of the bills subject to a
delay Of thirty days for any appeal that
may be made. The contracts amount to =
little over $500. Statements come from
various quarters that the terms Of this con.
tract have, in no sense. been complied
with; that, for miles no burning was done
only two burrows plowed aud, taken all TO-
gether, the work was not done In man
ner to Be Of any protection to the County.
We have no personal knowledge a. to
the truth or falsity Of the complaints. Our
acquaintance with the contractors does not
warrant US in believing that they would
report work done when It was not done
aud accept money for It: Internationally,
there is . strong feeling slLons the people
that tue transaction ia unjust to the COM.
IT,. The Board. very wisely, furnishes An
opportunity to ventilate the matter before
tue money is paid. II any person in tn.
County is in possession Of any facts going
to show that the work was not done &C.
oording to contract, now il the time to Pre-.
sent them. If these men have not full.
fulled their contracts It will be . swindle
on the County to pay them and those per.
sons, who know the facts and keep quiet
in the matter can consider themselvs par-
ties to the swindle. On the other hand.
II the contractors have done their work
properly It would be = swindle not 70 pay
them and very unjust to delay payment.
For urpart, We want this matter settled
now. II there Is fraud, Va want Il un-
earthed and the perpetrators punished !:

There is but one story comes back from
those who, frightened by the grazsnoppers,
sell their property in this locality At sac
rifce and start out in search of bette,
country. We know Of very few who have
tried it but those few, as far as We have
heard from them, regard the move a =
great mistake. The Messenger says:
Caster writes that if there ever was
. natural born fool, its he. He left
here to fiud better country, and is in
southwestern Iowa with ten inches OF
snow, no feed or shelter, and plenty Of
grasshopper eggs to remind him Of
home. Other parties have lately come
up from the eastetn part Of this state,
and report that they can't get work to
do, and times seem as hard there as
here, or more so. Endure the ills you

Chinese superstition.

Western nations can form no concep-
ton of the strength with which the super
stitious ideas OF the Chinese are now be-

greatly exercised by the doings of the
revived secret society originally founded
for the purpose of cutting off the adored
pig-tails. Although this crusade may
appear Imaginable TO us, A. is very seri-

of the society believe that the habit of
wearing long queues tends to effeminacy,

Horrible Cruelty.

John O'Shaughnessy was convict Of
about Is years of age, who hailed from
Kingston. On the 9th of April, 1875,
he was confined in the dark cell for
some trivial act of characterization,
forced from him by the exasperating
Stedman, who tantalized the fellow into
making some offensive retort to the
taunts of the deputy. For this trihing
offense this unfortunate man was
chained up in standing posture for five
days and five nights, his feet and hands
painfully shackled to rings in the wall,
only to be relieved for short intervals to
enable him to partake Of the meager al
lowance of bread aud water allotted to
him three times in each twenty-four
hours. His toes had been rendered
powerless by frost before his entrance
into the prison, and the result of this
was that his torture was rendered more
intense, owing to the fact that he had,
for the greater part of the time, to sup
port himself by his wrists, as encircled
in the cruel rings in the wall. All the
power was gone from his toes, and, as
he had to stand on them in order to re-
lieve the torturing strain on his wrists,
IL Lltiy Uo iulttSlucu Wllstu CIuOi uuS iiSh
the poor victim endured during these
120 hours of chatting night and day. A
more CALLING or fretting process OF rack
ing torture it is hardly possible to i'm
agine. The writings of the pitiful con-
vict, rs he vainly endeavored to mol
lily his anguish by shifting about as
well as his manacles would permit, have
been described as heart rending. Each
new change of position only brought a
keener agony, and there was an indie
scribable depth of suffering expressed
in his oft-repeated expression, as the
hours dragged their slow length along,
"Thank God, there's another hour
gone" When finally he was released
from his torture, his wrists and ankles
were terribly swollen, and he was wholly
unable to walk. Had he not been a man
of splendid constitution he could not
have survived SO exhausting an ordeal.
A more brutal or inhuman device for
inhicting agony on human flesh and
blood it is impossible to conceive. When
an appeal was made to Stedman to put a
termination to the sufferings of this
man, and it was represented to him that
the convict was in danger of dying from
his extreme suffering, the unrelenting,
unfeeling official replied, ''Let the -

. The Cologne Gazette contained an ac-
count of combat which took place in
the Geological Gardens Of that city be-
tween two Polar bears, which, that jour-
nal remarks, ga Roman Emperor
would assuredly have paid million SEES
tertii to witness" These two bears
had been brouGh tfrom Spitzbergen five
years ago, and had been placed in a
large pit, with tank In the center.
Until within the past few days they
had remained upon excellent terms with
each other, but last week q quarrel oc-
CURED between them, the result Of
which was that the female bear took
refuge upon the summit of large rock
in one corner of the pit. The male did
not attempt to follow her, and she re-
manned there three days, when, pressed
by hunger, she descended again. AS
soon as the male bear saw her he imme-
diately rushed at her and attacked her
with his fore paws. The keeper at
tempted to separate them, and belabored
the male with heavy iron bars, but the
bones in the head of the polar bear are
SO much harder than those of the ordi-
nary bear that these blows took no eff
feet. The male bear continued to wreak
his vengeance upon his companion,
and, after having almost torn her body
into ribbons, he dragged her to the bot
tom of the tank and held her until he felt
assured that all signs of life were ex-
tinct. He then brought her body back
to the floor of the pit and dragged it
round the tank for nearly an hour. Az
ter this he Withdrew into his sleeping
den to rest from his labors, and the
keepers at once closed the iron bars
upon him.
Having examined the body of the
dead bear, they found that it had re-
ceived more than a hundred wounds
the neck and head were crushed almost
to jelly, and the flesh was hanging in
strips from the back and sides. During
the whole combat neither of the bears
uttered cry or sound of any kind but,
except in this particular, it must have
borne singular resemblance to what
may sometimes be seen ia Lancashire
without paying million sesterii.
