sioners and the Centennial Board
Of Finance, the latter contending
that as they are entrusted with the
money and their officers are under
heavy bonds for the proper expend-
iture of it, they should have abso.
lutte control Of the funds. They
therefore decline to pay some use
less salaries and other extrava-
gances. The preponderance of le-
gal opinion and public sympathy
appears to be with the Board Of
Finance, who have so judiciously
guarded the purse-strings against
the moonshine of pompous figure
heads. Arrangements for the 4th
of July demonstrations are in pro-
gress, though there are indications
that the parade won't be so large
an affair as was contemplated. A
disposition was manifested on the
part of the commission to have the
ceremonies take place within the
Centennial Grounds, but good sense
has prevailed to make it free show
on that day, and Independence
Square has been selected as the
spot. Governor llartranft will take
command. Governor Tildcn will
also appear at the head Of the New
York column. New York could
turn out splendid display but no
appropriation was made by the leg
islature for expenses of regiments
and only some of the wealthier ones
will be able to come without that
aid.
The new bell for independence
Hall arrived from Troy day or two
ago. 1t is delicate little thing,
weighing only 1900 pounds and
measuring seven feet in height and
23I in circumference. Some Of the
material Of which it is cast was
melted from old cannons captured
from the British at Saratoga in the
revolutionary war. The bell bears
the modest inscription: "Presented
to the city of Philadelphia, July 4,
1876, for the beliry of Independ-
ence Hall, by citizen" Around
the lip is the motto, "Proclaim lib
erty throughout all the land unto
all the inhabitants thereof" and at
the top, "Glory to God in the high
est, and on earth peace, good will
toward men," 1t will be hung in
the belfry at once but will not be
rung until noon on July 4th, when
it will peal forth thirteen strokes,
one for each of the original States.
Thousands of people have en-
gagged quarters here for periods
ranging from the 25th inst, to the
10th of July, and on the Fourth the
crowd will be immense.

EDITOR STAR:--The recent coun-
ty convention, held at this place,
for appointing delegates to the sew
eral conventions, passed a resolu-
ton instructing the Oscoola county
delegates to the Senatorial Con-
vention to support Judge Burch, of
Hcrsey, for State Senator. The
convention was composed of first
class men, and was we'll attended,
and l consider it very favorable
indication that they were unani-
nous in their choice of Judge Durch.
In the same resolution, Hon. N. l..
Gcrrish was unanimously selected
as Osceola's candidate for a second
term as State Representative.
Lake county is not in this Rep
resentativc District, this year, but,
as he has many warm friends there,
I thought it would be an item of
interest. Judge Burch has, also,
very many friends in Lake, and
they will undoubtedly agree with
me that no better selection can be
made. j. +. r.
The Lake County star., 1876-06-22


FROM the Outline we learn that
at the delegate convention, held i'll
Hersey, last week, the following
were selected as delegates to the
coming conventions:
State-Asahel Chase, ID. A. Blod-
gett.
Congressional. G. Dexter, e..
G. Raymond.
Senatorial-N. l.. Gcrrish, NJ. b.
Houghton, ]. w. Matthews.
Representatives.. G. Jones, j.
n. Crockcr, G. o. Trumbull, c. NJ.
Beardslcy, ID. M. Mcclellan, IL. A.
Clark. L. w. Trout, A. G. Tenant,
+. S. Robbins, ID. l.. Dumon, b. G..
Moulton, j. NJ. Wilkinson.
The convention endorsed Judge
Burch, of Herscy, as its choice for
candidate in the race for State Sen
ator from the District composed of
Manistee, Mason, Lake, Oceana,
Newaygo, Mecosta and Osceola
counties. 1t is, of course, too ear
ly for safe prediction as to who
will be the choice of the Rcpubli-
cans, when they come to assemble
in Senatorial Convention; but we
feel sure that no better choice can
be made, and are confident that it
would suit the Republicans of Lake
county as well, if not better than
any which could be made.

WE clip the following from the
Osceola Outline, as applicable to
Republicans of this county, as we'll:
During the coming contest we
hope to see the Republicans of Os-
ceola county standing firmly togeth-
er in support Of their whole ticket.
This is the safest and best course to
pursue, as we are satisfied that great
care will be taken to nominate the
best men in the party. The issues
at stake in the Fall are of more
than usual Importance, and any di-
vision will only encourage defeat.
We also, trust that every effort will
be made to maintain harmony and
good feeling, and that all sections
of the county will be found work
ing together for the general good. .

The difficulty of getting pure Teas of
really fine quality in the United States,
has induced THE WEIIsTE COMPANY
to ship their Teas i'm sealed packages
direct from the gardens i'm Which they
are grown, and as Il further guarantee
of their being delivered in their gcn-
uine state, they enlrli3t the sale of them
only to reliable Agents--thc numc Of
the nearest Agent to you is printed at
the foot of this dvcrtiscmcnt-so that
the Teas pass through none but rcspon-
siblc hands, and will be delivered at
your own door as fresh as when they
left the gardens of China and Japan;
the price also is printed on each pack
age, SO that no error can occur.
Everybody buys Tea.
Everybody wishes to buy it at first
hands-thc best qualities ut the lowest
prices.
Everybody desircs-whcn they find
n Tea suitable to their tastes-to be cer-
| tain of getting the same article always.
You can have all these advantages
by buying Of
The Wells Tea Company.
Because they import their own Teas,
and sell them ut wholesale prices

Because the quality is better at the
price than is sold by any other house.
Because their long experience in

and to import them with greater add
| vantagCs.
Because they absolutely guarantee
the quality of all their goods-and keep
them to one invariablc standard, so
that you can always rely on them.
Because they do business for cash
only-and therefore make no extra
profit from good customers to cover
losses by bad debts.
Because their agents are responsible
and reliable men-who deliver Teas

Because having once tried these Teas,
you will not need to go elsewhere here

Cruelty to Animals among the canal boats IN the

OF the animals Tho inspecting party consisted OF
Superintendent fairfield, officers Evans and Fields and
q veterinary surgeon. They made thor
ougn inspection OF the canal boats lying at

be understood that, while nearly every boat
coming to this city from the Eric Canal brings with 1t
three horses mules, tho captains rarely bring
their worst stock. These LETT in the stables at
Troy to be doctored Therefore an inspection Of the
animals the boats in the East River fails to givo
proper idea OF the actual condition OF tho majority OF
the animals at work on the cana.
The writer accompanied the officers on their inspec-
ton, and though they found some OF the an mails with
sound shoulders by far the great majority Of them bore
terrible evidence OF the cruelty TO which they had
been subjected Raw bleeding soros on the shoulders,
ten inches long and four inches widc by actual meas
urement, were found here and there among the poor
brucs, while deep, raw patches OF from three to i've
inches in circumference were frequent The owners
Of such ANIMALS wero found to be in really good con-
dion told The writer that there was earthly excuse
for boatman's permitting his stock TO become badly
Called while on The other hand the propretors OF tho
raw shouldered ANIMALS protested that they could not
prevent the condition in which their horses and mules
Below will be found ow OF the names OF boats and
