Tuesday night Of last week the Inhabitants OF
this village came near being aroused by the cry Of
fire. which has Of late years been Of no uncommon
occurrence. 1t appears that II. l.. Whitcomb,
Esq, lawyer of this place, happened to be up
late upon the night in question; and having occa-
sion to use law book which he had left in the
court room day or two before, started after it.
When he entered the court house he was con-
fronted by dense smoke, and at once knowing
that something was wrong, commenced search
for the cause In a short time, however, he found
that small stick of wood had bee1 laid across the
stove and as the fire had not entirely gone out, it
had ignited. The discovery seasonable, and
by its means an old relic OF former days has been
spared. The Court House, we learn from Judge
Parker's History of Pennington, was raised IN
June, 1898 years ago-by an association OF in
diyiduals of different religious societies. 1t was
the first meeting house built at the Centre. The
eplc was erected in 1927, by voluntary subscrip-
Son, aud the house occupied BY the various
religious societies in proportion to their respective
interests. On the 9th day of June, 1899, it was
decided to tho County of Franklin, with the site
elled into a court room, and the lower one was
used for town or other meetings. The editice has
remained the same, and been used for the same
purpose to the present day.
During the first few days of last week it seemed
as if the elements of nature had conspired to rem
der this section dsagreeable to the human family

One ofthe n ost terrific and destructive stormstha,

Cured last Tuesday, uprooting trees Of the forest
and turning things upside down generally.
Monday morning dawned bright and clear, and
the voters of our town began to assemble at the
town house for the election of town officers for
the municipal year. The following officers were
chosen:
Selectmen, Thomas Nelson, Daniel W. Hiscock,
Jeremiah E. Plummer; Clerk, John Mclean; ;
Treasurer, T. c. Dole; S. S. Committee, Z. III.
Boynton Collector, Thos W. Baker.
Voted to raise the following sums Of money
school, 5000; ncidentals $500; poor $500
towards paying the town Indebtedness, $1,000.
All the officers are republicans, except first Sc
lectmen; though we seldom carry politics into our
town affairs. This is the first year we have voted
on the free high school act. 1t has some bitter
enemies among US, but it was the will of the peo-
pie TO try it this year. The people see that neigh
boring towns have outstripped them educationally,

that all will strive to make the school success.

More Faots.

There are, some facts which assist the
mind in forming an idea Of the magnitude
OF the sums stolen before the money Of
the people gets to the treasury. In 1870
a civil service reform commission Of emi.
nent Republicans said ia their carefully
drawn report:
It is calculated by those who have made
careful study Of all the facts, that one.fourth
OF the revenue is lost in collection.
And this estimate was made before the
discovery Of the whiskey ring, with its
stealings Of millions annually. The in
vestigations into the customhouse manage
ment of New York and New Orleans. tho
Sanborn frauds, the sales of captured cot
ton and other corruptions Of the partv.
compel the belief that the estimate of The
civil service commission is below the mark.
Then, in estimating the cost Of Republi-
can administration, must be taken into
account the $3.50, ,945, 1888 Of principal and
interest which has been imposed upon the
United States on account Of the Pacific
railroad, by the corrupt legislation Of the
party in power; also the 296, 900, 900 acres
Of the public land given away to corpora
tions and monopolies. The carpet-bag
governments of the South, set up and
maintained by the Republican party, in
creased the debts Of eleven States by the
enormous sum Of s172,685, $40. The

What the workingmsn Say.

AT regular meeting Of the Central
Committee Of the Stone Cutters Associa-
tion, held in Cleveland, Ohio, on Wednes-
day, August 30, 1876, the following reso-
lutions were unanimously passed.
Whereas, That Hon. Samuel J. Tilden.
Governor Of the State Of New York, on the
l4th day Of March, 1876, vetoed an act passed
by the Legislature Of that State, authorizing
and empowering the Prison Commissioners
not only to employ convict labor in the CON
struetion Of State buildings, but also TO con-
tract such labor to the highest bidder, to be
employed in cutting and dressing stoue, thus
bringing the illy-paid and lily performed labor
of eonvicts in competition with that Of honest
men:
Resolrsd, By the Central Committee Of the
Journeymen Stone Cutters Association Of
the United States and Canada, that Governor
Tilden, by this veto, has shown himself to be
the true friend of the workingmen, and we
hereby tender him our sincere thanks for his
manly and courageous stand in favor Of our
rights.
Resolped, That copy Of these resolutions
be forwarded to Gov. Tilden at Albany, N.

journal Of this association.

mittee, and SO could not have formed any
part Of his income in 1862.
Il seems proper to say that a return
made under oath, must be assumed to be
correct unless il can be shown to be false.
This attempt has been made by the Times
and growing bolder from day to day, its
efforts have finally eliminated in specif-
cation Of thirteen items, twelve Of which
are wholly or mainly fictitious. While
the Times was thus making excursions
into the regions Of fiction it seems to have
found it convenient TO overlook the posi-
bilities Of lawful deductions such as ex-
expenses, rent, interest and losses The
simple fact is, the amounts returned were
the net result Of income after taking out
the lawful deductions. For me il only
remains to assert that every fact within
my knowledge confirms the good faith
and adequacy of the returns, which were
verified by the affidavit of one who for
more than q generation had lived life
so pure and blameless that the breath of
calumny had failed to touch him, until by
the general voice Of great party he had
become their candidate for the highest
Office in the gift Of the people.
In respect to the allegation that after
two years Of income tax Mr.. Tilden made
no. return, but left that portion of his tax
which was in excess Of the payments for
his account made by the corporations,
whose bonds and stock he held, to be
assessed under the law by the estimate Of
the public officers, the answer Is simple.
The statute gave the taxpayer the
option to take that course, and good and
honorable reasons existed why scrupu-
lous man should accept that option. Mr..
Tilden received no favor fr0na the Gov
ernment officers and sought none. He
did nothing but pay all they imposed on
him. Nearly all his income from invest
ments paid the tax through the corpora
tions whose bonds and stocks he held
without allowance for the lawful deduc-
tions. On the residue, after the lawful
deductions were made, he believed at the
time that instead of paying less, he
oftener paid more than would have been
the result of full, but troublesome, ac-
counting. He preferred in that way to
be exempted from the difficulties incident
to attempting a specific statement of the
affairs in which he was interested, and Of
the corporations and business in which he
was an investor and also to be exempted
from the responsibility of adjudicating on
the facts and the law applicable to uncer-
tain and fuctuating elements during rapid
and violent changes of fictitious values.
The law was unsettled questions of real
difficulty existed Constructions we're set
up by officials which were often conflicting,
unintelligible or incapable of just or safe
application, and it was not agreeable to
make return on a doubtful or disputed
theory, or in contradiction to even un-
meritorious claims made in behalf Of the
Government. Respectfully yours,
JAMES p. SINNoTT.
