A COW belonging to Mr.. Williamson
undoubtedly has a mortal enemy. On
Saturday as Mr.. w. was working in
the lot in which she is kept he came
upon a loaf of bread, which on open
ing he found to be thoroughly
sprinkled with corrosive sublimate
and arsenic. 1t had evidently been
thrown over the fence with the in
tent to kill the cow. The animal Is
reported to be gentle and not per-
mitted out so as to trouble any one.
Why any attempt to kill her is made
is the great mystery that her irate
owner is trying to solve.

A Delightful Excursion.

The Silver Cornet Band OF Plym-
outh had a most delightful time at
Maxenkuckee Lake on Saturday last.
They rugged up a band wagon and
left Plymouth about 6 o'clock a. m.
and after a pleasant ride of three
hours, arrived at the Allegheny
House on the banks OF the Lake,
kept by Mr.. Peter Spangler, where
after refreshing themselves with
plenty OF the purest and coolest wa
ter, they saluted the town and Lake
with some OF their choicest pieces Of
music, to the great delight OF the
citizens.
Mr.. Spangler then took the band
on board of one of his large boats
and rowed them down the Lake to
the quarters OF three indianapolis
gentlemen who are rusticating on
the cast side on one of the most
beautiful points Of view on the Lake.
On the approach Of the band they
run up the stars and stripes on their
boat house, which was promptly
saluted by the band, with our Flag
is There" and other music. After
which they landed and were con-
Quoted to the tents of the Indianapo-
lis party whose hospitable treatment
OF the band was in all respects a
success and will long be remembered.
The band then returned to the Hotel
where they were served with a din
ner in praise OF which too much can
not be said. 1t proved in a most
frocible manner that Mr.. and Mrs.
Spangler understand how to minis
ter satisfactorily to the tastes Of
hungry wayfarers.
After dinner the band went aboard
of Mr.. Scots fine sail boat, under the
management OF Mr.. Farnham and a
very stiff breeze from a passing
storm, the thunder OF which and the
gusts OF wind and spray did not
mingle very tremendously with the
sounds Of the instruments, yet 1t
added great speed to the boat
without materially quickening the
time OF the tunes producing a wild
enjoyment to all on board, and send
ing the party across the Lake In a
little more than double quick.
Sailing down the south side OF the
Lake they arrived at Union Town
Ga rival town situated on a bog,
there the wind refused its Office and
left the boat 10 a dead calm, which
gave the enterprising citizens OF that
modest burgh an opportunity Of
hearing the band for nothing which
they declined to employ for their
coming Sunday school celebration
for the mere expense OF bringing
them to their town.
After lacking about for some time,
without making any progress, the
sail boat was towed to Maxenkuckee
landing by one of the row boats, ar
irving at the hotel at 6 o'clock p. m.
where splendid supper awaited the
boys, and the kind host and hostess
of the Allegheny House incurred
the unending gratitude OF the menu
bers OF the band, on account OF the
liberal entertainment and the nomin-
al charges therefore. Everybody
appeared delighted and pleased, and
nothing occurred to mar the general
good feeling manifested by every one
except the time for parting, which all
declared to be too soon, 1t was emil
vened however by few lively tunes
and the boys left. arriving In Plym-
outh at IL o'clock p. m. without &C.
cidenr highly elated with the unal.
loyed pleasures Of the excursion.

II there was ia the county revenue
on the first OF June, 1877 IA, 28S49
and uncollecten taxes on the dupli-
cate OF s46, 997.5s and only an indebt-
edness against the county OF $50, 600.23
leaving a balance Of SIC. 6SS. &c of cash
besides the delinquent tax, largo
portion OK which will be collected.
Why did the commissioners levy a
tax for the ensuing year OF 40 cents
on each 500 to redeem bonds" ard
40 cents on each 500, and 80 sents
on each poll for county revenue?"
which would raise under the assess
ment OF 1876 over $25, 900 which added
to the $10,6SS would make in county
treasury s35,6ss. Will the commits
sioners, who are the financial agents
OF the county, explain what they in
tend to do with this money? Is it
necessary to keep up the balances OF
some bank, or is 1t necessary for the
county officials to keep about 500. 900
on hand for fear they might get out
OF money? Or is it to be loaned?
And this "loaning" suggests another
question, which is this, whether the
balance OF building fund reported by
the Auditor $3,73412 covers the
amounts uncollected OF the fund
loaned, and the amounts in hands Of
the county's attorney? The tax-pay-
ers would like to know about these
matters before paying the tax of
1877. Will one Of our County Faith
ers" rise and explain?

Prof. Straub was ia Plymouth three

vate speculation; just as much so
as Little Mack's clothing store. The
board OF education should not have
let the Normal in; and the snubbing
received from the specializing Strauh
is to be commended rather than
condemned.

Over Old Times.

The Boston Post relates the follow
ing: A small party Of gentlemen were
at table recently with tho jovial captain
of one of the steamers running between
Boston and Liverpool, when the Eng
lishman, alluding to the late war in the
United States, said he paid the States q
number of visits when it cost him some
risk to do so. He explained by saying
that he had been blockade runner, and
he became quite merry while showing
how he had lodged the Federal cruisers
off Wilmington. N. O., and slipped In
and out, to and from that harbor, five
times during the closing months OF the
war. While on his sixth trip he was
chased ashore, his vessel ruined, and he
escaped to terra frma by the aid OF q
ladder over his steamers bow. "Oh, it
was fun p exclaimed. the captain /;
"sometimes they plunked it into me
pretty hot, but they never did me any
hurt in that way. Three rows of cotton
bales make a pretty safe armor. you
know" He then mentioned incident
ally that certain sentinel cutter used to
cause him the most trouble. and that he
finally determined to run her down to
prevent a warning signal to the blockad-
ing fleet. "It was n dark night" con-
tinued the captain, " and was slipping
out close i'll shore, when that cutter
showed herself in front of me-" Aftsra
pause he added: !" Well, we went right
over her; she didn't signal anybody that
night. "Was your steamer the Kate,
captain ?" asked very quiet gentleman
at the foot of the table. YES" was the
somewhat surprised reply. "Well, I
was in command Of that cutter, and you
didn't run me down quite 30 much as
you think you did" A laugh at the
captains expense followed this, and it
was renewed as the quietman continued:
"Aud I was on tho gunooat that chased
you ashore. The Kate wasn't hurt
much, either, for we got her off, and
she is now somewhere about New York. "
No one was more amused at the turn
things had taken than the captain him
self, and philosophical remark some
one made about what the whirligig Of
time may bring about was lost in the
general merriment.

Forced into the Mexican Army.

The Brownsville (Te1as) Sentinel
says: About dozen youths, some Of
them American born and others Of
Mexican origin, were invited Sunday to
o party at Puertas Verde, Mexico, just
outside of the Matamoras Notifications.
While enjoying themselves, party of
revolutionists came down on them and
took the young men prisoners. There
were two cripples in the party, but they
were turned loose; the rest were
marched of and placed in the ranks.
The young men, in going over the river
to the feast provided by their friends,
showed want OF forethought, but it
looks as if they were led into the trap
for what purpose time will tell. The
arresting and carrying them away was a
gross outrage on the part Of the revolu-
tionists. Most of them are Americans,
and, as such, neither Of the contending
factions have the right to commit such
acts Of oppression.

Which Died Last =?

For long time Surrogate Veeder, Of
Brooklyn, n. Y, has had under investi-
cation an important case arising out OF
the loss of Henry Rogers and bis wife
Rebecca L., who perished at sea in the
disaster which befel the steamer City Of
Waco, of Galveston, Texas. Deceased
were passengers on the steamer, and
when it was found they had perished
Mr.. g. w. Rogers, brother of deceased,
obtained letters of administration to the
estate. Mrs. Rogers left SIS, 600 in the
williamsburg savings bank, AMI sister
of Mrs. Rogers, who resided in Eng
land, applied through the public ad-
ministrator to have the letters Of ad-
ministration in regard to the SIS, 900 re-
voked, claiming that she WAS next Of
kin. It was held on the part Of Mr.. O.
W. Rogers that his brother being
stronger than his wife, must have sur
yived her short time at least, and she
having died first, the money naturally
reverted to him, and it would then fall
to his heirs. Surrogate Veeder has re-
voked the letters of administration
granted to MIR. Rogers, and the sister of
Mrs. Rogers will, therefore, get the

Up the Rocky Mountains.

; We leave Denver, says traveller, for
short stay among the Rocky noun
tains, bound Srst for Central City.
After riding for about On hour, We
change cars on q narrow gauge railroad,
and from this point the scenery is OF the
very widest description. The road it
self, built as it is along the banks OF
streams, and through cuts in the solid
rock which now rises so high above
your head that it almost shuts out the
sky, is tribute to mans superiority to
the obstacles nature has placed in bis
way. AS We stop minute before q
very steep ascent, I go forward and ask
permission of the engineer to ride by his
side, believing that one cannot obtain
an adequate view of the magnificent
scenery through which we are about to
pass while sitting in the cars. The en-
giueer, however, says that, as the road
is narrow gauge, the cab is only just big
enough for himself and the fireman.
"But," says he, "many Eastern men
ride up this canyon on the cowcatcher."
After assuring me that it is perfectly
safe, as ho can by no means travel at
express ratio, he places broad board on
the cowcatcher; aud, when I have taken
my seat, with my hand firmly grasping
the signal flag, the engine gave q shrill
whistle, and off We start. For the first
five minutes I really enjoy my novel
manner OF locomotion. "This, said 1,

The result will be the same in either

bing engine pushes me on. AS we pass
