The increase in the number Of fail
ures Of the last quarter over the CORE
spending one of 1876 is G3, but this is
more than counterbalanced by the de-
crease Of liabilities, which was little
more than $40, 100000. For the three
years from the end of 1873 to the be-
ginning of 1877 the number of failures
in the United Stateswas %, 662, or less
than four per cent. of those engaged
in business at the end of 1873, while
the decline in the volume oftrade dur
ing that period is estimated at from
80 to 30 per cent. In relation to the
present condition of business the cir
cular of the mercantile agencysays eff
our people could learn, even for a
while, to be content with a day of small
things, the result of the past quarter
would not be disappointing. But I'M
happily the arrangements are for bust
ness on the grandest scale. Railroads
exist to accommodate twice the traffic
that offers warehouses large enough
to hold four times the needed supplies
ofthe country, while the number en-
gagged in the business of each locality
is far in excess of its average require
ments and although expenses and IA
cilities for an extent of trade only pos
sible in periods Of the widest eXpan-
sion. These are hardly the true stan
dards by which to measure either safety
or prosperity. Judged by more rea-
sonable standard, the experience of
the first three months of the year has
not been bad one. On the contrary,
though business has been small, it has
yielded fair return. In proportion to
the amount of business transacted the
profits have been better than for many
previous quarter. 1t is certain bus
mess is done at vastly less expense
than in former years, that values are
more settled, and, above all, that both
foreign and internal Indebtedness is
very materially reduced"

HYDE PARK, APRIL IS, 1877.

SalutatOTies are awkward things
generally. There hardly seems to he
one called for in our case. Nearly
every one in the county must have
become gware that this paper was
forthcoming. Indeed, Mr.. Earle has
set half the local papers of the State
to commenting on this Hyde Park en-
terprise.
Editing is new business for us, and
doubtless errors will he many. We
invite friendly criticism and will en-
deavor to profit thereby. The club
bing system, however, never did effect
ms favorably. Itsomehow always fail
ed to melt our heart and win our re-
spect and affection. We shall endeav-
or to show ourselves friendly to all, but
craven to none. TO the best of our
sbility, we will make this paper supply
sdcmand in many homes in the county,
not now supplied. Do not judge us
from the first or second issue but see
how we hold out in the long run. y 1t
is easier to squirt up and give a good
pGpcrGer.a few weeks, than TO continue
to do so the year round. None but
those who have had a, similar expert
ence, can appreciate the circumstances
under which we have been laboring in
issuing this first edition; mistakes in
filling orders, delays in freights, carpen-
tiers at work at our Office, typos con-
fused by curious spectators and our
selves bothered with a multitude Of
duties. We can do better than this
when we get settled into business. We
are sorry not to have been able to Sc
cure good local correspondent from
every town in the county, but vii! en-
deavor to do so for our next edition.
You shall have all the local news Of
the county, fresh every Wednesday,
and not old items culled from eX-
changes. Our subscription price is
only $50 per year, ifpaid in advance,
or $500 at the end Of the year. We
will stop papers promptly on notifca-
ton to do so, if there be no back ar
rearages.
That every one may have an oppor-
tunity to give us fair trial, we will
send the NEWS until the first of July
next for
ONE DIME.
Let those, however, who are friendly to
the enterprise and disposed to give us
their support, send their 81 80 along
1T once, and they shall have the paper
from the first issue, until one gear from
'he first OF july next. Cheap o,so~ya.
OVER Il MONTHS FOR $3.50.
Any one who has already paid ten
cents and will send us 81 40 be-
fore the first Of June, will receive the
paper until year from July next.
Should any one receive more than
one copy this week or for q few weeks
to come, will they not send it to some
former resident Of the county. Ifany
one desires copies to send to such
friends as they think would be suffi-
GENTLY interested to subscribe, let
them send to us and we will furnish q
specimen copy.

Meadow murderer, Lee, after twenty
years had elapsed. Less than twenty
years ago, Mr.. Tweed was State Sen
ator in Albany. His suite ofrooms en-
braced nearly one side Of the Delavan
House. AS he sat at his special table,
with his bloated form richly dressed
and rcsplendant with diamonds, we
have seen some of the leading men Of
the land sitting by his side, paying him
court, and seeking to win his favor by
Hattering his vanity. He seemed to
hold the city of New York and the
State, also, in the hollow of his hand.
A. Oakley Hall was his tool, being the
nominal mayor of the city. Richard
Connolly also was his subservient fol-
lower, and was comptroller. Peter B.
Sweeny, his adviser, shared with him
the spoils that he, unhinderedand with
sublime audasity secured. Watson
was the auditor and held the stolen
goods until they were divided. The
sudden death, by an accident, of the
latter, gave the first distinct clue to
the amazing frauds that had been per-
petrated for a succession Of years.
And now the best known of these gi-
gantic thieves is just creeping out Of
prison, having given up the chief por-
ton of his stolen property now remain
inc in his hands. The shrewdest and
most intelligent of the band, gentle
man in his taste and manners-Sweeny
comes back as a States evidence
against his companions, and with the
promise of the fraudulently acquired
treasure. The plant, plausible, pre-
suming, and pretentious mayor, who
supposed his tracks entirely covered,
escapes from the city between two
days. Mr.. Connolly, banished from
his beautiful home, travels in Europe,
forsaken man, like the wandering
jew, with no permanent rest for the
sole of his foot, or hope in the future
of recovering his self respect. The
minor criminals have all become aliens
from their homes or ruined men, and
are surviving both their property and
their reputation. Never was retri-
button more direct, more deserved, or
more effectual.- lions Herald.

The Game He Played Brought Him to
Grief.

The Game He Played Brought Him to
Grief.
Yesterday Mr.. M. A. Boniel, the proprietor OF
the Enterprise cigar store, appeared before Judge
Smith, and swore out an affidavit against one of
his employees, young man named Walter Price,
charging him with the embezzlement of 5000
worth OF cigars.
1t appears that last January the prosecutor
took the accused into his employ as salesman in
his store ON st. Charles street, the young man
having furnished good recommendations. He
had worked for him but few months when Mr..
Bonie discovered that number of his best cue
toners were leaving him.
An investigation into the affair revealed the
fact that some of his best brands of cigars had
been sold, and their places supplied with very
inferior article. This reused his suspicious and
he kept an eye on Price. MIR. Bonle, suspecting
that Price, when he did make the transfer made
1t at night, sat up with him Thursday night, and
when about to put his man to the test, sent him
to branch store to get 200 cigars.
While Price was absent the proprietor, ia COM
psny with two friends, searched the accused q
overcoat and found bundle OF very inferior
cigars. They took the bundle and marked each
cigar with Hebrew letter, and replaced the
cigars back in the coat pocket. Yesterday morn
ing Mr.. Boniel examined his stock Of goods and
found the cigars that he had marked the night
before distributed amongst some OF his best
brands.
This being conclusive proof against Price, the
affidavit WAS made and he was arrested by Court
Officer Adams and locked up in the Central Sta
ton.

The sugar.house on Acadia plantation, situated
on Bayou Lafourche, aud belonging to Ool Bob
Rivers, was burned down yesterday, destroying
fifty hogshsads of sugar, one hundred barrels Of
molassses and large quantity Of cane that was
laying under the shed. We hear that the prop
erty was not insured. This is quite severe loss,
especially at the time when the crop is being
taken off.
