The School Board Investigations.

We expected, at the time of going
to press with our last issue, to lay
before our readers this week the re-
suit of the investigation held last
week, but, since hearing the evidence,
the whole proceedings is such pal
pable farce, that we will not give it
publicity through these columns.
BY a private letter from Grants
vile, received on Tuesday of this
week, we were informed that the
reason DR.. Burns was not present at
the examination, was on account of
the serious illness of his wife; and
that he expected his attorney would
be here and conduct the case.
Judge Pearre was in town on Mon
day, looking into matters connected
with this investigation. After max
ing copy Of the proceedings and
giving it careful perusal. he seemed
very much Disguised with the whole
business, pronouncing it "A farce of
the first water. We shall await future
developments.
The committee to examine the
accounts Of the late Treasurer. did
not complete its labors last week, as
was anticipated, Mr.. Matthews being
compelled to 90 home on Saturday.
We have every reason to believe
that this committee will give a plain,
unvarnished statement of the condi-
ton of affairs, no matter who it may
place in an unenviable position before
the people Of the county.
The report of this committee will
be published as soon as completed.

NOVEL SECURITY.

A lady with a baby in her arms
and accompanied by her husband,
came to this city yesterday and en-
tered one of our Baltimore street
clothing houses for the purposes of
purchasing suit of clothing. They
examined some of the stock and ap-
peared to be pleased with suit, but
the lady, who seemed to be the active
party, concluded she would examine
the goods in another store few
doors off. The merchant used every
effort to sell, and finding the woman
resolved to go, he said that he was
sure she would not return. "Oh, yes
l WILL" she responded, but the mer-
chant was doubtful, SO many had
said SO and never returned, that he
had lost faith in all such promises.
Eyes" said the woman, "but | am
not that kind of a woman, and to
prove my sincerity, l will leave my
baby here until / return" The mer-
chant accepted the novel collateral,
and the little one was tenderly and
softly laid upon a pile of oyercoats
until the energetic woman should
call for it. The husband and wife left
the store and entered another, and
here it seems the husband found a
suit that pleased him better than any
he had seen in the first. Contrary to
the wishes of the wife the clothing
was bought of number two. Here
was a dilemma for the little woman.
Her child. her darling baby, her little
precious, was in pawn at the other
house. Her feelings can be better i'm
agined than described. At last she
mustered up all her resolution and
with her heart in her mouth proceed
ed to store number one, and faltered
out, "Please, sir, l want my baby"
The child was taken from the soft
bed of overcoasts and given into her

ing the merchant in his conviction
that "Call again customers" are not
to be relied on, and that it is not de-
sirable to keep babies upon pile of
overcoats as collateral security tor the
return of its mother.
ANOTHER NEWSPAPER GCNE.
1t is our painful duty to record the
demise of another newspaper. The
Piedmont wv. Va.,) independent"
has succumbed to the inevitable fate
of papers that with a limited capital
fail to enlist the patronage of the peo-
pie. The "Independent" has had a
life of vicissitude since it was started
by A. S. Trowbridge, esq.,, in 1857.
Later in its history it became the
organ of the Workingmen's party,
and struggled along in a precarious
manner and at last fell through. We
are sorry to record the death of any
journals, because it is the advertis-
ing medium of its section and local
ity, and its loss is to be estimated by
its influence and circulation.-Cun1
