On Saturday last the Town Board
of Hartwick township met for the pur-
pose of considering the matter OF the
deficiency In the accoun's OF }. W..
Ricketts,, late Township Treasurer.
The following members Of the Board
were present: s. Hawkins, Supervi o.;
A. j. Mapes, Clerk; Alf. Davis, Justice.
A. j. Wickman, Justice, was absent.
After due deliberation and discussion,
the Board voted to accept Of Mr.. Rick
etts mortgage on his farm for a part
of the deficiency, the amount Of $500,
payable In five years. Weare informed
that this Is considered good security;
although there Is q first mortgage on
the same premises for about the same
amount. The farm Is worth from
81, 200 to 81, 800. 1t Is understood that
this action Of the Board retains the
bondsmen, and Is part settlement OF
tive matter, except 1t may he to fore
close the mortgage. For the balance
of the deficiency the bondsmen have
become personally liable by mortgage.
-OsceOtd Outline.
Pshaw! What trouble about lit
tie matter! 1t isn't the way We do over
here! If q township treasurer comes
cut short OH the day of reckoning, we
allow him to keep the deficiency"
and re-elect him. 1t saves expense Of
extra sessions of the Boards, besides
doing away with talk and newspaper
articles which are so "repugnant" to
the high toned sensibilities Of our ''phi-
lanthropists."

Treasures Under the Sea.

An expedition is now being prepared at New York fer an errand of rare romance in this prosaie time Its object is to search, with all the appliances of modern science, for some of the unsunned hears" of jew els with which centuries of wars and wrecks are supposed to have strewed the bottom of the Spanish main One of the most gorgeous of the authentic tales of this enchanted region is that of the loss in 1915 of the Spanish treasure ship San Pedro Alcantara, with over s6,OO0,000 in gold, silver and precious stones, of the Venezu- elan shore. This vessel had been sent by King Ferdinand VII to convoy some pro- vision ships for .he fleet engaged in sub- .jugating to SpanishNrule the States along the south shore of the Caribbean sea. There were 1309 men on board, and the chests contained S3,00o,0oo in silver. On reaching Caracas revolution was found in progress, and the Spanish citizens has, tened to put their property on board the San Pedro. The gold alone amounted to s1,O00.00o, and the jewels probably to as much again, and this vast treasure was increased by more than as much more by adescent on some of the revolted towns on the coast and the earry:ng away of all the wealth the insatiate mariners could lay their hands on. The acquisition of these riches completely turned the heads of the Spaniards, and officers soldiers and sailors prepared to celebrate their fortune by a grand debauch. In the midst of their rev. elry the cry of fire was heard. The drunken mob, fighting desperately for the life boat, made no effort to save the treasure or to check the flames, which soon reached the powder magazine, and the huge three decker was instantly blown to fragments, almost all the lives destroyed and the un- told wealth of metals and jewels strewn over the bottom of the sea.
 Since that day one of the favorite under takings of marine adventurers has been to raise the lost treasures of the San Pedro Alcantara. These attempts have all failed from varietyof causes, chiefly the made quacy of diving and dredging appal atus to work effectively at the depth of over sixty feet, in which the vessel lies. Perhaps, in all, S500,000 have been recovered, which is but small proportion of the millions which undoubtedly repose there among the sands.
 The present expedition, however, which will start during the coming month, has good assurance of success, as Capt. l. H

Kew Uses for Asbestos.

Anianthus or flexible asbestos is be- ginning to attract good deal of attention in Euro-e It is found in Italy, the Alps and the Valley of Aosta. It is composite of silicate of magnesia, and is incombusti
 ble. The ancients understood how to weave the substance and make lamp wicks from it, and winding sheets for the dead, and when the corpse was placed on the pyre the ashes were found inside. Napo- leon the First had two shirts made from the material, which were bleached by fire. Lamp-wicks made of amianthus came much into vogue. under the Restoration. An cxhibition has just been opened in the Palace Simonetti, in Rome, in which the Marquis de Bairera shows that we have attained the skill of the ancents in the manufacture of the material. The Mar quis is working thirty or forty beds of as- bestos, and has effected several improve mentS in its manufacture. He shows It worked into thread and cloth, writing and printing papers, colored and board papers. Writing paper can be made from it at the relatively low prlce of four francs per kilo- gramme. This paper is manufactured at Tiroli, and is especially adapted for docu- ments, SSc Two inventors have discovered a large mine in the Pyrenees, and are about to use the output for variety of purposes and on large scale. They have manufac- tured from it amianthus coal, which gives out great heat and burns without car. bonic acid. As it burns extremely slowly, it is really very economical. The pulp, they are sure, will be made use Of for sta- tues, medallions and crucibles for the pre- cious metals. One of the largest spinners in France is employing it in the making of calicoes, &c, and if the article proves sat- isfactory, will proveof immense service to humanity in preventing accidents from

Why Soldiers Are Apt to XIII the
 Wounded

4 correspondent (Mr. A. H. Christie) sends LIS the following observations on the cross charges of barbarism in the field made by the Turks on the one side and the Russians on the other: q find floods of indignation poured upon either the brutal Turks or savage Russians for their alleged practice of stabbing the wounded. Now, sir, till you can blnd over wounded man to abstain from endeavoring to return that wound, it seems to me unreasonable to expect the wounder to refrain, by an extra prod, from making the wounded perfectly safe. If am gallant Turkish full private, struck down by the lance of Cossack, my first impulse, If am not seriously in- jured ana my rife is still loaded, is to dis charge that rife at the Cossaek as he rides on after having knocked me over. The Cossack, unless he is particularly great fool, knows my feeling, by sympathy, and will naturally, by second prod, outrage all the finer feelings Of the whole race of special correspondents, and at the same time secure himself against my natural impulses. It is really curious to observe how shriekingly tender hearted we have grown of late time; ot course, l merely mean when OFT own interests are not con- cerned The late Lord Macaulay was a man not devoid of kindly and hearty feel ings, but what are the words he puts into the mouth of nd-their-Kings-in chains and-their- nobles in links of iron-Obadiah, sergeant in Ireton's regiment?
 Hoi comrades, SCOUT the plai1,,
 And, ere ye strip the slain,
 First give another stab to make your search
 secure;
 Then shake from sleeves and pockets
 The broad pieces and lockets, The tokens of the wantOn, the plunder of
 the poor.
