that Gov. Hayes will take the oath
of office and assume the position OF
President on Sunday March 4th.
There are a few foolish Democrats,
confined mostly to those whom their
constituents have refused to re elect,
who are trying to impede the count
so as to carry decision by the 4th
of March, in which case new cleo
ton would be necessary, but there
are not enough of these hOt-heads
to carry out their revolutionary
scheme, and there is but little doubt
that by Friday afternoon or Satur-
day morning Hayes will he declar'
ed elected. 1t is now understood
that there will be no Inauguration
pageantry.

HAVERHILL.
The exhibition given by the schol
ars of district No. 2, on Friday eve
ming was an affair of which they,
and their teacher, Miss Nelson, may
well be proud. The exercises, which
consisted of what usually goes to
make up, an entertainment of the
kind, were listened to with pleas
ure, by a large and attentive audi
ence. Music was furnished by Miss
Arrabelle Nelson. Although some
little difficulty was experienced by
Miss Nelson in regard to the hall
in which to hold her exhibition, vet
she persevered and come off with
flying colOrs.

THE NEWSPAPERS.
Newspaper property is about the
worst thing to have in New York.
The Herald which used to make a
profit of seven or eight hundred
thousand dollars per year, is only a
little more than paying it's expenses.
1t charges 40 cents line for adver-
Using, and gets all this "wants,"
"for sales," and what is known as
servant girl advertising. But the
servant girls havn't got any money
now, and it's pages are bare. The
Tribune is losing money, the Times
is just holding it's own, and hardly
that, the San is making something,
but not much, and the rest are sink
ing money. People have no more
interest in newspapers than they
have in anything else, but nothing
so we'll and truly indicates the con.
dition of business as the condition
of newspapers. The hard times
cuts off circulation, and in bad times
there is nothing to induce the adj
vertiser to make investments. There
are no bonds selling now, the man
ufacturers are selling close to the
wind, the times are too hard for
swindles even, and so the revenues
ofthe newspapers are cut down very
close. They are all struggling along,
however, hoping with everybody
else for the good times that are to
come.
Generally is very bad, though a lit,
tie improved since last week. 1t is
safe to expect a steady improve.
ment right along now. The mills
in New England have started up,
and trade from that section is i'm.
proved. The South and West is
coming in more freely, and the pros.
pect for moderate trade in the
Spring is promising. One manu-.
factoring house up town that has
been running on half times goes in
to full time next Monday, and a
great many more are increasing to
seven and eigh6 hours. The out
look is decidedly better.

Wall street banking house was sus.

money that belonged to the bank.
The president, to assure himself,
put a detective on his track and it
was made a certain thing that he
was living a long way ahead of his
salary, and that he could not carry
his expenses without stealing at
least ten thousand year. The
president took him into his private

gravity, informed the cashier that
all his outgoings and incomings
were known-that he spent his
nights at certain house up town.
