The County Board Of Supervisors at
its recent session released County
Treasurer Paine and his bondsmen
from all liability for the balance due
the County funds deposited in the
bank at Prescott. As we understand
the matter il may be briefly summed
up as follows: For years 1t has been
the custom of the County Treasurer
To deposit the County funds in the
bank above alluded to, in the name
of the County Treasurer, ana Mr..
Paine. rs honest and upright an official
as has ever held an Office in this
County, followed the precedent estab-
lished by his predecessors. In April
last the bank in question failed, with
eight or ten thousand dollars to the
credit of Pierce COunty's Treasurer.
installments have been paid on the
amount SO that the sum has been re-
duced to less than 5000, to recover
which, action will be commenced in
the United States Courts, and it is
thought that the whole amount may
yet be recovered. The loss. occasioned
by no neglect, dishonesty or incapaei-
ty of Mr.. Paine. il borne by that gen.
tleman would seriously embarass him
while to each taxpayer it would be
but tribe, if indeed any loss should
finally be sustained. Had the sum
been embezzled by Mr.. Paine, convert
ed TO his own use and squandered in
extravaganza or reckless speculation
the case N-0uld have been far different,
but rs facts really exist we can but
feel that the Board is amply justified
in its action relative to this matter.

Notwithstanding the short notice,
the reading by Prof. Cumnock, at the
Normal Chapel, last night, was well at
tended. 1t is unfortunate that this
gentleman came here 50 soon after Mr..
Burbank, as a comparison with the
latter can not be in his favor. The
Trial Scene and Horatius were tolera-
bly, well delivered: but the other Sc
lections were, by no means, happy.
The Irish and Scotch dialects were
simply failures the English was some
what better. Mr.. q. possesses a voice
far more powerful than that of Mr..
Burbank, but it lacks the smoothness
and 1eXibility of the latter. Lung
power is just the thing needed for tie
delivery of the selections first nell
toned but when the condition of a
school in The Schoolmaster' Guests is
described in tones loud enough to wake
the dead, it certainly detracts very
much from a proper enjoyment of the
selection. Mr. C.'s acting was tar
more elaborate, but not more effective
than that of Mr.. Burbank while his
reading was altogether inferior.

The State Board of Health is out in
a circular vigorously urging the public
to use every possible means to prevent
the spread of that dread disease. small
pox, which IS now quite prevalent in
different portions of the State. The
smallpox is pronounced by the Board
pre-eminently a preventable disease,
and careful vaccination and re-vacci-
nation is strenuOuSly insisted upon.
Three conditions should be observed ::
Ist-The virus used must be vigorous
and pure; 2d-The operation must be
skilfully and properly performed; 3D.
Re-vaccination should be frequently
practiced. Bovine virus is recon-
mended as being free from all objec-
tiOns and safe in all cases. The utmost
isolation of every case of smallpox
which may occur is suggested as a
means of preventing the spread Of the
disease.

in tins way: "Why, Mrs., I'm as

think of voting for Cannon? He has
four wives, and. being a woman, you
know he cannot love them all as he
ought to. He is brute. Take this
ticket and vote for Baskin, man who
does not believe in degrading women -
The Gentle ladies turned out in full
force, voted like men, and did all their
talking afterwards. The votes of sew
eral Mormon women were challenged
by GENTLE men, who did so with ex-

men were perfectly shocked, and SEEM
