CANTON has a sensation. On Thurs
day last it was discovered that George
Fessler, the Treasurer of Stark COun-
ty, was a defaulter to the amount of
from $4,000 to $4,000, and has left
for parts unknown. He had been alb.
sent since the Saturday evening pre-
yious. The first suspicion of any dis
crepancy in the funds was the discOv-
cry by the Deputy Treasurer that the
time-lock, when he closed the safe
Monday evening, failed to lock the
money-chest as usual, the time set be.
ing 5 p. m. He Immediately commu-
nlcated the fact to the County Com
missioners, when an examination of
the lpnds was had. 1t was discovered,
ON e6mparison of the books with the
money, that there was cash deficit of
$35, 900 of the June collection. The
Commissioners, therefore, took pos-
session of the Office and closed the
doors.
The defaulting Treasurer is suppos-
ed to be safely lodged in Canada.

On the evening before the meeting of
the Democratic State Convention, the
correspondent of the Enquirer inter-

at Columbus, among the number was
Judge Biehn, of Brown county, who

tion," said the Judge, "by an incident
that occurred to me in Europe, during
the FrancO-P Prussian war. I was trav-

picking up the newspaper, he said !:

the fact that if our Government would
receive greenbacks at par for customs

HOEATIo SEYMOUR has for some
time been in correspondence with the
War Department i'll relation to the
question of adopting cheese rs a ration
in our army. He has so far succeeded
in his attempts, which have been Sec
onded by Senators Conkling and Ker-
nan, that Government agent is soon
to be sent to investigate the matter.
Governor Seymour believes that if
this measure should succeed in the
United States army it would eventu-
ally be adopted by European armies
also, and thus furnish new and large
field to be supplied by this important
branch of our farming industry.

The Pittsburgh Post says: "An anal
ysis of appropriation legislation at the
late session of Congress, made by
Chairman Atkins, of the appropriation
committee, makes q better showing
estimates for all bills amounted to
&l76, 228, ,34S. 81 the bills as they pass
ed the House appropriated $145, 1885,
1905, and as they finally passed both
Houses they appropriated $15S 1873 1885,
q. which is, therefore, the amount ap-
propriated for the next fiscal year. It
will be noticed that the House reduc-
ed the appropriation $50, 453, 245.26 be-
low the Department estimates, and
that the Senate forced an increase of
Sl2 900 800. %, which would have been
increased much more but for the Obsti-
macy of the House cOnferees. This
compares with the amounts appropri-
ated for the fiscal year ending 1876, or

A correspondent IN London writes
on the commercial relations existing
between this country and Europe, and
says: This year l understand you
will have q very fine harvest. can
only say that it will be wanted in Eu-
rope. Russia has not grown much
more grain than she wants, and the
yield here will be comparatively small,
Europe must go across the Atlantic for
what she needs to make up her def.
clent supply Of food. And then rec
ollect that it is not for grain only that
England now comes with money in
her hands to United States ports. The
sale of American beef is simply enOr-
nous, considering that even when l
left New York in 1876 this trade was
almost, if not quite, unknown. And
now we pay something like $4,000,
coo a year Tor American beef, and the
business is constantly increasing. So
that for the stall of life" and large
proportion of the meat consumed, this
country must depend very greatly on
the United States. These are the facts
draw from them what conclusions
YOU will. There is a conclusion which
I should be disposed to draw, namely,
that this state of affairs must inevita-
bly, restore your long lost prosperity.
1t is an i'll wind that blows no one any
good. Foreign capital must necessa-
rily pour into the country making up
in q large measure for the losses OF the
last few years and infusing new life
and energy into all departments OF
trade. This is as certain rs as that the
sun will rise tomorrow. The recOv-
cry of trade in America does not now
depend upon accident Or artificial
causes, but is being produced by fixed
laws-for there are such things in con-
the physical world, although they are
not by any means what the political
economists suppose them to be.
