A Courageous Girl.

In Syracuse, n. Y, on last Wednes-
day night, after midnight, a Miss Beach
was awakened by noise in her room,
and soon became aware that some
body was crawling toward her bed.-
She at once made increment to get
up, but before her feet reached the floor
she was caught by the ankle and thrown
down by the intruder, a man who had
undoubtedly come in search of plunder.
Her outcries aroused younger sister,
who jumped up and escaped from the
room, screaming at the top of her voice
for help. Meanwhile the elder sister
was struggling with her assailant in the
room. Her efforts We're in the direction
of a pistol which she had under her pill
low, but which fell on the floor out of
her grasp before she had time to make
use of it. Then a struggle ensued for
its possession the courageous girl finally
succeeding in clutching it. BY a sudden
plunge the would-be thief freed himself
and made precipitate exit, bullet
whizzing in his wake, and penetrating
the door, which he pulled after him.
He succeeded in making his escape be-
fore the neighbors had been aroused by
the younger sister.

Too Much Love.

BIDDEFORD, Me-, April 9.-Early this
morning fisherman rowing down the
river discovered the body of woman
near the shore, with no clothing save a
chemise, and with rope around one
ankle. The body was taken in charge
by the authorities, and conveyed to the
City Hall. The greatest excitement pre-
vailed all day in the city, and late in the
afternoon sister of Frederick Savage
identified the woman as Rose Vincent,
of Methuen, Mass, and gave clue
which, upon being followed up, led to
the arrest of Savage. This evening he
confessed the crime. Heis Frenchman,
is married and has children. When
asked why he did ii he said, Oh, ]
loved her too much -

Heavy EmhezzIement.

FALL RIVER, Mass, April los. Ang-
Ter Chace, treasurer of the Union mills,
has confessed to the embezzlement of
$4SO,000 and it is probable that the mills
will be put into insolvency. The defal-
cation has been going on for number
of years, but recently paper of the Union
mills has been scattered very freely, al
though regarded good by the banks.
The corporation is an old one and as it
has been erecting new mill lately, the
surplus of paper afloat did not attract
attention. Yesterday some of the paper
went TO protest in Boston, New York
and other places, and it is believed large
amounts were held in New York, Prov
idence, New Bedford and at several Bos-
ton banks; besides, banks in Lowell,
Taunton and other places have a share
Much of the paper has strong endorse
ments, and it is believed that between
the assets of the mills and of the direc-
Tors all claims will be met.

The Cold Snap and the Peach Crop.

The Smyrna (DeD., Tines says:
The ripple among the peach-growers,
caused by that northern blast, has some
what subsided, but the general opinion
is that the best paying varieties, Craw-
ford, early and late, Moore, Reeves
favorite, Stump-the-world and others,
that are called middle varieties, are
seriously injured or nearly Destroyed
The early, such as Beatrice, Hale, ,Troth,
York and mountain rose and the late,
such as Susquehanna, Crocket's white,
Smock and Salway, are not so badly in
jured, and, should no further disaster
overtake them, will produce fair
crop.

The Gettysburg Claims.

WASHINGTON, April s. - Assistant
Secretary French to-day made report
to Secretary Sherman, stating that what
is known as the Gettysburg claims
should be promptly rejected by the ac-
counting officers if again presented
Mr.. Sherman, in approving the report,
says, cit would be impossible for any
government to make good such losses
during war, and especially civil war, as
are here claimed. Certainly there is no
authority of law in the Treasury De-
partment to pay such claims, and 1
would not ask Congress to authorize it,
though entirely within the power of
that body.''

Trying to Drive Horse One Hundred
Miles In Ten Hours.

Recently in Brooklyn some sporting
men attempted TO drive horse one
miles within ten hours. The agreement
was that the horse should have three
trials, and If 1t failed the owner was to
pay five hundred dollars. The persons
who made the wager are said to be two
wealthy young horsemen of Brooklyn.
At o'clock on Friday morning, accord
ing to the account, the horse was har-
messed to q sulky on the Prospect Park
race-track, and five minutes later the
driver started the animal. For 60 miles
the horse kept well ahead of time, but
then began to tire and grow distressed.
The driver piled the whip, the owner
insisting that the pace should be kept
up. The horses legs soon began to
swell, and frequent sponging did it but
little good. The horse was whipped up
until the SEVENTEEN mile was completed
and then it was so exhausted that it was
seen to be impossible to finish the thirty
miles. Still the animal was urged five
miles further, when it dropped to the
ground exhausted. 1t is said that when
the horse is sufficiently recovered it will
be trained up for another trial.

Canadian Manners.

The British Government occasionally
criticises American legislation. The
following is q sample of Parliamentary
proceedings at Ottawa, last week:
Mr.. Bunster, M. p, from British
Columbia, addressed the House. His
remarks displeased NJ. Cheval NJ. p,
from the Maritime provinces, who, in
order to soothe his rufiled spirit, began
playing upon jews '-harp. Thereupon
Bunster, M. p, used naughty words,
alleging that he could punch the nose of
Cheval, M. p, in the halls of legislation
or elsewhere. BY some legislation not
exactly stated the disputants adjourned,
to a corridor of the Parliament building,
where, according to the very imperfect
report of the press-partly parliamentary
and partly fistic in its nature-Bunster's
gestures fell upon Cheval's head, while
Cheval anticipated and prevented tom
sorial labor on Bunster's behalf, and
neatly carried out the scalping process
of the aborigines of lower Canada The
record is silent, as epic often is, concern
liS buO hlui vi bhlS
discussion. 1t suggests something about
a pavement covered with blood and
hair; an atmosphere sulphurous with
adjectives; a Parliament unceremonious-
ly adjourned and profoundly interested !;
and probably employment for oculists,
tailors, wig-makers and lawyers. And
this is from the assembled wisdom of a
Dominion which finds nothing so de-
lightful as hypercriticism about the
demoralizing effect of Republcanism
and the errors of the United States. In
the event that British valor is hurled
against Russia, the world may look for
great things when Bunster, M. p,
charges at odds of ten to one against the
tallow. eating Serfs, and is hardly able
to holdthe advance from the prancing
Cheval. Joaquin Miller or Bret Harte
might sing, but only Landseer could
paint such an episode as has occurred.
What art can anticipate its sequences ?

An Inquiry.

Permit me through the columns of your pa
par to make a few inquiries for the benefit of
the Taxpayers of the borough of Bloomfield,
as follows:
1st. Had we any Corporate Borough Of
lcers for the year 1877 ?
2nd. If we had, did they take subscribe and
file (among the Records of the Corporation) Ian
oath to perform the duties of their office with
fidelity as the law requires
Bird. Did the appoint Sanitary Committee
to look a fter the health of the inhabitants, as
they are bound to do, in order to prevent sick
ness resulting from foul cellars, and other
nuisances, &c.
4th. Did they published an itemized State
ment of the expenditure of the peoples mon
ey COLLECTED as taxes) SO that we may know
how they have expended the enormous sum re-
ported to have been spent within the last year,
whether 1t has been expended In the Interest of
private individuals without regard to the pub
lie good such as making private walks and
building bridges, TO be kept up where there Is no
running water, and where they are not needed,
or have they make appropriations to pay them
selves for their valuable services in the per-
formance or non-performance of their duties
&c.2
If not--Then for whyl shall we (the
taxpayers) not know how our money has been
expended and not be put with one line, as
follows:
BY Checks paid S422.47.
When we have the right to know how every
dollar has been expended and to whom and

Mn. EDITOR THE contest between direct
ors and candidates for the office of Superin-
tendent Is not to be viewed politically nor Is It
to be biased by any sectarlan dogma, or church
influence. The school law points out the man
and the superintendent serves the county with
out regard to party or denomination, since u is
the peoples schools he has under supervision,
and his efforts should be exerted for their ad-
vancement. Should each district strive TO be
served In turn by one of Its citizens, thirty times
three years would answer for once around and
the great t.grand-chld of the present school boy
would hear of Its return only by tradition.
The office belongs to the teachers and a
teacher should be selected TO flll It. Can one
be found who has for years devoted himself TO
one purpose with success he Is the person who
should be advanced when occasion presents
itself.
The labor to be performed is great and re-
quires health and strength of body as well as
mental discipline and although we do not ad-
vocate making the Office an inflrmary we
contend that while we have those honorably
disabled who are worthy and efficient, they
should be selected, thus enabling them to do
well for others and to benefit themselves.
We don't want to overrate nor underrate
either of the gentlemen who are applicants for
the position but some are well established In
their callings or professions and are not really
dependent upon them alone for support like one
who is manned for life.
The maxim zone poor general Is better than
two good ones" will illustrate our idea that
close attention to one work Is more useful
than loose supervision over many.
Ambition is praseworthy when used prop
erly in any profession and no man however
emulous is fit for the Office of Superintendent
whose intent Is to make 1t preparatory for an
auxiliary to some other calling or practice.
The idea of the law is that the Superntend-
ency shall be the work of one and suggests
that those who will be otherwise engaged
should not receive the support of directors.

AS YET it is not decided whether
peace or war is to be the fate of Europe.
Russia seems to have hauled in her
horns little, and if England does not
find some other flaw to pick at there is
fair prospect for diplomatic settle
ment of the trouble. Germany is APP
parently favorable to such course,
while Austria seems to favor the Eng
ligh view of the case. At any rate some
positive decision must soon be arrived
at, as it impossible for the present aspect
of affairs to continue long.
