exactly perpendicular and covered with
snow as far up as the freezing point on
the scale. Let it stand SO for half an
hour or more. and then read it, taking
great care to place the eye at the same
height as the summit of the mercurial
column. If the top of the column COIN
cides with the freezing point of the
scale, the instrument is correct; If not,

Rover received letter from Truckee
friend yesterday in which the ipfe-ra-
ton is given that McWorthy Wa run
out of town called Alpha. a few years
ago, by vigilance committee, of which
Sharp, the murdered man, was chief.
Rover thinks it link in his favor.
Rover has not yet been made acqnaint-
ed with the decision of the Supreme
Court, and while anxiously expecting
it, believes that when it does come, it
will be in his favor" A similar letter
was received by Rover from Truckee
over two years ago. bat No attempt was
made to introduce il in evidence at the
trial. fact which convinced those who
saw the letter that there was no foun-
dation for the assertion. 1t was proved
in Court here that McWoIthy and
Sharp had been acquainted over
twenty years.

HSITTING AROUND"


They are sitting around upon barrels
and chairs,
Discussing their own and their neigh
bors' affairs,
And the look Of content that is seen
on each face
Seems to say. "a have found my ap'
propriate place."
Sitting around.
In bar rooms and groceries calmly
they sit
And serenely chew borrowed to-
bacco, and spit,
While the stories they tell, and the
jokes that they crack,
Show their hearts have grown cold
and undoubtedly black,
While sitting around.
The "sitter around" is man Of no
means,
And his face wouldn'tpasS for a quart
Of white beans,
Yet he somehow or other contrlveS

And is frequently seen with a drink

doings of the Town Council of William.
ston. We do not wish, by any IN cans, to
enter into controversy with this noted
correspondent, but only wish to call the
attention of the citizens to q few sad mis-
takes which he has. unthoughtedly we sup
pose. made in his lengthy missive. The
gentleman hos explained and expounded
the charter of Williamson in q very dcci-
dec manner. He says: "The charter says
explicitly thst an ad palorun, tax shall be
levied on all property" It doesn't say any
such thing. 1t says: "a tax of 80 cents on
the 100 dollars worth, or less, may be levied
on real estate, at the discretion OF the
Council, provided it is assessed properly
al ana .ne n.o, Council shall also have power to
tax merchandise. carriages. dogs" &c. In
the next place he says: "The Council have
exempted themselves from taxation" This
is o worse mistake, if possible, than the
other. I being Clerk Of the Council N.Y.
self at the time of the assessment, and also
.f the collcct!on cf taxes, positively say
that those of the Council who owned real
c>fate were among the first to come forward
ana pay their taxsl There are many other
mistakes Il will call them) which could
mention, if necessary, but will leave them
for another time. And now a little advice
to Mr.. or Miss .'B. Ware" or whoever that
parsonage may be:
Dear friend. the next time yop undertake
20 go for Town Council, be sure and
read the charter carefully, and get permis-
sion and raise the lid of the Golfers, and be
sure who has and who has not paid their
town tax. Respectfully,

/ One of the most pleasant portions of
Wednesday's proceedings was the visit of
the Greenville Guards end the Butler Guards
from Greenyille. The gentlemen Of .theae
companies came over to contribute to our
meeting and pay their respects to the Gov
ernor, without any expectation of even re.
oeiving entertainment here during their
stay. Their courteous conduct and gentle
manly course has made our citizens enter
tain the highest respect and most kindly
feelings towards them. We regret that the
circumstances connected with the success
sion OF the political meeting upon the re-
view prevented our people from showing
their appreciation of the conduct of the
Greengille Companies. The memory of the
friendly bearing Of these companies will al
ways be cherished by the military of An

from these companies on come occasion
