Not Found Yet.
A few days ago We noted the fact that
an ex-police officer had lost set Of
teeth set in agutta .percha plate and
which he thought he must have swal-
lowed in his sleep. He is now however
thoroughly convinced that he was mis-.
taken as to the swallowing theory, and
thinks that he might have dropped
them somewhere else, and that they
might have been picked up and laid
away awaiting an owner. He needs his
teeth badly and he would thank the
finder if he would leave them at 2A|
Klrkwood street or at this office.

Friends Lyceum PronOuncing Bee

Friends Lyceum PronOuncing Bee
A large meeting o. the Friends so
cial lyceum was held last evening on
West street above Fourth. The novelty
Of a pronouncihg bee which had beer
announced, induced many persons to b.
present not members of the lyceum
After the transaction Of some prelimi
nary business belonging especially Il
the lyceum, the chair was vacated by
the President and the balance of tn,
evening was left to number of the
members who were anxious to engag,
in a proncuncing bee. Henry Ferris
the acting pedagogue of the occasion
selected Joseph Richardson, and Emily
Worrell to divide into competing side,
those who were willing to take part in
the bee. The two thus selected to di
vide and choose alternately until thu
number reached twelve on each side
which about exhausted all who wished
to take part. Professor Stansbury
Wiley of the Boys High school, anc
George Thompson principal of tht
Friends school, acted as umpires, the
first armed with Webster's and The
latter with Worcester's dictionary
both or either Of which Sere to be tax
en- as good authority for pronunciations
As already stated Henry Ferris acted as
pedagogue, spelling each word distinct
ly, and naming the person who was t.
pronounce it. This exercise continued
about an hour and quarter, some on,
side and sometimes the other leading
but at the summing up Of the words
missed by each side, it was found tha
Emily Worrell's side had made 20 mis-
pronunciations and Joseph Richardson
had made Is. The bee was certainly ;
very home-like affair, many Of the la
dies being engaged in crotchet work
and others piled the knitting needles
with marvellous rapiditv.

We have but few paupers in our poor

Our taxes are 80 per cent. lower than
they are in adjoining counties, where
saloons are licensed. Our people are
prosperous, peaceable and sober, there
being very little drinking, except near
GRANVILLE, licensed town of White
county, near our border. The different
terms of our circuit court occupy three

for California.

The San Francisco Alta, sayr:-The
proposition Of Delegate y vampbell to iu-
corporate fioggipg as one of the punish
ments proper under the law, will conf
mend itself to those who watched the
growth of crime as one of the most effect
ual correctiveness that can be devised
for certain offenses. For instance, the
common practice of garroting; two reck-
less fellows resolve to "stick up" citi-
zen returning to his home late at night,
and they proceed to carry their plan into
execution by suddenly pouncing upon
the inspecting person, compelling him to
deliver up his valuables under threats of
taking his life: or they overcome him,
and by blow in the stomach and COM
preston of the throat render him power
less for time-long enough to permit
the rIfii ng of his clothes. If the garroters
succee they are tolerably safe from
detection, and If they fail and are cap
tured there is very little terror III the
prospect of punishment,so little that they
frequently think 1t not worth while TO
make any effort to prevent conviction.
If entenced to State Prison the con-
vict, are apparently asked what kind of
idleness will be most agreeable, and that
soft billet which suits the aesthetic tastes
of a agentlemanly garrotor will be assigned
him. Instances have been gwen within
few days of forgers officiating as book
keepers and general managers and en-
b, zzlers acting as chaperous for visitors
not even the badge of the prison garb to
Inform the visitor that the "gentlemanly"
conductor had taken his employers
money or had deprived the city OF Its
revenue by appropriating it to private
use through the agency of forged docu-
ments. If, instead Of consigning the gar
roter, the forger, and the mean embez-
zler to the comforts of the State Prison
and the luxury of good clothes and easy
work, they conld be sent to the public
whipping pest to receive thirty or forty
lashes, the number of criminals would
speedily decrease, and citizens would feel
indefinitely safer, both on the street and
in their counting-room.
The degradation of tt e fiogglng would
be tenfold greater punishment than
close confinement or hard labor In the
prisons, which many of the prisoners
very curiously avoid. Some tender
hearted people say the punishment is
cruel, but they should remember that
there is nothing very csnsoliDg or sooth-
ing about the actions of the garJoters,
and if reckless men will jump upon an
unsuspecting citizen and choke him into
Inseusibility, with the aid of terrib BILE
blow in The stomach, they should expe-
rience little taste of cruelty, if nothing
else will work reformation.

WHAT SILVER is DoING.-The Phila-

Great Western line of steamers between
Bristol and New York had been discon-
tinued, was yesterday contradicted by the
London Times. If our exports continue
10 increase there will be freight enough
for all the lines, one way at least, and
there is no reason why emigration to this

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-The total

since their remonetization up to and in
Guiding the 23d instant is $19,Sl4, $50.
OF this number about ten and half
millions are in the United States Treas

over $5,000,0O0l are in general clrcula-

the 18th Of March. The total, IL will be
observed, is in excess of the minimum
requirement Of the law, which provides
that no less than $2,000,000 nor more
than $4.000,000 of the standard silver
dollars should be coined monthly.
