Floods-Organ Gr1nders-Run-
Away.

NASHVILLE, July 10, 1878.
EDITOR HERALD Since my last
sad change has taken place in the
physiognomy OF our farmers, and the
pleasant smile produced by the late
prospect of an abundant harvest has
given way again to look of despair
with many. Last Thursday and
Friday nights showers did the work
of laying flat most OF the small grain,
and blight caused by the excessive
heat will do this year what chinch
bugs failed to accomplish. Corn is
badly washed, fences and many
bridges are washed away, and ruin
and destruction you meet everywhere.
Cassville lost three bridges by the
last flood, viz !, the Burgess bridge,
the bridge across the furnace branch,
and another on Amelia street in
Cassyille. The foundation of the
latter floated off mainly, and the
bridge had to be taken down. The
latter bridge is the all. absorbing
topic.
Our town has established, or is es-
tablishing. according to the version
of some, floating fund for specific
purposes, the same as other commune
tiles establish sinking funds for spe,
cific purposes, and on this bridge we
have in rainy weather no lack of
chances to expend the town money,
to float off again with the next fresh
ct. The old adage, GA stitch in
time saves nlne," is very applicacable
in this case. Our town authorities
were prone to do anything to save it,
preferring to have private individuals
bear the brunt of the battle, end in
trying to preserve their own property
also save the bridge. They ayerred
that they could not lawfully do any
thing until the wash had reached
Amelia St, which by the way is a
public highway. The wash had al
ready reached the sand to within a
few rods below the bridge, and the
storm of last Thursday and Friday
had the desired effect The founda-
ton was undermined and the floating
fund is gone again. Presently we
are down to the sand-largely quick
sand-and it will now take walls
about twenty feet high, and cost, to
establish it firmly at least $1,000 to
1900, where 500 judiciously expcn-
ded in building four or FIVE willow
dams below the bridge to check the
current would have saved at least for
a good many years but then some
will make money, and Caesar will
have his taxes out Of the people.
Some Of our young gentlemen are
seriously talking of forsaking their
anvil or jack plane and taking to the
hand organ and monkey. Our advice
to the boys is, Don't you do it, boys.
Do not forsake respectable trade
for doubtful one. Organ grinders
do not generally get banqueted by
the elite outside Of Cassvillc. Go
away from homo in either di-
rection and you will find organ grin.

bonds.

good boating stage, but boats are

One of our young gents out riding
Sunday or two ago, had his horses
run away. After a short run the
horses became detached from the We.
hicle and pulled Johnny out, dragged
him some distance, and bruised his
face some. No other damage done.

Normal School Business.

W. II. Chandler, secretary of the
State Board of Normal Regents, has
published letter in reply to publ.
cation rejecting upon the Board. He
says that the Board has a complete
record of all its transactions financial
and other acts, from the organization
of the first school until now. Con-
corning the Platteville school he
says:
Your correspondent asks: What
is this mysterious old matter as to
the erection of the first addition at
Platteville just how much was
never accounted for in that rumored
defalcation ?" This question gives
good occasion to explain publicly
matter about which there has been
no little mlsconception. Mr.. III. Rob-
bins took the contract for remodeling
and adding to the old Platteville
academy to fit it for a normal school.
By this contract he lost, as claimed,a
considerable amount of money-at all
events, he became pecuniarily embar-
raised. As local regent he collect
ed the tuition paid by students in the
model department of the school at
Platteville. When his term Of office
expired, it appeared that there was
in his hands balance of 81, 32S.75 so
collected. Mr.. Robbins was unable
at that time to pay over the money
to the State Treasurer. When it
GENE to the knowledge of the Board
that he had failed to pay over the
amount due, the President was in
structed to make full statement of
the case to TIL Drney General, the
law officer of theVs le, and turn over
the whole matter, together with the
securities, to him, for collection, and
such proceeding az he might deem
proper. This was done, and there
the whole matter has remained. Mr..
Robbins, as fast as he was able has
liquidated the matter-at each of two
different times paying $500, and the
Attorney General has informed the
Board at its present meeting, that the
whole has now been provided for, and
he can pay the balance due into the
Treasury, as soon as he can make the
legal papers necessary for the rendi-
ton and conversion of the securities.
Other matters are explained as fol-
lows:
As for the insinuations concerning
/" swamp land transactions" it is well
known, or should be, to every citizen
that all the swamp lands and funds
arising therefrom which constitute
the Normal School fund.-" are, by
the constitution and laws of the state,
under the absolute control and man
agement of the Secretary Of State,
State Treasurer and Attorney Gener-
al, as school land commissioners, and
that the Board of Regents has no
