afternoon at the Waterfowl Junction. House.
and received the testimony Of Miss Emily

which the committee will return here and
cross examine Miss Eberlee. 1t transpires
that the testimony of Miss E. does not reflect
in the least upon the defendants in the
scandal case, and gives little aid or comfort
to the prosecution

pay Back That $3.50.

The Clerk exhibit of the city finances,
published last week, shows that the city
General Fund is not only without cent to
its credit with the Treasurer, but is in debt
So, 1871.
By the same report we see that the cd,
5th 9th aud 18th Wards all have balances
time for them to refund that little item of
$3.50 they took from the General Fund a
while ago? The Treasurer has use for the
moneyaand of right it belongs to the Gen.
eral Fund. Let 1t be put back then by all
means. 1t does not looi. well for these
Wards to withhold it under the crcumstan-
ces- particularly as the General Fund is
completely exhausted. ii. .In... n.,..# !,
2 But if they object to this, we suggest that
they ought at least to divide with the LIST
Ward which is in debt $ls6.54, and has not
a cent in the treasury to pay it with. or
the $3.50 donated as above to the Wards
named, the LIST Ward contributed at least
500. How does it look for the Sd, 5th, 9th
and It'll Wards to be receiving aims from.a
Ward whose financial condition is worse
than theirs? And don't they feel sheepish to
see the LIST Ward as poor as church mouse,
without dollar in the treasury, and they
with handsome balances to their credit for
which they are largely indebted to the LIST
ward? No one can fail to see the gross in
Justice that has been done the LIST I'd and
4th wards, in this transaction. f.,,,

Attempted Highway Robbery.

Mr. James McGeean, proprietor of the
Meat Market on the west side, was return
ing home Thursday. evening, from north
of the city, and when near. the old Schurz
place. in the 9Th ward, he noticed two men
ahead of him, one on each side Of the road,
moving along suspiciously As Mr. Nc
Ocean got opposite them, both men rushed
towards his wagon, ordering him to halt,
but instead of obeying the command he
whipped up his horses and made good his
escape. The evident purpose of the men
was highway robbery, and Mr. McGeean
considers that he had a lucky escape.

AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than quarter of a century, and have
obtained worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several. assimilative organs of the
body, and are SO composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand Or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
tul effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. By
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not infamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates. containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills MAJ
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

The continued rains of the present season
have caused an overflow of many of the low
lands above the Milford dam which have
heretofore been comparatively dry. The
owners of these lands have become uneasy
under the belief that there is no hope for
the overflow to cease except through the
taking down of the dam Of n S. Greene l.
Son. Accordingly meetings have been
held by the aggrieved parties to devise
means TO redress the wrongs claimed
A delegation visited Madison to interview
the Governor on the subject, aud they were
informed they should seek redress only in
the courts. Loud threatenngs have beer
made and at one time it looked as if law.
les pr proceedings were to be iuaugurated in
order to attain the end the Injured had in
view. Happily for the good name OF our,
county no criminal acts have been perpe-
trated aud the sober second thought
seems 10 prevail. The wrong if any
exists, can be more certainly and
satisfactorily righted by the courts than
through any resort to unlawful means.
Let all appeal TO the arbitration of the law
and peacefully abide by the decision.

as much in the way of preventing growth

the interest on the gross amount Of the debt,
so that when they do pay, they will have

poets some day to realize the full face Of all
the bonds he holds against the city includ-
ing ten per cent interest. This indicates
extreme modesty on the part of Mr. Mariner
and places him high in the roll of compro-
misers. If all our. bondboders unite and
determine to settle only, OH the NJ ariner
