We are not surprised to learn

Not long ago there was an old
man in Louisville who died several
wears on the western shore OF

cessfnl business man, and had
bright aud happy family Of child
rem. A short time before his death
he became involved in some unfor-
lunaie business ventures and lost
nearly all his property. After he
died It was naturally supposed he
had left his family pcnniless. What

when they found be had left q will

From the N. Y. Herald.

Governor Robinson had On un-
pleasant dilemma presented to him
with the Apportionmeut bill. lIc
might have refused 10 sign It upon
the ground that II was scanda-
lously unjust measure, and thereby
given the Republicans tho oppor-
tnnity to charge upon him their
failure to comply with tho require
ments OF tho constitution. no
might allow II to become a law in
spite ofits Injustice, for tho reason
that II Is closer approach TO a
real representation Of tho people Of
the State than Is afforded by tho
present arrangement. lie chose
the latter and tho less Of these two
evils. The memorandum which
he filed with tho bill Is a clear
statement Of the iniquitics Of the
bill, which ought not TO bc forgot
ten before tho time, nearly half Of
which has now elapsed, at which
the next census Of The State Is to
be taken. The Constitutional
Cohvention, familiar as its mem.
bers were in the ways Of politi-
clans. did not consider II possible
that the Legislature would pre-
sumo to be guilty either Of The
neglect or the malfeasanco with
which Republican legislatures have
answered their demand. II they
! had fcresecn such thing the,
would probably have guarded
against 1t, asit was quito practi
cal to do, by making the constitu
tiopal provision self-exccuting
requiring the Court of Appeals
for instance, to employ an accoun
tant for the reappointmcnt Of thu
State and 10 verify and declare hi
results. This is not now possible
without u fresh change IN tho con
stitution. Governor R0bis0i
gives one or two instances In whicl
towns have been taken out Of thei

strangest shapes. In word, thu
frat ''gerrymandcr" which lla'
ever disgraccd the State Of New
York is the work Of the Republi
can Legislature Of 1879. It SHOULD
not be forgotten that Mr.. Hepburn
OF St. Lawrence, had tho lardi
hood to ayow that he supported
the bill because It was "a ran1

The Juvenile Opera Company which is to
appear here next Wednesday is thus spoken
of by the Salem Observer: ''Messrs Bennett
4 Moulton's Pinafore Company gave two en-
tertainments at Mechanic Hall, on Thursday
and Friday evenings, to audiences which were
enthusiastic in their praise Of the perform
ances. As to the company of children who
take the several parts in this amusing opera
of Pinafore, their performances are very
spirited, and the characters are sustained
with remarkable success. The singing by
Miss Leibsch, as Josephine, is very effective,
pleasing and accurate. while Miss Upton, as
Little Buttercup, not only sings well but acts
naturally and presents pretty picture. Mas
ter Smith, as Dick Deadeye, was very enter
tanning and in one part was twice encored.
The whole entertainment was one of unusual
interest"

In regard to the vote on the State ticket
the Herald this morning says; Another day
has passed, the third since election, without
settling the fate of any officer on the general
State ticket except governor. The utmost
that can be said is, that the voting runs UNI
usually close in the case of every one of
them, and that probabilities still favor the
success of most of the democratic candidates.

The Old Man Released.

Andrew Buzzel, the old man of 70 years,
who was imprisoned for several weeks by At
torney General Mcclellan, on a ten dollar ex-
ecution, was released last Saturday. The
creditor, however, held the old man to the
last and took the last penny that he claimed,
in the shape of a note, payable in one year.
On this another execution can be issued,
when the old man. if alive, may be squeezed
again, The Brooks neighbors of Mr. Buzzell
made up a subscription in sums ranging from
one dollar to twenty-five cents, and paid the
costs, amounting to Sl2.97. OF this Sheriff
Baker gave five dollars. And so the old man
was allowed to go to his home, to remain until
the remaining sum of 1927, note and cost,
shall be paid, or until the Attorney General
shall see fit to arrest him again.
The case, which has been extensively no.

ten dollars to effect the old mans release
and on being informed that he was at liberty,

Our readers will remember the shooting
match that took place on Friday Of last week,
in which the winning side made a score OF
1890, to their opponents 6s5. They were
consequently highly pleased with their sue
cess, and accordingly challenged the losing
team to another contest, which took place
yesterday, in which fourteen sportsmen par
ticipated-seven in each team. Although
the weather was very unfavorable, both teams
brought in very handsome lot Of game
but the victors of last week suffered defeat
yesterday by score of $500 to 1926. Among
other game brought in were 20 partridges,
IL ducks, minks and coon. The winning
team will be furnished with an oyster supper
which will be served at W. +. Potter's eat
