AN American correspondent writing
from Syria gives some interesting partic-
ulars of the wonderful progress Of that
country in civilization during the last
fifty years. 1t has been just that long
since Pliny Fisk, the first American Mis-
sionary, entered the country, and sight
of a monument erected to his memory in
Beyroot, the Capital City, reminds the
correspondent of the changes that have
been wrought. When Fisk went to Bey-
root there was not printing press in the
city. Now there are twelve, with nine
newspapers Not school building glad
dened that good mans eyes. Now there
are four colleges, five female seminaries,
ninety-three schools of all descriptions,
with two hundred and ninety-five teach
ers and near ten thousand scholars. The
Missionary's footstep did not fall
on square yard of macadamized
road; but now such roads are found in
the principal streets of the city, and a
postchaise rattles over them on its way
to Damascus. Not house with glazed
windows greeted the new conner from the
Western World. Now the houses are
built of stone, and not few are beauti
full specimens of Oriental architecture
with glazed windows and all moderr
conveniences. Not set of European
furniture reminded the exile of the coun
try he had left. Now native Arab work
men make every form and variety o
household comforts and conveniences
tables, chairs, sofas, etc, which are founC
in almost every house.

upon the soil of his home.
But he did not stop. The same ship
with the same officers, was going upon the
same cruise again, and he meant to go in
her. He saw Grace Melburne, and she
would wait He saw DR.. Weston, and
the kind old gentleman praised him for
his manly independence.
Again Arthur Morton was upon the sea,
and again he assumed the duties of his
office, and even more. He even stood
watch when there was no need of it, and
during seasons of storm he claimed post
on deck.
At the end of another year the young
man returned to his home again. He was
now eight and twenty, and few who knew
him two years before could recognize him
now. His face was bronzed by exposure,
his form was filed out to perfection, and
he was greeted with great effusion by old
DIR. Weston, who would insist on his stay
ing with him during his leave on shore.
One day after Arthur's arrival he suddenly
burst into the room and said abruptly:
"Well, Arthur, Mr. Crosby is here. VIII
you see him ?"
"See him :? See Matthew Crosby? O1
course will. He owes me an explanation
and hope he can give me satisfactory
one."
The door was opened and Mr.. Crosby en-
tered.
He was an elderly man, but hale ant
hearty.
The old man and the young one shool
hands, and then enquired after each other
health.
"You received q note from me some tw
years ago." said Crosby, Sin which I state
that one in whom trusted had got you
money and mine with It, and l could nc
pay you"
"Yes, SIR" answered our hero, not know
ing what was to come next.

STOCK ITEMS.

From the Tittsburg Price Gu rrent, FEB. 18th. :
The through run of hogs this week is
the heaviest of the winter, being Is, ,0l6
head.
DroYers made money on cattle this
week, and this will doubtless result in
some of them paying too much for their
next shipments, and then losing money.
Drovers can do a great deal of good for
both themselves and the agricultural
population by urging and encouraging
farmers to improve their grades of stock.
We are glad to report that stock trains
from this point are making better time,
and nearly all stock shipped from here
arrived in New York in time for market.
A few Western shippers to Baltimore
and Philadelphia are now bringing their
stock here, saying that they can do bet
with small lots here than farther East.
There is some complaint by shippers
that it is hard to get cars on the Pitts
burgh, Fort Wayne & Chicago Railroad.
All en- account of the immense business
they are doing.
/ We have but few through cattle this
week on our road, and if the other line
does no better we think they will need
meat In New Y ork as badly next Monday 7
as they did last. ss af II

IT has for months been currently re-
ported that the Sheriff of our. county has,
in number of eases, charged and coll
.lected fees for his official services in ex-
cess of what the law authorizes. We have
been shown a list of twenty. cases. in
which. the Sheriff is said to have charged
the parties and collected a greater amount.
of fees than the law authorizes him to
take. 1T these statements are correct, it
certainly is time that the people knew it,
and that the penalties for an offense of
this kind were, inflicted for the crime.
Certainly, there should be an investiga-
ton made into these charges by a eompe-
tent committee of men. If there is really
40 foundation for these rumors, the Sher-
iff should be relieved from the scensure; !;
but. if they are trues the people have
rights that should be vindieated.. Itoer-
l.tainly is due tolthe people of the county
that this matter should be thoroughly and
fairly investigated and ventilated. The
18th section of the criminal code, vol. "a,
page 261, reads as follows: a- fs- .! il.
SECTION II. Any officer under the Con-
i stitution and laws of this State, who
knowingly asks, demands or receives any
fees or reward other than is allowed by
law to execute or do his official duty or
hengages7 or suffers others in his employ
to engage in any business which by reason
of his. office, he is prohibited from doing,
shall be fined not more than $500, and i'm.
4 l'prisOnment not.moFe than twenty days
or both. An officer convicted under this
section forfeits his Office and. the same
shan be declared by the Court to be va
cant, and such convict shall for seven
years thereafter be. incapable of holding
