The Gold Supply.

The Assistant Treasurer at New York
writes the Treasury department: "There
has been no change in the movement of
gold 1t still continues to accumulate
In our vaults, while the amount of GER
tifcates outstanding remains nearly
stationary. There is really no demand
for gold, and, as it. is less convenient
than notes to handle, not only the an
nual production, but the imports, which
are likely to be very large this fall, will
naturally take the same direction. The
accumulation in the stock of coin in the
Treasury, in view of the fact that the
customs duties are now paid in United
States notes and silver certificates, is
conclusive evidence of the general belief
in the quality of these notes, and in the
permanency of resumption. 1t will
soon be necessary to use portion of the
silver vault for the storage of gold"

ofioiaIPaper ofthe County and Village
That Jail Breaking Case.

The jury in the case of the people as.
Newell Bradley, charged with aiding
prisoner to escape from Jail, brought in
verdict of guilty. OF this verdict we
have not a word to say against it. We
believe that under the evidence and the
law as given by the judge, that it was
the correct verdict. There are some
things, however, connected with this
case which we fail to understand. 1t
is well known that the charge against
Bradley was founded On the breaking
of the lock at the county Jail, and the
liberation of Moore who was confined
therein, for a misdemeanOr. Bradley
concealed the said Moore, fed and kept
kept him out of the way Of the officers
for about week, and enabled him to
get out of the county. Moore was after
ward arrested at Cadillac, and brought
back and served his time out in the jail
No effort was made at the time to
bring him to trial for breaking
jail dIiu SIuCc uo HdS tNtl
been only too willing witness to con-
yict the man who at his peril befriended
him, and yet no attempt has been made
to bring him to trial. Thursday, after
the verdict of the jury in the Bradley
case, complaint was made to Justice
and warrant for the arrest of Moore
asked for. The Justice informed the
complainant that the Prosecuting AttOr-
ney would have to draw up the papers.
The Prosecuting Attorney was visited
but had not time to attend to it just then,
but would do so in the evening. In the
evening, after two visits to his residence,
he was found, and went to his Office and
commenced drawing up the nesessary
papers, but before they were completed
said he could not get them out until
morning. Yesterday morning they were
got out and application made to the
Justice, but he was too busy at court to
attend to it, and in the mean
time Mr.. Moore left. To say the least,
the action of the Prosecuting Attorney
and Justice looks as if they were en-
deavoring to give Moore an opportunity
to escape. If Bradley is guilty Moore
is also guilty and should have been
brought to trial and made to suffer the
penalty of his guilt the same as his two
partners, Cumming and Bradley, who
have both been convicted.

The Maine Election.

The state election of Maine was held
last Monday. State officers and Repre-
sentatives in the Legislature were voted
for. The result was the success of the
Republican ticket. 1t will take, how
ever, the official count to decide whether
or not there was an election by the peo-
pie, the laws of that state requiring the
candidate to receive majority of the
votes cast. The Republicans claim that
Daniel F. Davis, their candidate for Gov
ernOr has a majority. The OpposiOn
claim not. He has large plurality over
either of the other candidates. 1t is
conceded that the Republicans have a
majority of the Legislature, and this
virtually settles the matter in favor of
Dnvis, the Republican candidate.

How TO Improve a Town.
From the Lowell Journal.


Go there to make money.
Make it and keep it.
Don't lay out cent for public inn
prOvements.
Discourage every new enterprise and
say it will fail every time.
Vote down all propositions to build
school houses and bridges and grade the
streets and all that. If you don't your
taxes will be Is cents higher than they
were last year.
If YOU own any real estate in town put
such figures ON it that it will turn
purchasers hair white the same day and
make him leave town the next.
Don't advertise in your home paper.
If you do, people will find out where you
are and come aud trade with you, and in
this way you might get bogus 50-cent
piece tucked off on you in the course of
seven or eight years:
Run down everything in town and go
to some other place to buy your supplies
and tell your neigbOrs how much cheap
er they sell goods in other towns than in
yours.
Give more to circuses and less for
library books and lectures.
When farmers Come to town have cat
tie in the streets to eat up what they
have in their wagons.
Let hogs, horses and cattle have free
run in the streets all the year round. 1t
looks so s0ciable like.
If you have any bad roads leading out
of town into the country don't fix them;
don't grade and gravel or improve them
in any shape. If you do the. farmers
will all drive in over these nice roads
and track them all up.
Live for yourself exclusively, and al
wavs make the half-cent come on your
side.
Finally
So live that when thy summons comes to join
The innumerable caravan, and so forth,
| Thou 60 not like a Locomotive headlight,
| But like sputtering tallow dip whose wick is
wet.
Then. wrapped in the drapery of thy selfshness,
Shout loud for pockets in thy shroud,
| And if they put none there, walk to the grave
and save the hearse fee.

The state Fair.
From the Detroit Evening News.

From the Detroit Evening News.
The fair grounds are now spectacle
of busy activity only paralleled by the
sudden shooting up of mining town in
Nevada or California. The whole space
enclosed by the high board fence, meas
uring in width 425 yards, and averaging
in length 700 yards, resOunds with
the noise of the hammer, the saw and
the plane, and the smaller buildings to
be used as booths grow into shape and
form before the spectators eyes. The
soil not covered by buildings was seeded
down this spring, and is now OvergrOwn
with fine sward of grass, and in the
space enclosed by half mile track a
number of unsightly stumps have been
burned out or taken away, and the
ground smOOthed over.
THE EXHIBITION BUILDINGS.
As before stated in the News the prin-
cipal buildings have been enlarged and
improved in a very useful and attractive
manner. The main building is now in
the form of a perfect cross. The main
structure, which faces on Cavalcade
avenue, has been extended back 100 feet,
and is now 400 feet in length. The south
wing has also been extended 100 feet,
and is now of the same length as the
north wing, thus making the building
complete and symmetrical.
The accommodations for displaying
carriages last year were comprised in
one building, 2OOx40 feet. This year
the carriages will have scope and verge
by the erection of an additional building,
150X40 feet.
The agricultural implement building,
which was also found too small, has been
heightened 80 feet, and is now 300 feet
long.
In the space inclOsed on the west and
north by the crucifOrm wings of the
main building, and fronting on Caval-
cade avenue are two new structures, one
named Agricultural hall, and the other
! the Northern counties exhibit building.

Badly Used.

From the Detroit Post and Tribune we
learn the following of the experience of
the schooner Starlight, with cargo of
coal for Macarthur, Smith g. Co. from
Cleveland, during the blow of last week:
''The Starlight left Cleveland at 2.3O o.
clock Wednesday afternoon, bound for
ChebOygan with cargo of coal. She
crossed the lake in surprisingly short
time, and when from Is to 20 miles east
of Point au Pelee cast anchor, the storm
raging so fearfully that further progress
was not advisable but dangerous. At
Z o'clock in the evening the wind veered
around to the westward causing the YES
sci to roll and labor heavily. Half an
hour later the strap of the jib halyards
block gave out. The sail was then haul
ed down and furled. A reef was also
taken in the main stay sail to better
steady the vessel. At $50 in the even
ing heavy squall struck her, which
carried away the foremast head at the
VI SOuACO WltH IU oil
above. This was shortly followed by the
mainmaSt, which broke off down close
to the partners. Rigging, spars, every
thing went overheard, except the canvas.
fOremast, foremost shrOuds, jibboOm and
bowsprit. In this condition anchorage
was found, where she held ON all of
Thursday and Thursday night and until
early Sunday morning, when the tug
Quayle went to her and brought her to
Detroit. To sum up, all the fore rigging
is gone, the jibboOm and bOwsprit sprung
the fOretopmast carried away, also the
mainmast, its shrOuds and rigging OF
every description. Fhe Starlight is own.
ed by Thomas 6 Hughes of Racine, was
built in 1856, at Saginaw, by Smith &
Kirby, is of 3O7 tons register, rates B 1
is valued on the insurance books at S.,

in 1875. Capt. John Roberts, fine nav
igatOr, sails her, and has for nine years
and this is his first mishap."
