AS we stated in our last issue a
party of men started out from Portland
on Wednesday morning in search OF
the body of Leander Sheeley, the
young man who was washed off IL raft
just below Raught's Mill, April 21.
Chris. Painter ilOated down the river
on board float and when opposite the
hill rollway discovered the body. 1t
was laying in the bed OF the stream in
the middle OF the current, face down
and head down stream, the feet were
extended and served as anchors to
hold the body in place. This was on
the ninth day after the drowning,
the body looking quite fresh, and with
no signs of decomposition, the cold
water keeping it intact. The inter
ment took place in the orchard at
Raughts Mill

Summer has come, and with her
advent we are reminded that the pres
ent supervisors are woefulIy negligent
as regards the fixing of sidewalks
about our village. The walk on Elk
street has slipped down the embank-
ment Il large hole near Aaron's saloon
makes a dangerous spot for strangers
after night, the walks at the west end
of South street are in terrible condi-
ton, especially the one at the foot
bridge near Mrs. Cunningham's. We
could multiply instances, however,
this is enough. We suggest that our
worthy supervisors let up OH pigeon
hunting long enough to attend to the
duties of their office, or resign to let
the court appoint men who will act
This subject will be continued in q
more pointed manner in our next
issue unless action is taken 10y those
officers in the meantime.

Auditors Of boroughs and townships
too often neglect the publication OF

it should be done and alfiXes penalties
for neglect of such duty. Cases have
come before the courts in several
counties of the state, and the auditors

The New York Evening Post In its
last issue says: While it is now beyond
question that the crops in this country
not only of cereals but of cotton, &c.
will exceed those of any other year OF
record, yet approxima'e ely correct infor-
nation about the production of cereals
in Europe is still waiting. 1t is there
fore difficult for merchants and Others
to form an opinion worthy of acceptance
as guide to business operations respect
ing the prices which our exportoble sur
plus will bring. The general indica-
lions are nevertheless that all food pro-
ducts will rule much lower than last
year. So far as this bears upon the ques-
ton of gold imports it should be borne
in mind that one of the important factors
for general prosperity is cheap food
This is so we'll understood that it is to
be expected that European capital will
seek the securities of country so pros
porous as ours is and promises to be, and
that securities will form more impor-
uant element than of late years in our
exports.

road earnings continue very large, the

him. At a breakfast at which five
were to eat the other morning, the
four agreed among themselves to eat
nothing but bread and butter, drink a
