separated without destroying its sense,
but it must be interpreted as in its
true relation. 1t may be within the In
tendment of the consolidated statute to
continue the liability which was i'm
posed by the act of 1871, but mani
festly there was no intention to include
cases of conviction before Justices,
punishable only by Imprisonment.
County Commissioners have no
power to discharge prisoner or remit
fines, forfeitures, and costs. If courts
have sanctioned their acts in paying
costs out of county funds, where par
ty was committed solely in default of
payment of costs, that does not author
ize their interference where there has
been conviction and sentence for a
criminal offense. A Judge considers
the pecuniary ability of the party when
he imposes the fine and often makes
the period of imprisonment shorter be-
cause of the probability that the con-
vict will remain, after its expiration,
the prescribed time before he can be
discharged under the insolvent laws.

Human Sacrifices.

LONDON, April ia Burmah cor
respondent says Mandaley astrologers
maintain that, in order to remove evil
influences, great propitiatory sacrifice
is requisite Victims will be taken
from all ranks to the number of 400.
The priests contribute 100, the remain
der men. women and children Many
arrests have been made to secure a
sufficient number for victims to be
selected from. The priests, who have
hitherto enjoyed immunity from sac
rifce, are quitting Mandaley in great
numbers. The Catholic Convent was
entered to procure victims from among
the girls there, but the attempt was
frustrated. The internal condition OF
the country is most unsatisfactory.
The people, while seeing the folly OF
King Theebaw's acts, are helpless to
effect change.
A dispatch from Rangoon reports
that 700 men, women, boys, girls,
priests and foreigners have been
burned alive under the towers of the
city walls, as sacrifice fo" the restora-
tion of the Kings health. The panic
in Mandaley is frightful, and hundreds
of people are leaving the city. The
Kings illness is said to be leprosy.

naturalized American citizen, cast his
first vote. Some timid persons look on
this bequeued, smiling Sing Yan, as
he glides up to the polls, with dislike,
fearing lest he may presently multiply
thousand and million fold, get the
balance of power, crowd out the native
politicians as he has crowded out the
San Francisco washerwomen, get up
Presidential booms for this or that
favorite mandarin, introduce the study
of Confucius into the public schools,
and play the mischief with our insti-
tutions generally. Meanwhile Sing

Township ADULTS.

There is an impression among many
of our citizens that under the recent
act of Assembly, township and bor-
ough auditors should meet to audit the
account of township and borough Of
fcers on the second Monday in April,
as heretofore. This is mistake. The
auditors will meet this year on the
second Monday of April, but after this
year, under the act of June 4th, 1879,
they will meet on the second Monday
of March. The accounts of school di-
rectors and school treasurers will be
audited on the first Monday Of June
The terms of all township officers
elected at the recent election, except
school directors and Justices of the
Peace, will commence on the first Mon
day Of April, and end on the first Mon
day of March, 1881, giving them only
eleven months in Office.

Wheat Crop Promising.

We have inquired of our farmers
from all parts Of this county, and the
very general reply is that the wheat
in the ground never looked better than
it does this year. 1t is green and
looks healthy, having none of that
sickly, yellowish appearance of last
year and the year before, caused, it
was supposed, by the fly, which it is
said is not now infesting the wheat
very much We therefore have reason
to hope for q good crop of wheat this
harvest. The only trouble is that
there is not enough wheat sown in
this county, and much that is is put in
poor ground. The consequence is
that our millers have been buying and
bringing into the county wheat from
abroad. This should not be. This
county should raise wheat to sell
shroad, and NOT to buy. Let our farm.
en-, around Butler particularly. take a
hsw start In raising wheat, and we
will always have something then to
bring money here.

to the teacher by her pupils, as token
of gratitude for the love she had shown
them and the interest she had taken

of as a Republican nominee for Con.
gress in Butler county. He is safe
man. His good judgment, candor,
ability and experience well qualify him
for the position, and his old constitu-

learn of his nomination and election,
believing that both he and the people
of his district would be honored there

cessive years. The above compliment
therefore paid him comes from peo-
pie who know him and who learned to
appreciate his merits both as a repre-
sentative and as an honest man. We
notice in several other of our ex-
changes favorable mention made OF
his candidacy for Congress in this dis
