State Senator Robert H. Strlhan testified
before the bribery investigating committee
of the New York Legislature that on the 18th
of May, John l. Davenport offered him the
position of U. s. marshal, upon condition
that he would act against ex-senator Conk-
ling, He declined the BRIDE The question
now recurs, did Davenport make the offer of
this Presidential appointment upon the au-
thority Of President Garfield or not If not,
Davenport deserves to be punished for plac-
ing the President in dishonorablc position.
If Davenport had President Garfelds author
ity for his acts, to what low estate has the
Presidential office fallen, when its occupant
holds out offices in his gift as brides to legis-
lators?

Another New School House Needed.

Mr.. EDITOR: In your last issue, find the
Honorable School Commissioners, in their re-
port, state that "Nos. and 2, 9th district, and
3 and IA, Sd district and 9, 4th district, are to-
tally unfit for school houses. Now this may be
too true; yet would ask, why did they forget
No. 10, Sd district, (Cooksyille,) where we have
no school house, only an old dilapidatcd stone
store house, unfit for any human being to be in !;
yet we are expected to send our children there
to be kept eight hours per day, to suffer with
the cold in winter, while we pay taxes to tear
down better houses than we have, for the pur-
pose of building more commodious ones in more
favored neighborhoods. We pay q large amount
of taxes in this school district and are partially
debarred from the privileges that are our own
that is, of sending our children to school where
they can be comfortable.
Z. We have asked for house, but in vain. Can
you, Mr.. Editor, explain the workings of these
things To me il is not plain. TAX PAYER.

world was to come to an end, The believers in
this bogus prophecy willnow, perhaps, breathe
frcer,seeing that all things endure as they were.

flames, can realize for his trouble by shipping
it to New Orleans; and the man who built an

Busy TIMES FOR FARMERs.-0ur farmers are

In many instances entire fields were planted

same time hay harvest has begun. The crop of
clover hay promises to be abundant Wheat is
coming on finely and the yield, generally, will
be good, but there are some fields, that were
planted late, where the crop will be below the
average. Some fields of wheat will be ready to
cut before hay harvest is over SO that altogether
farmers are up to their eyes in work. In the
lower part of the county the wheat has been
greatly injured by the heavy rain, which threw
it down and prevented the heads from filling.
