The usual complaint has been made
about big boys indecently exposing their
persons while bathing at the lagoon
above town. 1t has become common
for this thing to become a nuisance
every year, and, as there is law against
such antics somebody is going to get
into trouble if it isn't stopped. We
hope for the good of all concerned, that
no further mention need be made Of
it. Ladies and gentlemen have to pass
the locality mentioned, and if the boys
cannot be manly enough to be decent,
they must be forced to-that's all.

DEPARTMENT REPORTS.


Postmaster. General Howe in his annual re-
port vigorously attacks the present method Of
paying postmasters. A more cumbrous or
complex system, he says could not be devils
Cd and radical changes are necessary. Re-
ferring to the star service Mr. Howe says that
the broad purpose Of providing adequate pos
tai facilities for all communities, without re-
gard to geographical location, is made the
first and leading consideration, and to secure
that result without improvident expenditure
of means is the second consideration. To
provide all needed postal facilities and at the
same time to guard against unnecessary ex.
pendituro is most difficult duty, but he be-
lieves that during the last fiscal year that del
icate duty has been very satisfactorily dis
charged The expansion of the railroad sys-
TEN has been greater in the past year than
ever before in any one year. Important con-
nections have been made with California and
Mexico. The aggregate cost of the service is
of necessity largely increased every year, but
it is gratifying fact that the transportation
service will be conducted during the next ifs
cal year for 1872, 600 less than for the past
year As to a lower rate of postage, the re.
port says 81 remain of the opinion that the
postage on second-cass matter (nowspapes
and periodically ought properly to be abolish
ed 1 wish also to repeat and to emphasize
the opinion that the rate of postage on fourth
class matter should be increased. To charge
three cents a half ounce for carrying messages
from one postofiice to another and yet to car
ry merchandise from one side of the cont.
nent to the other for one cent an ounce, Is
not approved by good sense il il is by good
morals. Some anxiety has been manifested
to reduce first class postage to two cents the
half-ounce II it should be thought that such
O reduction in rates would cause too great d
shrinkage in the revenues, l would respect
fully suggest that correspondence may be
cheapened almost as much by another meas
ure, much less costly to the treasury. II
| Congress will authorize the sale Of stamped
envelopes at the same price at which adhesive
stamps are Sold it would lessen the cost OIL
correspondence" Mr. Howe thinks that il
this country, as in Belgium, Switzerland aut
Germany, the postofice department might
| properly be utilized as a medium for the col
lection of small bills He also thinks a sys
tenn of deposit for small sums should b,
engrafted on the postal service. He still
further believes that the time has come when
the telegraph and postal service should b,
united, and the reasons for such step ar,
urged forcibly and at some length.

THE VILLAGE MEETING.
The annual village meeting which was
held on Monday evening, was an exceedingly
quiet gathering and the business was speedily
transacted without friction Of any sort. AT
O'Clock. the hour at which the meeting was
called, only three persons were in the hall and
the meeting was not called to order till 1880.
Before the business was concluded some 800
or 400 voters were in attendance. In the alb
sence Of Hon. Il. W. Clarke, chairman Of the
old board OF bailiff5, Col. j. j. Estey called
the meeting TO order, and the reading Of the
warrant by the clerk followed The financial
report and the report of the chief engineer

following result, the election being by accla-
nation in each case Clerk and treasurer,

| fray the necessary expenses Of the proper
Observance Of Memorial.day. A tax of 80

voted and made payable forthwith the whole
| to be paid to the treasurer by June LIST next.
| Under the article to see il the village will sell
or convey the Hook and Ladder property on
| Elliot street il was voted to authorize the
bailiGs to convey the property IL in their
! judgment it is advisable, and the chairman Of
| the board OF bailiffs was made the agent of
the village for such conveyance. II was fur
Their voted that the bailiffs and chief engineer
| be authorized to repair the hydrants and pipes
OF the FIRE department as may be necessary
for the proper protection Of the village, and
that they have the power to buy 1000 feet Of
new hose. 1t was also voted to make the

ris COMMITTEES to put in telephone fire

transaction Of this an adjournment followed.

The great astronomical event of the cen
fury, the transit of Venus, occurred Wednes-
day, and was phenomenon of great interest
where ever it was visible. The transit of We
nus, or the passage of that planet across the
face of the sun, is an event of great impor-
lance to astronomers, for the reasons that it
furnishes them with data for the calculation
of the distance between the earth and
the sun, a distance that is used as
the basis of all other astronomical measure
ments of space; and because of its rarity.
Once in 5S4 days lin round numbers) Venus
traverses the space between the earth and the
sun, but owing to the different incinations
of the orbits of the two planets is seldom in a
position to intervene between the sun and us
as the moon does in an eclipse. When it has
once happened, eight years will bring a repe-
tition of the occurrence, after which alter
nate periods of 1853 and 1919 years must
pass before the phenomenon will again be Wis
ible, so that, while one generation may wit
ness the spectacle twice, the next three or
four will have no such chances. 1t is for
this reason then, that so much preparation
is made by scientific men, and money appro-
priated by national governments to fit out OBJ
serving expeditions.
Wednesdays event was hardly more than a
partial success so far as the general result is
concerned, although the weather was far
more favorable than during the transit of
1874. In this immediate vicinity clouds OBJ
scured tho sun until about one o'clock. In
Boston and other prominent New England
points south of US, with the exception of a
short time after the first internal contact, the
sky was either entirely clear or sufficiently so
to allow good and satisfactory observations.
Elsewhere the greatest interest would attach
TO the governmental stations. The United
States had eight expeditions, four within its
own territory, at San Antonio, Tex, Cedar
Keys, Fla, Fort Selden, N. NJ, and at Wash
ington. Germany had one of its stations at
Hartford, Conn, and one ut Aiken, S. c.;
France had one in Florida; and at various
other places in North and South America
there were more than score of government
stations, besides several established by Eng
land in Africa and the vicinity of Australia
The reports received from even the most ac-
cessible of these stations are meagre, but go
to show that, on this continent, no station
was utterly debarred from making observa-
tions by the cloudy weather, while at several
the success was all that could be wished for,
so that valuable material has been furnished
for the use of the astronomers, and in guam
tity sufficient to occupy them with calcula-
tions for several years to come. Observa-
tions were made by all of the educational in-
situations possessing the MEANS and at many
private observatories, though there was prev
alence of cloud nearly everywhere.

The Secretary of tine Interior, in discussing
Indian affairs in his annual report urges at
length the Importance of making fixed an
nual appropriation for Indian education. The
total sales of land during the year aggregate
II, 300, 1GG acres, and the amount Of money
received in connection with the sales was S.
1894, SIG. The number of applications for
patents was q, 622 and the total receipts of
the Office were $3.50, S64. There were at the
having an average pension of $lO2.7 20. The
aggregate annual value of the whole roll was
$29 ,34l, 1Ol. There are now 29O, 9GG claims
pending, and 70, PCS on the rejected list. The
Secretary emphasizes the recommendation of
the commissioner of education as to the pro-
priety and necessity of speedy temporary aid
by the federal government to education.

special feature Of this code is such a clas-
si6cation and Encouragement of the criminal
laws into graduation of crimes and their
punishment, as enables any intelligent per-
son to readily find out and understand this
important part of tho laws of the state.
On Sunday last the new Sunday laws were
put in force in New York city, and, as was to
be expected, the result was confusion worse
COMPOUNDED so far as any uniform method OF
procedure was concerned. Instead Of trying
to exercise wise discretion in taking note of
offenders, the officers of the law seem to have
acted on the principle of making the law as
obnoxious as possible. Thus, belated milk
mau was arrested while delivering his fluid
after the hour appointed as limit to his la
bors, while the convenient "side door" Of
whiskey shops served as ascreen to hide from
the policemans averted gaze other infrao-
tions Of the law. One magistrate absolutely
discharged all BARRIERS brought before him on
charges of law breaking, under the code,
while another magistrate held for trial SINH
lar culprits arragned in his court. Tho vigi-
lance of the guardians Of the public peace ex-
tended to the arrest of Chinese pagan,
while Christian gentlemen were allowed to
have their boots blacked unmolested in the
friendly shelter of places where liquors and
cigars are sold. 1t is admitted, however,
that there was no disorder anywhere, and
that an 'almost preternaturar quiet pre-
| vailed in the city.
