TflqUe Treasurer.

Elsewhere we publish a statement of the
receipts and disbursements of the village
funds during the past year, and in justice
to the members of the retiring council
must say, that the showing, not only as
made by the exhibit, but also by the evil
dences of the work actually accomplished,
is certainly c%reditable The total receipts
of the year from all sources were So, COG, 70,
this with a cash balance on hand of $552.1 Is
made the total available revenue So, ass So.
At the beginning of the year there was an
outstanding Indebtedness in unpaid orders
of $S97.14 so that the actual mou at
the disposal Of the council was but So
SOL "a OF this sum there was paid for
labor in the improvement and repairs of
streets $685.. 90 exclusive of poll tax labor,
but of this amount $2S7.00 is outstanding
and not due until June 10th, and to meet
this there is Il balance in the treasurer's
hands of $237 OF. Thus it will be seen
that Notwithstanding the many and extern
sive public improvements made, the vii
lage is out of debt and in good shape &c
meet the demands of the coming season.
and for this we have TO thank the men,
hers of the old council.

What II smile of relief and satisfaction
will steal over the co%untenances of n down
trodden and long suffering people when
they read q notice, elsewhere published,
regarding cattle running at large in the

backed by IN order of the council, pro:
poses to impound all stock found running
at large in the village limits after Monday
next; and that the order will be rigidly
enforced, any who fail to heed, will then
discover. We hope to see a good sized

that the village have been overrun and
greatly annoyed with the ~depredations of

which ragged a year ago. Conductor Jam.

Council Dalnns.

March 22.-Our new council started
in good Shape at their first meeting held
OH Wednesday of last week, and as u start.
er raised the price of liquor licenses from
$3.50 to 500 per year. This action. while
somewhat unexpected, was deemed neces.
sary for several reasons, the principal ar
gument in favor of such an advance being
that rs the construction Of the new lines
of railroads will bring u large floating ele.
men! among us the coming season, it was
deemed advisable to place the license at a
figure that would in a Measure increase the
responsibility of those engaged in the
traffic, debar STRANGERS from engaging in
theb business for a few months. and by this
means tend to lessen infringement of the
law and keep the traffic under control.
When put TO a vote in the council the
amendment was unanimously adopted.

ture, which was not only interesting, but
highly instructive.
The lecture last evening was delivered
by Prof. Varney, who chose rs his subject
''Tepchers and their vacations" The pro
fcssor was unfortunately iudisposed, and
consequently unHble to do full justice to
his subject. He made an earnest appeal
to the teachers present, upon whom he
urged the great necessity of a careful and
thorough preparation, devotion 10 their
duties and the conscientious discharge OF
their responsible trusts. The destinies OF
nations, their progress and enlightenment
depend mainly upon the teachers, for upon
them, Is we'll as upon parents, devolves
the moulding and training of the minds
and characters of children who are gov
erned and guided through life by the in
structions and impressions Of their youth
full days. The lecture was one that prof
tied all who heard it. At the close OF the
lecturers remarks Prof. Pendergast spoke
II few words in support of the argument,
and deplored the tendency to employ in
competent teachers simply because they
worked cheap. This policy led him to
think that the motto on our dollars should
be changed, to make the phrase more ap'
propriate, and suggested that it read TN

Teachers Institute.

IN - -
last week Was called to order Monday at 9:40
A. NJ, Supt. johnson in the chair and Prof.
Varney as instructor. The attendance in
the forenoon did not exceed a bakers
and the school room comfortably heated,
all present were in good humor and the
hours flew rapidly.
Supt. johnson opened the session by a
few brief remarks, after which he intro
duced Prof. Varney, wlo proceeded in
ii few kindly remarks TO make ali feel per-
fectly at home, and it was net long ere
the cold barrier of formality and difidence
was broken down. The morning hours
were occupied in laying out ii programme
for the following day. The first study
taken up was reading, and the new and
various methods Prof. Varney has of
treating that much neglected study made
it as interesting and entertaining as the
adventures of Wild Bill or Don Quixote.
Grammar was next taken up, the study
being conducted by Supt. johnson. New
methods were introduced, new ideas were
brought forward, and altogether the study.
instead of being a dry, clusty one, was as
jolly as a circus.
Mental arithmetic was the next thing
put on the boards, and under the skillful
hand of Prof. Varney this branch took
hold of the minds of all with a good grip.
The next study was how to get home,
satisfy the inner man and get back to the
school house at 1:3C without swimming or
using a boat.
The afternoon session was began with
the laying out of a programme for Tues
days history lesson, the subject of which
Was Mr.. G. Columbus and his discoveries
Instructions in grammar and arithmetic
conducted by Superintendent johnson and
Prof. Varney occupied the afternoon, the
days session closing with exercises in
spelling and pronunciation.
The attendance had increased during
the day and by afternoon nearly thirty
teachers were counted vending their way
homeward through the pud mnadles and
pools of water.
TUESDAYS SESSION
was opened by an address by Prof. Var
ney. after which reading, arithmetic, pen
manship, history, dinner, grammar, geog'
raphy and hygenie were discussed, the ex'
~ercises being extremely interesting and OF
great 'alue, especially so because OF the
efforts of the painstakihg and competent
corps of instructors who not only have the
gift of entertaining the members of the
institute, but a'so possess the requisite
ability and experience necessary to in
struct. In the evening a lecture by Prof,
P~endergast, which is elsewhere reported,
was given, and formed one of the mos
pleasing intellectual treats of the season.

Washington, Jan. 25.-The commit
sidered a proposition by Commissioner
Loring that at first seems extraordin-
airy. The committee are ready, how
ever, to hear explanations on the sub
ject. Mr.. Loring wants an appropri-
alton Of S100, 900 to pay the expense of
distributing monthly reports 10 the
farmers. Last year only $4,000 were
used for this purpose. The committee
summoned DR.. Loring to appear before
them tomorrow and give explanations
why he should need so large a sum-. The
committee seem disposed to allow the
appropriation, provided it should ap.
pear that it can be used with advan-
tage. The opinion was quite freely ex-
pressed to-day that it would be much
better for the country if the monthly
crop reports could be placed in the
hands of the farmers rather than the
brokers and produce dealers, who, it is
claimed, are governed by them to a
large extent in their operations. Some
maintain, however, that the news
papers, publishing as they do complete
abstracts Of the reports suited to their
respective localities, fully meet the de-
mands of the case, and, indeed, afford
means of a wider and more prompt dis
tribution than can be obtained any

Berlin, Jan. 26.-Bismarck's speech
created great excitement. 1t was an
emphatic reassertion Of the doctrines of
the imperial rescript as to the relations
between the Prussian king and the
people, a direct challenge to the reich
stag, and its very aggressive tone
aroused a tremendous uproar in the
house, although otherwise it made a IA
vorable impression. The expression
which Bismarck pronounced equally
absurd with ''the king reigns, but does
not govern" was constitutional absolu-
tion of the ministry which Herr Haeul
had referred to in attacking the re-
script-not ministerial responsibility
as reported in a previous dispatch.
Bismarck declared he could only as
sumo that the learned persons who
spoke of the constitutional supremacy
of the house were afflicted with OBJ
scure vision. He regretted they showed
so little respect for the king. Royalty,
he said, must not be allowed to be
weakened by disuse. He reminded the
deputies that he attended the reichstag
merely in the capacity of a royal Prus-
sian plenipotentiary. In conclusion, he
said: 1.-THE political functionaries, dur
ing the elections, must defend the gov
eminent against the calumnies of its
enemies with truth against falsehood.
At the same time, however, with a
secret ballot, they could vote as they

Washington, Jan. 26.-Scoyille said
last night that the next nov in the
GLiteau case would be a motion for a
new trial, which he expects to file on
Saturday. The main points on which
it is based are: That the jury erred in
rendering a verdict contrary to law
and the evidence. That Judge Cox in
his charge did not base it upon all the
evidence; and hat the jury during the
trial read newspapers and had CONVEX
sations with outside persons. Should
the motion be denied an appeal will be
taken to court in banc in April.
Referring to the verdict, Scoville
said that after hearing Judge Cox's
charge he was not surprised that the
jury rendered a verdict of guilty. He
refrained, however, from passing any
criticism on Judge Cox's charge, fur
Their than to say that he had not been
accustomed to hear a Judge address a
jury as Judge Cox did, and but simply
submit the written instructions, and
this upon the law bearing on the case,
and not upon the evidence. Judge Cox,
Mr.. Scoville thought, did not review the
entire evidence given in the case, but
only portions of it.
Guiteau is said by some to have APP
peared to be the coolest person in the
court room at the time the verdict was
announced. Scoville believes that when
the excitement attending the trial is
over, the excitement which, he thinks,
has sustained Guiteau all the way
through, he will become a raving
maniac.
Scoville does not talk like a man who
thinks his labor in this matter is at an
end. There is good ground, he thinks,
for a new trial, and he proposes to show
this from the record of the trial, when
the popular feeling against Guiteau has
died away In that record he says it
will be found that the letter from Gui-
teau to Dirtrict Attorney Corkhill,
with the signature and a large part of
its contents torn of, was admitted in
evidence; besides this, there is the ex-
pert testimony, which he says is con-
demned by thousands Of competent
men throughout the country; and other
facts, not matters of record, all of
which can be used as reasons for asking
for q new trial
