islative Committee to Newburgh and the
amount designated, $4,000, for the addi-
tion there looks very much as though the
Legislature was in earnest, and the propos-
ed enlargement of existing asylums would
be made.
Then the addition to our Infirmary would
not be needed. The asylum with exper-
fenced and trained nurses under State Su-
pervision is the better place to care for the
insane and imbecile.
Without vote the Commissioners are
authorized to expend a sum not exceeding
$1,000 upon Improvements of this kind.
That expenditure is amply sufficient for
all amounts at present. We hope the peo-
pie will vote the proposition down.

A New Town Hall.

In Difference to the wishes ofa large num-
Der of our citizens the Trustees of thetow
ship have decided TO submit the question
of the building of new town hall to the
voters at the coming April election, which
viii involve tax not to exceed $4,000.
Those who have seen the hall in Ashland,
are very much pleased with il, and all agree
that we want something at least as good.
1t is estimated that the above sum will be
ample to build such a one. The taxable
property of Wellington village was listed
last year at $S66, ,3S2: that of the township
$542,s ,s17, making a total Of 81 ,409, ,199
Under the provisions Of q general statute
a township may levy a tax not to exceed
four mills on the dollar for the period of
seven years, and issue and sell bonds for
the construction payable as the money Is
received from the levy. "A levy of three
mills on the present valuation would raise
over $2e 900 in seven years, and it is pre-
sumable that the increase of property year
by year would make up the sum to $50, 900,
besides providing for the interest on the
bonds. At first thought il might seem that
$4,000 was so large sum as to materially
increase the burden Of taxes, but when il
is remembered that il is to be spread
over q period of seven years making the
annual tax larger by only about $4.2s5, it
looks much less formidable. Or to make
it more definite and enable each man to
estimate Just what it would cost him year
by year, il may be stated that a tax ofthree
mills would amount to just thirty cents on

REV. JOSEPH COOK.
Press Notices.

Referring to Mr.. Cooks power of men
tel assimilation, writer in The Nation of
May ID, 1880, remarks: Thirty lectures
per year for tive years, reprinted in fif-
teen newspapers and filling ten books, one
of which has reached a sixteenth edition,
is the record upon which Mr.. Cook re-
tiresfrom the Boston Monday lectureship."
He lightens and thunders, throwing q
vivid light on topic by an expression or
comparison, or striking a presumptuous
error as by a bolt from Heaven. He it
not afraid to discuss the most abstracs,
scientific or philosophic themes before a
popular audience; he arrests his hearers,
first by his earnestness, then by the clear
ness of his exposition, and fixes the whole
in the mind by the earnestness of his NOR
al purpose.-President James McCosh,
Princeton College.
At high noon on Monday, fremont Tenn
pie was packed TO ,suffocation and over
flowing, although five thousand people
were in the Tabernacle at the same hour.
The Temple audience consisted chiefly of
men, and was of distinguished quality,
containing hundreds of persons we'll known
in the learned professions. Wendell Phil
lipps, Edward Everett Hale, Bronson
Alcott, and many other citizens of emi-
nence, sat on the platform. No better
proof than the character of the audience
ct uld have been desired to show that Mr..
Cooks popularity as a lecturer is not con-
fined to the evangelical denominations.
1t is not often that Boston people honor
public lecturer so much as to crowd TO
hear him at the noon-tide of a week day
and when it does this month after month,
the fact is proof positive that his subject Is
one of engrossing interest. Mr.. Cook, per-
haps more than any other gentleman In
the lecture-tield the past few years, has
been so honored.-Boston Daily Adver-
tiser.

We are just on the eve Of another Town
ship and corporation election -Four mem
bers of the Council, two members Of the
School Board, one Cemetery Trustee and
three Township Trustees are to be chosen.
We believe that Wellington people have
never been accused of an itching for local
Office, on the contrary, almost all Town
ship and corporation officers usually go
begging and many of our best business
men invariably refuse to take offices on
account of the interference with their bust
ness As q consequence We do not always
get the best talent for the several positions.
II there has been any excuse for this in
the past there is now. Wellington has
reached such a stage in its growth that i'm
proyements are demanded and this demand
will increase as the town increases in pop
ulation and wealth, and we need the very
We are aware that men Of large business
interests are not strongly attracted by the
honors of an official position that makes
large demand upon ones time without any
compensation, but il Is a sacrifice they
ought 10 make, each in his turn for the
public good. Until the most competent
men are willing to give a share OF their
time 10 the public, we shall never have
the most efficient service. We have no
axes to grind or preference to serve. We
are only anxious that the best men ayaila-
BILE shall be selected to I'LL the offices this
year, that no personal feeling shall enter
into the contest and that every interest may
be subordinate to the public good.
