B. Persons as one of the Supervisors,
and w. H. Thomas was superseded
by VIM. Prideaux as Town Clerk.
The other officers are the same as
last year. The people generally
didn't seem to manifest much interest
in the election and not even hold a
caucus. The only noticeable con-
tention was between w. III. Thomas
and VIM. Prideaux, resulting in
favor of the latter.
During the anniversary at the M.

however, as the flames were speedily

Illinois Road Laws.

The road law. drawn by Phocion
Howard, and now before the Illinois
legislature, provides that wherever
any country shall institute system
of permanent road improvement
the state shall make an annual APP
preparation to such county of a
sum equal to the amount raised for
such improvement. This placing Of
a premium upon road work is prob
ably one of the Leot .-eti."ds Of
stimulating the dormant energies of
the people in that respect which
could be devised. By making the
state aid dependent upon a previous
declaration of good intentions it
forces counties to take such for
ward steps as to assure a continu-
ance III the improvements contem-
plated. There is, however, nothing
compulsory in the inception of the
work; county can have state aid
or not just as it pleases, but if it
wishes that aid, certain conditions
have to be complied with. On the
other hand, it is no more than
right that the state should assist in
bearing the burden of expense as
every rod of road improvement,
in any portion of the state increases
the wealth of the state. The i'm
provement, begun upon the road
reaches up through every portion of
society and leaves its mark in the
increased wealth and prosperity of
the whole state.
1t would be well if we could have
secured similar law in Wisconsin,
something which would offer an
inducement to counties to push
ahead in 4 work that is demanded
more and more every day. 1t is to
hoped that before the time for
another session of the legislature
rolls round the friends of this move
ment will be ready to go before that
body with well digested plan for
highway improvement. In the
meantime experiments may be made
by different communities and this
experience, thus gathered, will be of
much use in determining the future
mode of action.-Lancaster Herald.

upon several grounds, but particularly
because to continue the observance of
Saturday involves great financial sacri-
flee and personal Inconvenience, and
in consequence, not more than ten per
cent. of American Jews now observe
the day. The ilea has gained ground
among them that. the Sabbath was made

Human Sacrifices in Greece.

The tourist among the temples would
were disused, they had once been
customary, and ceremonies existed by
way OF commute ion. This is precisely
what we find in edic religion, in which
the empty form Of sacrificing man was
gone through. snd tie origin of the
world was traced to fragments of a god
sacrificed by gods. In Sparta was an
altar of ArteRis 0rthia and wooden
image of great rudeness and antiquity,
so rude, indeed, that Pausanius, though
'customed to Greek fetish stones,
tho ght it must lie of barbaric origin.
The story was that certain people of
different towns, when sacrificing at the
altar, were seiz d with frenzy and slew
Zach other. The oracle commanded that
the altar should b. sprinkl d With
human blood Men were there
fore chosen by lot to be sacri-
fic d, till Ly.urgus committed the
offering, and spinkled the altar with
the blood OF boys who were logged

are on par with the initiatory cere-

some day find the rude figure of the
goddess. which was held upright by
shrub into which it was thrust. At Pa.
tire was temple of Artemis, called
1.-THE Implacable," and to her it had
been customary to sacrifice yearly
youth and maiden of transcendent
beauty. In PaTsanias time the human
sacrifice was committed He himself
beheld the strange spectacle of living
beasts and birls being driven into the
fire to A tennis, AMI he ha seen bears
refuse t. face the fire and rush back
among the ministrants. But there was no
record that any one had ever been hurt
by the wild beasts on hesc sacred occa.
ons. The bear was beast closely
connected vita A1temis, and there is
even reason to suppose that the goddess
had herself been she-bear in the mo n
ing of time. There is 90 d deal of
mystic speculation about the idea of
motherhood as mbolized in the She
bear in Bachofen' Der Bder tn den Re
'igionen des AiterttNnS. But, as all
savage religi rs, beasts were the first
gods of which we find trace, and as
they slowly develop in anthropomorphic
beings. it seems simpler to regard the
bears OF ATtem!s as rivals of a period
of barbarous thought. Among the
TheSpians, Zeus at one time demanded
that human sacri ces sho Id be offered

sacrifice of Andromeda. probably refers
to some such custom as that which Of

Tiger Balls.

We see by an Eastern paper that a
Massachusetts town mas had what they
call Tiger Ball" That must be a
good deal such ballas they used to have
up in the central part of the State at
place called Rhodes Corners. They
used to have "Tige. Balls" there years
ago. and the tiger that was let loose
there was enough to make a man hair
stand. The boys would go out rom the
towns in the V chit n droves, and az
they wore good clothes, and smoked
cigars, while the boys around the Cor
ners attended the bal dressed in over
hauls and wooden sh rt and only one
suspender the girls would get mashed
on the town boys, and that would make
the bows at the Corners mad and then
the tiger business would commence.
Some of the boys who have attended the
tiger balls can remember distinctly just
how the tiger was let loose. When one
of the boys from town would be cooling
around the country girl some one would
paste him in the ear with a frozen tur-
nip aad knock MIN down, and then the
whole Gang OF country tigers would pre-
teno - lie anxious to pick him up and
they would roll him around on the dirty
floor until he looked like discouraged
dish-rag and couldn't mash the homeli-
ct girl in the crowd. and then the coun-
try tigers would let him up. and every
thing wou d be lovely again. If any
one OF the boys from town who went
out to che of those tiger balls was par
ticularly attentive to The girls the tigers
would make him regret it or die in the
attempt. And hen the town BOYS got
ready to go home they were generally
the worst demoralized set that ever at
tended ball, and the country tigers
would laugh it of and ask them to come
again, and the country boys won be as
fresh as daisies, and they would wink
at each other and say that those fellows
from town could come out there and
have all the fun they " nted, but when
