Niback J.-This was a proceeding against the
county commissioners for "A mandate to compel
the levying of certain taxes charged to have

The county board made a levy of per cent.

thus raised were not sufficient to pay the entire

that as the levies for 1880 and 1881 amounted
TO per cent, on the taxable property of the
townships, the power to levy taxes to pay the APP
preparations was exhausted, and that, the
deficiencies resulted from the shrinkage In value
OF the taxable property of the townships, 1t is
a case Tor which no provision has been made.
The court, however, holds that the act of 1869,
as amended by the act of 1879, must be con-
strued TO mean that not more than per cent. of
the taxable property of township can be APP
proprlated at any one time or levied within
period OF two years; but when an appropriation
OF not more thar per cent. has been made, 1t
becomes binding obligation upon the town
ship, from which it is not discharged by any sub
sequent shrinkage in the value of property. (73

holds that the power to levy taxes
hausted by the levy of per cent, and that II
the unpaid part of the Appropriation is legal
obligation against the townships it must be
enforced In an ordinary action. No refusal to
pay is alleged, and consequently is
shown for an extraordinary remedy. But the
mere vote OF the electors authorizing the dona-
ton does not establish contract between the
townships and the railroad They must act
through the county board as their agent, and it
is not alleged that the county board made for
the townships any subscription to the stock of
the company, There was therefore contract
which could be enforced in any way (High Elk.

THE question has been asked, "What will be the political complexion of the Connecticut Western NEws?" I wish to assure my readers that the NEWS will not be the organ of any political party or faction. There are already enough political papers in the state, and party spirit runs sufficiently high without adding more fuel to the flame. The wise policy of the founder of this paper, the late J. l.. Pease, will be adhered to. To furnish my readers each week with interesting news items concerning the towns in this section will be my first endeavor. The right IS reserved to criticise any scheme or combination liable to defraud or oppress the public Any enterprise of doubtful character will not receive the approval of tht NEWS. To maintain paper devoted tt the highest and best interests of society will be my aim. $. C. BEcKLEY.

as coming from Colorado or some min ing district; then it is all very probable that the ore is rich. I have compared the ore with that from mines in North Carolina and other places and have seen ore from every part of North and some parts of South America. The members of our party have had numerous assays made and all of them have produced gold and silver and per cent of copper and lead are sometimes found. We have taken the assays into consideration and the result is that the ledge of mine ral bearing rock we are on is similar in formation to the celebrated Comstock ledge and is rich in sulphuret of silver. To be brief, we have 8 sample of gold and silver taken from test made by re- liable parties in Boston. I had test from New York company that gave $50 to the ton Tn gold, another in San Fran cisco of over $500 in silver William B. Gibson had an assay from renowned chemist who decided that the mine con- tained acid enough to pay for smelting the ore. There is large supply of sulphuric acid in the ore with the precious metals and all can be secured with the right process.
 Our first work was to make road easy of access around the mountain to the shaft, which we made 12 feet square with building with hoisting apparatus, @ blacksmith shop and house for tools, powder, etc. We found by following the outcropping good ore for about p feet and the farther we went the better 1 the ore and more solid 1t became, so that common drilling and powder would not do the work. Our shaft had some water in it and this winter it was thought advisable to cut drain and let the water off This has been partly done and we are now going to try and get the mine in shape to work. It seems to be thought that we have no business with mine that bears precious metals in this part of the world, but Providence ordered otherwise. The geology of our part of the country around the mine is remarkable and will be examined and written up by abler heads at some future time.
 The ore as we found it four feet down after piling it up and exposing it to the atmosphere set itself on fire just the same as silver ore does in the mines in the Andes. The combination of our ore and the acids in it have no doubt been the cause of noises and small shocks that MT Cleveland's family have expert enced for 8 great while also it shows how mountain could take fire under certain conditions.
 Now why should we not have gol6 and other metals? Ore and metals have been found from Georgia to within the Arctic circle. Nova Scotia and Maine
 have good gold and silver mines ant
 Massachusetts and Connecticut come il for their share. We have copper il Simsbury; we are on a mineral belt, ou l iron shows it. Volcanic action is plainl, evident in our mine. The rock is cross
 ed with seams of ore and it all show
 traces of the precious metals.

A great tidal wave started on the IA inst at the lower end of Broadway, New York city, and reaching Lakeville, Conn, on the IT inst, struck with such force in front of 444 Centenial Ave. as to completely blockade the same with ladies and gents trunks, satchels. On the 20 an immense meteor furnished an additional blockade by the bursting of which IA was again favored with an uncountable lot of assorted collars and saddlery hardware. It is said the de- tonation caused by the bursting of the meteor drowned Col H. P Harris s ''monster" whistle at Ore Hill and caused a great exitment in the mines and rush to the place of visitation by the great Tidal wave and meteor. Wiggie, Wiggie this is no humbug.

WALTER Q. Gresham, judge of the dis trict court of Indiana, has been appoint ed postmaster general On Monday, April 2, the president rendered Judge Gresham the office and the offer was accepted. The appointment is said to, be an excellent one and WAS unsolicited. The honorable record and character of Judge Gresham being well known to the president, he was offered the posi- ton, although there were numerous ap- plicants for the same, all backed by in- fnential friends. He is an old soldier and for brilliant and meritorious services during the war he was recommended by Grant for brigadier- generalship. At one time he was military commander of the Natchez district. He was appointed judge of the district court of Indiana by President Grant and has since held that position. Garfield recognizing his ser vices and merit desired to appoint him secretary of war, but the pressure oi New and others who had axes to grind was so strong that Garfield reluctantly acceded to their wishes, but would make no other appointment from Indiana Judge Gresham was holding court ir Evansville until last Saturday and car not enter immediately on the duties oi postmaster general. First Assistant Postmaster General Halton has beer designated by the president to act as postmaster general until April 15.

WITHIN few months, this country has been called to mourn the loss of many eminent men, and last week the long and useful life of Peter Cooper ended.
 The name of Peter Cooper has been dear to the American people for the last half century, and the noble deeds of this great philanthropist have challeng- cd the admiration of the civilized world. He chose to bestow his wealth during his life time and personally superintend the right employment of his benefac- tions. Most men cling to their wealth until the grave closes over them and their charitable bequests are administer ed by the hands of strangers. Not so with Peter Cooper, and who can estimate the wisdom of his course and the happiness he received in knowing that his money was doing the good he designed ii should. He was born in New York city, February F, 1791, and died April 4, 1883. His early life was one of extreme hardship and the struggle for place ir the business world was bitter one, but he overcame every obstacle and has Jeff record that can never be forgotten His private charities were numberless but the great work of his life was te establish Cooper Union. We will no attempt even brief review of his life bnt as an index of the tribute paid hi memory, attention is called to the fac that the New York Tribune Of April devoted six columns to sketch of h1 life.
 His funeral was attended on Saturday at All Souls Unitarian church at Fourtf avenue and Twentieth street, of whlef he was a member. Rev Robert Collyer Rev Dr Howard Crosby and Rev Dl Thonas M. Peters conducting the ser rices. He was buried in Greenwood cemetery.

South New MarlbOrO's Silver Mine.

To Me Editor of He Neacs:-I have been waiting for a number of things to come to pass before I wrote you about the silver mine in South New Marlboro.
 Parties, myself included, began pros pecting about three years ago. The property now under lease to the said parties is situated in the south part of New Marlboro about one mile north of the state line and takes in the best part of one of the Berkshire hills, so celebrat- ed in descriptions of the natural scenery of the country, and is on the farm of Lucien B. Cleaveland. When we began operations public opinion, especially in the immediate neighborhood, was against our finding anything. A silver mine among us Ridicule met us at every turn and ridicule has much to do in such enterprises, unless one exhibits the ore
