$4,000 less than two millions of dollars,
which, if we recollect correctly, is the ex-
treme limit fixed by law. But there seemed
to be no political ring to engineer it through
the Legislature, and the proposition could
not, therefore, be entertained to the conse-
quent great disadvantage of the States ma
terial interests.
Now, the way we read it, there seems to be
money in it for somebody, but not Tor the
State. The treasurer of the State is said to
be receiving from ~ to per cent. on the
money, thus realizing some $4,000 or $50. 900
by this shrewd system of legislative finan-
ciering. Of course he is not supposed to be
to blame for that, but as he is represented to
be tender-hearted, clever gentleman, ne
will not refuse TO do the fair thing by those
who so kindly and thoughtfully brought
about such happy results. However this
may be, the collection of taxes goes on all
the same, while two or three stories of the
unfinished capitol of the State, that is needed
so badly, stands for years a conspicuous mon
ument of political huckstering and stupid

One of the most prominent farmers near Itch
field, on being interviewed on the condition of
the wheat crop, says that on looking over his
own fields he found on exposing the roots Of
the poorest looking wheat, that they we're APP
parently in good condition and beginning III
send ont shoots. He states thar, in his opinion,
with the prospects, there will be IL full yield.
At Vandalia, a German named Roman Rover.
was found Thursday morning lying on the floor
near his bed with his neck broken. The suppo-
siton is that while in fit of apupleXy, to
which he subject. he pitched out of bed,
striking his head in such manner as to bend 1t
under his body, IN which position he was found.
The deceased was sixty-twO years old, unlnar-
ried and served III the late war.
A Globe-Democrat special from Sparta, goth,
says: your issue of yesterday contained an
item from some one here relative to the pros
pect for wheat crop. The writer is Respondent
without reason. 1t is true that q number of
fields look bad, but have often seen fine
crops from less promising appearances. Be-
tween this point and Chester much of the wheat
looks we'll. West of the Okaw river it looks
better still. The appearance is rather hopeful
than otherwise.

An OLD Citizen of Seymour Found Dead in
Vault

An Old Citizen of Seymour Found Dead in
Vault
Seymour Daily Lever, S0th.
Our community was thrown into a state
of terrible excitement, a little after noon
to-day by the discovery of the remains of
Michael Burkhardt, ST., one of our wealthiest
and best-known citizens, in an open vault
in the rear of the lots formerly occupied by
the old Faulkconer House.
Mr.. Burkhardt was last seen about
o'clock, yesterday evening; but, as he was in
the habit of occasionally being absent from
home, no particular uneasiness was felt for
his safety until this forenoon, when inquiry
and search was instituted by his friends.
Just after dinner, Lewis Godfrey remem-
bered the open pitfalls referred to above,
and, repairing to the spot, he was Mortified
to find the body immersed in the water and
filth, with only portion of the back OF his
head exposed to view.
The remaiHs were at once taken out and re-
moved to his late residence, where coroner
Brown is now engaged in holding an inquest,
which will probably result in determining
the cause of his death.
OF course nothing is known as to the exact
time or manner of the sad occurrence; but
as the unfortunate man had long been in
feeble health, and was subject to sudden and
severe attacks of vertigo, the general suppo-
sition is that, being overcome by sudden
sickness and bewildered by the darkness and
binding rain, in making his way to his
home, he stumbled into the terrible excaya-
ton and was drowned.
There is some excitement and many wild
rumors this afternoon, occasioned by the
belief entertained by some that the supposed
fact that certain unknown parties held
graveyard insurance on the old gentle
mans life indicates foul play but nothing
has been developed to strengthen this opin-
ion
Mr.. Burkhardt was native of Germany.
but had been a resident of Seymour for
twenty-five years. He was formerly engaged
in wagon-making, but retired from business
about ten years ago. He was a man of gem
erous impulses and genial manners, enjoy
ing the confidence and respect of all who
knew him, and, so far as we know, had not o
known enemy in the world He leaves q
wife and four children two by former mar
rage and the family has the sincerest sym

Interesting Game Between Sexton and

CHICAGO, March 30.-In the afternoon game
OF the balk-line tournament, Daily defeated
Wallace in a well-contested struggle. Both
were in good form, but DAILY, who was the
favorite, 100 to 60, was stronger in the gem
eral play. He ran 80 from the lay-off, and
took a commanding lead, which, however,
was reduced materially by Wallace in the
twentieth inning with run of 139 Daily
soon after raced away with 20, and Wallace

The meeting of Sexton and Dion for the

volved into a stubborn and interesting con-
test. The attendance was large, with a
larger number of ladies than on any
previous occasion. The animosity ex-
listing between the two men made
each one alert and aggressive in the
matter of claiming points and advantage,
and both were strung up to high tension.
1t was a fast and desperate race from
start to finish the score being tied
many times. The great event was Sections
run of 1856 in his fortieth inning, which
carried him within eleven points

average of half million of dollars in the

session of the last Legislature just brought to

scheming for the benefit of politicians at the

the excitement, than by bloodshed. The

blanched, and there was an instructive hip

Recipes.

CoRNMEAL MUFFINS.-Stir two cupfuls OF
cream or milk with the yolks of three we'll
beaten eggs. Sift together one cup of flour,
two cups of yellow Indian meal, two tea
spoonfuls OF baking powder teaspoonful of
salt, one tablespoonful of yellow sugar. Stir
And lastly the well-beaten whites. Pour in
wellbut:ered mutfinrings. Bake in we'll
heated oven, and serve as soon as baked.
RAIs1N PIE.-Raisin pie, which is preferred
by many people to grape pie, IS made OF one
cup of crackers, rolled very fine, one cup of
cold water; the juice and rind of one lemon,
one cup of raisins, stoned and chopped very
fine, and one heaping teacupful of sugar.
Beat these thoroughly together, and add one
egg the last thing. Bake with a thin upper
and under crust; rub the top crust with the
white of an egg or with a little milk with
sugar dissolved in it; bake in a moderate
oven, and brown the pie by setting it on the
shelf in the oven.
OMELET PLAIN.-Five eggs are enough to
use i'll medium-sized sauce pam Beat two
olks and whites separately, add two table,
spoons of new milk to the yoks, little salt,
stir together, have the pan very hot, put in a
lump of butter the size OF an egg. As soon
as melted pour the yolks into the pan and
then whites; toss the eggs carefully together
with silver fork, shake the pan until the
eggs begin to thicken leave the omelet two
or three minutes TO brown, then loosen The
edges with knife, fold over, then turn on a
hot platter. Serve Immediately.
Mock TURTLE SoUP.-Take part of calls
head, remove the brains, rinse the head in
several waters, and then let it soak in cold
water for an hour Prepare four quarts of
beef stock, put this in large soup-kettle,
put the head in, and let this cook slowly for
an hour and hall Then take out all the
meat from it and return bones and meat
both to the soup. Fry in butter till
brown large onion which you have sliced
very thin; add this to the soup, with some
pieces of carrot, turnip, parsley, if you
can obtain it, some celery. and any herbs,
such as sage or summer savory, if you like
them in soup. The secret of success in
making this is to cook 1t long enough, and it
should be cooked slowly. The scum should
be skinned off at an early stage in the prep
aration of the dish, and the soup must be
strained before it is served One authority
on this soup says that a lemon sliced and
added to it few minutes before removing
from the fire is an improvement. This soup
can be made in large quantity, as it keeps
we'll, and is thought by some cooks to be bet
ter the second or third day.
