THE rNvEsT1dAT1oN OF MIR. HERR1oK's TAX Ac-
COUNTS.
The committee appointed to investigate
Mr.. Herrick's tax accounts have been at work
upon their examination the past week and
have prepared tabulRted statement of the
state taxes from 1868 to 1874 which is in
type, and up to q late hour this morning,
was supposed TO cover the whole ground.
This statement was agreed 10 and signed by
all the committee Later examination, how
ever has shown that the statement prepared
was not complete, and It was impossible to
finish IL for publication this week. The facts
az shown by the statement are az follows
The total deficiency in favor of Mr. Herrick
in the 10 years alluded to appear to be $4299-
o. The deficienoiog which appear in his
favor in town auditors reports on account Of
excess on state tax for the same period
amount to 1880. 49-showing total of de-
fcencies in the collectors favor of 1858. 81.
From this sum should be deducted state aud
itors orders in allowance for errors amount
ing to $i522. 8S, and for three years services
as collector in 1868, 1864, and 1865, 1884 GS,
making total of $54075G. Deducting this
from 5000. 81, the total of Deficiencies there
is shown to be a deficiency Of $282.01 in Mr..
Herricks favor as collector. These, as we
have said, are the main facts as they appear
in the statement. The committee regret that
it was impossible to fully complete their
statement for publication this week, but it
undoubtedly will appear in detail next week.
MILES sTAND1sH SPEAKS FOR HIMSELF ABOUT A
MATTER OF EARLY COLONIAL HISTORY.
Mr.. Editor Il notice in last weeks De-
famer that the boy makes @. f. Thompson to
say in town meeting that he had investigated
Herrick's tax accounts as far back as 1866,
and says there was a row about them in town
meeting at that time. Now 1 cannot say
whether this report is correct or not. Per-
haps some Of the older inhabitants can throw
some light on the subject l remember that
in 1859 few Quakers came over and joined
the Massachusetts colony and were immedi-
ately banished on account of their religious
preferences and threatened with death if
they returned. or course their taxes were
abated for that year, but the honest Friends
not believing that the colonists really meant
what they said, returned the following year
and were put to death and it was reported
at the time that on their return Herrick col.
lected those abated taxes and murdered the
Quakers for the purpose of pocketing the
money, but the Defamer failing to furnish
any positive evidence the matter was allowed
to drop but not until last week have seen
any record of Herricks crookedness antedat-
ing the landing of the Pilgrims.

A Waterspout OFF the English Coast.

l was at Southwold on Sunday and
witnessed with the greatest interest the
formation and decline of the huge
waterspout off the coast. The water
spout was not the only curious phe-
nomcnon of the day., for the eccentric
behavior of both clouds and wind had
engaged u attention for at least an
hour before the waterspout formed. In
front OF dark masses of cloud that
moved slowly seward were several
light. vaporous cloudlets. that seemed
to detach themselves from these masses,
and then careered across the sky. now
in one direction, now in another, fire.
quently crossing each other with en-
t~raordinary rapidity. All this time the
wind on shore was no more settled than
the sky. The general current of the
clouds, however, was seward. The
black masses gradually passed from
over the land and became united.
showing q clearly-defined edge some
distance above the horizon. From this
edge a thin st eak Of cloud like = black
rocket suddenly descended obliquely
and struck he sea four Or five miles
from the shore. For the first few min
utes the line thus formed swayed from
side to side with the currents of wind.
1t then became too massive to be thus
affected, and appeared q gigantic pillar
of water standing perpendicu1arly be-
tween sea and sky. The force WITH
which the volume Of water fell into the
sea must have been terrific, since the
foam and spray around the base of the
pillar extended toa considerable heioht.
AS the dense black clouds bore further
seaward the capital OF this waterv col.
umn, in shape like the base of a con-
vcrted cone, could be traced against
the darker background. Gradually
the column diminished in size
until only thin line re-
manned. which, sevcring at the sea end
blew about for a minute or two. when
it short ned and ut last disappeared.

time; but a schooner that passed d.
