THE public debt statements shows the reduction during June to be $8, 993, 993 according to the previous form of book keeping, and $9, 156. .86l according to the present style of bookkeeping. Queer that figures can be made to read so many ways. Both systems cannot be right, so that one of these sets of figures must lie, to the total demolition of one of our most ancient and honored adages.

The woman is no doubt sane enough except so far as she, llkeeyerybody else, is fired with indignation at the cold -blooded villiany advocated Tn Rossa's paper.

 THE new adjustment of post office sal aries in Connecticut generally makes re- ductions based on reduced receipts because of rednced postage. Stafford Springs falls from $500 to$13OO; Rockville, from $1aO0 to s17OO; Willimantio, from $2100 to$2OO0; Putnam, $17OO to $160O; New London, $26OO to $25O0; Norwich remains at $27OO ]; South Manchester at $500; Danielsonville at $160O; Windsor Locks, at $1400 Thomp soI1yille reduced $14OO to $500 ; Hartford at ,S34OO, the largest salary received in the state, New Haven being reduced from $3400 to $500. The falling off it is mo- ticed, is in manufacturing villages, and is no doubt accounted for by depression of business, rather than by reduced postage.
