Cumberland County satisfied.

FROM the Carlisle volunteer. .
However earnestly we may have desired
the collectorship of internal revenue to come
nearer Cumberland county, we are prevented
by the admirable appointment made, from
complaining against its going to Lancaster.
1t has fallen upon John T. MacGonigle, some
time ago mayor of the city of Lancaster.
We know him and can endorse him to
the fullest extent There is no better
Democratic blood in the state than that
which flows in his veins. And his brain is
az good as his blood. He is not merely
good and true Democrat, but a gentleman of
high intelligence, and one of fine administra-
tive abilityand very superior capacityfor bust
ness. His acquaintance with men is large and
his knowledge of public affairs extensive
and accurate. He is a politician far above
trickery, and a man OF honor in all the rela-
tions of life. He may be relied on to be care
full in the selection of his subordinates and
to conduct the whole business of his office in
n manner satisfactory to the public and to
the department at Washington. Other good
men aspired to the collectorship, and they
and their friends feel the regret that always
accompanies disappointed aspirations, but
with an appointment SO admirable in all re-
spects as that of Jobn Il. MacGonigle, there is
no room for complaint from any quarter.

white Buu.ards in Cecil County.

From the Oxford Press
As William Sterrett and Albert Riley,
young men of Cecil county, were recently
roaming over the hills of the Octoraro on the
estate of William Preston, they found buz-
Yards nest 1t was discovered on the ground
under the shelter of a largo shelving rock,
not far from Stephen Magraw's mill, and
contains two young white turkey buzzards.
The nest is constructed of a few sticks and
leaves and the young birds seem contented
In their home, surrounded by wild and
picturesque scenery. Since the discovery q
large number OF people have visited the
place and looked ut the birds. Only occa-
sionally is the nest Of this common American
species of vulture found by man. These
birds, remarkable for their graceful flight In
the higher regions of the air, as we'll as scav-
engers on the earth, usually build their nests
and rear their young in secluded and inac-
cessible places This tact has been demonstra-
ted by colony of them which have from time
to time made their Matching ground upon
large and dangerous rock-now called Buz-
Yards rock-not far from the Octoraro NJ. Il.

Bcts ON HIS speed, which Cause Quite
Dimcuity.
There has been considerable excitement
for the past four days among horsemen Of
this city about the speed Of a certain animal.
Joseph A.Ocker, is the name Of horscdealer
from LittlestowD, Adams county, who for
several years past has been bringing horses
to Lancaster to sell. On Monday afternoon
he had sale at the Merrimsc horse stables.
Among the horses put up was sorrcl which
Ocker guaranteed TO trot in 2:40. The animal
was finally withdrawn at $47t II is
about the ability Of this horse to make this
time that the discussion arose. Ocker says
that on Tuesday morning several gentlemen
approached him and said they were Mthor-
lied TO bet 500 that the horse could not make
as good time ms claimed. No money was
put up.
tlSome time later Ocker met kaufman
Deutsch and the latter said he would bet 500
that the horse could not make tho time.
Ocker said he would not give tho horse. a
record for that amount but would bet $780,
| Deutsch put up his check for that amount In
| the hands of Edward Kaufman, and
| as Ocker had but 500 he said he would
| put up the balance later In the afternoon
ocher gave Mr.. Kaufman s4oO more and
asked IL the other money was up II was
then found that Deutsch had taken his check
down and put up 500 in cash.
Ocker says that Deutsch afterwards agreed

| terday Deutsch went to Ocker and told him
that he (Ocker) had the best of him and he
would not put up the remainder of the
money, but would trot for the 500 or give
| him $50 and not have the horse trot IL this
would not do the money would have to go to
the poor. Ocker would not agree to this.
To-day was the time set for tho trial of the
horse, and quite a good crowd gathered at The

The Court hsfuses 10 Approve the Salary Of
the Prothonotsry's CLERK.
At the last meeting of the salary board to
fix the salary of Edward Bitner, tho prothon-
otary's clerk appointed to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation Of p. T.. Slay-
maker, the salaries of Deputies John b. Mil
Ter and WIN. f. Kreider, were made the
same, $3.50 each, while that of Mr.. Bltner
was Rxed at $3.50, the same as paid to the ju-
nior clerk in that Office when the salaries
were adjusted last January. The minutes
of the salary board were sent to the court for
approval, as required by the provisions of
the salary act, and day or two ago they
were sent back TO the clerk of the salary
board as disapproved. The court are Of opin-
ion that the prothonotary, by giving his en-
tire time and attention 10 the duties of the
Office and the two deputies are all that are re-
quired to properly perform the duties of the
Office, and that II the parliamentary does not
wish TO make a hand I'm the Office, he should
| pay the third clerk out of his salary.
The decision Of the court has caused
quite flutter among court house
| officials and efforts will be made TO have the
| court reconsider their disapproval of the
third clerk to be paid by the county. The
/ argument issued Is that the office has not
clerks and the work cannot be done with
less than three, because during a greater
| part of the year two common pleas courts ar,
| in session, which take two men from thu
Office and leaves only one to do the curren
| work.
The county commissioners have servet
| notice on the treasurer that the salary of
F.. Stoner, register of wills, Is not to be pal,
hereafter as he does not perform the duties q
the Office. They claim that he has not giveI
the Office the slightest personal attention
They hold that they have the power to re
convene the salary board anytime and Gu
down the clerical force II II is demonstrated
that too many clerks have been allowed. A
to the registers Office 1t is claimed that on
clerk is sufficient to do the work. 1t is ais
claimed that the county should not pay tn
deputy clerk of the quarter sessions salar
| of $1,000 that IL the county pays him So
or 5000, the clerk Mr.. Settley wno does ne
do any of the work should pay the balanc
out of his pocket
The county officers claim that IL never W;
the intention OF the trainers of the salary a.
that the county WAS to make money out
the offices and they will resist any atteml
to reduce salaries or cut down the. fore
: When the auditors meet on the first Monda
, of July, there will no doubt be lively session
| of the salary boards.
