A BILL entitled "An Act to Reg
ulate the fees and Emolumcnts of
Certain Officers in this State and
Requiring an Account of the same
is pending before the Legislature, by
which it is proposed to fix the sal
aries of Sheriils, Clerks and Assess
ors according to the population of
the counties. In counties with a
population of 10000 or less the
SheriiTs and Clerks are to receive
$1,000 per annum, and deputies
$500: Assessors, $500. This whole
sale reform is not likely to be re-
ceived with acclamations of Joy by
the present incumbents, however it
may be regarded by those who may
hereafter aspire to those responsible
positions. The worknen are worthy
Of their hire, and we doubt the Wis
dom of cutting down the wages of

advocating this amendment Messrs
Hepburn aud Reid declared that tie
works on the Mississippi river were
experimental and should be confined
to the two reaches specified. Mr..
Thomas emphatically denied that
the work was an experimental one,
and called attention to the fact that
at Plum Point reach work had Sc
cured a depth of fifteen feet, where
formerly the water had been but
five feet deep. The amendment
was adopted--l3l to 81.
Mr.. Thomas ought to be com
PEELED to pilot a fiat boat down the
river during low water, in order to
post himself up.l
On motion of Mr.. Hepburn an
amendment was adopted directing
the Secretary Of War to withhold
such portion Of the contract price as
will pay all sums due for labor per-
formed ON improvement until it is
satisfactorily shown that all laborers
are fully paid.

,ion authorizing the Secretary Of

East Montpelier. - Mrs. Theo Clark,
mentioned last week as being very low.
died Sunday. Last Thursday she submitted
to a surgical operation, by which tumor
weighing nearly eight pounds was removed.
The operation was performed by surgeon
from Boston, who brought nurse with him.
He pronounced the case a hopeless one
from the first Although Mrs. Clark had
unusual faith and courage, nature gave out
at last and she is at rest. As Miss Clara
Giddings, she was widely known and well
beloved. A woman of many estimable
qualities, she will be missed and mourned
far beyond her immediate home circle.
- Mrs. Joel Ormsbee is recovering
from lung fever. Hiram Templeton
has been on the sick list nearly two weeks.
- Miss Polly Burno is in poor health,
and will stop with relatives here until her
health improves. - James Pierce has
purchased the John Gould farm, situated in
the Horn-of-the-Moon district, and takes
possession this week. - Owing to the
all-day sing and concert at Marshtield, this
week, Mr.. Dudley will not meet his class at
the Center until Saturday evening -
The largest crowd and jolliest time ever
witnesse in the Center school-house came
off last Friday, at the close of ten weeks
term of school taught by Miss lnez G.. Orms-
bee. Hattie Foster, miss only eleven years
of age, presided at the organ with an ease
and ability that would have done honor to
an older musician. One of her little songs,
which was illustrated in pantomime by
Henry and Mamie Foster, was heartily en-
cored and listened to a second time with in
creased interest A novel feature of the en-
tertainment was an original debate, in
which the weight of argument was decided
to be in the affirmative, on the question,
Resolved, That ignorance is bliss The
disputants We're all under sixteen years
of age. The argument of Wallace Goodwin
in the affirmative was especially convincing.
A dialogue in rhyme, entitled when was
Young" was given by Misses Belle Hersey
and Helen Goodwin Miss Helen, in the
character of Aunt Prudence, was richly
dressed in Eye ancient costume" and the
piece was very finely rendered. Miss Myrtle
Ormsbee had been i'll and not able to be in
school at all last week till the last day,
when she read an amusing sketch upon
Some of the Trials that come from Being
Woman" 1t was among the best things on
the programme and so well read as TO elicit
much praise. Burt Hersey showed consid-
erable of the embryo orator in the way he
gave rhyming account of " An Auction
Extraordinary" Bnt it is unfair TO mention
individual excellencies where all acquitted
themselves so creditably. The parents may
well congratulate themselves upon having
had their children under good elocutionist
and excellent teacher during the winter
term.

All the saloons are closed upin Beaver
on account of "lack of business" The
reason of this slackness is simple. There
is doubtless plenty of liquor sold in our
town, but by those who are not licensed
specially to that business and consequent
ly they can undersell those who were
and the latter must succumb to the pres
sure. Thus those who drink get all the
liquor they want, but the city gets no
profit, not even from the DRINKS for they
are allowed TO go on their way rejoicing
unmolested, if they make no special out
break. -Beauer Utonian.

The Boom at OsceOIa

Osceola is having boom. Those who
have been working quartz lodges have
had their rock crushed at the mill with
satisfactory results. Tilford and Axle
realized quite sum as the result OF their
clean-ups. | was unable to learn the
average OF Tilford's ore but Akie's went
SO ton and he showed me 116 ounces
OF amalgam. A number of parties are
working in Dry Gulch with rockers and
are making good wages. The Osceola
Gravel Mining Company is doing as we'll
as it can with an anticipated summer
shortage of the water supply. There is
no doubt now but that the camp will soon
come to the front in good shape, as there
are plenty OF good paying lodges that
need only capital and energy to develop
them. There is company being formed
to open 4 tunnel at the head of Dry
Gulch to see if the mother lode cannot be
found there seems to be no douot but
that this is the source whence all the
gold came. All claim owners are at work
and seem satisfied, so l Judge that thew
are doing profitable work.-.Southern

OLIVER PLACED UNDER BONDS.
He Says Ii LIS "a Put-Up Job, and
That His Wife Beat Him-Mrs.
oliver Sues for Divorce.

The case OF Richard Oliver, placed I'M
der bonds last Saturday to appear before
Commissioner Mckay yesterday to an
Swer to 4 charge OF assault on Mr. Miles
Mix, a guard at the Penitentiary, and
threatening the life of Mrs. Mix, came I'D
yesterday afternoon. Prosecuting Attor-
ney Varian was unable to conduct the
examination OF witnesses, being engaged
in the Schafer habeas corpus case before
Judge Zane, until half-past o'clock.
MILES MIX
Was called and sworn. He testified TO
substantially the same facts as published
in Saturday nights DEMOCRAT. On Fri
day evening his wife had fred two pistol
shots from their house near the prison.
which attracted his attention, and think
ing something wrong existing at the
house he started for there ACCOMPANIED
by fellow guard, w. V. Parker At the
house he saw Mr.. Oliver holding horse
near the stable. Mrs. Mix said Oliver
had insulted her, when he yelled out
That's lie J" Witness asked Oliver
what he meant by such talk, when the
teLupestuous spirit GRABBED up pitch
fork and rushing for him, SAID:
CD On YOU, I'LL FIX YOU TOO"
He thrust the tines OF the fork to stab
witness in the abdomen, but Mix partially
warded off the blow, which struck his
thigh, one OF the prongs passing through
the limb. During the tussle which en-
sued Oliver acted terribly enraged and
tried his utmost to bite witness in the
face. Mr. Parker, fellow-guard, came to
the + ,scue and separated them. AS quick
as flash Oliver made for the pitchfork
q second time, when Mix luckily caught
sight OF his man9uvres and struck him
back OF the head with a revolver and
FELLED HIM TO THE GROUND.
This was the first difficulty the two men |
had been engaged in. Oliver was taken |
to the penitentiary and confined for the |
night.
William V. Parker. the fellow guard /
with Mix, was sworn, and testified to the I
same line of facts as that of Mr.. Mix.
MRS. MIX
Related what occurred between her and
Oliver before she fred the two shots and
,alled her husbands aid. She said
