While rummaging in old papers the
other day, Gen. George w. Jones, OF
Dubuque, Iowa, came across his appli-
cation made to Postmaster. General
Randall, June 10, 1886, for postal
route from "St. Louis to Dubuque, in
the territory of Missouri" 1t was
sent to Washington few days after
the postmaster general had named Il
steamboat to carry the mail down the
Ohio river from Pittsburgh and Louis
vile to st. Louis ut an expense of
$4,000 yearly. Gen. Jones wrote:
lowing to the break up in the spring
mail matter is sometimes six months
in transit from the east to Illinois.
Wisconsin, and Missouri, and, being
carried on horseback and in open
stage wagons, much of it is lost and
the remainder so badly worn as to
make the address on the letters and
newspapers almostillegible. A steam
boat could be secured at an expense
of 81, 600 per season to carry the mail
from st. Louis to Dubuque. Should
at any time the Rock Island and Keo-
kuk rapids be so low that they could
not be navigated deduction from the
boat-owner's compensation could be
made with which to pay the carrier on
horseback. | recommend that you
adopt the experiment. Give us a
weekly mail for season ut least"
The generals request was granted.
and the experiment has since been
continued with the addition of mail
trains.

Short in His Accounts.

A Lansford despatch of the 31st ult.,
says; E. w. Moister, secretary of the
Lansford Building and Loan Associa-
ton, is short in his accounts over 81, 500.
The association has been running since
1880 i year ago, when the books
were audited, he was $500 short, but
the Treasurer, f. X. Cannon, gave him
a check to cover the deficiency Last
June the annual audit revealed that he
was again S1,741.36 short, and Cannon
again came to his rescue. Moister prom
ised TO make 1t up, but has failed and
rendered his resignation. 1t was de-
clined by the board until an examination
of the books is made. His bondsmen
will be asked TO make up the amount. II
is said he used and lost the money in
the store business at Shenandoah, where
he was burned out in the great fire.
4 later despatch says: L. w. Moister,
the defaulting secretary of the saving
fund, has made a statement confessing
his guilt and exculpating the officers OF
the association. f. Y. Cannon, the
treasurer, gave Moister receipts for the
amount of his shortage, which were to
have been destroyed and no entry made
of them, while they temporarily covered
UP the deficiencies. These MoisteI
acknowledged he filled and entered Of
record and therefore Cannon stands
charged with the $4,000 which Moistel
misappropriated. Moister has been given
two weeks to settle.

Put the Fanlt WHARF il Relnngs.


During the past two weeks considera-
hle feeling has generated among por-
tion of our citizens in relation to the
communication which appeared in these
columns relative to charge of miscon-
duct among the primary teachers of our
schools. Upon thorough investlga-
tion of the matter we find that there
was a laXity of discipline, not only in
the primary department, but in the
high school department, whence all the
trouble emanated. In a nutshell-the
high school boys got into the habit of
running through the primary depart
ments, TO the annoyance of teachers and
scholars. This the principal should
have stopped, or failing to do so, he
should have reported the matter to the
Board for their action. This would
have enced the matter. But neglect to
do so, has had the effect to call forth
censure on class of teachers for acts
which, perhaps, they were powerless to
combat. "Charity covereth multitude
of SINS" The blame for a want of dis
cipline in our schools should be placed
just where it belongs-on the principal
if he failed in authority and did not re-
port it-on the school board if it was re-
ported to them and not acted upon.

Driven to Suicide.

On Friday last the coroner investi-
gated the death of Mrs. Antoinette
Bastid, the wife of John Bastid, loom
lixer in the Adelaide Silk Mill, Allen
town. The Bastids had not lived
happily for some time, the husband
cruelty beating their only child, a son
six years old; when the mother inter-
ferred the husbands fury was directed
upon her. Wednesday evening of last
week, Bastid again beat the BOY, using a
piece of heavy rope. The mother inter-
ferred to save him and was badly beaten
herself. She brooded oyer her misery
until the following morning; when she
sent her child and neighbor's wife for
arsenic, saying she wished TO have II 10
kill rats. The boy got the poison and in
theafternoon she took a portion of it. She
suffered intensely and Ia the evening
told a neighbor what she had done.
Medical aid was summoned, but by ten
o'clock she was dead The evidence
was conflicting and the jury rendered a
verdict OF suicide by poison. The
Bastids are French and have been In
Allentown several months. They had
few associates and little is known OF
thoir antscedents.

Died al a Revival Meotirg.

Rev. Mr.. Hartzell, pastor of the Re
formed Church at Leithsville, Lehigh
county, has been conducting revival
meetings in the house of farmer named
Mitchell, below Centre Valley, for
several evenings past. On the evening
of the Goth ult., the usual meeting was
held and large number of people were
present. A short time before the hour
for closing the services the clergyman
asked II there was anyone in the SsseInb-
ly who felt that he or she was not yet
converted. A veterinary surgeon named
Hartline arose from his seat and said
he was not quite converted. Rev. Mr..
Hartsell said they would begin anew.
Hartline started for the front and after
taking several steps forward sank to the
floor. Before medical aid could be
SUMMONED he died. The sudden death
of the man caused great CONSERVATION

EDITOR ADVOCATE; The bug bear OF
"third term" is very inflated thing
with some people. The hue and cry
against the "thiFd term" in merely
clerical or county position is the veyicst
bosh and nonsense. To relegate & man
out of office, after he has become fitted
and fully qualified in his position ,simply
on the ground that he has had two terms
is uusound and detrimental to the inter
est Of the people. In an office or position
in which man has eyer attained sny
mark or distinction as a servant Of the
people he was retained by them for an
indefinite time, Take for instance some
men near at home, In this county long
continuance in office has more or less
been the practice. There is Hon. Robt.
Klotz he was representative, twice
County Treasurer and twice a member
of Congress. Allen Craig was en- official
for more than two terms. Likewise was
A. G. Bradhead. The most notable iu-
stance of more than two terms in office
is that of J. II. Siewers and &. Nimson,
these men were reelected time and again
and the result was that the people were
better served than they would have been
if the one or two term idea had
been in vogue. Hon. John b. Storm our
present representative in Congress is
now serving his fourth term. Nobody
will dispute that he is the more qualified
to perform the duties of his office than
he would be if he had only been elected
for one or two terms. So long as the
principle of efficiency in Office is main
tained or adhered to no one who has the
welfare Of the county at heart has cause
to complain.
The politicians are opposed to re.elec-
tions but the people believe in business
principles, in public Office, and are as a
consequence opposed to the politicians
"idea." A TAXPAYER.
