Pardoned by the Governor.

The Governor yesterday pardoned Henry Ref,
who is serving life sentence in the Jefferson
vile prison for having killed John Smith, in
Dearborn county, over twelve years ago. The
killing according to the verdict of the coroner,
was involuntary. Smith had been annoying
Ref, and had bought Ratchet with which he
declared it was his intention to kill Ref The
latter struck him, and the blow resulted in his
death. The confinement Of twelve years. the
Governor thinks. has been sufficient punishment
for the crime. At the time of Refs trial there
was much excitement in Dearborn county over a
number of murders which had been comm tilted
there, and desire for severe punishment of
such crimes caused the sentence to be made
much heavier than it is believed it otherwise
would have been. The pardon is granted upon
the condition that Ref will refrain from the use
of intoxicants. and will not engage, directly or
indirectly in the sale of liquors.

TREASURER MILLER'S POSITION.
The City Authorities Will Call on the Courts
to Decide the Question Of Their Money.

The position assumed by County Treasurer
Miller, in his capacity as treasurer of tho city,
is not so clear to the municipal authorities that
they will concede the legality of his claim without
having the courts pass upon the question. They
declare there is no direct law for him to hold the
city's moneys. collected by him, until the appor
tionment Eis made on the third Monday , in
April, but, the contrary, there is specific and
explicit law directing him, as it did the old city
treasurer, how to proceed in monthly reports to
Council. Appropriations are made by Council
on the first Monday of every month. and it is
between the 10th and 10th thereof that orders
can be drawn ON the city, after the Board of Al
dernen has acted upon the sums
appropriated The January appropriations will
be met, as the county treasurer will have sufi-
Gent money turned over 90 him by the retiring
city treasurer to do this. In February however,
it is expected the usual appropriations will be
made, and that the county treasurer will refuse
to honor the usual orders. Out of this will como
the test case, as Mayor Denny says he will do as
his predecessor has done, sign ali approved war
rants so long as there is money in the treasury
to meet them.

The Old Years Book.

Now close the book and lay it away
The Old Years Book we have read it through
Leaf after leaf. and day after day,
We have turned the pages, both I and you.
What it has told us full well we know;
Each for himself the story has read;
A bitter tragedy fun of woe
Alas they found it who mourn their dead.
And some have read of trial and pain,
Of weary burdens so hard to bear;
VI bright hopes crushed again and again,
Turning its pages in blank despair.
"a pleasant story" others may say,
Telling us more of joy than of pain;
Almost sadly we lay it away
Would we might open and read it again!"
And some have read it with loves own eyes,
By the light that love alone can give.
While the pages glowed with loves surprise,
And life were joy, and 'twere joy to live
But close the book-the story is old;
Lay it away with smile or tear;l
Written in black, or written IN gold,i
We open the book of another year.

Do not attempt to eat salads and Xbonbons at
every house unless there is a sufficient quantity
OF beverages to wash them down

was candy-in all, over two hundred packages
were made up. Then two express wagons were
hired and went over the city. north, south, east.
