A Splendid Showing

On the 1st of April. 1892, SIS ,4Os. SO
was placed in the hands of County Treasurer
Samuel G. Townshend, for collection; since
That time interest to the amount of $l,221 50
has accrued, making a grand total Of
$75.620 SO. Mr.. TowEshend has turaed in,
as y. ed, S73, l5s, leaving balance ct Oh
ly $2,472 81, which latter sum must be cred
tied by certain insolvencies which will virtu-
ally balance his account for the year 1892.
This is certainly splendid showing and re-
fleets credit upou the business energy of our
County Treasurer and his excellent Clerk,
Mr.. Sasscer. Mr.. Thomas E. Williams,
whose practical experience and close intimacy
with the finances of our county is as great as
any other man, speaks Of the above showing
as the best in his recollection.
This happy condition Of our county tinan-
ces has decided the County Commissioners to
pass an order to pay all levies made on March
9TH 1892, fol current expenses, on and af-
ter July II, next.-Cazette

A shuttle manufacturer in Massa-
chusetts has effected an improvement in
that mechanism which promises to be of
considerable practical value in the oper-
ations of woolen mills. In lieu of the
ordinary hinged spindle for receiving
and holding the bobbin of yarn, short
rigid spindle is employed in combination
with two holding jaws, one above and the
other below the head of the bobbin; the
latter they clasp and securely hold in
central position, single spiral spring
being arranged in the base of the shut
tie so as to exert an equal pressure on
the bobbin holding jaws, between which
it is placed. As a result of this unique
construction all splitting of the bobbins
arising from the use of the long pointed
hinged spindle is obviated, with conse-
quent saving of waste yarn. The trouble
from the breaking of this yarn by the
canting of the spindle point in the weav-
ing operation is also vercome.-New

and the balloon shot into the air with Leo
hanging from the trapeze at tine end of the
parachute. The south wind bore tbs
balloon, which did not rise more than
seventy feet from the ground, toward the
grove. 1t just cleared the tops of the
trees. But not so the parachute. With
Prince Leo dangling from the trapezs bar
1t dashed into the tree tops.
Many of thoss who witnessed It, fearful
that the daring young man would be
thrown to the ground, ran forward to
break his fall, If possible. The parachute
became entaugied in one of the trees. Lso
climbed from the mess of netting and
descended to the ground uninjured, when
he was warmly applauded.

Shortly bsfore 8 O'Clock last evening a
barn belonging to Charles johnson and To-
Gated on Main street, Westville, was totally
destroyed by fire, entailing loss Of about
$1,000, fully covered by insurance.
The barn was located near the mill of the
Pond Lily Paper company, and 1t was this
fact which gave rise to q report, which
gained considerable credence about the
center of the city, that the mill was aire.
The fire Was caused by the upsetring of
a lantern, by the light of which Johnson's
son Harry was engaged In milking the
cow. The lantern was overturned, setting
fire to some loose hay and this In turn to
the barn. The cow, horse and wagon
were got out In safety, but several tons of
hay and the barn were destroyed before
the arrival of the Westville FIRE depart

STEAMERS DISCONTINUED.

STEAMERS DISCONTINUED.
Have Boon Plying Between Kew
York and New Bedford for Forty
Years.
NEW BEDFORD, Sept. 1.-The freight
steamers plying for the past forty or Fifty
years between here and New York are to
be discontinued, owing, 1t is claimed, to
the leasing by another steamboat company
of their New York pier. which the Old
Colony company must vacate by Septem-
Der l.
It is said another pier has been secured
and will at once be fitted to receive freight,
when in about four weeks 1t is thought
business will be resumed.
Some here assert that this discontinu-
ance means an out and out freight service
to Fall River. Should the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad decide upon
such course, It would find q tide water
for another railroad corporation which
would undoubtedly select New Bedford a.
the objective point.
