 The miscellaneous account was swell ed last year by alnshouse expenditures. The outside poor account has been reduced every month. The almshouse account was very high in January owing to the pur- chase of coal. The amount spent for bridges is practically all that will be spent in that department this year. The road expenses were increased by the purchase of cattle and a new road machine It will be seen that the expense of running near ly every department for which expendi- lures are regulated by the selectmea has been reduced. Leaving out the $l0,OOO loan the saving has been over $6 ,OOO for the three months.

 THEY talk about women not knowing how to get off moving car," said a Traction company conductor yesterday, but my experience has sdown that the men are as ignorant of the natural laws as the women. The rule of the company forbids passengers from getting off whi Ie the car is in motion, but it is disregarded |" Just then dapper young fellow motioned to the conductor that he wanted to get off and the bell was rung. While the car wes in motion he stepped off, almost tumbling on his head. ''What did I tell you." id the conductor. "Instead of throwing his weight back when alighting he leaned forward and when he struck the round the momentum almost made him turn a somersault"

THADDEUS II. STANTON. called the fight ing paymastCr" because of his usual de- sire to carry his cash to the front and see whatever fighting Is going on. Gen eral Stanton was born i'll 1885, and ran away from school to join John Brown S party in Kansas. He engaged i'll nearly all the conflicts between the free soil and proSlaverv factions, and in 1860 went to Washington, where he embarked in the newspaper business. When tho war began, he enlisted as a private in the District of Columbia volunteers, and later organized and became captain of an Iowa company, and participated in the campaigns of the army of tho fron- tier. He became an army paymaStcr in 1862, and served throughout the war in that capacity.
 Upon the fall of Richmond he took $50O, 900 to the city to pay the soldiers. and while stopping at n hotel several men who were after tho government s money attempted to enter his room in the night. He shot one of them dead, and the OtEer9 took 10 their heels. He remained in Richmond until 1870 as chief payma>tcr of the department, with the brcvet rank of lieutenant colonel. He also had charge of the collection uf the states taxes and the payment of its expenses during the reconstruction peri od. He Was with General Crook during the Black Hills expedition ill IS1j, and the following year Was Crook chief of scouts as well aS paymaStPT He was with General Merritt when that worthy cut off q band of hostile Cheycnnes on their way to join Sitting Bull and participated ill several battles with the great Sioux chief < band. Wherever the soldiers went the fighting paymaster" was with them, giving them their pay promptly and doing just as much actual fighting as any man ill the field.
 General Stanton carries his 50 years lightly and is an excellent type of the sturdy, active, grizzled veteran. He is very popular in a profession famous for its jcalOusies. and General Crook once said of him, His entire army life has been period of unSelish, untiring, in telhgent and ofttimes heroic performance of duty"

KELLY, the baker, is about town to. day trying to find out who owns the seats that were on the green last year. He said if they are not going to be used for the &C., commodation of the people he will buy them and set them out at his summer resi- dence at Quassapaug The baker grew eloquent as he pointed to group of work ing men standing in the shade, at the corner of Dexter's drug store, and pro- nounce1 it rank injustice to these men to think that there was no place for them to sit down and talk over their woes and miseries. adding that the saddest spectacle one could contemplate was that of an able bodied man, with a family looking to him for support, parading the streets in search of employment. He said the seats were bought out of the peoples money and were inteL ded to be used for the accommo- dation C; all who desired to use them as a resting place, and notwithstanding this few men possessing the tlmerity to ignore the will of the people, had refused to allow them to be used for the purpose for which they were intended. He also take d about the condition of the drinking foun- tain. and thought some one should get after the authorities with a stout stick.
