The penitentiary deposit according 10 the books Of the state auditor is SSo30017. the largest sum ever to the credit of the penitentiary since any record has been kept of the amount of money on this one fund. Two months ago the fund reached S50000 and it was declared hy state officials then that the penitentiary management had far exceeded even the fondest hopes of those who be lieyed in the present method of handl- ing the penitentiary. The present de posit is s3o,0o0 larger still Members of the Penitehtiary Board and Super intendent J. A.

MILTON NEWS.

However loathe we may be to
acknowledge it, we must admit all
the fools are not democrats, neither
are all the cranks in the State Leg
islature. Many Of the citizens of
Milton are afflicted with liblioma-
mia, and are searching for all the
dusty tones they hear of to prove
the blessed doctrine of their present
cultus. DR.. Clarke Spanheim and
DR.. Hudson are being read with
aviditv and the tomelets, of what
ever age, that can be found on the
library shelves, or in the musty
closets of forgotten years, are
brought forward to substantiate,
and prove the truth Of the old, re-
vived cultus One man saida few
DAYS since, in substance: He here
tofore thought Holiness impossible
TO attain in this life; he now thought
it as easy to be holy. as otherwise.
While listening to this cant our
mind reverted to Burns, who, on a
certain occasion wrote:
30, wad some power the giftie gle us,
To see ourselves as others see us"
A wave of emotionalism, of the
present bond, strikes the commun-
ity periodically, and if all do not
subscribe to the doctrine then pro-
mulgated, those dissenting are
branded as hereties, or called by
other opprobious names. This en-
genders a spirit of resentment and
leads to a line Of demarcation
which is, only, too willingly drawn
by some aggressive spirit on either
sides. To differentiate between
the two factions, s,-and, probably a
third, or more-would be easy, by
cool heads, but where did one ever
see a religious fanatic with a cool
head, ora hereto with we'll poised
equilibrium But this will soon
pass away. The bibliomaniacs "
will regain their reason and the
" heretics will see the folly of
their ways when the equipoise of
society will become normal.
We did not care to write any
thing Of this matter which has to a
certain extent, choked the wheels
of social intercourse, but our obli-
CATION to our readers compels us to
do SO. The education of our youth
in early manhood taught us to
severe the ways Of religion, and,
to breathe the name Of the Holy
Trinity with silent awe. But in
these days we hear the Holy Ghost
