Mr. BittPiibender, formerly of the Osceola liecord called to see us last week on his way home from the northern part of the state. The wheat crop of Boone Co., and iudeed of most of the newer counties of the State, is said to excel that of the older portions. Farmers, bring your poultry, butter and eggs to Lamb's near the po$t-onic- e, and get the highest mar- ket price in cash for them.

Shillito of Stearns Prairie leaves with us the finest lot of new potatoes we have seen worthy to go with Murdock's tall corn.

Tillman and Mr. Mont- gomery, telegraph operator at David cijy, were in town Thursday night last, and gave the Jo'ukn'al a very pleasant call. The Lincoln Journal is preach- ing tire gospel of bogs aud corn for the material salvation of Nebraska farmers, and it is making a good many converts. Judge Geer was in Kearney co. last week on legal business return- ing home Wednesday. He praises that country very highly, and says the crops are good. We are informed that gambling has begun again in Columbus. It would seem as though there had been experience enough in that line to answer for the next century. Gus. Krauze started for the east Monday. It has been a rule with us, (not without exception, howev- er), never to announce a weddinir before it takes place, and we don't do so now. Conductor Owen, who returned last week from a trip into southern Illinois and Indiana, says that there will be about one-four- th the crop thirc as here the country is Buffe- ring for rain. The Messrs. Murdock and J. II. Watts begin work to-da- y on the Monroe Congregational Church. E. B.

Further mention will be made when the ar- rangements are completed. Fred. Matthowb had a kick from "Black Knight" last week, which knocked the breath out of him for a little while, aud came near injuring him very seriously. He is all right again, and is very thankful. The rush fotlhe shj&tirnt of stock is so great th&Jthe Union Pa- cific company is sending out stock cars empty along the linn in order to make time. Usually these cars are sent out from Omaha loaded. Our correspondent, who has been discussing city matters, chal- lenges those who have been trying to make personal thrusts, to come out over their own signatures, and discuss the merits of the question. George Wise of Canton, III., brother to John Wise, Chairman of the Board of Co. Commissioners and brother-in-la- w to T. J. Ellis, spent several days last week among his friends here, leaving for Council Bluffs Monday. Every account is that the flax crop of Nebraska will be, this year, as it nearly always is, a first-rat- e one. Farmers find the crop a paying one, although they have no market for the straw. If we had that, it would pay richly. L. J. Cramer will attend the Institute at Schuyler a few days next week, after which he will spend a few days at the Hamilton County Institute at Aurora.

It is hoped that she will be benefited by a light- er atmosphere. Her many friends will wish her a safe return home, and a speedy recovery of her health. Robt. Clark was called to Fort McPhorson last week to take charge of the telegraph office there in the absence of the regular operator. For one who has picked up the art out- side of his legitimate business, Rob- ert is certainly "old lightning" on a wire. The walls of Wildey Lodge, T. O. O. F., this city, are adorned with a fine, large, neatly framed picture of Phil. B. Bonesteel, pre sented to the lodge by Mrs. Kittio L. Bonesteel. Mr. Bonesteel was the Noble Grand of this lodge, at the time of bis death. Mrs. J. O. Tasker, who was bit on the hand by a rattlesnake in June, has felt no serious effects from it. The wound was bathed in carbolic acid. Bicarbonate of soda (common baking Boda) saturated with vinegar is said to be an excel! ont remedy by those who have tried it. David City, Arcade aud Bell- - wood are reaping a harvest of busi- ness from our south-sid- e friends in Butler aud Polk, who have not been able to reach Columbus readily, since the flood carried away our bridges. It is to bo hoped that this state of affairs will not long continue. The committee on Platte bridge report that the situation is a great deal more favorable than the had supposed before examining. Not a pier is gone all are standing, just as they did before the flood, and there will be no trouble to make the crossing in a short time, by re- building the super-structur- e. Mr. McVicker says that the Fall is the best time to plant box-elde- rs and ash, aud that all trees set out should invariably he mulched, and mulched all the time. It has become common thing in Nebraska to plant trees just as yon would corn, aud cultivate them the same, for two seasons, after which they can take care of themselves. Mr. and Mrs. Mcrritt of Nor- folk passed cast through Columbus, Monday. The lady has been long- ing to go to her old home in the cast, and could not get the consent of her husband, and ou Saturday last, while walking with a young lady she suddenly started for the river, throwing herself in, and float- ing down. She was rescued, how ever, and now makes her trip. - Charles Segelke's team took fright one morning last week aud started on a run down 11th street. Charles jumped into the wagon from behind, caught hold of the lines aud brought his team to the "right about" before they had run a block. But Charles and every other man should make his team secure, then, if they jcare at falling boxes or anything else, they will not be so apt to get away. Albert Stenger has cut, with a self-binde- r, 130 acres of grain. If the men who bowed their backs reaping with the old sickle, could arise now from their slumbers, and look upon the way their grand-childre- n harvest their grain, they would feel like acknowledging that they had lived in an inferior age, so far at least as labor-.avin- g ma chinery was concerned. What will our grand children have to say of us? "Wc like to 6ee an editor feel happy, and here is one, evidently the Madison Chronicle man, and the occasion of Iuh hilarity, let him tell it himself: "If you want to see the boas calf of the county call at ye editor's stable and j'ou can be grat- ified. When it was twenty-fou- r hours old it weighed V2 pounds and we were offered a ten-doll- ar bill for the same. It will be two weeks old and there isn't a calf in the county, of the same age that will come up to it in size or weight." The best butter in the New York market goes from Iowa, so wo see it stated in sonie of our exchanges. We are assured that first-cla- ss Ne- braska butler ranks just as high as Iowa. Their's is an older settled state, and doubtless the facilities for handling butter, the stables, the milk houses, &., are, on the average, bet- ter than those of Nebraska, but our folks are learning fast, and nothing will bring them to the front quicker than to know that the gilt-edge- d butter made by the Nebraskana who mean business, brings twenty cents a pound the year round. This price ought certainly to beau inducement for the men of Nebraska to go to work and provide the best of milk houses and other facilities for mak- ing good butter. The Omaha Republican of Sat- urday contained a detailed account of a horrible accident which hap-pene- d at North Bend last Friday evening, to Mrs. Williams. She ran up behind a train standing at the depot, and called to a gentleman in the caboose, with whom she had business, and before he had time to get to her the train moving back- wards had struck her, knocking her down with her neck over a rail, and two cars pasped before the train could be stopped. Her head was completely Revered from her body, and, strange to say, she received not a bruise, or a scratch any where else, upon her head or body. She was an excitable woman, and a man by the name of Robinson had just played upon her the scoundrelly trick of selling her a piece of land that lie had already sold to another, receiving pay from both, which fact probably so occupied her mind that she was unconscious of where she was standing, intent only upon con ferring with a man who purposed aidiug her in securing the arrest ot the scoundrel who had defrauded her. - InvaMlon of the ICiglilx of an American Citizen lij- - OIH- - ccm ia 4acriiiaiiy. Several weeks since Mr. Arnold Ochlrich of the firm of Oohlrich Bros, of this place went to visit the home of his mother at Elmshorn, Holsteiu, Germany. He had been there about, thirty days, when one morning, before he was yet out ol bed, two policemen made their ap- - pearauce, put him under arrest and took him betore a police judge, who said that ho must go to the fort for a year, work at hard labor for a year, or pay a fine of 200 marks, about $50. Mr. Oehlrich paid the 200 marks, and asked the Judge if that was all he wanted from him. On his saying that it was, Mr. O. said that now ho would sec the American Consul at Hamburg about the matter. Alter he had started for home the Judge sent his marshal to request him to call at his otlice before going to Hamburg. On returning, the Judge iuquired concerning his pass- port, and was informed that Mr. O. was an American citizen. He went to Hamburg and returned in a few weeks. Tho day following his re- turn, the Judge tried to get his papers from him, and was determin- ed lo send him into the array, but Mr. Oehlrich told them to keep their hands oti him, and he left ou the 1st of July. We sHppoee that rather than waste his time prosecuting for false im- prisonment, Mr. Oehlrich will make his way to America at the earliest opportunity, but it roust be very annoying for an American citizen (as much so as any of us, although not boru here), to be treated thus, and Secretary Blaine should make it so Jively for these swindlers that they will never dare undertake their game again. FrnHoiHCjm 3 1 oh meter 3. On Sunday, the 7lh of August, the festival "Portiuncula" will solemnly be celebrated in the Church of tho Franciscan Fathers. The faithful, after worthily receiving the Sacra- ments of Penance and the Holy Eu- charist, can gain a plenary indul- gence as often as they visit said church and say 9ome prayers ac- cording to the intention of the Su- preme Pontiff. Masses will be said at 0, 7, and 8 o'clock. At 10 o'clock there will be Solemn Highmass with sermons in English and German. In the afternoon at 3 o'clock Solemn Vespers and Benediction. - City EteniM. One of the members of the City Council tells us that a Journal cor- respondent, in treating of city mat- ters, should remember that the city debt is less than $4,000; that war- rants are worth from 80 to 90 cts. on the dollar; that the publication of tho ordinances in pamphlet form, can not coat the city $200 all tho print- ing for the year, including every item for publication of ordinances in newspaper, and in pamphlet form, for job-wor- k, everything in tho printing line, cannot cost more than $150. He suggests, too, that if there were a good attendance of citizens at the meetings of the Council, and a complete publication of their pro- ceedings by the newspapers, there would be less occasion for fault finding. lMutte Outer. Hon. T. C. Ryan was made happy by the addition of a little girl to his family last Friday night. P. F. Doody, who has been in Colorado for tho last three mouths, writes that he will be among us by the 1st of August. Last night our population was again increased by the arrival of a young miller, the son of Robt. Price, our Platte Center miller. Dr. Wm. Edwards purchased a farm of two hundred acres from an Italian by the name of Barboro, last week, four miles north of town. Sometime during next mouth, the mail for Oakdale aud other offices ou the same route will bo supplied from this place instead of from Co lumbus, as heretofore. X. A ooI Thine:. J. E. Elliott has iuveuted a com- bination drive well that promises to make a big revolution in the bus- iness of supplying water. Any number of wells may he included in the combination, the tops being drawn toward each other iu an easy curve, and enclosed in a large in- verted funnel, closed below, the streams joining and forming one curreut as the water is pulled out by suction. A trial was made Friday last with the fire engine, on a well of this kind, having five supply tubes, and it gave excellent satisfaction. Heretofore Columbus has started out on a system of large wells lined with plank, but this looks as though it would be a decidod improvement, and will probably be adopted. There is every indication that our section of country has an unlimited supply of water, when you go down into the coarse gravel.and the theory of this invention is that with these supply pipes you form the equiv- alent of a well as large as (perhaps larger than) the area enclosed by them. There are several advantages to the new well, among which are its cost, compared with the other, oue-hslf- or less; cost of repair, merely nominal ; tho water would be al- ways pure; comparatively no trouuie to attach uose. Ilride fleeting. A called meeting of the citizens of Columbus was held on Saturday last at the Town Hall. Col. John Rickly was called to the chair and David Anderson elected secretary. About all the business interests of the city were represented, and the object of the meeting as stated by tho chairman was to take some actiou and devise the necessary means, to repair tho Platte river bridge, eleven spans of which were washed away last March, by the Ice and water, and also to inquire into the reason of the great delay in constructing the Loup Fork bridge, and urge its immodiate completion. Mr. Robinson, the contractor, be- ing present gave his reason for the tedious manner work on the Loup has been delayed, and promised to have his contract fulfilled in about seven or eight days, when we may again expect to have our former trade from south and west of the Loup renewed. Remarks were made by Mr. Beck- er, Mr. Kramer, John Wiggins and others, concerning the proper course to pursue in rebuilding the Platte river bridge, and on motion of J. E. North, it was resolved that a com- mittee of three be appointed, consist- ing of John Rickly, John Wiggins and G. A.Schroeder for the purpose of investigating the condition of funds available for the speedy re- pairing of Loup aud Platte bridges, and to consult with the county commissioners in regard to the early completion of said bridges. Also to examine the contract made for driv- ing piles, and putting on the caps for the Loup bridge and to see if work has been done according to contract. On motion of Mr. Becker, this -- meeting adjourned to meet agaiu at call of committee as above designat- ed. D. Andebson, Sec'y. KefuadiRg; Hondo or Not. EniTon iIoukkal: As the city council havo uot, as I am aware, complied with Subdivision 31, Sec- tion 09, Chap. 23, Laws of Nebraska, 18S1, page, 1SG, which provides that "The council or trustees shall "cause to be published, semi-annual-"- ly, a statement of the receipts of "the corporation aud sources there-"o- f, and an itemized account of ex- penditures, with a statement of the "financial condition of the city or "village," the exact amount of our city debt cannot be ascertained, but is supposed to be little less than five thousand dollars. The ten thou- sand dollars in bonds proposed to be voted by a few parties included the debts of the city incurred the present year, as well as its out- standing debt incurred during pre- vious years. Now if we assume that $5000.00 in cash is necessary to liqui- date such outstanding debt, the fol- lowing estimate will show that the city in ten years, when the bonds fall due, would lose $3,351 37 pro- vided our municipal affairs could bo managed on the same basis as they were during Mr. Becker's adminis- tration, aud tho city pay at the rate of $1500.00 per year on its old debt.

Again, it will bo seen at the end of three years on the above hypoth- esis we would have no city debt if we didn't vote bouds. On the other hand, our bonded debt then, in cluding accrued interest, woulcy" amount to $1)050 00. But it may bfe urgod that the interest will have to be paid annually. Grant it. The principal, $5000.00, cannot be paid for ten years. It has been asserted by good authority that there is more than eiiouirb taves lnvmd for fliio and previous years, which might be applied towards paying oil' tho old debt. It is very hard for the citv to he sued ou its outstanding orders, but tho judgments which have boon rendered thereon are trifling in amount, and they have all been paid up, I. believe. Who are likely to sue the city again ? When such is the case, some way may be contriv- ed by which the matter can be met. It is not best to cross a bridge till we reach it. Furthermore, city warrants have not the qualities of negotiable paper, their consideration can always be enquired into. Some of our outstanding paper may have been illegally issued, but if we vote bonds to pay it oil; whon paid;ur money is virtually lost. It was stated to the writer by a f member of the city council, that onf X Monday, July 25th, a resolution was i introduced before our city fathers for tho purpose of ascertaining tho nature of the city's title to Frankfort Square, whether it could be divided into lots and sold by the city, but was voted down, there beiii"' a tie vote, the Mayor voting in the nega- - r tive. It would soem that the sub-- ( jeet is worthy of consideration, for if that proporty could be sold, its at proceeds applied towards paying ofl' our obligations, and the amount of taxable property increased, the in- terests of our little commonwealth at would be much bettor subserved, for aB it stands fenced iu, it is of no use only for growing weeds, and " payiug the overseer of streets out of city funds for harvesting them. & Uvron Mii.i.ktt. Tor the .Journal. GambliHK. According to Lexicographers a gambler is one who plays for money or other stakes, and this vice is not confined to cards, billiards, pool and at such games, but takes iu horse rac- ing and kindred matters which how- ever innocent in themselves when kept in proper bounds, yet seem to lack the'excitemeut so much sought after, unless there is a pecuuiary tho value attached to their success or failure. Of the evil resulting to from an indulgence in the first of M. these games, this community has but too recently had a sorrowful expe- rience, but let those who would punish the violators of law in these respects, see to it that their hands are clean before they commence in throwiug stones, for under the moral law siu is the same whether the and degree be large or small. Wo may endeavor to hide the deformity of the thing nuder the name of driving-parks- , agricultural fairs, &c, but the cloven foot is there, and soouer or later its hideousness will show its effects. Agricultural exhibitions when properly conducted tend to the development and improvement of any neighborhood, but it tho evils referred to are to be considered as necessary adjuuets theu it would be better to remain undeveloped.

David City, Arcade aud Bell- -

Albert Stenger has cut, with aself-binde- r, 130 acres of grain. Ifthe men who bowed their backsreaping with the old sickle, couldarise now from their slumbers, andlook upon the way their grand-childre- n

harvest their grain, they wouldfeel like acknowledging that theyhad lived in an inferior age, sofar at least as labor-.avin- g machinery was concerned. What willour grand children have to say ofus?

"Wc like to 6ee an editor feelhappy, and here is one, evidentlythe Madison Chronicle man, and theoccasion of Iuh hilarity, let him tellit himself: "If you want to see theboas calf of the county call at yeeditor's stable and j'ou can be grat-ified. When it was twenty-fou- rhours old it weighed V2 poundsand we were offered a ten-doll- ar

bill for the same. It will be twoweeks old and there isn'ta calf in the county, of the same agethat will come up to it in size orweight."

The best butter in the New Yorkmarket goes from Iowa, so wo see itstated in sonie of our exchanges.We are assured that first-cla- ss Ne-

braska butler ranks just as high asIowa. Their's is an older settledstate, and doubtless the facilities forhandling butter, the stables, the milkhouses, &., are, on the average, bet-

ter than those of Nebraska, but ourfolks are learning fast, and nothingwill bring them to the front quickerthan to know that the gilt-edge- d

butter made by the Nebraskana whomean business, brings twenty centsa pound the year round. This priceought certainly to beau inducementfor the men of Nebraska to go towork and provide the best of milkhouses and other facilities for mak-ing good butter.

The Omaha Republican of Sat-

urday contained a detailed accountof a horrible accident which hap-pene- d

at North Bend last Fridayevening, to Mrs. Williams. She ranup behind a train standing at thedepot, and called to a gentleman inthe caboose, with whom she hadbusiness, and before he had time toget to her the train moving back-

wards had struck her, knocking herdown with her neck over a rail, andtwo cars pasped before the traincould be stopped. Her head wascompletely Revered from her body,and, strange to say, she received nota bruise, or a scratch any where else,upon her head or body. She wasan excitable woman, and a man bythe name of Robinson had justplayed upon her the scoundrellytrick of selling her a piece of landthat lie had already sold to another,receiving pay from both, which factprobably so occupied her mind thatshe was unconscious of where shewas standing, intent only upon conferring with a man who purposedaidiug her in securing the arrest otthe scoundrel who had defraudedher.

-InvaMlon of the ICiglilx of an

American Citizen lij- - OIH- -ccm ia 4acriiiaiiy.

Several weeks since Mr. ArnoldOchlrich of the firm of OohlrichBros, of this place went to visit thehome of his mother at Elmshorn,Holsteiu, Germany. He had beenthere about, thirty days, when onemorning, before he was yet out olbed, two policemen made their ap- -

pearauce, put him under arrest andtook him betore a police judge, whosaid that ho must go to the fort fora year, work at hard labor for ayear, or pay a fine of 200 marks,about $50. Mr. Oehlrich paid the200 marks, and asked the Judge ifthat was all he wanted from him.On his saying that it was, Mr. O.said that now ho would sec theAmerican Consul at Hamburg aboutthe matter.

Alter he had started for home theJudge sent his marshal to requesthim to call at his otlice before goingto Hamburg. On returning, theJudge iuquired concerning his pass-port, and was informed that Mr. O.was an American citizen. He wentto Hamburg and returned in a fewweeks. Tho day following his re-

turn, the Judge tried to get hispapers from him, and was determin-ed lo send him into the array, butMr. Oehlrich told them to keep theirhands oti him, and he left ou the 1stof July.

We sHppoee that rather than wastehis time prosecuting for false im-

prisonment, Mr. Oehlrich will makehis way to America at the earliestopportunity, but it roust be veryannoying for an American citizen(as much so as any of us, althoughnot boru here), to be treated thus,and Secretary Blaine should make itso Jively for these swindlers thatthey will never dare undertake theirgame again.

-City EteniM.

One of the members of the CityCouncil tells us that a Journal cor-

respondent, in treating of city mat-

ters, should remember that the citydebt is less than $4,000; that war-rants are worth from 80 to 90 cts. onthe dollar; that the publication oftho ordinances in pamphlet form, cannot coat the city $200 all tho print-ing for the year, including everyitem for publication of ordinancesin newspaper, and in pamphlet form,for job-wor- k, everything in thoprinting line, cannot cost more than$150. He suggests, too, that if therewere a good attendance of citizensat the meetings of the Council, anda complete publication of their pro-ceedings by the newspapers, therewould be less occasion for faultfinding.

lMutte Outer.Hon. T. C. Ryan was made happy

by the addition of a little girl to hisfamily last Friday night.

P. F. Doody, who has been inColorado for tho last three mouths,writes that he will be among us bythe 1st of August.

Last night our population wasagain increased by the arrival of ayoung miller, the son of Robt. Price,our Platte Center miller.

Dr. Wm. Edwards purchased afarm of two hundred acres from anItalian by the name of Barboro, lastweek, four miles north of town.

Sometime during next mouth, themail for Oakdale aud other officesou the same route will bo suppliedfrom this place instead of from Columbus, as heretofore. X.

A ooI Thine:.J. E. Elliott has iuveuted a com-

bination drive well that promises tomake a big revolution in the bus-

iness of supplying water. Anynumber of wells may he included inthe combination, the tops beingdrawn toward each other iu an easycurve, and enclosed in a large in-

verted funnel, closed below, thestreams joining and forming onecurreut as the water is pulled outby suction.

A trial was made Friday last withthe fire engine, on a well of thiskind, having five supply tubes, andit gave excellent satisfaction.

Heretofore Columbus has startedout on a system of large wells linedwith plank, but this looks as thoughit would be a decidod improvement,and will probably be adopted.

There is every indication that oursection of country has an unlimitedsupply of water, when you go downinto the coarse gravel.and the theoryof this invention is that with thesesupply pipes you form the equiv-alent of a well as large as (perhapslarger than) the area enclosed bythem.

There are several advantages tothe new well, among which are itscost, compared with the other, oue-hslf- or

less; cost of repair, merelynominal ; tho water would be al-

ways pure; comparatively notrouuie to attach uose.

Ilride fleeting.A called meeting of the citizens of

Columbus was held on Saturday lastat the Town Hall.

Col. John Rickly was called to thechair and David Anderson electedsecretary.

About all the business interests ofthe city were represented, and theobject of the meeting as stated bytho chairman was to take some actiouand devise the necessary means, torepair tho Platte river bridge, elevenspans of which were washed awaylast March, by the Ice and water,and also to inquire into the reasonof the great delay in constructingthe Loup Fork bridge, and urge itsimmodiate completion.

Mr. Robinson, the contractor, be-

ing present gave his reason for thetedious manner work on the Louphas been delayed, and promised tohave his contract fulfilled in aboutseven or eight days, when we mayagain expect to have our formertrade from south and west of theLoup renewed.

Remarks were made by Mr. Beck-er, Mr. Kramer, John Wiggins andothers, concerning the proper courseto pursue in rebuilding the Platteriver bridge, and on motion of J. E.North, it was resolved that a com-mittee of three be appointed, consist-ing of John Rickly, John Wigginsand G. A.Schroeder for the purposeof investigating the condition offunds available for the speedy re-

pairing of Loup aud Platte bridges,and to consult with the countycommissioners in regard to the earlycompletion of said bridges. Also toexamine the contract made for driv-ing piles, and putting on the capsfor the Loup bridge and to see ifwork has been done according tocontract.

On motion of Mr. Becker, this--meeting adjourned to meet agaiu atcall of committee as above designat-ed. D. Andebson, Sec'y.

KefuadiRg; Hondo or Not.EniTon iIoukkal: As the city

council havo uot, as I am aware,complied with Subdivision 31, Sec-

tion 09, Chap. 23, Laws of Nebraska,18S1, page, 1SG, which providesthat

"The council or trustees shall"cause to be published, semi-annual-"- ly,

a statement of the receipts of"the corporation aud sources there-"o- f,

and an itemized account of ex-

penditures, with a statement of the"financial condition of the city or"village," the exact amount of ourcity debt cannot be ascertained, butis supposed to be little less than fivethousand dollars. The ten thou-

sand dollars in bonds proposed tobe voted by a few parties includedthe debts of the city incurred thepresent year, as well as its out-

standing debt incurred during pre-vious years. Now if we assume that$5000.00 in cash is necessary to liqui-date such outstanding debt, the fol-

lowing estimate will show that thecity in ten years, when the bondsfall due, would lose $3,351 37 pro-vided our municipal affairs could bomanaged on the same basis as theywere during Mr. Becker's adminis-tration, aud tho city pay at the rateof $1500.00 per year on its old debt.STATEMENT WITH KKFKltKNCK TO IiONDS.

Let us grant, for the sake of ar-gument in favor of the funding pro-cess, that the bonds can be negotia-ted at par, that it will cost nothingto nogotiate them or call an electioutherefor, how stands the matterthen? $5,000.00 drawing 7 percent,interest in ten years, would equal$8,500.00 principal and interest, thusleaving a difference against bondsbetween that sum and $5093.00,which equals $2807.00.

Again, it will bo seen at the endof three years on the above hypoth-esis we would have no city debt ifwe didn't vote bouds. On the otherhand, our bonded debt then, including accrued interest, woulcy"amount to $1)050 00. But it may bfe

urgod that the interest will have tobe paid annually. Grant it. Theprincipal, $5000.00, cannot be paidfor ten years. It has been assertedby good authority that there is morethan eiiouirb taves lnvmd for fliioand previous years, which might beapplied towards paying oil' tho olddebt. It is very hard for the citvto he sued ou its outstanding orders,but tho judgments which have boonrendered thereon are trifling inamount, and they have all been paidup, I. believe. Who are likely tosue the city again ? When such isthe case, some way may be contriv-ed by which the matter can be met.It is not best to cross a bridge tillwe reach it. Furthermore, citywarrants have not the qualities ofnegotiable paper, their considerationcan always be enquired into. Someof our outstanding paper may havebeen illegally issued, but if we votebonds to pay it oil; whon paid;urmoney is virtually lost.

It was stated to the writer by a fmember of the city council, that onf XMonday, July 25th, a resolution wasi

introduced before our city fathersfor tho purpose of ascertaining thonature of the city's title to FrankfortSquare, whether it could be dividedinto lots and sold by the city, butwas voted down, there beiii"' a tievote, the Mayor voting in the nega- - rtive. It would soem that the sub-- (

jeet is worthy of consideration, forif that proporty could be sold, its atproceeds applied towards paying ofl'our obligations, and the amount oftaxable property increased, the in-

terests of our little commonwealth atwould be much bettor subserved,for aB it stands fenced iu, it is of nouse only for growing weeds, and "payiug the overseer of streets out ofcity funds for harvesting them. &

According to Lexicographers agambler is one who plays for moneyor other stakes, and this vice is notconfined to cards, billiards, pool and atsuch games, but takes iu horse rac-

ing and kindred matters which how-

ever innocent in themselves whenkept in proper bounds, yet seem tolack the'excitemeut so much soughtafter, unless there is a pecuuiary tho

value attached to their successor failure. Of the evil resulting tofrom an indulgence in the first of M.these games, this community has buttoo recently had a sorrowful expe-rience, but let those who wouldpunish the violators of law in theserespects, see to it that their handsare clean before they commence inthrowiug stones, for under the morallaw siu is the same whether the anddegree be large or small. Wo mayendeavor to hide the deformity ofthe thing nuder the name of driving-parks- ,

agricultural fairs, &c, but thecloven foot is there, and soouer or

later its hideousness will show itseffects. Agricultural exhibitionswhen properly conducted tend tothe development and improvementof any neighborhood, but it tho evilsreferred to are to be considered asnecessary adjuuets theu it would bebetter to remain undeveloped.
