IT IS said that the Presidents salary Is #137 a day. It seems that the Presi­ dent business is a great deal better tha*i editing a country newspaper or running a wood saw, and at the earli­ est possible moment we shall go int0 it. Young men should nety%aste time in trylrg to become doctors and law­ yers when a first class President can make #137 a day, house rent free. Most any kind of a president can make more money than a quack doctor, a plug lawyer or even a country news­ paper editor. GOD bless all the good old mothers. I never see ar. old lady sitting in the arm chair at her ease but I think what storms have pelted into that cherry face without souring it. It may be that a man can go through more ex­ ertion than a woman, but at least it remains true that he can not without losing his laughter, his good cheer, his gentleness and his lovo and trust in mankind or God. Yet how rarely do you find a frail old mother whoso spirit lias been worn threadbare and unlovely by what she has endured. A sweet old mother is common. A sweet old father is not so. As thy day so thy strength of benevolence and hope and faith.

Summer Silk at Perry & Owen's. town Meeting In Iratonry, The Town Meeting in McHenry on Tuesday passed off in a very quiet manner, there being 412 votes polled, a little over a two-thirds vote. There were tw6 tickets in the field. Peoples' Ticket*, headed by Richard Bishop, aiul the Union Ticket„headed by F. K. Granger. Scietching seemed to be the order of the day and the result was the election of F. K.

Lake county, on Sunday morning la«t by the announcement that the house of James Darrow had been burglarized the night before, the Safe, containing seme 91,500 In School funds, (of which Mr. Darrow was the treasurer,) broken open, and the money stolen. Apparently there was no clew to the perpetrator or perpetrators, It appears that the Safe was standing in Mr. Darrows bedroom, and on Satur day night the room was occupied by Mr. Darrow and John Va«ey, neither of whom were disturbed or knew of the supposed burglary until Sunday morning. Thus matters were reported on Monday morning. A Chicago De< tective was telegraphed for, who arriv­ ed ae Volo on Monday forenoon, and in ' the afternoon some interested parties secured the senrces of officer Lafe Berithusen, of Nunda, who also arrived at Vole* on the evening of Mon­ day. The ground was carefully looked over by both detectives and on Tues­ day morning on comparing notes they could not agree, the Chicago man pro­ posing to follow a couple of tramps who had been seen in the neighborhood which he proceeded to do. After his departure Benthusen went at his|woik In his usual systematic manner.(J and by two o'clock on Tuesday afternoon he had his man down fine, and forced him to a confe-slon. It appears, as It WSB brought out, that Darrow was a defaul­ ter to the tune of about 92.000, and as the books and funds were to be turned ever to his successor on Mouday he got up the pretended burgarly on Saturday night to cover up his deficiency. His attempt was as foolish as it was unsuc­ cessful. The man or set of men who think they can fool officer Benthusen In a matter of this kind will find them selves badly left. As a Detective we believe he has few superiors. There is no r.eed of sending to Chicago for a Detective when there is a better one nearer home. He Is oertalnly deser­ ving of the greatest praise for the manner In which he haudled this case. We understand the matter was fiually fixed up with his 'bondsmen, aud Dar- row will not be prosecuted.

The flrit anniversary ofjhn organi­ sation of the Congregational Church Choir, was observed by a pleasant re­ union at Mrs. J. W. Haythorn's last Friday evening. The Town Caucus was a vory quiet affair, but that a good interest was felt in it is shown in tne fact that the vote was nearly or.e hundred. The nomina­ tions In the main are good ones, and of eolirse the ticket will be elected, it is understood that the delegates to the County Convention are all for B. N.

Alfred Wilcox Is re potted danger­ ously sick from blood poisoning. A few days ago he got a trifling wound of the finger.

Important Deoiiion by the Supreme Court Through the kindness of Supervisor Alexander we are put in possession of a volume of the Advance Sheets of the Illinois Reports. It is hard to procure at the presient time and we have no doubt that the extract therefrom given below, will be new to most men in the County. It is of great interest to this, Town and to the Board of Supervisors of McHenry Co., as the case decided by the Supreme Court is almost Identical with the case of I he Town of Richmond vs. McHenry Co., iu relation to the Solon Bridge. It is lon£. but we con­ sider it of so great importance as te call for Its publication in full, even to the exclusion of other local matter: THE TOWN or NEW. BOSTOH e.

Where the commissioners of highway* have determined that the con­ struction of a bridge or bridges across any Btreain in their town is necessary, and that the cost thereof is too great a burden to be reasonably borne by the town, and apply to the countv board for an appropriation tor one half of the cost .if i ts construction, having first provided for tho other half of the necessary expenses, under the act of 1879 the county board has no discretion to refuse the aid sought. 2. SAME-- Whether too late to apply for county aid after contract it made--who to determine the character of bridge to be built . Application to t e county board far such an appropriation is not too late after the commissioners of high, ways hfiTe let the contract for building the bridge. The committee appointed by the coun .y board ha/e nothing whatever to do in connection with the' commisuinncM-ai of high­ ways, or otherwisp, in determining the char­ acter of the bridge to be built or in ihe letting of the contract to build the same. Those mat- tere are intrusted by law exclusively to the commissioners of highways. Appeal from the Appellate Court ffor the Second District;--heard In that court on ap­ peal irom the Circuit Court of Mercer county; the Hon. John J. Glenn, Judge, presiding. Mr. I . N. Bassett and Mr. J. C. Pepper, for the appellant. Mr. J. O. Wharton, and|Mr. B. C. Taliaferro, for the appellee. Mr. Justice Scott delivered the opinion of the Court: The relator in this case shows, by its peti. t ion. filed December IS, JS84, that fed wards river runs through the town of New Boston from oast to west, which makes it necessary to keep up a number of costly'bridges in the town, and that two certain ljridges--one on tlte Keilhsburg road and the other on the Aledo road-had become unfit tor use, and that such roads are gruat public thoroughfares in such town, and bridges over the river wnere these highways cross it are absolutely neces­ sary to aceouimodule the public, The amount necessary to construct the respective bridges is staled, and also tho amount that, cou'd be lawfully rased in any one yea' ' for bridge purposes, by taxation, is s ated, and it is t lun alleged that the relator Has provided funds necessary o pay for one.half of the expenses for the construction of such bridges, and that the cost oi building either or both ot such bridges would be au unreasonable burden on the town, t t is also furthev set forth, the commissioners of highways of such town hav- "ng determined to build the bridges at the points indicated, they presented a petition in writing t,<> tho board of supervisors of Mercer county, at their meeting in December, 1SS3, setting up and showing'the facts as al>o*e alleged', and asking for an appropriation from the county treasury to pay one-half ot the cost«nd expenses of building each bridge, (a enpy ot winch petition was attac .ed to aud mad'e a part of the petition herein,) ami that the board of supervisors refused to muke any appropriation to aid in building such bridges. Section 110, of the act of 1*79. in relation to roads and bridges" in counties under town­ ship organization, under which this proceed­ ing was instituted, was considered by this ".ourt in The People v. Sn)>etvixors, 10*1 Ifl . S40, and it is unnecessary now to do more than re­ state the c nstr ction therein given to it . I t was held in that case when the commissioners of highways of a town hare determined the construction of a bridge across any stream in their town is necessary, aud that the cost thereof is too great a burden to be reasonably borne by the town, and apply to the county board for an appropriation fvir one-half the eosftof i ts const ruction--the commissioners of highways hav ng provided for the other half of the necessary expenses.--the countv board is required by this statute to make thedesir. ed appropriation from the county treasury, and that in such a case the county board has no discretion to refuse the aid sought. It will be seen Ihe t:icts;alleged in the petition In this case, and admitted by the demurrer, are precisely analogous with the facts in the case cited, except in tlie present case the commis­ sioners of hiijhwavs have determined to con­ struct two bridges over a stream in the town they represent, and ask aid for Iwih of them. Tha't fact can make no difference. Ttie lan­ guage of the sta ute is, "when it shall be necessary to construct or repair any bridge in any town," and certainly when public neces­ s i t y requires it to ho done;x , the aumority to construct more than one briilge at a time is as clear as it is to construct them separately. Any other construction is loo ill iberal to Oe adopted. The application to the county bo-trd, which is mad") a | tarl ot the petition herein, shows the coininirtsioiiers of highways had previous­ ly let the contract, at prices agreed'upon, for constructing.both bridges, and it is therefore contended the petition shows on iis face tho application to the county board c.ime t >o late, ami that the i»»i.rd was not bound to make anv appropriation in aid of tho construction of either of said bridges. It is mutt! clear, from it consiiieration of all the piovisions of the statute on this -subject, i l ia matter of con­ structing aud repairing bridges is committed exclusively lo the commissioners of highways ot Ihe town As a general proposition this much is conceded, but i t is insisted, in cases where the county is c illed upon for aid, that clause of section 110 which declares that all fum: s to be raised under this section "shall be expended by and under the joint control »f t l i i 'commissioners ot highways of the t >wn asking such aid, and two persons appointed by Ihe county board ot the county grantui- ' tho same" creates ac exception to the general rulo. The construction contended for can not be adopted. Plainly it is the duty of the com­ missioners of highways to let all contracts for the .construction of bridges in their respec­ tive towns. This i» so because ihe statute has so provided, and no other mo le ot letting con­ tracts for bridges is provided in cases where county txtar,Is are required bv law to fiilrnish aid. All this clause of the statute means i that the money provided, uoth b\ the town and th it appropriated from ihe count, treas­ ury, shall be "expended" by and under the joiiit control of the highway commissioners and the two persons appointed by the county board,--that is, i t is made their duty* to : that the money so taised and appropriated is "expended" tor ' the purposes intended, and not otherwise. It is the duty ot these person to so conti ' i l the money tli . i t i t may be used exclusively to pay for Mich public, improve nients in which bo ill the town and county are interested, as the work may progress. There is not the .-lightest indication Hiivwhcre in section llC, or elsewhere in the statute, the ttvo persons ti» l ie"appointed- by the county board granting aid shall act with the commis­ sioners of higtiways of the town In determiu ing the chaiacter of the bridges to be built , or in the letting of the contracts to build them. That matter is intrusted exclusively to the judgment and discretion of tiie commissioners of highways of the respective towns. As the legislature has seen lit to commit i*jjch mat ters to the management of tiiA loci I oilicers ot the town, it if not We province Of the courts, by judicial construction, lo place it else where. * Tne petition-herein shows on its face all the facts require i lo warrant a rtiantiauuts, as sought, and the demurrer thereto wtu im propto'ly iMi.laiojid. Tho judginuut of tho Appellate Court will therefore be reversed and the cause reman.led, with d red tons to that court to inverse the judgment of the c cuit court, and remand the cause for further proceedings conforming lo the views express ed in this opinion.
