His suritles have been notified that their responsibility has ceased.-- This promptsettiement of the accounts of an office, the receipts ot which are nearly equal to one-uluth of the entire postal revenue of the government is unprecedented in the history of the department. Legislatures can scarcely be ex­ pected to reestablish the whipping : post for wife beaters, but they might devise some method of separating,, human brutes from their wives, ycl* •compel them to work for the benefit of their victims.

James Gordon Bennett's paper «ays editorally: General Mahone deserves credit for lii« policy In Virginia for fighting the «»ltl liide-bound bourbon element,which live« only upon the hatreds |an«l mem­ ories of the war. If Virginia had ac- •ceptcd ten years ago the policy which Mr. Mahone champions to-ilay she might now be side by side with the great, commonwealth of the North in material prosperity. There is every •desire and disposition on the part of the North to shake hands with the "South, to forget the war and its be- Snngings, to contribute hi the amplest <leg»*ee to the development of soutli- •em resources.

The press is Archimedes' lever, plus the coveted fulcrum. It is the power behind the throne, on che throne and above the throne. No one can overes­ timate Its power for good. It has con­ ferred untold blessings on the hnman race. But for it, there would to-day be no constitutional governments on the face of the earth or any real liberty anywhere. Prior to the advent of prlutiiig, the masses were serfs or slave*, soul and body. Without the press we would drift back into barbar­ ism. It is mortifying to see an editor one respects, obliged to remind every little while that he wants his honest dues--a load of wood, a sack of flour, or some other necessary article, which, If the cash was promptly forthcoming, lie could purchase for himself. If we had made up our mind to do a general business of. cheating, we would pay - the editor, the doctor, the minister, all that is their due. The lawyers are supposed to be able to take care of themselves, as well as of their clients. We have nyou:ig woman tn our town who supports herself and it widowed mother by working out by the week doing house work. If we were a young man wouldn't we pitch in? Mrs. G. L.

AB WATCHMAKER. ^ , .... . ;v^- JEWELRY, • 1ST'During the past yeitr two French /experimenters have kept nine pigs in * state of habitual intoxication, in or^ «lfcr to test the efieots of various alco- liOlic stimulants. The digestive ap- fMratus of the pig quite closely resem­ bles that of man, and for this reason Jbese animals were chosen for the ex- periinents. The savants have found that the pie taking absinthe is first gay, then excitable, irritable, combat- ire, and Anally drowsy: the pig under the influence of brandy is cheerful un­ til lie falls asleep; the pig treated to rum becomes directly sad and somno­ lent; while the gin-taking pig assumes a most eccentric Hue of conduct-- granting, squealing, tilting his head against the sty door, rising on his hind legs, and otherwise behaving very un­ like ordinary sober pigs. The animals subjected to these experiments are said to be none the worse for their year's drunk. J®"So much has been said about economy at the White Hoioe during Mr. Hayes omipaney, that a statement as to his salary and savings is made by authority*' in a Cleveland paper.-- We trust that neither the ex-President nor his friends felt there was any pres­ sure on them to do this l^ing; but since they have done it, of course, the enri- o is will be only too glad to learn that of the #200.000 received, #134,000 went for the expenses of the Presidential lio.-pftality, though there was no' w4ne bill to settle. It is said that of the bal­ ance 960,000 was applied to the dis­ charge of debt incurred before his election, leaving Mr. Hayes, therefore, with available cash iu hand to the amount of #6,000. The moral of which is that a President who has no old i-cores to settle out of his salary, may amply fulfill all thesoeial requirements of his high place and yet retire with tome thing like a competency for his old age. IfiT Senator Mahone was a Confed­ erate general and distinguished him­ self iu the war; but unlike the Bour­ bons who wrongly accuse him of de­ serting the party which placed him in l<ower, he says: "I accepted the re­ mits of the war. including the Consti­ tutional Amendments, without any mental reservation. It is peace, real reace and fraternity of feeling between the States and their constituencies in ; the interests of their common country |i«ud a single destiny, which I shall en- j^sdeavor to promote.

He start­ ed from Woodstock March 8th, the railroad here being blocked with ice and snow, when after a ride oT two days he arrived at Chattanooga and found that the frost had disappeared, and that most of the springgrain was in Further east the peach orchards were in blossom, and farmers were, plowing forcoru. The fruit crop promises to to be abundant this year. Mr. Stevens had the satisfaction of seeing the ap­ ple tree which last year bore 135 bush­ els of choice apples, a yield which .night, in this county, be considered good for ten healthy trees. The land which he went to examine belongs to Jerry Sherman and according to re­ port is a very desirable location for some one who might desire to own a grazing ranch, there being about 800 acres of fine pasture and 400 of heavy timber. This tract Hex within one and a half miles of Crossville, and promises to be valuable property. Parties de­ siring to learn more ot that part would do well to talk with Mr. Stevens or with Mr. Sherman. H. C. Irish, of Chicago, was the guest of J. W. Cristy last week. R. A. Bucklaud, who has gained name as a nurseryman, keeps on hand, and is prepared at all times, and on short notice to fill orders for all kinds of fruit trees.

He will visit Chicago this week to purchase stock for the comiug seaoon. Mr. Edgar Carter, of Jefferson, Towa, is visiting friends here. We under­ stand he intends returning on Monday. James Cair iias been spending the past week with friends iu Elgin. Mr. and Mrs. P. R. Allen celebrated the Afth anniversary of their marriage on the 23d.
