It shows to the public where the money comes from and how It Is expended. It costs a little, to be rare, to publish these reports; but the care such publication naturally excites •ayes te the tax payers fifty times such etwt. No lonest official will object to ai^omplete exposure of the income and «atgo of the funds in his keepfng; no dishonest one should be screened.

He fell from the scaffolding of a barn belonging to Mr. Phillips last April, and never recovered from the Injuries then received. He w*s n great sufferer, especially during the latter portion of his sickness, and to him death was not unwelcoMted. No eulogy on the character of Mr. Werdeu is necessary to those who have known and loved him for a generation. Every body respected him, and felt that in his death the community has lost a thoroughly true and noble man. Mrs. Johnson Millard.who was thrown from her carriage lust Christmas o've, is able to be about again. Mr Fagin's recent Injury to bis hand gave his friends an opportunity to show their respect for him. and sympa­ thy for his misrortnne. by presenting ^ lihn witlva purse of about 850. Though he will doubtless be crippled to some extent all his life, the" Injury will not prove as serious its was at first feared. The statement In a recent letter that ,tlie old cheese factory was beaming it.j neighbors In the size of its monthly dividends, provoked a gentle remons­ trance from one of the patrons of the Glyncli factory. Instead of being beaten, he said their dividends hod been equal to, and in some cases greater, than those of the oid factory. Henry Golding was so unfortunate as to fall and tear open for the third time the cut above his ankle received last August, He had seemingly almost re­ covered from the inj iry, or that is,, lie had been about the streets for some weeks doing business as usual, without showing much lameness. It was good to see hiitf out again, and when it was reported that he must go through these weary weeks of waiting for the wound to heal once more, the entire com­ munity was saddened by the news.

Now, while It Is quite probable that the late )ani«nted>Osear might not have enjoyed the party, that he wuuld hardly have been In harmony with hU environment, as ucUher Mr. Wlide or any of his disciples were present to any great extent, the crowd decided that candy pulls may be jolly If they are not aesthetic. It de­ cided some other tilings too: That the foundations were laid for some very fair drifts between here and Volo; that Mr. Raymond's is a rattling good place to go to, and that while theoretically it may be fun for twelve to ride in a sleigh where there is room for but eight practically it would be better toget a, bigger sleigh. * Mr. Fletcher has returned from his trip to Minnesota.

I PKKSIDKNT AKTHtJR. • Pfertdent Arthur has placedfltow-^lf directly in the Hue of needful progress «nd reform. He makes no senseless parade of himself a* a reformer. He does not pose before the country in this role. He i« not one of the talking tort. He is a man of deeds. His veto •f the River and Harbor bill and the Chinese bill sho*ved his mettle. Now ft Is said he has given It to be clearly imderstood that if this present Con­ gress fails to amend the Tariff and the' ftevenue laws so that the revenue shall fee reasonably reduced he will call an •xtra session of the next Congress for that purpose. Jn many ways lie has Shown himself a man of good Sense. He rlfloes not travel about through the Country making a display of himself, receiving ovations, giving, his audien­ ces little extempore talks carefully prepared beforehand for the occasion. When he would escape from the ma- . larious air of Washington lie went off fishing like any other private citizen, without any pomp or parade, and when lie returned he went directly to work without any sound of bugles or vain os­ tentation. Congress may again over­ ride his vetos and resent his opposition to its methods, but the people are learning to respect and trust him. He has made few mistakes and has not feared iu any case to carry out his best conviction*. We predict that before the close of hfs term the popular preju-' dice against him will be exchanged for honor and admiration. So says the 8andWich Gazette, ; f t . " 0 II fe> Notice.

As­ suming that your correspondent Is the Plain deader friend referred to in his last letter to the Gazette, and also in a letter some weeks ago. we take the liberty of commenting briefly upon the situation: It will be remembered that last sum­ mer the Board of Trustees granted another saloon lie?use. justifying their action upon the ground that the appli­ cation and other conditions being properly made, under the ordinance, they could not legally withhold one. Whether their argument was sound or not makes no difference so far as the Plainubaler correspondent is con»; corned. He simply reported their side of the story. For this, and because he questioned some of Justices statements he *vas represented as possessing an in­ ordinate love for notoriety,and to have been so feeble minded as to have been flattered into upholding his flatterers in their illegal and Iniquitous proceed­ ings, etc., and as the Board's action was not what he approved, they were/in effect classed as a set of imbeciles, if not knaves. Although it might not have been called, for tve did say we thought the new saloon would prove a curse to .the community, the remark certainly was not intended for fulseme flattery, nor does it seem a very vlgor- our defense. We certainly depreciate the evils of intemperance, and favor sensible efforts toward a better state of things whether led by Justice or any one el«e, and we do most decidedly object to being classed with the oppo­ sition, and to the assumption of tlielr hypocritical "I am holier than thou"' air by a man who publicly slamler* Uanotherin a paper, and then privately denies wri ting the article^or knowledge of facts which would justify any one iu making such charges. Now if Justice has not changed his identity since his article first appeared, I.e. If he is net as sometimes se-ealled justice is. some times one thing and sometimes another, his views oil the morality of such con­ duct would be of general interest. If it shall prove that we have been hark­ ing up the wrong tree, so to speak, we will acknowledge the corn with great pleasure, for the conviction was very reluctantly fereed upon us that a per­ son of such public spirit, and other highly desirable qualifications as are possessed) by the gentleman said to be Justicc should attempt the grand moral accrebaticJeat of telling tWo directly opposite stories on the same subject, but if, as we think we do, know just exactly what and who we are talking about, we feel called upon to- tell him that while such moral gymnastics may be smart, they are not considered con­ spicuously honest.
