ly wanted a tax of 3} mills and that it was finsl-
ly decided to levy & tax of 1}¢ mills for hoot
purposes and 2% mills for building purposes ; 1p
tal 4 mills, Now I frankly sdmit the board made
a mistake in levying Cg mills for building purpo-
sex, not that it would have Jett an overplus of two
or three hundred dollars as Mr, ‘Alexander
thought, but because that while the law aliows 13
mills to be levied for school and 13 mills for build.
ing purposes it at another place declares that the
building tax shall not exceed in mmount the an-
nual school lAX in any one year, Which latter pro-
vision 1 had overlooked when the building tax
was levied ; and the collection thereof was aban
doned by advice of counsel, because that while
the majority of the tax-payers would have paid
the tax a few of the grumblers would have refus-
ed and could not have been compelled to pay it
But if it was right to have an overplus in the
treasury of $179.5 June, 1476, after deducting un-

SOME BEASTS OF REPROACH.
In Scotland they call them ‘*‘bawkie
birds,” things of ill omen, and over nlarge
part of rural England they are supposed
to bo blood-suckers and in league with the
things of another world But public
opinion has been against them from the
first. At the creation, so they say, the
bat affected (as did the ostrich) to be
neither beast nor bird, in the hope of es-
caping the task which Allah was appor-
tioning to all, but was punished by being
told that all the day and all the night were
already distributed, and that it must make
shift for itself as it could with those hours
whicli were neither the one nor theother.
The Mosaic law pronounced the bat ‘“the
fowl that creeps going on all fours,” an
abomination and the rabbis carried on the
national prejudice. In Egypt, mean-
while, it had attracted attention, been
adopted in the menagerie of worship, and
solemnly dedicated to Darkness. Rome
and Greece took their bat from Egypt,
and wo find the bat drawing the ear of
Nox through the sky and transformation
into the bat one of the gloomiest penal-
ties within the imagination of the myth-
maker, Here and there, however, it is
redeemed from opprobrium, ss by the
Moslem legend of Isa makirg 8 bat,
“Khopash,” out of clay and endowing it
with life, so that it might coms and tell
him in his seclusion among the mountains
when the sunset hour for the suspension
of the Ramazan fast approached So to-
day wo find this useful little snimal, a
mouse on wings, regarded by a majority
of mankind with apprehension and dis-
like. Its appearance when seated is cer-
tainly against it; but on the wingit is the
very incarnation of buoyant hsppiness.
Under the inquiries of science iw amaz-
ing sensitiveness to touch, amounting in-
deed almost to the possession of a new
sense, has been the admiration of natur-
alists, while its extraordinary suspension
of life for part of the year (differng alto-
gether in character and degreo from the
hybernation of dormice and bears) ranks
certainly among the wonders of nature,
gratitude due to a creature that bos ven-
tured upon such originality in the matter
of nose? It is horn-nosed and lesf-nased,
sometimes it wears a crest on the top of
mimio horseshoe ; but always fantastic
and unexpected. It is the very orchid of

A PROMINENT MAN END3 HIS
SUFFERINGS BY SUICIDE.
Westficld, Tioga Co., Pa, May 10.—
Butler B. Strang committed suicide at his
residence in this place at half-past six o'-
clock this morning. He has been io fee
ble health for a long time, gnd in the ab-
sence of other moving ned the act is
attributable to despondency growing out
of the misery aud suffering that hina
been cansed by his chronic ailment, The
act was committed in the presence of bis |
wife and son. He had just risen from |
bed, and with no warning as to his puor- |
poss went to the bureau drawer, took
therefrom a loaded revolver, and placing
it at his head fired. The bullet passed |
through his brain and death wes instau-
taneous.
Mr. Strang was a prominent Republi-

time speaker of the house at Harrisburg,

ITALIAN THIEVES
The following account of the robbing
of a countryman near Pistoia, abont thirty
miles from Florence, is given by an Ital
ian correspondent : Shortly after night-
fall, while the family and friends were at
supper, a knock was heard at the door,
and on the steward's asking who was
there, a voice said, ** Petrino,” {he name
of n game-keeper ou the estate. When
the door was opened a body of men
masked with black veils appeared, and
pointing guns at the company made them
all lie down on their faces, aud then pro-
ceeded to rifle their persons snd bresk
open the cash box, in which were seven
thousand francs for payments to be made
on the estate. Among the company wus
a priest who had one hundred sad twenty
francs, of which he vms soon relieved.
After this summery proceeding, the
thieves, who numbered nine men armed
with guns sud daggers, directed the un-
happy guests and family tomardh into an
adjoining room, and, placing a sentinel at
the door with instructions to shoot the
first person who moved, announead their
intention of finish mg the supper 80 un-
pleasantly interrripted by their unwel-
come arrival. After two hours the senti-
nel left, and it was discovered that the
robbers had been gone a long time.
COFFEE IN THE ARMY.
“The best oc dfoe makers,” said an old
gentleman with a mouth-watering sort of
an expression illuminating his whole coun-
tenance, ** wero the soldiers of the old
Union army. To begin with, they had
the very best of coffee. You may not
know it, but tue contract that put the very
best Java in the hands of the sokliers was
engineered by an old army officer, who
contended t at a cup of good, strong cof-
fee would pat more spirit and fight into
a tired and discouraged soldier than any-
thing else that could be given him. And
he insisted that whatever else might be
bad, coffee should be good, and it was.
The boy?. learned in time just how to make
it. In the first months a great deal of
coffe ‘was spoiled in the making by com-
pany cooks, But in the latter years of
the service each rasa carried his own cof-
fee-pot and made his pint or quaet of cof-
foe to suit his taste. A soldier who loved
coffon became more absorbed in the pro-
oes of getting that feature of his break-
fast just right than in prepewation forbat-
‘tle, and one of the most spiteful and
bloo diest battles T éver saw grow out of a
cava ry attack on camp just as the boys
were s in the midst of their coffve-making.
