[Correspondence of the Philada. Daily Evening Bulletin.]
Wssiorrorosr, Ane. Ist.—The President is
sorely perplexed as to what to do with Commis
sioner Rollins. It 16 understood that the subject
of his suspension was discussed at the Cabinet
meetings on Tuesday last and yesterday, and that
the sentiment of the President's constitutional
advisers was decidedly against his taking any step
looking to Rollins's removal or suspension, and
Attorney General Everts, It 35 well known, was
very emphatic in recommending the President to
abstain from any such action. Daring the week,
it seemed to be settled that Johnson would act
upon this zdvice, and allow Rollins to remain
undisturbed; but the absence of Seward and Everts
in New York,, and the pressure of interested
purges,. who are constantly representing to the
President that his permitting Rollins to remain
in office was a standing menace to him, has ap
parently changed his mind, and he seems disposed
to throw.aside,the,advice of cooler beaded men
than himself; and act from his impulsive - feelings
rather from reason and judgment. He 68?.D28
to have come to the conclusion to remove
Rollins, even if he puts another Radical in his
place, which proceeding he hopes will induce the
Senate, when it meets again, to approve his ac
tion. To this end it is understood he has offered
the position to Gov. Cox, who has declined it,
and it is reported to-day that similar overtures
have been made to Columbus Delano, who rep
resents' the Eleventh District of Ohio in Congress,
he having unseated Morgan, Democrat. Delano

In the meantime, Commissioner Rollins is qui
etly but Industriously going on with the reor
ganization of the Bureau under the provisioni3 of
the new tax law, and is daily surrounded with a
host of office-seekers. • The position of Super
vitor of Revenue is most sought after, and the
contest, in some districts, promises to be sharp
and bitter. No nominations have been made yet
by Rollins to Secretary 3lcCulloch, owing to the
fact that the judicial districts must be arranged
first, which • will consume some time. This is
rendered necessary, because some of the judicial
districts, as at present constituted, embraces parts
of different collection districts, which it is desi
rable to avoid, if possible, in arranging the dis
tricts for the supervisors.
CONTEST PON r ENINSYLVANLA SOTEEVLSORS.
The contest for Supervisor. for Eastern Penn
sylvania is very spirited. John Dtiller, late Bev
cunt: Agent's understood to be a candidate; also,
Thomas W. Sweeney, ex-assessor Second Dis
trict; Wm. B. Sipes, ex-clerk to the Revenue
Board of your city; J. Orlando Tobias, ex-rev

sor, Fourth District. Sonthworth Is well versed
In revenue affairs. assisted the Committee of
Ways and Means in preparing the provisions of
the tax bill relating to tobacco, and is now tem
porarily attached to the Bureau at Washington,
assisting in the preparation of the regulations for
the tobacco trade. The chances appear to be In
his favor for nomination, lint whether he will be
approved by the Secretary Is another question.
John Miller stands well with the Bureau, and it
is possible he may be nominated,and South worth
given another position. A large number of appli
cants for the New Jersey District have been flied,
among them ex-revenue inspector Brooks, who
seeks an appointment in that State.
THE CASE OF COLLECTOR CARE.
_ -
Senator Buckalew and Representative Samuel
J. Randall were at the Treasury Department to
day, and it was agreed between Secretary Mc-
Culloch and "the parties of the first part" that
Cake should have five to ten days in which to
present his defence against the charges filed
against him, and in the event of his failure to
mate satisfactory explanations, immediate sue
pension will follow. Senator Buckalew has here
tofore sustained Cake, but to-day, it is reported,
exhibited indications of withdrawing his sup
port if the' ollector could not successfully refute
the charges.
TRE NEW STAMP FOR WILISKEY sAnitnr.s.
The internal revenue Stamp for whisky bar
rels has been engraved, and is now ready for de
livery. It is about three inches wide by six
inches long, with a hole cut through the centre,
on the back of which is pasted a piece of thinner
paper than that used for the stamp, so that in
cancelling it, it will be so mutilated as to prevent
it being used a second time. The stamp bears
the words " Tax paid," and contains serial num
bers to correspond with those, on the stub in
books to be kept in the distillery, to prevent du
plication. Each stamp has coupons attached, to
add one, two, three or four gallons when neces
sary, the chief stamp being for forty gallons,
whereas whisky barrels generally contain one,
two or three gallons over that number.
STAMPS FOR THE TOBACCO TRADE
The stamps for tobacco comprise 21 denomina
tions,as follows:—For 1, •2, 3, o, 10, 20, 40, 50, 60,
and 100 pound boxes and barrels of plug tobacco
—half ounce, one ounce, 2,4, 6, 8 and 16 ounces
for fine cut chewing—and 2,4, 8 and 16 ounces
for smoking tobacco. All these, stamps will be
sold as revenue stamps are now sold, and the
evidence that tax has been paid will be the stamp
on the box, barrel or package. These stamps
will be about one inch wide, by one and a half
inches long, and will be finished in artistic style.
They will not be completed and ready for use be
fore sixty days.
THE CONTRACT FOR PRINTLIG POSTAGE STAMPS.
The award of this contiact by Postmaster
General Randall has been postponed until the
first of October. and the different bidders have
been notified accordingly. The Politmaster Gen
eral is also preparing regulations for the govern
ment of postmasters, and the tr msmission of
mail matter, in conformity with the late law of
Congress amending the postal laws, which will
be ready in a few days.
THE APPOINTMENT OF BLNICKLEY-HE WILL HAVE
The irrepressible Blackley has been appointed
Solicitor of Internal Revenue, to heal his
wounded feelings for being legislated out of the
Attorney-General's office. This office of Sohcitor
of the Internal Revenue Bureau has never been
filled before, the office being regarded as unne
cessary, although provided for by law; and Con
gress at its next session will unquestionably
legislate Binckley out of office again.

Lord Napier on the War In A byssinta l -
The Work of the British army.
'From the London TitrieD, July 224
_Yesterday the honorary freedom of'tho corpor
ation of the city of London, with a sword of• the
value of two hundred guineas, was publicly pre
sented to Baron Napier, in the Guildhall. in pur
suance of a resolution of the Court of Common
Council unanimously adopted at a • recent-meet
ing, in admiration for the fortitude; skill, energy
and promptitude displayed by him in bringing
the Abyssinian war to a successful and brilliant
close. In the evening the Lord Mayor and the
Lady Mayoress entertained his Royal Highness,
the Duke of ?Cambridge, Lord and , Lady Napier
and many other persons of distinction, at dinner
at the Mansion House, which was served in the
Egyptian hall. The guests were about two hun
dred in number.
Lord Napier of Magdala, who was received
with prolonged and enthus iastic cheering, in re
plying to the toast in his honor, said: My Lord
Mayor your Royal Highness, ladies and gentle
men—l cannot but feel very deeply the honor
you have conferred upon me this day in the very
kind reception I have met with from the city of
London, and the very kind manner in which my
health has peen drank, this evening, •These-are
favors antirewards lao great - ,thaf I feel I have
•
den° very little for them and they, lay ttpott me
so great a burden of snr:itcelo be dO4O Boiseßoisefuture day, that I can hardly ever hopet to repay
the very kind welcome you have conferred upon
me. It a source of very great gratification to
me and to every member of the Abyssinian ex
pedition to find that our services have been
received so favorably 13, y our countrymen
of all classes, and that we have been considered
to have done our duty. I must say that we are
under great obligations to the government of this
country,which supplied us promptly and speedily
with everything we required. To the head of the
government of India in this country, Sir Stafford
-Northeotes - car - ackno Mare - peetiliarly

names of , the military comtnittee, - under Sir 8.
Northeote—Sir IL J. Hussey Vivian, General
Boker, Captain Eastwick and Major General
egrea
Pears—to whom we artly indebted for the
labora_romptitude_endlredgenent_which enabled
them to point out the wants which
were Supplied. also much indebted to
the Duke •of Cambridge, who so promptly
and without regard to precedent gave
me the officers I solicited, whose skill and
courage I had witnessed before and whose ser
vices i was convinced it, was highly desirable to
obtain. [Cheery, j The Viceroy of India, too,
came to our assistance when we were in great
difficulties, and sent us camel drivers and mule
drivers, 'without whose aid we would scarcely
have advanced. I have also to express my ac
knowledgments to the Governor of Madras, my
honored namesake, Lord Napier of Merchistorm,
who gave us much valuable assistance. I must
also express , my gratitude to the Governor of
Bombay, Sir Seymour Fitzgerald, for the im
mense labor he bestowed on the equip
ment of - the expedition, and the
great assistance - he afforded us on
every occasion after we left Bombay and
whenever we required the aid of the Bombay
government. I have'but one word to say in ref
erence to the conduct of the men. The conduct
of all the members of the force was exemplary in
the highest degree. They viedwith each other in
devotion to the Queen and in the performance of
their duty. This was not the first time that I
bad seen British soldiers. labors __zealously,
but I never saw them- labor better
than on this occasion, The native soldiers
abandoned all their prejudices and vied
with the English soldiers in zeal. I may
mention that on one occasion, soon alter I
arrived, I rode round the worka, and came upon
a regiment of Bengal , native , troops. who knew
something of me personally and something by
tradition. Some Prussian officers who honored
as with their company could not think what had
happened when they saw even these men, with
their baskets of earth, dancing about with joy.
They were expressing their delight that the Com
mander-in-Chief had come among them to sea
them at work. I cannot do too much justice to a
Beloochee regiment for their devotion, and little
behind them, if any, were the Tenth Bombay na
tive regiment. A great part of these men were
Hindustanis,but they were as willing as any other
races to do their duty, and they were an honor
to their Presidency. The services of the cavalry
were equally meritorious. I had on one occasion to
point out some ground to a native officer of my
escort. He had said be did not know where the
commander-in-chief was going to take the cav
alry. I said, "That is your plain?" He replied,
"Very well, Sahib, that is a beautiful piece of flat
ground." It was really a slope of hill at an angle
of forty-five degrees. [A laugh and cheers.] Of
the British infantry it is unnecessary to speak.
They labored extremely hard, had to carry very
heavy loads, and were obliged to go from active
work to picket duty. I was astonished at their
endurance, but they bore up, inspired by a
strong hope of perfecting the task they had be
tore them. Every man had sufficient considera
tion and reflection to understand the end
R e had in view. I was also much indebted to
the officers of the Intelligence Department, who
all labored zealously. Although by their duties
they were often kept in the rear when their
wishes would have carried them to the front,they
contributed greatly to the success of the expedi
tion. Las t , but not least, I will mention the
officers an d
men of the navy, who assisted us in
every possible way. The spitit of the commander
of the navy was excellent and it was shared by
all the force. They made admirable volunteer
soldiers, and accompanied us with the Rocket
brigade. None marched better, and they took
excellent care of their mules. When the expedi
tion was over I expected the greater part of them
to go into the lancers or artillery. I do not
know whether Captain Fellowes Is content to re
main in the navy, but he never seemed more at
home than when he was on horseback. [Laugh
ter and cheers. I When our task was accom
plished the first news we received from home was
a telegram from her Majesty the Queen, who is
always the first to encourage her soldiers in their
duties. I Cheers. 1 Immediately after her Majes
ty's telegram, arrived one from his Royal High
ness the Duke of Cambridge. The Secretary of
State for India also telegraphed to us in wdrm
terms of congratulation. I cannot tell your
lordship how much I fed the welcome which
bas awaited me in this country. I can
not but feel grateful to the force under
my command through whose exertions lam in
debted for the favors I have received. We all
did our best, but without the zeal and cordial co
oueration of every officer and soldier under my
command our success would not have been COM
pieta.. The illustrious Duke has truly remarked
that I have had the honor to serve under two
gallant officers now in this room. I am proud
to remember that I served in Central India under
my noble and gallant friend Lord Strathnairn, a
soldier who thoroughly understood that the way
to defeat an Asiatic enemy Is by going straight
at their heads on every occasion—l cheers]—
and who invariably triumphed over all the
difficulties in which he was placed. I had also
the honor to serve under my gallant and honored
friend, Sir Hope Grant, whose command of the
military forces in China was signalized by the
capture of Pekin. With respect to the volunteer
force I may remark that, although not a-young
soldier, I am a volunteer officer of a few days
old,for I have been proud to accept the command
of the Third regiment of the city of London Rifle
brigade. I shall ever remember with gratitude
the honom conferred upon me by the city of
London to-day and the kind welcome I have re
ceived in this hall. [Lord Napier resumed his
seat amid enthusiastic cheering. I -

Emboldened by their _success -in Wales, the
Mormons have endeavored to break ground in

OUR WHOLE COUNTRY.
Brightm Young always find in the Welsh coun
ties, especially in the southern parts. The mi
ners are allured by the promises held out to
them of "getting land for the asking," high
wages, and a comfortable home in the Bait Lake
settlement, and they gladly abandon a life of
toil for the fairer prospect which is pictured
to them. The Mormon elders, however, seek
chit fly , for girls, and many a household in 4 Wiles
loses its best fCmale servantz once or twice
year, owing to the persuasion of Mormon preach
ers. These young women are generally' told that
polygamy forms no part of the Mormon religion
or practice, and that its alleged existence is a
mere wicked calumny of the "Gentiles." In
Monmouthshire the progress of the sect daring

the country as fast as„they are won. In Liver

Wade (July 21) Correspondence of the I.oudon Thaea.l
-Tivo women, Marie Fleutot, 'a dometnicaer
vant, aged 24, and her mother, Marguerite Mer
tette, have just been tried in -Paris on a charge of
murder. The victim was a lady named Chante
reatt, aged 50, and unmarried, but who for'more
Wan 20 years had lived with a person named For
est,ll builder, and passed as his, wife. She resided
during the summer at a pleasant villa on the ba,nks
of the Marne, at La lrarenne-SL-Hilare, a short
distance from Paris. M. Forest, beingdetained in
- town - brbusinessi watr - rdwaysrubsent — from his
country seat during the week, and only arrived
on, Saturday evening to stay over the Sunday.
At about 1.30 o'clock on the morning of the 10th
of August last, the house at La Vareaae was dis
covered to be on fire. The flames were got un
der in about an hour,_after_whichthe_hody_oL_
12Fdlle. Chanterean was found on a bed
Which had been partially burnt ; the head - was
completely carbonized, but singularly
enough, the body was only scorched, and the
mattresses on which it lay were not destroyed.
This fact had struck the person who had come to
render assistance, and the first impression was
that a crime had been committed, suspicion fall
ing on the servant Fleutot, who was alone with
Mlle. Chanterean at the moment of the disaster;
but as M. Forest found his property ha the house
to the amount of over 300,000 francs in cash and
Securities, remaining intact, and as the body
bore no marks of violenee, that supposition fell
to the ground, and the fire and death of Mlle.
Cbanterean were concluded to have been the re
sult of accident. In February last, however,
from information which M. Forest had received,
a search was made in an apartment at Beroy oc
cupied by the mother of the girl Flentot, and a
large quantity of .property was found, consisting
of bedding, lanen, , jewelry; articled of wearing
apparel, cte..; of the value of from . 4.000 francs,
to 5,000 francs, all of which had belonged to.
the deceased lady. A judicial' iriquity was
then opened and showed that the' murder
must- have been committed by the woman
Fleutet, assisted by her mother, who went fre
quently to visit her, and they were, in conee.
quence, both arrested. The investigation proved
that they had endeavored to drown the unfortu
nate lady while she was taking a bath, and the
fingers of the younger prisonfir still bore marks
of a bite which she had evidently received from
Mlle. Chantereau while the latter was struggling
in the water. The crime , had apparently
been effected by means of blows on the
bead. The two women had then removed
a quantity of property to the railway station
to carry it off, and had finally set the house on
fire to conceal the murder and robbery. The
medical evidence showed that the head of
Mdlle. Chantereau must have been burnt, proba
bly to remove traces of the violence used, before
the body was placed on the bed where it was
found. The previous career of each of the two
women showed that they were of a dishonest and
depraved character. The daughter had already
undergone a condemnation to six months Im
prisonment for theft in a previous eitua
don, and when with another mas
ter had set fire to the apart
ment to conceal some dishonest act.. She had
borne a child, and since leavine M. Forest
had lived with a man in the same room which
her mother occupied. She showed great assu
rance on the trial, parrying the questions put to
her with some ability. The circumstantial evi
dence was, however, conclusive, and the priso
ners were each condemned to hard labor for life.
On hearing the sentence tee girl Fleutot, who,
had probably expected a capital punishment,:
could not restrain a smile of satisfaction, which
excited the indignation of the public present, and
some cries of ".Death ! death !" were heard from
the audience.
In the English House of Commons, on the 20th
July, Mr. Baines asked the Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs if it was true that Julian de Var
gas, a Spanish schoolmaster at Malaga, had been
imprisoned in a felon's prison since the 12th of
March, and was now under, .prosecution by the
Fiscal, who demanded a Sentence of 17 months'
imprisonment for having in his house a Span
ish Bible and Testament and a few French Pro
testant books not of a controversial character;
and whether he would use the friendly influence
of this Government with the Government of
Spain to obtain an abandonment of this religious
versecution, so calculated to offend the public
feeling of the rest of - Europe, where the rights of
conscience are acknowledged by the law of all
countries, Protestant, Roman Catholic, and, even
Mohammedan. ,`••
Lord Stanley said he believed thr is of the
Case were that a man named Fart a school
master at Malaga,had been in prisc.. %." am weeks
and was at resent under proseedli but there
was some discrepancy in the various statements
which had reached-him as to the precise nature
of the charge. If he understood it aright, the
charge was not for having Protestant books in
his possession, but that he, being a schoolmaster,
was alleged to have taught Protestant doctrine;
and the fact of his having these books in his pos
session was brought forward in support of the
charge. • The proceedings instituted were by the
local authoritles,and not by the Spanish Govern
ment. This was a very delicate matter for Her
Majesty's Government to meddle with,'Jecause,as
the man was a Spanish subject, they had no au
thority whatever to interfere. Any communica
tion between the two governments must be of the
most friendly character, and even in that case
they had to guard most carefully against even the
appearance of wishing to dictate to the Spanish
Government.. The only ground upon which
diplomatic action could be founded in 4 case of
this kind was that such proceedings tended to
create a'good deal of excitement among Pro
testant commtualties t which mil;•ht result in ill
feeling, and on that ground alone he had felt
hiMself_atliberty,.--In-a—friendly -and— unofficial
manner, to advise the Spanish Government to
deal with Vargas with as mech leniency as pos
sible under the circumstances. Beyond that he
did not think proper to go.

from behind the scenes, followed by the noise of
hurried footsteps and a cry of "Keep your places;
it is nothing ." The clothes of a femitio dancer
had caught fire, and in her terror she
had run about with her skirt in a blaze,
and bad thus set fire to some drap
ery at the wings; she was, however, firmly en
veloped in a linen cloth, and the flames of her
dress were extinguished before she had suffered
any injury. The alarm had, however, spread
among the spectators, and a general rush was
made to the doors; for a moment there was great
danger of loss of life from the pressure, but some
young men who were in the gallery above and
could see what was going on near the stage called
out that the fire was over. About half of the
spectators then returned to their seats,
while those who were nearest the door
left the building. The disaster bad in
deed. for a moment appeared to be at an end, as
the canvas on tire had been torn down and tram
pled under foot. But the flames had found in the
painted scenes and light woodwork an aliment
too favorable, and the flames again appearing,
the panic once more . became general, screams
were heard on all sides, several women fainted,
many, persons jumped from the windows on the
Staircase, and every' one made for the street,
leaving behind hats, shawls, umbrellas, dm For
niziately the theatre had been partly emptied at
the„first alarm,
and every one was able to get
away in safety. -
The scene outside was most curious. Thespec
tators might be seen, some with hare heads; and
others with clothes torn from their backs, harry
ing to and fro in search of friends or relatives.
The actors and actresses were in their costumes,
while some of the ballet girls. who had been sur
prised while dressing, were between two toilettes
—half civil and half theatrical. The flames in the
meantime had gained the pit and the galleries,
and as the interior of the house was constructed
of wood and canvas only, any attempt to cheek
the progress of the fire was useless; all that could
be done was to prevent the conflagration from
extending to the adjoining houses, and In a short
time nothing bat the blackened walls remained.
ORINIE.
TRAGIC AND MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.
Veiled Horsemen Appear before the
night, Seize a Illturderer and Hann'
(Flom the Memphis Avalanche of July - 2M
The town of Jacinto, the county seat of Tisho
mingo county, Miss., was the scene of a tragic
and mysterious affair' last Wednesday night,
which has been the subject of much comment
since.
Upwards of two weeks ago two white men,
known respectively as Williams and Bibb, and
noted as outlaws, were arrested by the joint ef
forts of the military and civil authorities for
something and lodged in the Jacinto jell. Two
weeks afterwards both escaped, bat on the fol
lowing day the dead body of Bibb was found in
the woods. It had been stripped of clothing, and
every circumstance tended to the belief that he
had.been murdered.
About the same time some horses were missed
in the neighborhood and tesquad of soldiers and
citizens commenced scouring the country for the
thieves. Suspicion naturally fell on Williams,
who was traces to near Eastport, on the Ten
nessee river, and captured by some soldiers.
One of the party recognized the clothinworn
by him as that belonging to Bibb when In Jail.
He was at once aceused of the murder, and
being closely questioned confessed both crimes.
Williams was taken to Jacinto and restored to
the communion of the kindred spirits he so sud
denly deserted.
About twelve o'clock last Wednesday night the
quiet streets of Jacinto resounded with the clatter
of horsemen, and a few moments after Wards a
dozen or fifteen men, finely mounted and =Fitted,
halted ha front of the only store in the place.
L&ud rapping brought a young man who slept
over the establishment to the window. He was
asked to admit the party. Hesitating, he was
assured no harm was intended him, but the party
intended coming in, and would break the dolr it
he persisted in refusing entrance, as it was neces
sary to procure a piece of rope. The bewildered
clerk now hastened to open the door, and sud
denly found himself confronted by several men,
so perfectly disguised that it was impossible to
recognize a feature of their faces. Obtaining the
rope ono offered payment, but the young man,
only too glad to be rid of his ghostly-looking
visitors, said he wanted nothing, but hoped they
would leave at once.
They left, rode rapidly to the jail and knocked
at the door until the jailor, Mr. Travis, C 31718 to
the window and demanded the cause of the sin
gular demonstration. " We want to got in," replied
one of the veiled horsemen; and upon the j•ulor'
refusal to grant permission the door was forced
open. He came down stairs and entreated them
to leave, but the leader terminated the parley by
calling out, Nos. 1, 7 and 9 will take charge of the
jailor, and Mr. Travis was suddenly seized and
prevented from any further demonstration.
The only other utterance of the leader was
"You've got a man we want," as he led the way
to the interior of the building. In the centre is a
large Iron cage, used to conNne dangerous prison
ers. The door was forced open, and several of
the veiled regulators entered. It contained three
negroes and two white men. The leader pointed
to one of them, the murderer Williams, who was
seized and borne outside. The three men de
tailed to guard the jailor remained with him a
few moments, but the others disappeared as sud
denly as they had come. Boon the jailor was left
alone.
At daylight. In the morning the news of the
visit of a masked mob to the jail became known.
and the Sheriff, Captain BealVatarted to ascer
tain the whereabouts of the prisoner. Com
mencing at the jail he traced the party by the
marks of the horses' hoofs upon the ground.
One hundred and fifty yards from the bailding
the road makes an abrupt turn at a lonely wooded
place. Looking np.from the ground a moment
when reaching the spot, he was startled at seeing
the body of the object of his search dangling
lifeless from the limb of a tree. He had evi
dently been dead several hours, for the form was
cold and rigid. No one was present to toll the
story. The work of the executioners had been
short and decisive, and the world contained one
less criminal.
Williams was once a Federal soldier, and came
to Corinth last year with a body of troops. He
was regarded as a bad man, and soon afterward
deserted. From that time up to his.death ho was
known as a thief and desperado, and on several
occasions the military had hunted him through
the swamps. Ho and Bibb were partners for a
long time. <Thelatter could hot have had any
money when murdered, and Williams would
hardly have - committed the crime for the few
pieces of clothing worn by his victim. It is more
probable that Bibb possessed information of
some dark transaction which Williams was deal-
roes of keeping from the light, well knowing
that "dead men toll no tales." The names of the
men who executed Williams'are unknown. There
are no Ku Klux in the county, and many believe
the "regulators" to have been soldiers,
—A Canada paper, speaking of the travel this
summer, says: "The tide of American travel Is
finding its way each year in larger volume down
our St. Lawrence and up the Saguenay, and this,
too, must steadily increase. The accommoda
tion afforded - the - travel erk now-of-a-very-excel
lent character, as well on this lake and upper St.
Lawrence as below Quebec and Montreal.'
—A justice in Wright county, Minnesota, la •a
case of an assault, of which he had no jurisdie
tion save to- commit the prisoner, -recently
rendered the following decision: "That the de
fendant give`his note, at ninety days, for costs of
suit and 11876—the latter to be equally divided be
tween school districta Nos.l and 6 and the Ltith
oran church." ' , -
—There have been but. two days this season
when the thermometer- at Nantucket _ has been
above 80 degrees. • -
