L CtTiltTtidtii. register of the United States Treasury older President Lincoln, w ii! contribute to iinrjxr'i M ia uhu for May tbe account of an ab-ioiiiteiy tiiiio,ue epistsie in the history tif our nati.ma! credit. The article is entitled ' Making United Stalest Bonds und-.ir pressure," and mime of the circumstances are now made public for the first time. Between 1.' o thick on a certain Friday in and 4 o'clock a. m. on the following Mor.dsy. Mr. Chittenden had to sign- twelve thousand five hundred bonds, to the amount of ten million dollars. Why this feat was necessary, and wbatwssac complisied by it. are told by the chief actor in it. If the several grand juries who condemn ed the old county jsil were in session at this time we doo t believe they would hesitate a moment about striking out the word " re pair" in their recommendations for a new prison hut would urge that theentiie build ing be toru down and a new one erected The resideuce portion of the prison which has been permitted to stand is totally inad equate fejr the requirements of moderate iz-d lamily and never can be made comfort able or convenient under the present plan. Its soft brick walls w ill always stand out iu bold contrast with the walls J the new jail and it will only be a few years until there is a general demand that it be torn down and a new residence buiit. Kvery tax payer who has visited town since the old jai! bas been leveled to the ground realises that a mistake has been made, but then hindsight always lias bes-n better than foresight. Now that the wtirk i under way and an entire new building could lie em terd at a:i additional eest of only two or lhr-e thousand dollar it s to be regretted that the county commis sioners bare not tbe authority to do it. Th) High School Csmmsnesmsnt, Tbe High School Commencement exerei.e in tbe Opera HonseThursday evening oflast week, drew one of the largest audiences of the season. Every seat on the lower floor, and in the gallery, was occupied. To say that everybody was pleased with the prompt nis with which Professor Cover carried out the carefully arranged program, is only to repeat what everybody says. Interesting as werw all previous commencements, this last one was an improvement on all former ones. The music, so skillfully rendered by the F.u terpean Band, and that of the cornet duet, gave universal satisfaction, and greatly con tributed to the enjoyment of the occasion, while the vocal solos of Miss Mamie S. C. Uhl brought the whole affair up to the equal, if not the superior, of the most irr.W rlit entertainments ever given in our town. As to the performances of the graduating clas, tbe general rerdict is that tbey all. Without single exception, reflected jjreat credit upon both tescheis and performers. From the salutatory to tbe valedictory, in cluding all tbe essays, orations and recita tieiiis, not only good judgment was shown in the selection of the subjects, but meritorious literary ability was displayed in composing them. One of the commendable. features in j getting them off was the clear, distinct man ner in which nearly every sentence was ut tered. Instead of mumbling the words, so as to be inaudible to half the audience, all were spoken as words should lie spoken. distinct and loud enough for everybody in the hall to hear. The topics discussed were so diversified that monotony was rigidly excluded, hence the patience of the large audience, instead of being exhausted, was not even put upon a strain. Frank Love's welcome words in the salutatory : Eva J. Shafer's tribute to wo manly women in opening her Pandora box, Charley Endsley's palpable hits at the slow coach processes of some of Somerset's Rip Van Winkles: Barnet J. Pie king's way of crossing the Rubicon ; Carrie Rhoads's cap ital sketches of the class ; Rob Beerits's I n elercurrenls ; Mary Fleck's unique origin al prophetic poem : Cieorge Benford's evolu tion of life by an Algebraic process : the cu-eness of the " Ich Dein " essay by Mary Davis; and Mary Kooser's appropriate vale dictory references made the occasion " a feat of reason and a flow of soul." liclieving in giving praise where praise is due, too much credit cannot be bestowed upon scholars, teachers, and trustees. Som erset has reason to be proud of her public schools, from the primary department up to the high school. The two and a half hours' exercises were chise-d by distributing the well-earned diplo mas, and by appropriate remarks by F. J. Kooser and L. C. Colborn, Trustees. J. M. Btrkey, County Superintendent, and V. H. Cover, Principal. For the Benefit of the Town. If cleanliness is one of tbe req iisites to wards securing and preserving the good health of a town or a community, then.it must be confessed that Somerset is in a bad shsiw in that respect, at least, for the town is about as dirty and filthy as it well can be. For this state of affairs the citizens them selves are largely to blarue. Many, perhaps most of them, seem to think that the proper place for them to dcosit the rubbish, waste ani refuse of any sort that accumulates about their places, is on the street. There is no plaee hks tbe street for emptying tbe ash pan. Do they clean up the yard or trim Kie trees into the street generally goes the rub bish. Does the family dog or cat happen to pick up a button in his travels that gives him a fatal spell of indigestion, into the street or gutter, as often as anywhere else, g sts hiscarcdss and so does much other ref use matter that ought to be disposed of oth erwise, t If course all citizens do not dispose of their waste in this manner, but many from whom better things might be expected do, and they do it without any regard for the ordinanevs. or how much of a nuisance it may be to their neighbors, or to the general pjblic. Another trouble is the defective system of drainage tbo only system being that of sur tao drainage. Under some circumstances and conditions this is well enough, and will answer. But the town has grown too large for any system of surface drainage to meet the requirements of the situation, and as long as surface drainage nlone is tleprnded on. just so long will the gutters and streets l in a more or less filthy condition, to the detriment of the public health, and the in jury of the town otherwise. It is admitted that there is more or less waste in every house-hold that must be got rid of in some way, and as things now are tbe only way is through the gutter and water Ubles. An inspection of these will everywhere show drains emptying into them from cellars, as well as from kitchen, etc., and from these list comes matter that speedily becomes very offensive. Much of it may justly be sustected of such a chamber that it should find its way into the privies and water clos ets, instoa I of the gutters. It is utterly im possible to keep the gutter and water tables in such a condition that all these things will readily run off. There must necessarily some of it remain to make them foul, and bad -smelling. It is evert strongly asserted that in one of the largest busi'iess houses on Main Cross street there is a privy, having a connection with the cellar drninage, ami which latter also receives part of the rain water from the spouting fro u the roof, which washes all this liith into the gutter on Main street, at the intersection of Court alley with Main st. If this is tru, is it any wonder that there was sickness in the east end of town last summer? And if such nuisatics as this does exist in the heart of the town, some way of abating it should be found. There are som? pirts of the town in which the present surl'-tce drainage may answer for a time, bat in many parts a good under ground sewerage system is imperitively de manded. In no other way can the town be kapl clean and healthy. Of coarse, an im provement of this sort will cost money, and a good bit of it, and we are wU aw trs of the fact that if such a thing is once seriously proposed, that a howl will be raised over the great expense. But it is bound to come it is only a question of time, and why not es tablish such a system now, and reap the ben efit of it at once. We have said that it was not needed for all parts of the town at the present time. Well, such parts need not psy anything. Only those need pay who get the benefit of such an improvement. Perhaps some people may want to know what steps should be taken to have proper sewers bnill. Some people may be Interested iu the matter. At least they ought to be, and we will give them information on the subject. The lyegislature at the session of '80 passed a law authorizing the town councils to have them put down whenever three-fonrths of the projieriy holders along a street would sign a petition asking them to do so, and gives them authority to assess tho cost of the same on all tli3 owners of property abutting on the street or line of the sewer, and compelling then to pay it. For in stance, let tbe people on tbe east end of Main street who are flooded with all of the waste and much of the filth of tbe central part of the town, start such a petition, and get all the signers they can, and come up towards the Diamond with it, and if they secure the required three fourths it can be built, and all property holders can be com pelled to connect their drains, whether cel lar or kitchen, with the main sewer, and thus have outlet for all their liquid waste, and getting rid of it wilhont mak ing it a nuisance to their neighbor. With a good system of sewerage we would certainly place the town in a better sanitary condition, and that alone is worth the cost, and the town would be the gainer otherwise. Somerset has always been a favorite resort for many city folks during the summer months, but of late years the town has been in such a condition that it is losing good deal of in reputation as a resort. There are other things which might be mentioned in which improvement might be made, and the town be all the cleaner, healthier, and more attractive to those who coma hera from abroad, and we hope that our people will not neglect to brighten and tidy op their places all around. X. Before the Pardon Board Remarkable Depositions In Be half of the Nicely Boys. The application of Joseph and David Nice ly for a coramntatiem of death sentence to imprisonment for life was argued before tbo State Board cf Pardons on Tuesduy and Wednesday of last week. The prisoners were represented by their original counsel, Wro. H. Koontx and A. H. Coffrotb, Erqs , of Somerset, supplemented by Lyman D. Gilbert and S. J. McCarrell, two of tbe lead ing attorneys of the Dauphin county bar, whiie the intereets of the people were guard ed by F. J. Kooscr. Esq., of Somerset, and Hon. John Cessna, of Bedford. Particular stress was laid upon the testi mony of one Dr. O. K Brown, whose depo sition was taken at Film Crove, West Vir ginia, about ten days previous to the meet ing of the Pardon Board, and which was submitted to the Board to show that the e-onviction of the murderers was due to a trick of Constable John ltauch, the officer who arretted them. Dr. Brown savs: " I asked Rauch how be convicted the Nicely boys. He answered : 'Easy enough ' I said: 'Did yon have any peisitive evidence against them T He laugh ed and said nothing. Again I said : 'How did you get along with the bat and pocket book that you got from the Nicely boys?' He said: 'I will tell you, Blown. I fixed the bat and wallet ; tbe hat I madea mistake iu ; I got the bole in tbe rim and should have had it in the crown. I fixed the wallet so nice that one of the women swore that she had not seen it for live years ami that l"mterger carried it in his bootleg with $15. O00 in it the greater part of the time and had not soiled the stitches.' 'How did yon get along with the two men's evidence that swore they saw the Nicely boys on the pike the night of the murder?' 'All right.' Ra-tch replied ; 'I was only afraid I had got the time too regular, but we knew tbe jurymen. They were not the Nicely boys' friends, you understand.' -Say, Rauch, what did you do with the first advertisement when the wom en described the murders?" He replied : 'Don't you forget it, I took good care that none of them was brought to the trial.' '8ay, Rauch,' I said, "you would not give away those two innocent men for the sake of the reward ; would you?' 'Yes. by , twenty," lie replied, and said further, 'Any man in the world.' To this absurd story counsel for the Com monwealth answered: 1. Thai J. O. Rauch had not testified alone to the condititin and apiearanee of the hat and pocketbook, but was supported by the testimony of Rufus Shaffer, Howattl Camp and Jos. W. Ambrose, and the case was fully made out if even Rauch were omitted from the list of witnesses. J. Raueh's election as constable ar.d his commission showing his appointment as special detective by the District Attorney, with the approval of the court of tnis coun ty, were offered as evidence of his character. 3. The rules of the Board of Pardons per mit and reqtiire depositions to betaken with in the county, and yet, with months of time and two hearings actually had on other questions in Somerset, tLey had failed to cail, and had not dared to call, my witnesses to assail his character. 4. That "Dr." Brown's deposition was taken in violation of both the general rule of the Board, requiring depositions to le taken iu the county where the crime was committed, and of the special rule for this case, ordering that it betaken in Charleston, W. Va , not later than 1st April, when in fact it wss taken in Elm Grove, in a differ ent county, on the 10th of April. .o. That counsel for Commonwealth did not know, and could not know, if the party who appeared and testified before the Justice in Elm Grove is the same fellow who in his brief career of several weeks in our county succeeded in getting himself in our jail for crime charged. 0. That Brown is a wandering horse doc tor, traveling this and adjoining counties, Maryland and West Virginia, whose papers stale he is from Boston, Mass , and whose deposition fixes his home at Cleveland, O. ; that iu his career of several weeks in this county he succeeded in having a warrant issued against him by Mr. William Baldwin for procuring horse by false pretenses and fraudulent representations, and Con stable Raucb. in execution of this warrant, followed him through Bedford into Fuiion county, w line he arrested him and brought him back: and that it was on hit. return with this fellow under arrest that this ab surd story is alleged to have been told to bis prisoner. 7. The affidavit of Deputy Sheriff McMil ien shows that this '-Doctor" was kept in our jail eleven days, and secured his dis charge by some settlement of the case ; that he restored the horse to Mr. Baldwin and left the connty. 5. That since the trial of the case, and but a week before the argument at Harrisburg. Mr. Kooser had taken the depositions of rrri additional witnesses of high standing at I.igotiier t which were offered and read) showing that Joe Nicely had worn n bn an derby hat. as tiese-ribed, with a piece out of the rim, before the murder, and that it was in that same condition the night of his arrest. 'J. That the story on its face was the sheer est absurdity, impossible that it could be tme if even told to Brown ; incredible that it should be told a prisoner under arrest ; wholly improbable, both from the character of the witness and the labored eSort of the witness to get even willi Mr. Rauch. i s shown by the face of the deposition and its studied effort at detail. Lincoln Shaulis, in a deposition, also de tailed an alleged conversation with Rauch, iu which the latter said be bat! set tip some of the essential evidence in the case. A number of the most reputable citizens of Somerset county furnished testimony in depositions that Shaulis' character for truth and veracity was bad in this county, where he had worked at saw mills for number of years. liefepdanU' counsel attempted to establish his good character by witnesses who had known him in Westmoreland county, but cross-examination develoed that most of these witnesses lived five or six miles away from his father's home, while many of them didn't know where his home was, and that since 1S.H1 Lincoln Shaulis had only been at home one summer, when he assisted his father on the (arm, and on sun dry brief visits during this period of nine years, and in fact he had been a comparative stranger to the neighborhood situe his boy -hotii). A large number of petitions, signed by people living along the line of the Pennsyl vania and B. & O. Railroads, in Westmore land county, praying for a commutation of sentence, were presented to tbe Pardon Board. The names of only a few, if any. residents of Somerset county were attached to these petitions. A number of commu nications were submitted to tho Board from lawyers in Westmoreland, Indiana and Somerset counties, some of whom were rrlainrd by the defendants, and none of whom appeared in the trial of the case, ask ing for a commutation of the death penalty to imprisonment for life. The mysterious self-confessed actor in the horrible drama which cost Herman Umber ger his life, figures In another letter in the interest of the condemned. Tbe Board of Pardons over a month ago received (letter dated Chicago, and signed " F. 11. 8," in wliich the innocence of the Nicely brothers was proclaimed, and the writer's guilt was admitted, and four unnamed persons were implicated. There is no date to the last letter, which is addressed to A. II. Coffrotb, and reads thus : " I have learned you are one of the Nicely brothers' attorneys, and I can't abstain from writing on account of the bunlen which is weighing opon me, but I am confident the Nicely brothers are inno cent. I am one that was implicated. In it there were five of us. The reason I write I am sure that one of tbe Frty will never be convicted of tbe murder. Do all you can 'for them. Now I am on my way to that country where no traveler ever returns.'' A Pleasant Surprise.

Cunning for Pirates on Chesapeake.' tho Friday last Mr. Will rkkinff, Traveling Passenger Agent of the B. & O. R. R. accom- patiied by Geor-re and Boh, tbe two young men who uso the seu-sors and paste oml shove the peucils on this paper, left for Baltimore, where they joined three other gentlemen on a trip to Old Point Comfort, Va , and thence to sea on a Pilot Boat. At 6 p. m. Saturday evening the little party of six embarked on one of the Bay Line steam- ere and were soon steaming down tbe Chesa- peake at the rate of twenty miles an hour. ne gen a better idea of the business done In Baltimore from the deck of a muring steamer than from any other point of obser vation. A thousand vessels lay alongside as many docks unloading and receiving car goes that could not fail tolimpre tbe ob server that Baltimoreg.sets'thcreJ just tbe same although she don't boast much about tbe great business she does. These large steam vessels are "eye open ers" to the country Jake who has never been accustomed to navigating a larger bdy of water than Kantner's dam. The cabins are luxuriantly furnished with the most inviting easy chairs and divans, handsome paintings and ornamental carvings. The en tire ship is lighted up by electricity. But the most euticiting part about the boat is the dining room. "Ob, let's talk about any- i thing else than things to eat." All right, new U. 8. man-of-war Baltimore, completed but spring chickens and strawberries don't ' the day, and after indulging i:i a mint julep rippen in Somerset county in April. We j to see "what was what and who was who," rpent so long a time discussing the bill j we again went aboard the steamer after of fare that it was too dark when we got on ! assuring ourselves that there were no pirates deck to see anything, but the "lights along ' abeard and began the return voyage, shore," and after disposing of a half-dozen i The rain was coming down in torrents tobies we sought the "shelter that the cabin ' and a'i outside was black as ink when Cupt. grants" and shortly afterward our state- Coleman tiade us good bye and left the boat rooms where we fouud as comfortable beds j at Old Point. Our little party had collected and just as neat and clean as we are accus- on the poop deck to catch a la-t glimpse of turned to in our country homes. j the lights on board the Baltimore, when At day-break a porter rapped us up to suddenly through the dense gloom came a dress as we were Hearing Old Point. Thejcryof "Isaiab '. ho. Is t'sh !" and the music hour was an unusual one lor any of tbe , al reply, "All right. Captain Bob; i'se members of our party to arise, but all were jcomin'." repaid tor the unkindly vexation caused by I "Tarn the lichts dw3 low tonight, the porters knuckles, when the morning's i Isaiah ; I'm tired walking the leek." sun iieeped above the waves. On the warf we were met by Captains Coleman and Met 'lay and were conducted to I their row boat near by and soon were bounce itig over the foaming billows to the two masted schooner pilot boat, Baltimore. ( nco on board tbe schooner all ham Is "cast their eyes aloft to see what they could see and there they espied the pretty fair ' rays of "Old Sol" kissing the tops of the waves iu the far east and painting them a thousand brilliant colors. Captain Bjb Mcf'lay "swore he never would tell" how many suns he had seen come tip iu the heavens. and he didn't strike tut as being excessively modest, but he vowed thut he had nfverseen a prettier sun rise than on that Sunday morning. The boat was soon gotten nnder way and not long after nine o'clock we had rounded Capes Henry and Charles and were well out to sea. A mountaineer experience mighty q jeer sensations just about the time he is aixiut to pass out of sight of land. I wish I could explain mine. But we got there, and had not sailed far when we sighted the steam pilot boat which headed for us and was soon along side. A cumber of tbe pilots came abroad pur craft and partook of a mild da coction that the colored chemist, Isaiah, skillfully aud rapidity compounded. Tbe pilots of the Chesapeake bay have an organization of about fjrty members. They own the vessel our party was aboard, and the steam vessel that we met. Tbe schooner plies between Old Point and the capes, while the steamer never comes inside. Under ex- tsting laws no ship is permitted to enter port without a pilot on board. The steamer supplies the in-coming ships with pilots, while ttie schooner in turn supplies the steamer. The pilots are all young men of good education and birtb, and most of them are ready to retire from business when they reach the age of fifty. After tbe steamer left us we run within two or three miles of shore, and as the wind was unfavorable to return to the Point, cast anchor. Tbe evening was delightfully warm, and all bands whiled away the hours sing ing and smoking. A breeze sprang up dur ing the night, and before three o'clock Capt. Coleman had his boat under way, and by daylight we were in sight of Hampton Roads. The deserted " ripraps" looked very gloomy in the morning's grey, but the Gov ernment school-ship "Jamestown," anchor ed in front, was all alive. It was wash-day j on board, ami the would-be sailor boys had i the rigging filled with linen, which, at our ; distance, looked like a display of the flags of ; all nations. The great, silent guns ou the ' rortre-ss wans irowned down on us as we sailed und'ar them, when further observa tion was cut off by a call from Isaiah, "break fas is rady. Mastah Captain." A most delicious breakfiist of fresh sea fish. crabs and oysters was served and dispatched, after which all hands donned " biled shirts" and went ashore, anchor having been cast immediiktely in front of the Hygcia Hotel. This hotel is an immense structure so large, in filet, that invalid boarders are conqielled to ride to the dining-room on horses, so far is it removed from the sleeping apartments. A large, open wagon conveyed our party over tbe Point to historic Hampton, where are located a United States Indian School, and a Colored Normal School, in both of which the boys and girls are taught trades. The grounds and buildings are kept in the same neat and cleau repair that Uncle Sam keeps all his private posses sions. The day was balmy and fair ; such a one as we in the mountains are wont to call rare in June. The roses in the gardens were in full bloom ; the leaves on the mag nolia trees more than half grown, while the magnolias themselves were just about ready to unfold their petals and send forth their sweet perfume. Indian boys and girls dressed in civilians clothes are no more of a curiosity than are colored children, but s iraehow or other '"Dan's" searching eye-s discovered severat Pocahontases reposing on the green sward. Hamptot. is decidedly an interesting town, and. one of its most interesting spots is St. Paul's Church built by the English colonists almost two hundred years ago. The edilh-e itself shows no signs of decay and is kept in excellent repair. After a half hour in the churchyard, loitering among the grave stones, reading the quaint inscriptions over old fellows who have been under the ground for'more than a century, we returned to Old Point and went inside the Fortress. Fort ress Monroe ia the largest and strongest fortification owned by this government, and contains several hundred acres inside the j ramparts, aneeniirs ronress is surrounueu by water, an artificial channel separating it from the land, over which foot bridges are suspended, that can hastily be removed in case of an attack. Right inside the entrance is the old bast ile iu which Jeff Davis was imprisoned after bis capture. Members of our party expressed themselves as not be ing averse to soldiering provided tbey could be stationed at Monroe during the term of their enlistment. A light rain prevented us from witnessing dress parade in the evening and from making an examination of the I guns. However they struck us as being too heavy for fowling pieces. The military band furnishes music in the hotel ball-room six nights in the week, and the scene of gayety it presents to the un sophisticated eye is one long to be retuetn- be red. After watching the merry dancers , till near midnight, onr party again repaired 1 on board the Baltimore, where a court mar- ' tial was at once convened to try friend ''Dan" on a charge of having left the boat ' without permission. Herr Lemeback was ! elected Judge Advocate, but further proceed- ! tags were cut short by the prisoner pleading ! guilty, and falling on his knees begging for j time to say "my catechism." The sentence ! of the court, ' to be keel-hauled from stem I to stern,' was indefinitely postponed, and j all bands turned in for a good night's rest, j About 3 a. ra. the entire crew was disturb- I ed by a yell from the Doctor, wbo cried I p'rie ail All were out uf their bunks in uu iu.-Uut, ana on de:fc, to find on our pou si ' one of the preiliest yjoMs that Hn.it.. the property of a wealthy New Vofksr, who was returning from a cruise in Sotitnern waters.

Tuesday morning we took a bay line boat for Nor folk, ten miles distant ncr-a the bay. Dur ngt the trip across Captain Coleman kindly pointed out the positions of the Merrimac and Monitor in the historic er.gagemet.. that took place in those waters, ami told us many details of that memorable engagement. Norfolk is a busy liltie city, with narrow streets and quaint old buildings. Here, too. is located an English church, many years older than the one at Hampton. Way up in the outer wall of this sacred ed:fice is a cannon bail, lodged there by a. British gun, in the war of the revolution.
