The auditors appointed by the county
court a year ago to make an audit of the
Luzerne county finances for the past
. seven years have finished their labors..
•It reveals a record of official dishonesty
unparalleled in the previous history of
the county and shows how for seven years
past the commissioners, treasurers, clerks,
sheriffs and others - have stolen boldly
large'6llllB from the treasury. The thefts
took all possible shapes, such as bogus
contracts, chaliging recorde, altering
figures; retaining taxes. Positive proof
was furnished by the creditors of $50,-

The engineers employed by the Lehigh
Valley railroad had quite a large meet
ing on the 'nth of May at Philipsburg,
N. J. The meeting, was attended by ,
nearly all the brotherhood engineers em
- ployed on the Amboy. and Lehigh divis
ions of the'road and also by delegates
froin the Wyoming division. and the
Pennsylvania and New York road. .The
object of the
. meeting was to take some
action relative to the reduction of wages,
as announced by the company to take of
-feet on the let of June. The proceed
lugs were, very harmonious, as far
. as
could be ascertained, but wereliot made
,public. it is, however, apparent that
they are . in earnest, and that there will be
a strike, if not already determined upon.
ft is understood the cOmpany, anticipat

to meet- it and preyent any:serious in ter

A.large acreage of corn is planted and is

• The New York Methoclid reads a horn
ily-to capitalists. on their duty i n times
of trouble, and how laboring tne'n should
act under-the same circutustar,ces. The
editor says "Critical times will .come
to both labor and capital, tor the men
are relatively helpless, They should not
come to such emergencies utter , pover
ty,-every.
.
ty,-every laborer should have his small
fund for the evil da,y. 'Oat if, it last long
capital will have to bear lt special burden:
Make mirk for idle linen. Offer them
what you can clearly fi'fford to pay. There
is always some price which you can pay
a certain number of. men to work. Youi,
,latest interest, is •to keep the idle emplok
ed.and the hungry . fed. Take the larg•
est view of yotr interests." To apply
this sound advice, directly, it maybe said
there has not been ititne-in twenty years
when buildi.ig impi - ovements- can be so
cheaply ca4ied on. Montrose and its
vicinity as the present.

The day of the Madison. Wells Return•

return, and there is, even a fair prospect
that the election in that state in,Novem
ber last will be re-opened, by a new
Baoftl of Canvassers created under a law
passed by the egislature recognized by
Mr. Hayes. This Board met Saturday in
New:Orleans, and commenced counting
the returns from the parishes of St. Mar
tin - and New Iberia, • which were no
counted by the Packard Returning Board.
The boxes from those parishes, were not
counted, it is -alleged, because they were
received too late, and the count.now will

Testimony taken by the Committee to
investigate :the wbrk]ngs of the Bureau
of Engravings and Printing in the Treas
ury Department, says the special corre
spondent of the Pittsburg . Post, on which
JeWell was removed and McPherson ap
pointed - as Chief of the Bureau, shows a
fearful-state of affairs. It is alleged that
the testimony of some of the female eni
ployes was to the effect that they 'were
appointed, not because their services to
the Govelliment was an object, but either
they had yielded to the sensual appetite
of . the head of the Bureau,, or were the
objects , of , his design. The testimony
ten& to, show that the Government has
been supporting a harem for Jewell and
such friends as he saw fit to share with
him its benefits. Secretary Sherman is
said to be - so 'much ,surpmed at the evi 7
dence adduced that he is inclined to keep
is from the public if lie can.= In this
corase he is doing an injustice to snch.
estimable women as are in the depart
tnent, and. they are quite indignant that
they should he , open' to , suspieion ; for
while the report of the Committee is kept
quiet, they feel that the good - suffer with
the bad, especially from the shafts of
scandal hurled at them, by innuendo at
least, from the gossips. If the Engrav
ing Bureau ,has been, run as a bagnio,
and the' facts have been elieited, the truth
should come out,

The Son Serpent ot,lligtory Caudtet
. ,
A most extraordinary. event - has . oc
curred at Oben which' I give in detail,
havinglieen au eye:witnesz, to.the whole
affair. I allude to' the' standing and cap-
tiire of the venerable sea serpantin front
of the Caledonian hotel, George street,
Oben. About 4 o'clock yesterday'an an
mat or fish, evidently of gi g antic size,
was seen sporting in the bay near Heath
er Island. .Its appearance evidently per
plexed a large , number of spectators
assembled\ on the pier, and several tele
scopes were directed . totvdrd it. A care-
fdl look satisfied U 9 that it was of the
serpant species, it was carrying its head
fully twenty-five feet above the water. A
ndmber of boats were. soon lawiched and
.
- -
prodeeded.to the -bay,- the, crews' armed
'with,'such *eapona as could.be got.
der the directions 'of kalColth Nicholson„,
Our : boaiman,they headed the - .monster;
and Seine - of , the boats Were Within thirty
yards - 4 it when - lt suddenly . sprang half
length Out of the water and made for
the opening. A random fire fronj seyeral
VolunteLrs - with rifleS . - seethed. to have
effect upon it.. Under Mr. Nicholson's
orders the boats now, ranged. across the
entrance of the bay. and by their screams
and. shouts turned. the -Monster's Course,'!
and it headed directly for the breast wall
of the:Great-Western hotel. - One boati!
containing Mr. Oampbell,..the Fiscal, had'
11, most n4rroW:.e.scape; the animal actually
rubbing againgt it. Mr. Campbell and
his brother jimped overboard; Mid were'
picked.up by Mr., John . .0 - .l3ardie. sad.
dler, in hrs ma:l-yacht; the Flyiit Bcocl.
Th animal seigned thbroughly frighten
ed, arid as .the beati closiAl . in the volun
teers- were unable to tire; owing - to the
crowd, asiembled on shOre,_ At a little
past six-:the monster struck the ground
on- the beach' in - front: of •.the Caledonian
hotel, in George street, and .his.propqr
lions ,were now fully viSible. •
- In his frantic exertions; with - his tail sweeping the bach„ no one dared ap
proach. The Stones were flying in all
directions one. .seriously Injuied. a man
called Barney Barrow,and another break
ing the window of the Commarcial-hank.
A party of t volunteers under Lieutenant
David :Mer4fe no.iv assembled and fired
volley after 'volley into the neck, accord
ing.to the,directioa of Dr. Campbell,who
did not wish, for -scientific, reasons,. that
the configuration. 'of the head :shoed be
dainaged. As there was 'a bright moon
this continued till nearly ten o'clock,
'when Mr. .Stevens, of the Commercial
band, Waded in and fixed -a strong rope
to the nitwit's head, and by:the exertion
of some seventy folk it was sedately drag-.
ged above high _Water mark. Its exact
appearance as it lies -on 'the beach - is •as
follows : The extreme lenght. is . 101 feet
and the thickeSt part is about . 25 feet in
circutriference, - At this part is '• fixed
,pait of fins, whic . lpi

It is estimated 'that' as *a result of the
drought in California, from :one-half to
two thirds of. the sheep in that state have
perished from starvation. The ranchers
have all endeavored to get their- animals
to the mountains in time.' to nye .them,
but their efforts, in most cases, haye been
unavailing. One large stock raiser start- .
ed'with over 3,000 sheep, and 'the life
less carcasses of over .2,500 Of them now
mark the route ,taken. Thousands npon
thousands Of unclaimed dead and dying
sheep cover the plains, and hundreds of
sheep and lambs fall into line behind the
wagon of the traveler and folloW, in the
hope of getting a morsel of hay. One
man from the
,San:` JOliquin, valley hist
every sheep be Iliad--eleveu thensand—
during a storm, and went home a.-penni
less.man. Another, an Italian, thought
he could save the cost - of ferrying his
sheep across the Toulainne river by swim
ming then", and 800 were drowned in the
attempt. Another man east of ,Visalia,
despairing of ever,,,octting_, his sheep to
where there was feed, turned 12,000 out
to starve., If he undertook to.drive them
to the mountains. manyi' - of them must
die of starvation. before reaching ,there,
heo,ause there is no feed on the way, and
then when the niountains are reached-, 1
all the good feed is alr(4tdy taken up by
men who hold. possession, shot gun in
hand, and who are 'desperate enough to
tight to the death. 'There will probably.
be a good many cases of bloodshed and
death in the mountains this summer, andl
