Alison Wit ter, a young man well known to
most of our citizens, died at. Berkshire, N. Y.,
on Saturday Aug 20, 1881, abed 23 years. Bo
for'e leaving this,place some weeks Since, he
had been a suffeter for several mouths from
rheumatic fever:Trona which thougtrpartially
improved in its general features disease of
the heart was developed and -of which he
died.
The career of this young man was somewhat
remarkable. Before be was twenty-two years
of age he had passed throrigh every stage of
degredation not to say crime.- For two 'years
prior to his convertion to the religion of Jesus
Christ, which Lectured in Ithaca, N. Y.,
something More than a year ago, he was a
tramp; sleeping •in the • open air npuu the
ground, and living the life of an outlast.
The exposure inciant to such a life, uo
doubt sowed the seedier the disease of w.b ich
he died.' After his conversion lie manifested
so radical a change of heart, and his daily
walk and conduct was eo thoroughly in keep
ing with his profession, tat his ora friends
and acquaintances again gave him their con
fidence and aided inns to find honorable em
ployment: He was naturally, intellectually
bright,, and of pleasing manners and address,
and - for,several months during the forepart of
last, -year he conducted religious services in
the .jail on Sunday for the benefit of the
prisoners.- He found employment as a clerk
in one of our stores, WA) the time his health
failed and so far as we know rendered satis
factory Service. We have never heard his
integrity. impeached. It is seldom that so
radical Ai change for the better occurs: . in the,
life of ttiose who have fallen so low, as did
this young man. It is greatly to his credit
that he-was able to' assert the elements of
true cbristian manhoiid within him and by
the help of the Master to whom he - looked for
forgivenesti gain a. Mastery over the evil
course into which he had so early fallen. He
died filled with the Christian's hopr.

A Beautiful Painting. '
Mrs. Hannah Park Lewis, wife of Jackson
Lewis, of Wyalitsing,has painted for Mr.
and Mrs. G. S. Ackley a very fine, life-like
portrait of their little son, five years old, who
died in April last of inflammation of the brain,
the result of a fracture, of the skull from the
kick of a horse nearly a year previous. The
painting is in oil upon canvass 25 by 30
inches, and is a piece dthighly artistic work.
The artist has brought out a perfect likeness
with a beautiful back-greund. the colors be=
lug so harmoniously blended as to present a
most lovely picture. The painting will com
pare favorablo • with thciiie of the very best
artists. We learn that Mrs. Lewis is produc
ing some vermeritorious artistic paintings,
in the way of portraits at very modeiate
prices. •
TILE SALARY ODE MIXON
MR LEDITOR:—I am infOrnied and (I sup
pose correctly, for I have not the Auditor's
report before me), that the 'county Commis
sioners fixe d the - pay of the Treasurer of the,
bounty at a little over eighteen hundred. dol
lars, for the first year, and for the second year
of. his term they pay over three thousand
three hundred dollars. This they do with the
provision of, the Constitution staring them
plainly iu tau face. which says thitt the Com
pensation once fixed shall not be increased or
diminished during the time-for which the in
cumbent shall have been elected. I•am aware
that they try to justify themselves 'under the
plea that they fixed . the percentage at a cer
tain rate for receiving the county funds, and
a certain percentage for paying it out, and
that being governed by that rate the second
year of his term Made"the enormous sum of
more than $3,300 dollars. This can be re
garded in. no other light than an' utter die-.
regard of the interest of the tax payers. The
plain interpretation of the'Constitution would
give the Treasurer the same compensation
for the second and third years of. his term,
that he got the first year, and no more. It
is a strained legal constructions, against.
common sense and common honesty and de-,
cidodly againat.the interest of the tax payers
of the county. It may be that they have
been led to do this act of injustice In the tax.
payers by bad advice and acted lionesty. ! If
so, then let them hasten to correct the error,
before they ask for.a re-election by a wronged
constituency. • • •
-
Permit me to ask what is compensation
under the plain meaning of the Constitution ?
Is it anything more or less than dollars and
cents? When they had determined the
amount they would pay tie Treasurer ander
a rule adopted by themselves and that
amount was ascertained to be. eighteen hun
dred dollars, more or less, it was the
end of it: The compensation was fixed and
could not be legally increased or diminished
during his term of office.
All the sophistry of interested friends and
legal. advisers cannot ove:turn this plain,
honest interpretation of the language ofthe
Constitution.
I am quite well aware that the position here
taken will be ridiculed by the parties inter
ested in getting money out of the treasury
whether justly or inJustly, yet at! the same
time will admit it is correct, and promise to
correct the wrong.in the future, but to what
extent -gentlemen? That is the question.
The tiople will demand that the pay of the
county Treasurer shall not exceed one thous
and dollars, and I trastithe Republica n Con
vention will have the ; good sense to pass.
resolution requiring ttie candidttes to pledge
themselves to not pay more tha i nla thousand.
Competent men in the
.6ounty *Mid be glad
to take it for this amount° It is high time to
start a reform boom in Bradford.

in the chnstraction of each.
