We think there should be a change in uur municipal government. We have special charges to make against u > on> t ot. there surely is misman¬ agement somewhere. Our streets are rougher than th*- roads leading iDto the city ; the cemetery has been tn a fearful condition all the year; no oil in our lamps and but little money in ihe treasury. Reform and im¬ provement is needed. County Treasurer. It would be a source of considera¬ ble gratification to our people to have the county treasurer publish a staiement of the money received by h m and what for; how it was paid out, who to and what for. The peo¬ ple have a right to know what goes with their money and it would cost but little to gratify them. The Weekly. We will state for the benefit of the raaDy w lio seem to have a great, in te.est in this paper, its editor and its management, that it will continue to be run at its present office, upon the same terms as heretofore, but some¬ what improved. It will be th bought organ of no party, man or measure ; it and its editor will ask favors of no man, men or corporation, bat will grant a I in their power. The paper is able to take care of itself in every res, eet and will pay no more attention 1 o th -insinuations and lies of its lit¬ tle brained enemies than to the bark¬ ing of so many mangy curs. THE AVERAGE WOMAN’S aGE. I recollect how grieved I was When Cousin Amy married; I thought hei very cruel because Eor me she had not tarried. She gave to my affection green Encouragement in plenty, For I was under seventeen And she was five-and-tweuty. Fair Amy is a widow now, Her sorrow fast outgrowing; ’Tis very singular, I vow, The way the years are going. With me at allegro rate; With her, a graceful lente— Now I am insuring thirty-eight And she is s-.x-and-twenty I should be gratified to know How others, like my cousin, A twelve-Hiomh older only grow, One year in half a dozen. Oh Ohronos, tell the secret to me. The power superhuman, That causes time with man to flee But bids it wait with woman? Ayer’s Sarsaparilla acts directly and promptly to purify and enrich the blood, improve the appetite, strengthen the nerves, and brace up the system.

Lost I—A small nurse containing one “gold issue’’ twenty dollar bill. The finder will be liberally reward¬ ed by leaving the same at this office. Hawkins writes a long article on “ How we Stand. ” Had the article appeared a few years earlier it would have made us curious as to its con¬ tents.

There will be no exceptions. --— mmrn- mttm, - Ilow TO GET A PUBLIC OFFICE.

A NOTABLE BOOK. Pictorial History, Romance and Philosophy of Celebrated American Criminals. Among the announcements of new publications for the present season is one embracing the tragedy of Ameri¬ can history from the foundation of the republic to the present day. American History has in every pe¬ riod been distingvisbed by startling phases. Boldness of conception, breadth of plan, energy of execution, tenacity and courage characterz her anna'-s. These traits are illus* trative not only of her laudable achievements, and of those who ad¬ vance her civilization—her com¬ merce, schools, cburche*—her mate¬ rial, moral and intellectual pro peri ty, but they characterize as well those whose efforts have been to pull down and destroy. That the latter consti¬ tute a material portion of that histo¬ ry, one ot necessary instruction and interest to every thoughtful reader and student who would be informed in bis country’s annals, is a fact which all will recognize. “The proper study of mankind is man ” wrote the Poet and Moralist, Alexander Pope. This work pre* sents man, the moKfc ecu p ps of all Subjects, in bis startling phase*, and as a feature of American history, apt in its scope and design, it is of ab¬ sorbing interest. Gibbon picturing truly the crimes, effeminaccy and lasciviousn ss of the later Roman Em pin—Gillia pointing ont the terr.ble degeneracy of t ie demagogues of Athens, and Hum" pic Bring ’lie brute 1 crimes of Eng¬ land <>i the 111 h, 14th and 15th cen¬ turies, performed the part of wise teachers in warning their country¬ men against similar lapses from the stra ght and narrow p- ths of* honor, honesty and truth. In a similar spirit has the author of “History, Romance and Philosophy of Great American Crimes »nd Criminals” portrayed the typical crimes and criminals ot the various eras of our country. The work is in the nu u Biograph¬ ical anti embraces among others the Crimes and Conrpi;a<ies of John A. Murrell, the great South-western Land Pirate; the Gigantic Schemes of Col. Monroe Ld wards, the Napo¬ leon of Forgers, etc., etc.; the Moun¬ tain Meadow Massacre; Murders and Burglaries of Ruloll, the Great Phil¬ ologist: the Murder of Dr. Park man by Prof. Webster; the Cunningham* Burdell Mystery; the Lowery Gants, the Swamp Angela of North C rol - na; the Colt-\dams Murder; Hi l Evans Feud in Kentucky; Carerr of Cul en Baker, the Arkansas I> * pe radp; the Belt n Jewett-Frank Rivers Murder; Ben Fhompson, of T*xas, the Man-Slayer; the Bender Family, the Kansas Fiends; James and Younger Brothers, etc., etc. Its pictorial feature is one of move than usual attraction—embracing 161 superb engravings including personal portraits of the celebrated critn na’.s. It is sold by subscription. The canvassing agent for such a work will find the latcbstring out, and a patronage that will mate bis busi¬ ness assuredly profitable. N. I). Thompsou & O'-., St. Lonis, Mo., and New York City are the enter prising publishers. We advertise t,heui in another coin mo. Tribute of Respect. The committee appointed by the superintendent of this Sunday school to draw up a suitable tribute to the mem ry of MissLatie Anderson, beg leav to submit the following: It is with sad hearts that we at tempt to express our appreciation of her character. Ami hie and cheer¬ ful she was a favorite with all ot her associates. At home and at school she was always the same obedient and affectionate child ; ever ready to speak kind words and perform acts of kindness that only loving hearts suggest and loving bauds can do. She died when just blooming into womanhood, but her short life had been well spent Under the influence of home religion, aided and directed by the instructions ol die Sabbath school and the services <>f the ea ct uary, Katie gave her heart, and life to Jesus when she was about twelve years of age. The gentleness and purity of her life demonstrated the sincerity of her professions, and the beauty of her Christian character en¬ deared her to all who knew her. She was sick only a short time and suf¬ fered much, but she was submissive to the will of God and not afraid to die. Surely she did no» live in vain nor did she die in vain ; for, short as her life was ; she had shown all the beauty of a lovely 8; irit, had made many friends on earth, and. we con¬ fidentially be'ieve, she has secured, through faith in Jesus, a homo in Heaven, where we hope to meet her “ in the sweet by-and-by. ” Theretore bo it resolved, 1. That, in her death, the caurch, the Sabbath s«-ho >], the home circle and the community, have lost a e loved and useful member. 2. That we tender onr heartfet sympathies to the he eaved family and pray God to j/raut them gre,c to sustain and Comfort them, in this and all other trials ot life, a, d p re • pare them to meet Kaiie in Heaven. 3. That w- will mr cherish her memory a* d, while we „&dlv 3j.'Ss her sweet face from our m dst, we feel that our loss is lie eternal gain 4. iliat this r port he spread uiion the minutes of the Sabbath school, that a copy he furnish d the bereav¬ ed parents and the city papers be rc quested to publish it.
