Editoh Staii: As it has been a little over four months since you have had a regular correspondence from Bainbridge, 1 thought 1 would write a few lines, and give an account of myself to the many renders of The Star: Perhaps some of your many readers cont( mplato emigrating to the West. To all who do expect to go West, I would say: If you go to Kansas, don’t go more than two hundred miles beyond the eastern boundary line of tho Slate, ami J you will find as nice a country as there 1 is anywhere. But my opinion is that j Smith county is far enough west, as it is; getting too close to the mountains, furth- ‘ cr west, to get much rain. In fact, they I do not get much rain there until tho snow on the mountains begins melting in the spring, from the 1st to the ’Ji'th of June, which makes it too late for early vegeta-
tion.

Ninety head have alreaey been delivered, the average weight being 1,660 pounds. Kaf The young ladies gave a leap year reception and danAe at the residence of Mrs. Ames, on East Washington street, Thursday night. From those’ in attendance we learn that (his occasion was one of tho most enjoyable and best arranged affairs ever given In this rity— in fact, judging by report, the ladies are m .e gallant and attentive when acting a. u escorts than* the young men themselves.

BSaS^Kva, daughter of Mr. David Stanley, died at the family residence in this city on Thursday last, of scarlet fever, after a short illness of only four days. Another daughter, Lillie, is also alllicted with the same disease. At this writing tho symptoms are that she will recover. fciV-A curious sickness attacked a lady of this city, which for a time seemed to bntllo treatment and proved difficult to diagnose, was brought to our notice Monday, three days after tho case so far developed itself that its identity was fully determined. The disease was hydatid tumor of tho womb, and is of very rare occurrence. This variety of tumor is simply a mass of watery vesicles, unattached to the tissues, of parasitic formation, and in the present instance weighed* about thirty pounds.

On last Saturday night William Daggy made a speech at temperance meeting, which was characterised by rare good sense. He said that tho liquor trallic is legally right, and that it is not right to denounce a liquor-seller as long as his business is legalized by law. That the law should be made odious, and not the man whose business is protected by the law. He also said ho would defend the saloon-keeper in his lawful rights as far as he could (meaning, of course, as

trustee record. It is on their papers taken from this office last January. It is on the settlement. settled with the is on the warrants in.ii . inifti.-/ said trustees, find it is also on Mr. lliliis’s books in Henry Kenick’s own handwriting. If Mr. Ililiis has not paid out thi.i money, ho should come beiore the Board and do so, for it is set down to his credit. Mr. Henick, in the face of these facts, I hurl your slander back. After tho child is born it ii too late to squeal, Mr. Henick says to the people that the Auditor makes these Anal settlements of the out-going Treasurer. That it was in my handwriting. That I verified its correctness, and should have found this mistake. The law requires the Treasurer to turn over tho duplicate co the Vounty Auditor, November and April, and call over all uncollected taxes, item by item. Those are dedu<*teJ from tho total duplicate, and apportioned hy tho Auditor to tho .State, countv, township and other different funds, and charged up to the Treasurer, amounting to about fcliT'.OOU per year. This work takes about two months of work. This is according to law ami settlement sheets and forms laid down by the Auditor ol State, Mr, Fanow had collected taxes trom the dd Monday in April till the 7th of September. Now, 1 put it to Mr. Henick that Ip* with his own pen copied, in connection with Mr. Farrow, and carefully fo I up from Mr. I i row’s collections, fcTJol 04 of taxes, composing the largo part of this settlement between them, and that with that 1 had nothing whatever to do. I ask him, also, if he did not, last No- \ ember, call over the ta x duplicate to the Auditor and allow Mr. Ililiis to become charged with this amount as though ho bail <*ollected it himself. Tho dupli iate, u I tid bel re. bae to he turned over in November and April, no difference how many Treasurers might dabble in them. The county orders, ninoimting to about §10,Om, are turned over by tho Treasurer in May of each year. Preparatory to the June settlement. I ask Mr. itenick D he did not turn over about of county orders received from Mr. Farrow in this settlement, and, in fact, every voucher that Mr, Farrow had received, even down to road receipts, from June to September 7th, as though ho had paid them off himself. He received them as so much cash from Mr. Farrow, and with that 1 had nothing to do. At the legally appointed time the Auditor had to pas* all these papers of the whole year under review, and make the settlement of the year complete in June. This explains Mr. i idmission that thi* 1 error »•! Mr. Farrow would have been detected in the June settlement. The only thing J did with settlement was to copy it together, lie says 1 dated it tho 27th, instead of the Nth. Mr. Farrow did not settle till the 27th.and I gave it its proper date. It certainly w«s Mr. Reniek’s duty as Treasurer, when he received these hooks and vouchers anti money from Mr. Farrow, to know what ho was receiving, and not mine. He ought to have discovered this error then, instead of U months aftor wards* I told Mr. Renick to take ur ish hook and compare his with it, which ho did. He camo to the Auditor’s office and said the hooks did not agree—that our b«»«*k showed more interest than his, and claimed that our book had him charged with more interest than he had received. In that conversation my contention was that our book was right, and this is what he has got mixed up. He admits that I had not yet examined tho Treasurer’s hooks. J say to him now, a< I said in the beginning.that I immediately went to the Treasurer’s office, and inside of fifteen minutes, at most, found these entries had not * made, and came hack to my work. It would be strange, indeed, to think that it would take mo “hours” to examine tho upper half of five pages of cash hook, for that is all the space it covers, with Henry Henick there pointing out tho old stubs to ascertain that these entries had not been made. It took no multiplication, addition, substruction, nor swear nor blood to tell that these entries had not been put on tho cash book, Henry, while you aro learning to keep oooks, there is another lesson worth quite as much to you. and that is, to learn to tell tho truth. Mr. Henick says tho books showed tho School Fund Interest overdrawn when Mr. Ililiis took the book**. This is tho money referred to in Mr. Farrow’s article which wo had him overcharged by a double entry and corrected in his favor. This cuts no figure against Mr. Ililiis. It only shows that in all the ups and downs wo hold tho Treasurer’s office responsible for all she gets Mr. Renick says In his last paragraph “It was his duty to discover this error. It was his duty to see that Mr- Farrow paid it into tho Treasury.” Wonderful duties of a deputy, indeed. Where is Ililiis? Where is the Bounty Hoard? The deputy in that office is spelled with a big ‘‘D. and the Treasurer with a small “t. r ’ About all the use Mr . llilhs is in thure is to <lo»o out where it will do the most Ifood. The day limy come when noother linul settlement will have to he umde, when a little time may become a very nee^sary ingredient. II. M. HAN DLL.
