situated in what is called Che Swamp, there were
raised three bushels Of clean sccd. Somewhat less
than quar-, sown by Mr. David Herr produced OF
clean seed the full OF flour barrel.
OF the value of the grain as food Tor cattle, hor-
SEES, or swine, we are no; prepared TO speak from
actual observation. The accounts which VIC have
received from Eoston in this state, from the states
OF Delaware and Maryland represent il as superior
TO oats for horses, good Substitute for corn IN Tee
ding cattle or hogs, and that when manufactured
into llour il makes good cakes and mixes well
with wheat flour. The chat used instead OF cut
straw, mixed with chopped rye, ship stusftor shorts
is said 10 make un excellent food for horses.
Some of the above seed raised in this county, BY
MIR Joseph Wents, is LEFT for sale at the office OF
this Gazette Messr. Ober and Kline have also
some Tor sale al their store OF their own raising.

the blame must rest somewhere, and it is unjust

Sd-They have filled up streets where it was not

3-They have paid their own officers fees in

ranted, as it is charge for which the county has
been invariably liable
These are some few of the acts of the present

who think that public officers public servants &
of course public property, think it nothing more
than right that the public should investigate their
conduct, and if they found unworthy of conf.

would do the business better II is certainly advisa
BILE that elections should be attended TO and men
chosen who competent to fill the different off,
ices. This can never be done until the citizens be-
come more attentive to their own interest," and make
better selections it is known to every individual
