A LEGAcy.-The whig county com.
mi soners, who gave place to the last
locofoco board in 1851 left on the books
to be levied by their SUCCESSORS about
1891. The loco Board Just out of office
we find, leave TO their whig successors
neat little legacy in the shape Of about
$500 to be entered in the next levy.
In other words they burden the new
Board with apI ropriations to be levied
in the next levy amounting to above
twenty-five hundred dollars more than
was left for them to provide for; more
than secen md a haif times as much.

repulsed from before Oltcntza, another
asserts that he drove the Turks across
the Danube; third says that the Turks
stormed Bucharest; fourth that they
chased the Russians to the Pruth; fifth
that Orten-S1cken's division had the
Turks hemmed in, and they were at his
mercy; sixth takes liberty with the
geography of the place, and declares
that the Russians Were retreating to
kronstadt, an Austrian town, and that a
body of Turks had been despatched
through Servia to intercept them !!
There are other lumors more lmproba.
BILE still, and we ale thrown back on the
