they have sort of foretaste of the millennium.
It has within its limits one hundred and seven
ty families. There are one hundred and sixty
five voters, and during the last twenty years
there has never been fight or quarrel at any
election held in the township. Itcontains seven
school-houses, seven road districts, seven bach
elors and seven large men, three churches,
three preachers, three pair of twin boys, three
fddlers, three carpenters, three postofices,
three lunatics, and three men over seventy five
years of age. There is not lawyer, plrys;ci-
