-We have read of diplomatic
Corps in foreign countries, but
some of our achievements vastly
transcend any diplomatic triumph we ever
read of. Did not we, by one subtle
question, find out who was the devoted
beau of 9 young lady, whose mother at
tended the last regular meeting Of the
Ladies Drama Pootra Sewing Society?
We saw the old lady open the door, and
ran to meet her, exclaiming, Why how
do you do? Is little Henry any better of
the measles?" She told US Henry had
left the parlor bedroom, and been play
ing around the house some time. Now
we know that a certain old turkey was
driven from his roost in a tree under the
wiz dow Of that young mans bedroom,
who lives across the way from our house
at twenty minutes after nine o'clock on
last Sunday evening. Put this and that
together, and then for s0hot a0as there a

Thus gentlemen, after making liberal
allowances for estimated and contingent
expenditures, and restricting to narrow
limits the estimated accumulation Of in
terest to the County, we can safely an
ticipate a surplus over all expenditures
on the next annual meeting Of the Co.
Board Of over ($500) five hundred dol
lars And | will here remark in regard
to the Indebtedness of j. S. Ayers, 10
the County, that proposition will un-
doubleday be made by certain parties to
the Board at this meeting, Tor the pur-
chase Of those mortgages, and on su II
terms as will in my opinion induce the
Board at once to accept The offer
Should such prove to be the case the
towns can rely upon receiving their pay
in full, in cash or tax certificates, if they
choose to accept them as soon as the sale
for delinquent taxes takes place in Sep
TENDER next, and furthermore in all prob
ability the Treasury will be in condition
to redeem nearly, ifnct quite all the out
standing Indebtedness of the County.
This, gentlemen, is truly gratifying
state of things. [ would not wish to IN
dulge in the language Of imitation, but it
is no vain speech to say that SO far as her
r ecords, and her financial condition is con
cerned, the County Of Pierce stands on an
equal footing with, and in some respects
a little better than any other county in
the State. If there is county besides
her, that has not the State for creditor,
| have yet to learn the fact. And to take
a retrospective glance, gentlemen when

county affairs, with what it was one year

that nv name stands on the records, with

This Board, gentlemen, has given form

stored the pilaged treasury, to the legiti-
mate use Of the people, and finally you

Swerve bird-ike in the Joyous gale
The cheeks lit up to burning bloom,

The quick breath parts her laughing lips,
The white neck shines through tossing curls;
Her vesture gently sways and dips,
AS on she speeds in shell-liIe whorls.
Men stop and smile to see her go
They gaze. they smile in pleased surprise
They ask her name; they long to show
Some silent friendship in their eyes.
She glances not; she passee on;
Her steely football quicker rings;
She guesses not the benson
Which follows her on noisless wings.
Smooth be her wars, secure her tread
Along the devious lines of life,

In conclusion, allow me simply to call
your attention to III fact, that since the
last meeting Of the Board, the law rela-

essentially altered, and perhaps a close
examination Of the Law as modified may
suggest the necessity Of some leg Station
