"J. Yn-we cannot undertake TO return re-
jected communications. 1t would involve the
expense of q three cent stamp, which printers
have never yet found q way of getting for no
thing. It will keep until called for, but in

"PAHrsr."-Your doctrine is sound, but IL
made public as it now stands, might be pro-
ductive of injury to yourself. Better see the
gentleman, and in friendly manner state the
facts to him alone. Exposure In a newspaper
would only mortify the father and perhaps
harden the son.
"FARXER, We presume il was done in or.
der to have the horses cured up BY proper
treatment as soon as possible. This treatment
is not generally practiced by farmers It re-
quires skill and practice, both of which we
are informed the Quarter-master has secured.
The farmers should not complain. They had
fair chance, but we must say the result has
not come up to our expectations.
"TAx-PAYEH." new Tax bill is too
long for our columns, and great portion of
It of little interest to our farmers. Besides il
is not yet a law. We shah make extracts
from it of such matters as come home to all
of US. The amount to be realized is $780,
100000.
"SPRNGFIKLD." The letters U. s. branded
on the left shoulder of horse indicate the
title Of the United States. No man can hold
horse as his private property with this
brand against the o. s. Quarter-master, un-
less he be also branded with the letter G. The
horse you speak of may be thus branded un-
der the name, as many were on the day of
sale.
"VoLuSrErR. THE Goth Reg o. v, ls re-
cruited only for 70 months, several of which
have already elapsed. The Col. is brother

as. M."-We are not aware that the Allan
thus is an unhealthy tree. We do know it to
have very sickening odor in the spring when
putting forth leaves. 1t is of rapid growth,
and like many other new things had great
run as shade tree. We prefer the sugar, or
American Tulip tree. Either can be found
growing wild, and now is the time to plant
them. Your ideas are right Go ahead.
"GREESFlELD."-We believe very good su-
gar or sorghum mills are made at the Buckeye
foundry in Gallipolis. If not the enterprising
proprietors can soon procure you one. Weare
pleased to find your neighbors waking up to
the Importance of this crop.
"ELrvESrH o. v."-There is no man OF that
name in business in this town, and we are
glad Of it, So mean man could hardly live
in Gallipolis on his private fortune, much less
carry on the grocery business. Smuggling
whisky is very common, but you have likely
been imposed on by some "secesher" from the
Point. They are the only class of people we
know of who would be guilty of so filthy q
device to obtain whisky.
"EFFIE."-A "back-biter" is a despicable !
character, and one to be avoided. Are you
very certain that you have given "your init
mate friend" no cause of offense7 Allow US
to suggest that you have in her rival
Think over it.
ar. A. B."-No objection at all, If the
continued story" be original, and possess
merit sufficient to entitle it to publication.
al n. B."-Not at all. The Home Pets
must not complain if the girls" treat them as
girls"
"WIrIrE."-We are not at liberty to dis
close the authors name without "her" per.

cy is the right Of the contributor, and never
to be violated.
