RE- We are reminded by the Spring
elections Of the number Of officers to be
partly supported by taxation. Little as
each town officer may receive, that little is
raised by taxation and goes just 50 far in
bogetting the sum total to be raised by
tax We are not prepared to suggest any
diminution in tie number Of town officers,
except that the town clerk might just as
well be the assessor, and perhaps a sir
gle supervisor would better answer the pur-
pose 81 three supervisors. The system Of
town government is, however about as
perfect as we ever expect to seeit. ItmaY
be defective in details, but as a system and
in the general operation, the law covers all
the grounds of perfection.

We cannot omit to especially refer to the speech
of Rev. Mr. Druon, the Catholic Pri.st here, as
especially happy, Astounding in capital hits, and
bringing down the &" table 3" in an almost con-
tinuous storm of cheers. When we left, late in
the night, the devotees Of Euchre were still at
their game apparently as fresh as when they

Incidents of the Capture of Fort Henry.

While conversing with an intelligent Rebel
officer to-day, called his attention to the assn
rance of the country people that Union sent'-
ment is largely predominant in this region.
THAT is true, SIR was his reply you al

The rebel officers generally deported them
selves with courtesy and prorriety though

talked 50 violently that Gen. Grant ordered
them under arrest. As they were leaving this
evening for Paducah, where they are to be kept
for the present, Capt. Lagow of Gen. Grants
staff, observed the handle of a revolver pfotru-
ding from the pocket of one Of them.

the name, Nv. b. Lugow,' engraved upon the

There it was, clear as MONDAY. The rebel
officer scrutinized it long and closely. finally
gave up the weapon, observing that some one
had taken his pistol, and
"Stalked off reluctant like i'll used ghost.''
