entitled +" An Act relating to certain County

entitled I" An Act relating to certain County
Treasurers
SECTION l. The County Treasures of the coun
ties of Nez Perez, Idaho, Boise and Shoshone
shall, on or before tie twentieth day of March
enc thousand eight hundred and sixty four, pay
over to the Territorial Treasurer of the Territory
/ of Idaho, all moneys he'd by them as such county
Treasurers for the use of the Territory under and
by virtue OF any law OF Washington Territory.
Sec. @ The Territorial Treasurer is hereby re-
quired to receive any and all moneys thus paid by
said County Treasurers, or any OF them, and res
ceIpt Tor the same to said TreasurerS, which re-
ceipt shall discharged them from all liabilities.
Sec. 3. For failure to comply with the provi-
sons OF this Act they and their sureties shall be
liable on their official bonds.
| In this Grand Jury report we see it stated
that the Board of County Commissioners of
Boise instructed the County Treasurer not to
account to the Territorial Treasurer for mon
eys collected in 1868; AND HE NEVER HAS. But
his official bonds are responsible uuder the
general law, for thus misapplying the Terri
|tory'S funds. Section eighty-three of the
Revenue Law reads thus: a
If any Tax Collector or County Treasurer shall,
either directly or indirectly, use, loan employ or
ID any manner place out of his possession, other
wise than on special deposit, any funds belonging
TO- OF collected by, or paid to him for the use and
benefit of either the Territory or any county, he
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and of convic-
ton thereof, shall be forthwith removed from
Office and shall also be punished by fine in any
sum not exceeding five thousand dollars, or ina
pflsonment In the Territorial prison for any time
not exceeding one year, or by both such fine and
imprisonment.
We have used the case of Boise county to
illustrate the princiDles laid down Of tho no
ginning OF this article. It matters not how
efficient the general principles of revenue
law may be, it is a failure if It's details arenot
complied with. By such Noncompliance,
public credit is impaired, and public finances
are deranged. AID
Our Legislature have now under consider
alton amendments to the Revenue Act We
Would suggest that the most certain way of
securing efficiency, would be to secure obedi-
ence to its provisions.

The LAST DAYs.-A correspondent Of the
Walla Walla Statesman, writing from this
city, has the following as the result Of his
experience and observation in this country
SINCE the. announcement OF the result of
the election, order reigns in Warsaw"
once more, and most persons seem in
clined to pursaethe even tenor of their way
with accustomed eye to business profits aud
pursuits-each on the sharp lookout for the
interests of No. /. This has particular force
as regards the outgoing appointees to county
offices, among whom the game of " grab is
being played with mnch rigor and extortion-
ate exaction. Some of them begin to look
upon every dollar coming within their grasp,
whether allowed by law, as fees, or not, as
their specialprize, and fasten on to it as per-
sonal and "portablen property accordingly.

Good Advice.

Mr., John Johnston, of Geneva, N. Y,
in recent letter addressed to Col johnson,
Secretary of the State Agricultural Socie-
ty, gives the following facts and Sugges-
tions
II notice that those farmers who have
most difficulty to make ends meet. always
plow mostand keep most stock. Now these
men take the true plan to keep themselves
always poor because their stock and crops
are always poor and bring little. 1t is a
good profit to raise 800 bushels Of wheat
from ten acres; but when it takes thirty to
raise that amount, it is raised at loss, SOFT
is with cattle and sheep; you viii see the
thinking farmer make four year steers worth
from $50 to $50 each and his neighbor at
the same age not worth oyer $25 to $40.--
Now this ought not to be in a country where
all men are born free and equal if the farm
is rich, then labor intelhgently employed will
soon make the owner in easy circumstances
if his land is exhausted-and great many
farms are-then he should plow no more
than he could thoroughly manure. Seed
with clover and grass and let it rest for
even two years, and that field will not only
pay well for tillage, but it will furnish MA
nure, if rightly managed, to make another
field of the same size, rich also; it is bad
policy, when field is highly nanured, to
continue cropping it with grain until the
manure is used up. The latter end OF that
land will be worse than the fast; but let
that land be in clover even one year---two is
better-after it is manured, and then it will
stand perhaps six good crops before it re-
quires manuring: if clay tubsoil know il

The Best White wash.

Mr. Uriah Richie, well known in Bos
ton as a master builder, and man of great
experience, gives to us the following receipt
for white washing. Mr.. Ritchie is prac-
tical and successful mechanic in the broad
est sense, and after having made great
many experiments in the art of preparing
white washes, he comes to the following CON
clusicnsi'i I,'sNm..H. r' I
lst. For rough outside walls--tliose ex-
posed to the weather--the bGst mixture is
clear lime and water. Any animal or veg
table substance added, diminishes the ad-
hesion and durability of the wash. "
I'd. But it the wall is hard'and smooth,
the wash is improved by mixture Of very
fine sand-as much as will mix and can be
applied. & ai a.

Agricultural
Making Pork.

At the present time when grain is high, it
becomes necessary for those who keep hogs
to study into the best mode of feeding them,
so AS to have them thrive. The following
judicious and timely remarks on this sub
jhct, are taken from the New Hampshire
Ctlltiuotbfi .. n...
In one respect, farmers commonly show
the worst Of their management in tattenlng
hogs These animdls appreciate. Ind enjpy
cleanliness, yet there owners make them hive
in dirt, and then charge them with fond
ness for filth. This is oppression and SLAM
der combined. Every person familiar with
their habits, know that when clean straw
beds and other comforts ere given them,
they are scrupulous 10 keep them clean. -
When shut up in narrow pen, where they
must eat, sleep and live in one apartment,
they cannot but be uncomfortable and such
a condition greatly retards their thriving
A ''hog pen has become proyerblaiy re-
pnlsive place this is the owner fault, and
should never be suffered. There is no Fea-
son whyi it sheuldnot be neat and attractive.
We hear farmers who raise grain say they
have more straw than they can use, while al
the same moment their fattening hogs have
not enough Of it to make dry and clean
bed. f "w .yys.,.
Animals can never thrive wen unless kept
clean. The rule applies to swine as weH az
to horses. D Every one knows that well
groomed horse is better than a neglected
one with shabby coat. Nearly the same
result has been found when this treatment
is applied to swine. Let every manager lay
down this rule, that hog pen should never
be distinguished by its odor twenty feet dis
tant. ~ eY.-t yi -..r. . Ia
The sleeping apartment should be sepa-
rate, and kept perfectly clean and dry, The
other portion should be cleahed out at least
twice day. and the manure at once mixed
with muck loan, coal ashes, etc., to make
compost and destroy the odnr, which is as
injurious to the health of swine to breathe
rs it is to men and women. o.. ... /
1t is not necessary that a piggary should
cost five hundred dollars that it may be kept
in splendid orderj cheap and simple struc-
ture may be subjected to the most perfect
system of cleanliness. The satisfaction it
will afford to the owner, the comfort to the
occupant, and the profits. to the purse, will
be three fo'd compensation.

EETheY Saw,

It would be difficult to over4estimate the

more SANDER and falsehood, more jealousy,
estrangehent, panic, and anxiety than any
other in the English language Almost ev-
cry lying rumor originates in They Say. ~
Nothing can be more vague than the ex-
preston. 1t would be impossible 10 cuncoet
anything in the form of assertion more In
tangible and unspecific Nobody who uses
it knows, or pretends to know, the they
say given as authority; and yet, strange to
relate, the stories set ca foot with a they
say especially if they smack of scandal
are as implicitly believed by thousands as il
they were Bible facts.
There is comforting proverb to the gf-
feet that Truth is mighty and must pre-
vail, which is aften applied by way Of pOul-
tice to the wounds inflicted by the They
Suyers society. But the m,tstis mistake.
Truth does not always prevail. Very often
it prevails too late. Our own experience Of

chase is successful, the same simile still
holds good, for the talsehood, ike the pirate
will be sure to have done irreparable dam

Reports of disaster, shame, ruin att
