ed to shovel it out from one end to the

protection against drifting, as the snow
would fill up even to the Top Of the fence

places that it would bear a horse, and
any one can readily see, that TO get the

The Bounty Resolution.

ET Quite marked and strong in.
fluence was brought to bear upon the
Board at its recent session, in regard to
appropria,ing county bounty to yolun-
teers who had heretofore enlisted, and
who as yet have not received any fayors
from the Board. The latter were deep
ly sensible Of this, and had the state OF
the county finances permitted. it would
no doubt have voted nice little sum to
those who have so nobly rsked life and
limb In the service of their country.
We think, however, that the Board act
ed very sensibly in the matter, in refus.
ing TO issue warrants when there was no
basis TO give them valuation. Perhaps
this could be RENE died by giving bonds
at low rate ofinterest. in which capital.
lists would readily invest their funds
But the case stands now. any one car
readily see that to issue warrants now
would only tend 10 the depreciation oil
our county's credit. as our tax now ex.
tends to the utmost that the law viii al
low -four mills on the dollar.) Means
will soon be devised. however, by which
tue county can command an amount Of
funds sufficient 10 cover all claims upon
her benevolence and patriotism.

Mild Again.

The weather has cleared up at last
and old Sol is favoring US with some of
his most benignant smiles. The roads
are now well broken and in splendid

A HUNDRED YEARS HENCE.

All We loyal freemen give ear to my song,
Come listen awhile, III not keep you long.
Concerning these croakers about great expense,
They'll all be forgotten a hundred years hence
There's Val of Ohio with Cox and Pugh,
Who sorely afflicted with secession, too.
They would rot vote one dollar for Union defence
And hey'll be forgotten ere wenty years hence
There are Seymours and Woodses all Joined in q
band
For the spread of the slave trade over the land
To be friends of shareholders they speak much
nonsense;
But they'll be forgotten a hundred years hence
And George B. Mcclellan, the copperhead god.
Who is at their service by wink or by nod.
He once, to be loyal, made great pretense,
But he'll be forgotten hundred years hence.
These Cops cry for peace and the rights of the
South
Then hurrah for the with the very same mouth 4;
They set up Mcclellan astride of this fence
Il will all be forgotten hundred years hence.
Success to the champion that's now at the helm,
May he all the foes of our land overwhem
Suppress Il rebellion matter from whence:
lie will be remem bered hundred years hence
All honor to army and navy so bold,
In every old State they have now foothold
Our tories at home are all in suspense,
They'll not be forgotten u hundred years hence.

clergymen were calling on him in Florence,
and the conversation turning upon the wai
in the Uuitod States, one of them said to
the doctor:
You need king in your country, sir?"
"A king?'' replied the doctor, do you
know how there come to be king ?''
Well, said the clergyman, Good gave
him to the jews in His anger.
Yes, y responded the doctor, and do
you know who was the first king?
Saul, Of course, y said the clergyman.
Yes, rejoined the doctor, and Saul
was a driver Of asses-thc only beings that
want kings"
But, said the clergyman, again, zone
of the offices of Christ was that of king. :"
True, reioined the doctor, With great
animation and dignity, and the man who
usurps thai office, does in the .State what
