The subject of Fair Grounds, the next

Bounties to Volunteers.

The Board of Supervisors meet to-
day for the purpose of considering
the subject Of offering a bounty to
volunteers, with view of obviating
the necessity for draft in this coun-
". Counties around us have been
and are still giving a bounty Of two
hundred dollars, and as recruit is
credited to the locality, where he re-
ceives local premium, it has had the
effect of inducing men from this coun-
ty to place their residence elsewhere,
in order to receive the benefit of the
liberal bounty which they would there
by receive. Floyd county has never
paid any bounties to recruits--those
which have heretofore been paid hav-
ing been raised by private subscrip-
ton. 1t 10 not known what action the
Board of Supervisors will take in the
matter at this meeting, but no doubt
they will do that which they shall
Judge to be for the best interest of the
county. . ....

In November, 1862, a man named
John Strawbridge was found in dy-
ing condition, on the bank of the Sus-
quehanna river, near Harrisburg. He
had evidently been beaten and robbed,
but he was so badly injured that he
never spoke after being found, and
the murderer escaped. An old lady
named Paul recently called upon Dis
trict Attorney Herr, stating that a
young woman who recently died in
Harrisburg confessed, upon her death
bed, that she, in company with lover,
was promenading on the river bank on
the evening preceding the day on
which Strawbridge was found that
her lover knocked Strawbridge down
and robbed him, supposing that he
was dead that she was forced to
swear that she would never reveal the
murder, but her conscience compelled
her TO state the facts before departing
this life. The alleged murderer is in
the army, and if guilty it is hoped
that some means may be found by
which he may be made to suffer the
penalty of his crime. The case is a
singular one throughout, and has Gre
ated considerable sensation in Harris
burg.

From Gen. Grants Command.

The Cincinnati Commercial Of the 18th
inst says 4: .ah
The armies under the direction of
Gen. Grant are no longer reposing in
winter quarters, but are all in motion,
evidently to carry out a comprehen-
sive plan for the crushing Of the rebel
military organization in the South
west. Exactly what this plan is we
are not inform ed, and it would be
premature to give publicity to some
of the facts throwing light on the SUBJ
ject, which are in our possession, but
enough is known to excite great de-
gree of public interest, and material
results will soon be before the coun-
try. .

Small pox is prevailing extensively
in different parts Of the country inclu-
ding our own State. The Mayor OF
Maquoketa has closed all the schools
and churches and forbidden all public
gatherings in that city. This disease
may find its way in this direction and
it would be well to be prepared for it.
Vaccination is an almost infallible pro-
lection and should be resorted to by
all who fear this dreadful disease.
Attention to this precaution now, may
save much suffering in the future.

of well organized system of doing business,
