A BEAR FIGHT Once upon time, a
man got into close quarters with grizzley
bear, so close that nothing but successful
battle would save his life. Henevc crtroubled
himself much about praying, but in this en-
ergency he thought best to call upon Divine
assistance in the following language:
Lord, don't often trouble you with my
prayers and ifyou will give me lift this time,
promise never To ask anything OF you again.
But, Lord, ifyou Wont help me, don't help that
Internal bear; but just lay low. and show fall
play and you will see one of the u-dest bcal
fights you ever did see"
We have one Of the most important cleo
tions coming on ever held in the State Of
Ohio an election that will go far to decide
whether our property, the accumulation O.
years of toll on FARMS in shops and through
all the various avocations of life is to be con
sumed by public plunderers or carried ava!
by tax-collectors an election which is t.

There will be no fusion ticket, nor do W

Now, we most respectfully beg of th'

A LIBERAL OPERA Richmond cor
respondent says that Gen. LEE has been
proffered a splendid residence in London by
a member of the British Parliament, and a
sum of money the interest ofwhich will give
himself and family liberal support for life
As general, there are few who have been
more admired, and as a citizen none more
respected than the recent rebel general-in-
chief. His convictions were such as to i'm
plicate him in acts deemed treasonable for
which he may be tried, and whatever shall
be the verdict Of jury or sentence of the
court the world will forever regard General

that there is about 800, 00o,00o worth Of
whisky manufactured in the United States
per annum, but they only got track of $50,
ooo, 900 in the collection of taxes! The tax
machinery must be as defective as the ingc
nuity of the whisky dealers to evade it il

DENIES, j. A. HARRIS, Esq, denies
having fallen into Odell's Lake on the oc-
casion of the recent fishing excursion
Since we come to think about it, we believe
it was some one else who fell in. The ac-
cident caused Squire HARRIS to indulge in
such immoderate laughter that some thought
he ought to have fallen in, and we most
ardently wished him the luxury of bath.
After general consultation it was concluded
to report it on the Squire just to see whether
he would enjoy a joke on himself as hugely
as if on another. Wish Sheriff NELSON
and JERRY SLUTTs had fallen in.

A WORD TO FARMERS. Friends, you
know you have to pay taxes on about all
you raise, eat, drink, wear and own. This
would not seem so hard if all classes were
taxed in proportion. 1t is known by all
that there is inequality in taxation, but we
have some doubt as to whether the cxtont
of it is fully understood. To give an idea
of this and to show single discrimination
in favor of rich men-which is but one
among many-let us take case at home
ENos, Brown & Co., Bankers, have listed
for taxation $3.50. You would suppose
they had not much of bank with only two
hundred and fifty dollars capital but YET
they have a capital of probably $50, 600 -
The secret of it is, they have put theil
money into government bonds, which are
exempted by abolition legislation from al
taxation. Many of our citizens who depenC
upon their daily toll for the means of sub
sistence for themselves and families pay
more taxes than the rich banking house o
ENos, BRowN & Co.
ENos, Brown e. Co. are not to bo blame,
for thus shielding themselves from taxation
the law of the land invites them to do it
but we insist that such unfair laws shoul
not exist, and the party which enacts then
should be turned ont ofpower,
