wanting to know where he was bound.

equally as successful as the other,
each time getting the same number
of spots up. S. then offered to bet
$40 90 that lie could not do it again.
G. took The bet, threw, and pocketed
the money. Apparently much eN
cited, S. then offered to bet any
amount that g. could not do it again.
The latter put up hisSwatch worth
$4,000, and $4,000 in money, which
S. covered with $4,000. G. again
threw the dice and got upperpos'

NEDs.AJEFfE FfERSONIAN:1SOme Time
since we saw in your paper that our
County Commissioners had sold the
interest the County had in the Branch
X. r., running from Findlay to Ca
rcy, amounting to S39, 900 90, for the
|pitilul sum of ten cents ON the dollar
realizing from it $4,000 co. We
were, however, somewhat relieved
when you told us that the purchasers
were under obligations TO keep tue
road in good running order. This,
we are informed, is mistake, as the
parties only agreed to do.rso and
the Commissioners have not scratch
OF a pen to that effect. And we are
also told that thesitpn on the said
road is worth $4,000 90. Now il
this be true--and good Democrats
are my intormants-the present own.

by pulling up the'iron and abandon

Commissioners to help themselves as
best they .cap. Further than this,
we learn that the stock Of the road
was worth 335 cents on the dollar
