COMMISSIONERS CoURT.-Yester-
day the County Commissioners were
engaged chiefly IN settling with the
Township Trustees, some of whom do
not fully understand their duty, and
the Commissioners were endeavoring
to impress it upon their minds,
though with rather indiferentsuccess.
Thei inventory of property turned
over by the late Superintendent of
the County Asylum, to his successor,
amounting to 81, 977 81, was submitted
and filed.
Louis Fredericks, the new Super
intendent, filed his bond in the sum
of $1,000, faithfully to fulfill his con
tract, with Jacob Weiss, George
Kliuk and Jacob Oehlkuck as secu-
rites, which was accepted by the
Commissioners.
