have my say about them, as the issue of oar
i" sand banks. is not takea for taxes, ard /
find it pretty tight work to get legal tenders
to pay with, aud one is taxed with more pro-
perty than he has, it makes it still harder
For instance. l bought a yoke OF oxen. for
which ! gave my note, secured by real estate
and when l listed my personal property l
stated my Indebtedness TO the Assessor. which
he informed me I could deduct from the
amount. But when come TO pay my taxes
/ found had been assessed 500 more than l
really had do not think it is the intention
of the law to impose tax on this property,
and also tax the party holding notes for the
same. There is wrong somewhere, aud l
wish you would give us little light on this
subject, as l am not the only one interested in
this matter.

A LEGEND.
CONTINUED.


In the singing forest and in the rosy glen
ever and anon appeared stripping with his
AK and his spade. Here he hung his ham
mock to the sport of the breeze. and there he
pitched his tent by the side of gurgling rill.
Time passed on, and Rachel's foot prints were
sven by the side of the we'll Lingering one
day. she let fall her kerchief, which fell in Ja-
cob's path that led to his cabin. And, be it
remembered, Jacob dwelt in the land where
IN his father was stranger, and much did he
wonder at the sign of the kerehief And he
said, "lo the night has well nigh come l
will gather the cattle together, viii water
the sheep at the well and feed Them" And
as he wandered for the cattle, and drew wa
in his cabin. Yea, and the slumbering en-
Jers were aroused and kindled to a flame, and
great was the delight of Jacob
The news spread abroad, even among the
sons and daughters of The Sister by the side
Of the laughing river, that many werethe ia
cobs on the plain and the Esaus of the will
derness. But the crown that hung on the
Burberry tree was the wonder and the envy
Of all. Southwark Sister grew stronger and
wiser, and much did she covet that emblem of
power and glory. Behold another son of
Esculapius was heard in the councils of state,
and then he lifted his scalprel to wrest that
crown from the Burberry tree. But for two
short years cried he, give us back the crown
and the scepter we swayed" May" cried
Sister by the laughing river, "restore to me
the arm you cleft from my shoulder give to
me the crown, and peace aud glory and
wealth shall prevail"
But Waukegan reioiced and made merry
With fair words and much treasure he sailed
forth 10 the rescue, when 10, there was shout
from the wilderness and cry from the plains.
The sons of Esau and Jacob arose in their
might aud proclaimed hostility eternal to the
reign OF the Waukegan. They hailed in hope
the many sons of the laughing river, and
thick and powerful were the blows they dealt
together. They wandered for the cattle in
the wilderness and on the plain. and they
gathered the sheep that they might water
them at the well. Each strove for the scepter
and the crown, and each made much good
promise for The future, yea, more than was
their intent TO fulfil.
AT length the battle was ended, and, not
knowing why or wherefore, they left that
crown in the heart of the wilderness, and still
it hangs on the Barbe Try tree.

Ed. JOURNAL Those interested in the
cause of education in the co. cannot but con-
gratulate themselves that their choice of sup't
has proved so happy. The faithtulness, zeal
and wisdom which have characterized his
course since assuming the responsibilities of
his position, have won the individual conf
dence and esteem of all in circumstances to
warrant judgment. The teachers especially
are deeply appreciative of his judicious coun-
sci and generous sympathy. The writer, al
though having had somewhat of experience
in teaching where school systems are consid-
cred TO lie highly perfected, frankly conf s.
vert, have enjoyed the superintendent of
an overseer of school instruction more capable
or more faithful. Persons differ, of course,
in methods, and no one can presume to be an
absolute judge but all must admit that en-
thusiasm will ensure success in almost any
system. This Mr.. Reed possesses preenlinent-
ly. With this he inspires those under him,
whether in the private school-room or in the
public gatherings of the teachers. s.

Strangers who might intend to settle in the
timber would naturally look TO places which
have natural advantages, like Forestville, Trim
belle, Fl Paso, and other places, but they now
go past Ellsworth and fall into the hands of
these tax plunderers, and they show them the
enormous resources at their command in the
shape of stealings from the taxes raised from
the farmer to build jail. court house and roads,
which they tell them they have the plans all
laid to accomplish. These men constitute
about all the real disadvantages of the woods.
Their policy is to divide and plumber both
the people in the woods and those on the
prairie.
Thus, Mr.. Editor, have given my views
in regard to the natural advantages of this
section Of country. Allow me to say what |
think has been the effect of dividing it into
two counties. running the dividing line right
through the heart of the old county. Jeal-
ousies have been created, and all united ac-
ton for general improvement has been de-
feated. What is the best plan to help all the
sections we have been looking at II is for
the people in the woods to come to tie edge
of the woods, and those along the Lake and
River and on the prairie to come TO the edge
of the prairie, and then join hands and work
together. Don't be afraid, gentlemen, you
won't hurt each other.
&c to work and get the Railroad through
from Black River Falls, by way of River
Falls, to Prescott, to connect with the Has
tings road then build the Lake Superior
Road from River Falls te Hudson, and that
will give manufacturers and farmers an outlet
in the winter, and then the farmers can haul
their wheat, flour and other products TO mar
ket in the winter, instead Of being compelled
to do it Just when we need our teams for
blowing The loss to the farmers in this way
has already been more than sufficient to build
ell these necessary Railroads. Win the far
mers think Of things

~" Our old friend, JOE. HEIBERT, who
came into the Northwest forty years ago, in
the employ of the Hudson Bay Company,
and has seen more of pioneer life Than almost
any one now living in this part of the coun-
try. is thinking of leaving this place and re-
moving 10 Hudson, where he formerly lived
for ii me.
Having accumulated competency, and
wishing to visit his former home once more,
he took his splendid team of French ponies
and visited Hudson, from which place he re-
turned last evening. Mr.. HILBERT tells us
that he came within 500 of negotiating for
the Chaplin Block" of that city, and that
nothing prevented except the dagger Of the
annexation OF the two counties, thus depri-
wing Hudson of a County Seat.
In his own words he says: I" No ting"
would make him leave Prescott and abandon
his business here except the trouble of find
ing sure and safe investment for his accu-
INFLATED means. Re says the papes he has,
what they call bonds, and the little ticket on
de end which they cut of, puzzles him very
much, and he win probably-yet much
against the wishes of his friends here-pur-
chase the " ChapiR Block" and leave us. We
hope not.
p. S.-We hear that Mr.. WHALEY, agent
for the owner Of the Chaplin Block, has ac-
cepted the proposition made to him by Mr..
HEBERT.
