Our community may congratulate
themselves on the return of our old
friend and fellow citizen, DR.. II. A
Swasey.
He has tried Louisiana long enough
and now comes back to us richer in
experience if not in purse, and will
make it his business to supply the
good people of Canton and vicinity
with every thing in his line on the
most reasonable terms.

The order of Gen. Grant, which
will be found in our telegraphic col.

upon which we shall soon hear from
our watchful Executive Committee.
We have not time or space to com.

content Ourself with giving the fol,

to be apprehended that in those un.

that President johnson will demand

Mr.. J. B. SHERRARD, than whom
there is not to be found a gentleman
more worthy of confidence, guaran
tees stock of fresh and carefully
selected goods, from The best houses
in Baltimore. He has the happy
faculty of pleasing the ladies, and to
his good taste they all agree. For
ourselves we recommend him on the
score of being very reasonable, and
suiting his prices to the stringency of
the times.

All eyes arc turned toward Penn

Very well, We accept the judg,

means, that they will carry the State

Lcammandent Of the Department of Ne

the headquarters of the Department re-

GOVERNMENT HoRsEs SroLEN.-Two
very fue and valuable horses were
stolen from the Government corral, in
the lower part Of Virginia city, last
night. One of the animals was ridden
in from Fort Churchill by General
Gregg, yesterday. Official search is be-
ing made in all directions to-day. If
these horses are fat, We would suggest
that some Of the old tunnels about

a STRANGE DREAM AND us FULFILL
NENT.-Among the victims of the late
Angola disaster, wasia Mr.. j. u. Hay
ward, of State Line, who was in the EN-.
ploy of the Railroad Company as their
agent at that place. The Painesville
advertiser gives an account of a strange
! dream, for the correctness of which it
vouches, which Mr.. H. had just six
months before he lost his life. 1t says: !:
''He dreamed that he was away from
home, in a desert, when suddenly he heard
terrific crash, and upon looking in the
dissection from which the sound proceed
ed he saw bright light, which seemed
to, reach to the very heavens, and he
heard screams and yells of the most
frightful and heart-rending character.
On looking about him he saw an august
parsonage, a monk, he thought, sitting
in high estate, and he inquired where all
that noise came from. From hell' an
swered the Monk. The dreamer asked,
what does it mean The Monk replied,
1T means that you must instantly die p
Mr.. H. then told the Monk that he was
not yet prepared to die, and begged for
further time The Monk finally said,
you prayer is granted; you may live up
on the earth six months longer; at the
expiration of that time you shall diet AT
this juncture Mr.. Hayward was awakened
by his wife, who was alarmed at her hus-
bands actions, he sitting up in bed and
being greatly agitated." ~ -r+
An Erie paper speaking of it adds:
"The dream made a great impression up
on his mind and was the subject Of much
thought and frequent conversations with
his friendsfo a time, but at length he
came to look upon it as of no conse-
quenee. On precisely the last day of the
six months he purchased a life assurance
ticket for 1000, took passage on the ill
fated trail, for Buffalo, and was number
e6 among the, victims at Angola p i,a.

TAxATIoN.-The following sensible re-
marks from the Pittsburgh Gazette, ON
the subject OF taxation, are especially
timely: -. i...-..., -.s..-....., t..--. ,. .i...
Not a few persons who participate in
the discussion of public affairs kaye fall
en- into the orror of speaking of the Ma
Lienal. Government as a sort of monster
that has seized productive. industry by
the throat, with intent to wiring the life
oat of it. This assumption is followed
by another, equally mischievous, which
is, that necessaries of life shall be exemp-
ted from taxation. Now, it is well to
remember that government is as necessa-
rys a thing, for any people, as can be
thought Of 1t cannot be had without
paying for it. The real problem is, to
reduce the cost to AS Iowa point as is
reasonable, and to get the Indispensable
money by such methods as will equalize
the burden. 1t is altogether misleading
to employ such terms as "neeessaries,'' =
for the word has about as many different
meanings as there are men and women
in the country Habit determines even
more than nature what is necessary for
an individual and, when wants grow
irg out of use are discarded, not much re-
mains upon which to levy taxes. As the
case stands, Labor wants to throw the
public burdens on Capital, and Capital
wants to cast the load ON Labor. Both
will have to carry full share, or the load
will fall between the two. at4 .gsH
