The c. UNITY CONvENTIoN.-In the
hurry of work last week We neglected
10 call attention TO the coming County
Convention and the time is now so
short that this paper will not reach a
portion of our Subscribers before the day
of the Convention. We will, however,
urge upon those of our readers who do
get the paper i'll time, the necessity of
attending the Convention The officers
10 be Nominated are Representative,
Probate Judge, Treasurer, Commission
rr, Prosecuting Attorney and Infirmary
director. The ticket is all important
one and every Republican in the county
should interest himself nOa0. in the eff
fort to secure the nomination of the very
best men for the positions. If this is
done, a ticket may be nominated that
will give general satisfaction, and secure
the full vote of the party. and in that
event the chances are decidedly in favor
of success.

Nv Ideal Hama.

1t is not in the city gay,
Mid crowded streets and tainted air;
Where wealth assumed, and mock display
For aye. allure the young and fair.
There health and comfort meekly bow
To pride and fashions tyrsnt sway;
And parents teach their children how
To shun true wisdom's pleasant way.
But far away from all of these,
Mid scenes of rural beauty stands
A cossy cottage 'Inong the trees,
Where dwells a loving, happy band.
There sings the lark her morning lay,
Percbed high 'nid fruits of ruby hnes,
The charming red bird, and the Jay,
Join in the merry music too.
There verdant lawn and airy bowers
Are famed by heavens pure breeze;
And there the fragrant breath Of flowers,
Floats lightly Ger the dewy leas.
The shining orbs from heaven look down,
On grazing herds, and well fed stalls;
And nelds of waving grain have crowned,
The husbands late, and early tolls.
There labor is no irksome task,
Nor thought TO be of low degree;
And sprightly lad, aud bony lass,
Are er udite as such may be.
'Tis there my transient days rd.spend,
And daily seek some good to do,
That when my earthly labors end,
may better country view.

PIKE APPRAIsEMENTs.-M Messrs. E. G.

Pile, the committee appointed TO asse> s
the property along the lines of the
Unioniowu and Flushing. and the st
CiairsviIle and Harrison County line
pixies. ctnclTded their labors Oh Satur-
day last. This committee has discharg-
ed its du le> III d satisfactory manner,
and is the first to assess the tax on prop
erIy according to its present value. The
appraisers, her' tofOre, have taken the
value ot appraisenIrnta as returned by the
AMI assessors OF 1869, and assessed
he tax IN that value. Many persons
nave been making considerable yearly
improvements but not ofsufficient Value
III one year To authorize the annual as
SCISSORS to return the saline TO the Auditor,
while other persons have made no i'm
provements. The relative value of diff
ferent lots and tracts of land has greatly
changed since that appraisement, and
this committee, to remedy this difficulty,
first affixed value to the property,
within the prescribed limits, according
to its present worth, and then made
their assessment upon this value. We
have examined the assessment on the
property in this corporation, and think
there is little if any cause Of complaint.
We congi atulate the committe OH their
success.

Harper for June is the first number OF

OF popularizing sutject like the Au-
rora Berealis, Prof. Loomis has succeed
ed in conveying information in popu
lar form that will be valuable to the
general reader, and the admirable illus
tratlons will also serve to facilitate the
object. The papers, Said Pacha of

though quite opposite in character, are
well prepared by their respective au-
thors. The new novel, "A Brave Lady,"
by the aAhor of John Halifax" as it
