"The Innoccnts Abroad .',-This is the
title OF an interesting work recently published.
Of which MARK TvAIS is the author. None, we
think, who are familiar with the comic writings
Of MARX TWAIN, will consider Their library
complete without this book. Mrs. MARIAN
GorLD is canvassing our tnwn, and we have no
doubt but the work will meet with ready sale.
Our County Fnir-Owing to being crowd
ed with work, in connection with the ague. we
have been unable TO attend the County Fair /,
which closes to-day at Tontogany. Those who
have attended report the exhibition TO be a COM
plete success in every particular, being much the
largest ever held in the county. We will give
a report OF II next week.
Look Out.-A man Is travelling through the
State, representing himself as government de-
tectiye, and compromising with cigar and to-
bacco dealers who have unstamped goods on
hand, selling them stamps. He also sells per-,
mits to sell drinks probably pretending to shield
the parties from the operation Of the State laws
in regard thereto He travels IN an open two
horse buggy and is said to be realizing from
$50 to $75 a day.-Horteta Register.
Bell VS.. Foster.-This case, iu suit Of
damages for assault and battery, promises frcm
the portinacity OF the litigants, TO become as
noted in this county as that VI 'Jarndice VS..
Jarndice" has become ia the legal reports. On
the first trial the jury returned a verdict Of $500
damages. On the second trial verdict of I 500
was given. On the third trial verdict OF ST.
200 was rendered. At the fourth trial, which
ended on Tuesday, the jury found verdict for
SIl00. So the matter stands at present.
This is one of the many cases which exhibits
the uselcssncss and folly Of litigation, which
ends only iu the ruin of the liigauts.
Gen. I. II. Shcrwood.-Our polite and
accomplished Secretary of State visited this town
on Friday last and in the evening addressed the
citizens ON the issues of the day. The General
reviewed the policy OF the Democratic party and
handled the record of its standard bearer MIR.
pINDLEToN, in an able and effective manner.
Our space will not admit of heightened review
of the Generals speech, suffice il to say that IL
was emincutiy logical aud abhunded in matter
]
the Democracy. A good audience were in at
tendance at the Courthouse, who were eviden'-
ly interested with an grotiGel y the address to
which they had listucd.
Register of Births and Dcaths.-A
new act requiring Probate Judges to keep a
record Of births and deaths reported t. them,
was passed by tue Legislature, and tuok effect
ON the 30th of April last. The duty of making
the reports upon which the Probate Judges are
to construct their records dcyoves upnn town
ships and ward assessors, upon physicians and
mid-wives, upon clergymen and sections, and
upnn parents of children. Persons refusing or
ncglecting to perfect any duty Imposed upon
them by tho act. are liable to penalty Of ten
dollars. The object contemplated by this law
is Of the highest Importance, aud it should be
attained If possible. We should have reliable
records OF Girhs aud deaths, as we have Of
marriages.
