Our COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVIs-
oRS-ls IN session again at the Clerk
Office, their Clerk absent on an excursion
10 Appleton, Madison etc., our County
Treasurer, John Eggers, officiating for
him very efficiently
We are glad to perceive, that the
Board is very careful in auditing and al
lowing bills, brought before them; if
they had thought of and exercised this
carefulness little earlier, for instance
when they voted nearly. two thousand
dollars to pay the Nord Festen for
printing, which can and would be done
just as well without that expense, these
gentlemen would have deserved and re-
ceiyed the sincere gratitude of every
taxpayer in the county, with the only
exception perhaps Of those who are re-
ceiving direct benefits from Mr. Schmidt.
If we had anything to say in that
Board, we would make motion for
reconsideration OF the vote throwing
away that sum of money, and we still
believe. that the sober second thought
of these gentlemen in this matter will
induce them, to reverse the decision they
first came to. We learn that our Nor
wegian and also our Bohemian fellow
citizens intend to petition the Board TO
have the taxlists published in their re-
spective languages. and if the other ten
ar twelve nationalities in our county fol
low suikahd their prayers are granted as
readily as those of our German saloon
keepers. our County expenses for pub
fishing the taxlists will amount to enough

;han five years.

AN IMPORTANT BELL.-Mr. Schmidt,
NJ. \. from th's.cpunty, introduced on
Saturday last bill to prohibit the de-

one and a half pounds. Should this pass,
our fisherman will undoub eddy find fault
with it, and with good reason for we re-
ally cannot see where the sense Of such
law comes in. Mr.. Schmidt can certain
ly not expect our fishermen to weigh
every fish caught before they put it into
their boat, and when the fish caught are
once landed. we should think they might

or below the ground.

capacity is concerned, 1t would be equally
as feeble and powerless d that of the
infant. The less a mind knows probably
the less it will desire to know; but that
it has particular liking for novelties, is
evident: and the desire for knowledge
once kindled, it delights boldly to step
out into new and untried fields of original
investigation and thought; and knowing,
it becomes powerful.
Hence, knowledge is power. because it
furnishes to the mind the resources re-
quisite for working out its own destiny
and making its own fortune. It is evil
dent that the mind, in reasoning. can
levy no drafts upon resources beyond its
own sphere of knowledge: and any at.
tempt at this, will invariably result only
in an exhibition Of folly. On the con-
trary there is no mind we'll stored with
knowledge that cannot reason; and it is
this that gives it capacity You educate
a mind, and probably the more it thinks
til; better it is educated, and you en-
nance its power beyond all human COM
prehension Place such a mind where
you will, and its influence and power will
