Mr.. Edtor:-I was called to see
Camery, when he was said to be shot,
by himself. l administered chloriiorm

animation of the wound, which was
over the cartilaginous union Of the

the union Of the ribs, between the ex-

OF the abdomen, not entering the alb

After three years army experience,
and having seen hundreds OF gun sho,
wounds from the various missiles used
in the service, and from the circum-

Census Superintendent

Several of our exchanges notice the
candidacy of Mrs. NJ. A. II. Cousins,
o! Alba for the Office OF Superinten-
dent of the Census, tor this Congress
81 nal District under the new Census
Bill, which it is expected Congress
will soon pass. We do not know this
applicant but the papers declare her to
be competent.
In this connection it may not lie
improper for us TO say that when it
comes to woman holding an Office
Of this character-and We see no rea-
son why woman should not do So
we have q woman i'll Toledo, as COM
petcnt as any woman need be for this
Office, and as honest aud trustwo r.hy
as any, man or woman dare be.
She is widow whose husband fell on
the battle field in defense OF the Stars
and Stripes, cmblems of justice every
where. We are assured, too, that she
is needy as well as deserving. We
do mt know as she wants the Office;
she has large stock of that modesty
which does not permit her to beg for
tavors, even for justice, and If she gets
this Office, or any other, it must be So
licited tor her by others. We have
thought ii proper for us to say this
much tor Mrs. Z. L. Dil!man, and we
believe that all who are acquainted
with her will vouch for the truth OF
all we have written.

An inspection OF the above table
cannot fai! to satisfy the Leader that
the position it Mas assumed is absurdly
untenable, unless, peradventure. it
should raise the objection that its 50
inches OF local news-matter is of more
worth and Importance than the 50
inches given 10y the REPUBLICAN, AS
that is matter which we can hardly
bring ourselves to the point of discuss
ing, we shall leave it to be settled by
our respective lists OF readers.
The claim made by the Leader as to
its superiority in this respect as COM
pared TO the Citizen, we leave for the
Citizen to deal with as it shall deem
best.
1t will be obvious to all that We
have been compelled to give the
amount of local news furnished week.
ly by the Citizen, by reason of the Pc
c liar nature OF the claim made by the
Leader, and that we have not done SO
tor the purpose OF making any inyid-
ious comparison.
We have not used the facts above
given, in any manner approaching. Or
Equivalent 70, the 81 irit attributed TO us
by the Leader. 1t we are not to be
permitted TO advertise our business
and commend the va'ue Of our own
products to the people in our own
way, without being charged with an
attempt to injure our neighbors, We
had better qul, our business, altogeth-

spite OF all the injury we do it, it had
better ablicate the Leadership OF Ia

| Adjourned on Saturday, last. AS
we anticipate laying before our readers,
next week, large portion Of the pro-
ceedings Of that body, we will only
-eier, at this time. to few acts that
merit special attention.
The appointment OF . Committee to
investigate the total expenses of the
County, was certainly called for. The
people want to know what it costs to
govern themselves. Ii the Committee
had been ordered to report the expend.
lures, classified, we conceive that the
results III the investigation would be
more satisfactory, as well as more ben
eficial. The members of the Commit
tee, Willard, Jaqua and r'orker, are
guarantee that the work will be we'll
done.
The Board appointed Committee,
the names Of the members of which we
did not learn. to look into and report
upon the practicability and advisibitv
Of establishing Poor Farm, in the
County, and ordered it to report to the
June Session of the Board. We hope,
as, also, do the people, that this Com
mittee will do its work thoroughly,
for the Poor expenses of the County
are, at present, very onerous, and il!
any plan can be adopted for keeping
the poor that shall reduce the expenses
of the same, it is to be hoped tina; such
plan will be put into operation as soon
as possible.
There was some disposition felt by
members, to decline allowing any COM
pensstion to TIE County Superintend-
ent beyond the simple So per day, pro |
vsded by law, but the Board concludedto
continue the extra 81 dollar which
was allowed the last year. We have
no idea that the Board knew how mar,
rowiy it came to electing new Coun-
ty Superintendent. We can not sup.
pose that the present Superintendent
would continue in Office tor IS per day,
when there are plenty avenues of duty
opon to him wherein he could do
mach better. We are assured that it
is only his love for the cause OF edu-
at;ontlatinduceshim to continue in his
Office at even his present compensation.
We know that better paying positions
have been declined by him.
We are not sure that the Board was
very complimentary to either the Fl.
nance Committee or the ex-Treasurcr,
when the resolution was passed APP
pointing Committee of one member
of The Board and skillful accountant
whose duty should be to examine thor
oughly the books and vouchers of the
from his entry into Office
till his retirement theretro a-especial.
ly after the Finance Committee had
examined his books and reported a set
tlement with him and the report of the
Committee accepted. II the Finance
Committees OF former Boards have
been faithful to their duty. and we have
no right 10 suppose otherwise, there
could be no necessity for this measure,
which can hardly fail to impose an ex
pense OF several hundred dollars upon
the County. We do no: learn that the
Committee has, as yet, been appointed.

DOly's Clothes Washer.

This useful and ornamental machine
was sent to us for trial. 1t has been
i'll use for four or FIVE weeks, and the
household authorizes feel warranted
in saying something in its behalf. The
following is from the pen of Mrs. True.
We are satisfied that the plea for the
Washer might have been stronger:
Doty's Clothes Washer IS a success.
Having had one in use for several weeks.
| :eel well enough acquainted with it
TO pass judgment upon it. | do not
know how one can ask more Of wash
ing machine than this will do. No
hand rubbing is necessary for the
clothes after they have been through,
the washer / have not touched q
wash board since the Doty came into
the house. II is the only machine !
know of tina: will remove streaks from
wrls.. and neck.5ands, and the gentle
ness with which it handles clothes is
very soothing to the nerves of those
who dislike mcnding and darning. 1t
is also All improvement on the old way
Of filling room with soap-suds and
steam. for this is all shut up within the
washer and assists in the cleansing OF
the clothes. BY the aid OF wringer,
which should always be used with tits
washer, heavy articles can be washed
as easily as light ones, and the whole
drudgery of washing is changed to
nleasaut work.

We made statement, which, at the
time, we thought could be substan-

veracity. With this we do not find
fault. 1t is very proper for the Lead

OF talsiiying the fact, if it chooses to do
SO. We assume, however, the right to
have something to say to all such
charges, and when our say is said, we
close the controversy.
