IMPORTANT MEErING.-We have full
minutes of the proceedings of the Board
of Trustees of the city, last night. 1t
was the most important n ever held.
The finances of the municipality are in a
horrible condition, and the Board passed
three ordinances by which a positive
monthly retrenchment will enure, on
salaries alone, of $675. The Marshal's
license fees were reduced from 81 for
each license Qong or short term to 81.
The petition of citizens and taxpayers,
praying the Board to reconsider their ac-
ton. declining to enter into a paying ar
rangement with the Water Works, and
praying that a tax be levied to secure
water facilities for fire purposes, was
read, and on motion, a committee of
three were appointed to confer with the
Water Company's agent and report at
the next meeting of the Board. The
vie VS. of the petitioners were deliberately
presented to the Board by r. d. Fergu-
son, Esq. We have only room for the
above report to-day but will give the
proceedings more particularly tomorrow.
ANOTHER 'PEEpINa Tom. There is a
fellow in town who has lately developed
q dangerous monomania for seeing femi-
nine nature unadorned. His vicious Gu
riosity prompts him to approach houses,
where ladies' reside, about the time of re-
firing, and trying to get an inside view
of their chambers. He had temerity
enough a few nights since to even tear
the mosquito bar from the window of a
lady whose husband was absent; but he
met with "A warm welcome, for the Chi
yalric female leyeled her husband S re-
volyer at him, and sped a bullet in his
direction, whereupon he s~kedaddled.
The next shot may ring his bell for him,
AMI we would therefore advise him to re-
press his yenturesome curiosity, or take
"a walk to parts where firearms are not so
generally considered a necessary article
of domestic furniture.
A BIC FEED.-The delegation of Indi-
ans, that cut so distinguished a figure in
the procession on Monday, had a big
feast after they were dismissed. Mr..
Wilmington and Colonel Buckley pre-
scented Mr.. Gheen with a large beef,
which he turned over 10 the Indians,
who made quick work Of it, and lived
high until the carcass was exhausted.
BASE BALL MATcH.-The match be-
tween the Pogonips and Shuttle Feet, on
the afternoon of the 4th, was won by the
latter. The play was very poor on both
sides on account Of the bad condition of
the field.
NEW PAPER AT EuREKA.-The mate
rial Of the late Shermantown Reporter
has been transported to Eureka, and we
expect soon to greet the new publication.
Another Chance, would be a unique
and opposite lame.

HELP THOSE WHO HELP. YOU
That No. State paper the Daily Reg
lister talks good, sound sense as fol-
lows;
1--WE believe there Is a returning
reason coming over our people In this
respect: for we find scores Of persons
who have always taken Chicago pa-
pers, quitting them and tnkin9 the
Register. We hope our experience Is
being realized by every other publish
err in the State, and trust that the
people In every County are beginning
to appreciate and reward the Press
that has 80 long lnbored without the
hire Of which 1t has been SO worthy.
Build up your home Press, as II builds
YOU up, and together you will grow
rich and great. You may get paper
from Chicago for dollar. and you
can also buy reading matter by the
ton, and buy 1t cheap: but in that
which YOU buy for dollar. or buy by
the ton. you will never find yourself
benefited, or even mentioned. while
the paper published In your own town
does not send out an issue. and cannot
send out an issue, which, does not
benefit and profit you. A thing Is not
always cheap because you can get u
for n dollar. nor good because 1t comes
from a distance. Help those who
HELM you: and the two dollars you
! will pay to home paper will return
before year multiplied many times"

week to the new Advertisement Of
Messrs. Wilson, Carpenter & Co., Of
the Dallas Store. This Is the second
Store Adv't that has ever appeared In
this paper from any place In the Coun-
ty except Knoxville md Pella. Things
ought not so to be. People at distance
Judge of a County by its paper, and
always will and must do 80. And
Judging by either Of the Knoxville
papers. there Is no business done In
the County except right here In town.
Gentlemen, It will pay you to ndver-
tise In your County papers. Even for
the sake Of your towns alone, 1t would
pay you to club together and make up
money to pay for some Advertisements
In your County popers-above and
beyond what 1t would pay the Store
or business advertised.

CLERKS FEEs.-We wish to call the
attention Of our General. Assembly to
the matter of the fees Of Clerks of the
District and Circuit Courts. The Clerk
gets no fees in criminal cases when
the State fails. What good reason
can be given for this? Sheriffs, Justi-
ces, ConstabIes, Jurors and Witnesses
are all paid in such cases, and why
should not the Clerk have his fees?
Again, where is the sense in requiring
the Clerk to pay the Probate fees to
the County Treasurer before he can
procure warrant to draw 1t out?
Again, there is now no officer about
the Court House authorized to solem-
nize marriages; why not confer this
power on the Clerk? Who more
proper than the officer who issues the
license?-SYgOnrney Ne1Ds.

SKATING MATCH.--The Pella folks
had a grand Skating Match on the
lake near Amsterdam last Monday,
for prize of$l0. There was good
crowd out, and all went off first-rate,
as we hear, until, after the Match,
some men~ I'M sleighs attempted to
come upon the ice. The skaters re-
sisted; and general fight ensued, in
which fists, knives and other hostile
weapons were used, and two or three
persons quite severely wounded

indebted for over-the-river items like
this, has not as yet come to hand this

No sooner said than done. The boots
looked shiny as need he, while Dick
