Common Pleas for the Eighth Judicial Dis
tr7ct Of Ohio:
In pursuance Of law, the Commissioners of
Monroe County present their Annual Report,
together with reports OF County Infrmary Di-
rectors and other county officers It will be
seen that the expenditures of the county Gene

this fund are beyond the control ofetie Com
Inissioners-the Court of Common Pleas issue
their orders for the payment of counseiiors,
jurors. witnesses, sheriff &C., as well as orders
from the Probate Judge. Your Commissioners
think It ,7ould be advisable to have q separate
fund, which srnight be named the Judiciary
Fund, for expenses OF the Court of Common
Pleas and Probate Court, also expenses before
Magistrates N State cases, and thus keep the
expenses of the county separate from the Judi
ciary. Previous TO late act of TIE BeSisla-
ture the Commissioners were authorized to al
low counsel such sums for defending prisoners
as they considered Just end reasonable, the
amount rarely exceeding twenty 70 fifty dollars;
the power is now taken from them, and the sum
awarded by the Judge of the Court of Common
not to exceed $l00 Your Commissioners lev
led on the tax duplicate of the present year one
mill on the dollar for the building of court
house, purchase of lots, iron fence, outbuild-
ings, DC, which they expect is ample to pay all
that is due. From petitions numerously signed
that two bridges were very much needed ,ope at

and the other at Narrows run, Lee township.
your Commissioners contracted for building the
abutments at the two places; the one at Mar
rows run is satisfactorily completed, and the
other is in progress toward completion. Your
Commissioners are happy to state that tie taxes
for the present year will lie less than for some

CoTToN ACREAGE AND CRoP.-The re-
turns already received by the Depart
ment of Agriculture from three hun
dred counties representing the most
productive districts in each of the cot
growing States show that there is a
diminution of the cotton acreage in
every State except Florida. According
to these figures the present area de-
voted to cotton Will be seven and half
or eight million acres, or over million
less than in 1870. 1t is not possible to
tell what the average yield per acre will
be; in 1870, an unusual year, it was
200 pounds, but in former years the av-
erage has not been higher than $50 per
acre. The condition of the growing
plant is below an average in nearly
every State. The Spring has been I'M
usually wet and cold, retarding growth,
causing many of the plants to turn vel
low and die, and obstructing cultivation.
To large extent replanting has filled
the vacant places of imperfect stands"
The weather has recently been more
favorable, and it is not impossible that
an average condition may be attained
by the commencement of the packing
season. The condition of cotton in
1869, year favored with an abundant
yield, was only little better than the
showing of June this year. While the
prospect is slightly unpromising, there
is nothing in it of decisive character.
A NEW style of material for morning
dresses is called Mandarin lawn.

Fashion Notes.

BROADWAY handles wear bright red
kid gloves.
UPON plain linens, folds and single
pleating nave entirely replaced puffs
and ruffies.
BLOUSE waists are no longer drawn to
band, but made to pass over the hips
and tasten with a drawing-string.
OTTOMAN shawls are fashionable for
the promenade.
MANY stylish costumes are being
trimmed with fringe made of the ma
terial of the dress.
WHISPER from oversee says Russian
leather is going to be favorite dress
trimming next winter.
SWISS muslins are now made with a
great deal of velvet and black lace on
the waist and overskirt.
PARAsoLs are larger this season and
heavily fringed, making no light burden
for delicate hands to bear.
CHANGEABLE silk dresses are no longer
considered fashionable or stylish, as they
never come in very heavy quality.
BANGLES of gold, or silver gilt, with
little tinkling bells attached, are worn
by London bellies round their ankles.
LADIES watches are now made in an
oval case to look like lockets, and worn
on the necklace.
VERY wide sash ribbons, tied behind
with long, loose loops, will continue to
be worn by children. The newest are
in solid colors, with narrow fringe all
around.
EMBROIDERY on the material, insertions
of needle-work, ruff1es, and above all,
braiding, are the trimmings for chill
dren's pique dresses. Braiding around
insertions of needIe-work is much used.
PRETTY little jackets of brown cordu-
roy, slashed and faced with silk an inch
wide, are worn on cool mornings by little
boys. Pretty jackets Of blue flannel
and of twilled cloth richly braided are
also worn.
A PRETTY novelty among the impor-
tations is buff linen dresses, embroid-
cred with dotted borders in white and
scarlet. These make up beautifully.
Palmer buff and brown linens, for school
or travelling, are made in the princess
fashion, and trimmed with brown wors-
ted braid. Three or four rows border
the skirts. while single row follows
the seam of the side form of the over
dress, passing over the shoulders.
ONE of the finest and simplest dresses
of the week was Of rich black silk with
an. overskirt and waist of black grena-
dine. The overskirt was very bOu6dnt
and the sleeves flowing, both edged with
beautiful trimming Of black and white
lace, with leaf pattern exactly CORES
ponding in both laces, the black being
laid over the white. The corsage was
pointed, and edged with full fold of
white tulle.
ARMURE silks are all the rage for sum-
mer dresses. They are imported in all
the lovely neutral ecru, and are almost
uniformly employed in two shades of
the same colors, or in connection with a
solid silk of different shade of the
same color.

How We Used TO be Physicked.

Who does not remember the time when spring pur-
CATION was considered indispensable to summer
health? No matter for wry faces. the inevitable salts
and senna rhubarb or calomel and alap, must be ad
ministered These "spring medicines" the young
sters were told were to keep them hale and hearty
during the summer. We all know now that this was
fallacy that new vigorno depletion is what is re-
ouired at the commencement of the summer solstice
As preparation for the enervating effects of oppres
sve summer weather. course of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is highly expedient. This famous vegetable
production has three prominent properties: 1t rene
Yates puries and regulates all the functions of the
body 1t is composed exclusively of pure vegetable
productions viz the essential principle of Mononga
hea Rye and the most eficacious tonic and altera-
tive roots banks and gums known to medical botan-
lists Hence it is absolutely safe medicine, and
tincture of the Pharmacopoeia compare with it,
either purity in the variety of its Objects and its
comprehensive results. Happily for mankind, the
theory that it necessary to PROSTATE patient in
order him, is forever exploded, and the true
philosophical doctrine, that vgor is the great anag
onst of disease has taken its place. Hostetters Bit
tiers is invigorant and hence it is the proper med-
cine for the feeble at this most trying season of the
year.
Be that you obtain the genuine article as there
are nnumerabe vile limitations in the market. Look
to the ornamental stamp the engraved LABEL and the
name bowed into the glass Hostetters Stomach Bit

War on the COreanS.

The following was received at the
Navy Department on the 28th inst,
from Corea, under date Of the 23d:
To the Secretary of the Navy.
The Coreans not apologizing for their
treacherous attack on the 10th, we landed on
Kang Noe and took and destroyed the lower
fort and munitions. On the 18th we took
another fort, and then stormed and captured
a stronghold. Five forts have been taken.
The troops which defended them are report
ed as numbering II 900. There was desper-
ate hand-to-hand fighting in the citadel.
The ordnance was destroyed, 4S1 pieces,
principally small brass pieces; very many
small arms, and so flags were taken. We
counted 243 dead Coreans around the citadel.
We had three killed. They were the gallant
Lieut.. Mckee, who was the first inside the
citadel-killed with bullet and spear;
marine Dennis Hamahan, and landsman
Seth Allen. Of nine wounded, all are out of
danger and doing well.

CANCERS CURED.-An alleged discovery
of cure for cancer from a specific de-
rived from plant which grows in
Ecuador Is exciting much interest in
medical circles. A curious story is told
of the manner in which the anti-cancer
virtueso of this plant were first discovered
For a long time previous to this dis
covery the plant had been regarded as
a poison. Acting upon this belief, an
Ecuador wife who desired to rid herself
of her husband gave him decoction of
this plant in his drink. The fellow was
already slowly dying of cancer in his
stomach, but her eagerness could not
wait for the ordinary sequel in such
cases. She applied the noxious distilla-
ton to his drink and waited to see him
fall at her feet. But instead of that the
happy husband survived The subtle
essence benefited his cancer, and the
fellow finally recovered from his disease
to make known the blessing to the
world.
Nor MERELY TO TICKLE THE PALATE, but
to infuse health and vigor into the
enervated and diseased system, is the
high purpose and sure effect of DR..

This famous restorative creates no sud
den flash of excitement, to be succeeded
by increased debility and ten-fold gloom.
1t braces the relaxed nerves and imparts
permanent tone and regularity to the
whole animal machinery. Dyspepsia,
liver complaint, physical prostration,
diarrhea and in fact nearly all COM
plants that are not organic, yield to its
operation.
