Daniel MccIynn.

The trial of this person, jointly in
dicted with Mcclellan and others of
Butler county, for the murder cfThos
Myers, was set for a hearing on Tues
day morning last, but owing to the
neglect of the Clerk of the Court to
serve a copy of the venire on the pris-
oner, on motion of the defence the
case was laid over for another term.
The defendants counsel then moved
the Court to admit the prisoners to
bail. on the ground that Thomas Nc
Gehan the principal conspirator haV-
ing been acquitted of the offense the
constitutional requirements were
thereby negatived. The Court over
ruled the motion, holding that the par
ties being all indicted as principals it
might be hat McGlynn and James
Mcclellan were guilty, whilst Jim Nc
Gehan was innocent.

There is nothing so provoking and
annoying to a publisher as to find er-
rors in his paper, after the edition has
been worked off. '"There are readers
who are never happier, as mere read
ers, than when they light upon a typo
graphical error in their favorite author
or journal. No beauty in the blemish-
ed page gives quite so much of a GER
tain kind of satisfaction as the blemish
itself, for that enables the reader to
rise for a moment superior to the
writer, however learned, brilliant or
graceful he may be. 1t is only people
unfamiliar with types who think it
worth their while to make an ado
about an inverted letter or a misplaced
comma. Typographical accuracy is
impossible even in works slowly and
carefully prepared. It is unreasona-
BILE 10 demand it in a newspaper, the
writing and printing of which are nat
urally done in haste. The wonder is
that there are so few mistakes. Let
readers reflect for a moment that eve
ry letter on this page is produced by a
separate piece of metal SO small that
only the most skillful fingers cal han
die it de~xterously. The slightest dis
placement of one ofthese slender strips
of lead would inevitably cause a blum
der. How easy IT is to drop a type,
or misplace. or dent it. Even after the
proof-reader has corrected his proof
sheet, all the chances, and a hundred
others are possible. In correcting one
error in the types, it is easy for the
compositor to disarrange a word in
another part of the next." z

our County omcers.


In the last issue of the Eaton "Reg-
istet" we find published the fees paid
to each of the office-holders of Preble
county, with this remark from the ed
itor of said paper: 1--WE think they are
very moderate" to which we beg leave
to very respectfully differ, not, howev-
er, through any party motives or poll
teal prejudice, but because we think
the tax payers are paying a little too
extravagantly for the whistle" when
compared with former years. Take
for instance the compensation of the
County Auditor, which amounts to
the snug little sum of $3,295,OOl live
mistake not, but a few years back, this
office did not cost the County but half
that amount, and vas probably as we'll
attended to as now. Why it is that
it has doubled itself in such a short
period we cannot say, while the other
Offices have not kept pace with it
Who can enlighten the taxpayers in
diligently upon this matter? Now,
we will agree to accept a life lease
upon the Office OF Auditor, never die
or resign, and give bond and security
for a faithful and honest discharge of
the duties thereof, for the sum of $4,000,
thus saving to the taxpayers of the
county TWELVE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY
THREE DOLLARS per year! The amount
paid the Treasurer was $2,3S5; Sheriff
So, 105 Clerk 50, 165, and Recorder but
$500, which should be almost double,
because there is more labor performed
in that position than in any other of
the County offices. For such {" fat
takes" is it any wonder there is a
wild scramble in the predominant par
ty who shall get them ? We believe
there is for reform, and the o
or the taxpayers demand it the better
for them.
