4 Census Of Hartford County.

MR. EDITOR: In these days of hard times
and hightaxes, Immediately following some
what heated political campaign, the keynote
OF which was economy and retrenchment in
county expenditures; when the columns of
our county papers teemed with imputalions
ofoflicial extravaganza and excessive charges;
when the people were warned to beware of
the vortex of financial ruin into which they
were about to leap, and the propriety was
urged upon them of filling public positions
with good and true men, who would guard
with jealous eye the public interests, and
oppose every scheme which would deplete
the public treasury without rendering an
equivalent i'll welfare to the county-after
all this, | am surprised, Mr.. Editor, to OBJ
serve, by the proceedings Of the Legislature,
that bill has been introduced into that body
10 provide for taking q census of Hartford
county. Can you inform me what the OBJ
lect OF this bill is? What good purpose will
it subserve to know just how many men,
women and children there are in Hartford
This knowledge would cost the county seye.
raj thousand dollars to attain-to have the
census properly taken-and when done and
the money is expended, the county will be
no better of We all believe that the U. s.
census is incorrect, but as our representation
III the Legislature and in Congress, and our
proportion OF the State school fund is based
upon that census, it does not seem right to
squander the funds ofthe county for the mere
qualification of idle curiosity.
Let the amount thus sought to be taken
out of the public treasury be spent upon our
public roads, OF appropriated to our public
schools. Every tax payer could see and feel
the benefit of that. l may be called an old
togy, for holding such Anticipated views; but
if" old togy," means one who desires to see
the strictest economy consistent with prop.
er administration of county affairs, and the
holding OF every public servant to rigid ac-
countability for the performance of his du.
ties, then am an old togy. These are mere
ly the opinions ofa taxpayer and an advo-
cate OF GOOD ROADS

Col. JACK WHARToN-The Muylund
Journal publishes an extract from the New
Orleans Times Of recent date, in which it is
said that
ut has been unotiicially announced that one
of the last acts Of Gov. Warmoth, previous to
leaving the city, was to appoint Col. Jack
Wharton-the genial jack" TO lucrative
office. 1t is some satisfaction to know its
benefits will accrue in this case to one of our
own people, who, throughout the war, attest
ed his devotion to his countrymen on many
well fought field. Col. Wharton is univer-
sally recognized in his private capacity as an
able man and one of high integrity. That
he has been honored with such a solid mark
of Gubernatorial confidence, while generally
gratifying, can only be explained by the old
motto-that politics makes strange bed.fel-
lows"
Col. Wharton, it will be recolected by
many of our readers, was formerly a resident
of this town, during which period he studied
law under the preceptorship of the late Hon.
Ohio Scott, and was admitted to the bar at
this place. So that the claim on the Colonel
as " or Jack Wharton" which is laid by the
Journal in virtue of his residence at Towson.
town for some two years, may in some sort
be shared by ourselves. At all events, we
are pleased to hear of the Coils success, as
we are sure that no sacrifice of his political
principles has been made for his advancement.

THE GROUND HoG.-However incredulous
some people may be as to the truth of the
"old saw" that if the ground hog sees his
shadow on Candlemas Day, February I'd, he
goes into his hole and remains there for six
weeks-well knowing that for that length of
time the weather will remain intensely cold
they must, at least acknowledge that the
sagacious animal was right this year, for we
have certainly had an unprecedentedly cold
spell of weather. And to still further prove
the sagacity OF his hogship, and is an evidence
that the cold weather is at last at an end, we
have the authority of several "old sports" for
saying, that the ground hog is out again, and
intends TO remain out for the balance of
the season. All you've got to do is to go
cunning for him.-Lancaster IntelligenceT
THE ground hog has certainly made a
grievous mistake if he has remained out of
his hole, for the weather this week has been
more appropriate to mid-winter than early
spring.

The Epizootie.
This horse epidemic has at length ar
rived in our midst and bids fair to spread
throughout the county. Many of the
horses in town are affected. The equines
in Kemp's, Noonan's and Harris's livery
stables, Adams Express horses and others
were taken down at the beginning of the
week. The disease. we are happy to state,
prevails in this locality in very mild
form, and if anything like careful attention
/ is given the animals, there will be no loss
III life. Among the horses affected are the
beautiful match-sorrels of Dr. Taylor Hol-
liday, and the family horses of Henry M.
Brent, Jr. and r. L. Barton, Esq. The
disease lasts about ten days. We have no
doubt that much Inconvenience will be the
result, as country folks do not like to
bring their horses to town. Consequently
there will be falling off if the matter of
produce. We think that it already has some
what effected our market
y We have heard OF the following remedy
being used with decided effect, for the
horse disease now prevalent:
One ounce of syrup of squills once day;
linament to rub the neck: equal parts Of

Important.

Important. ..s--
We would call the attention of our town
council to the fact that we have no means
of protecting ourselves against fire. 1t is
true we have been fortunate, and have not
lost any property by not having a fire en-
CINE and necessary apparatus, but We do
not know at what time the safety OF
the entire town may be endangered
by neglect of proper precaution.
A good fire engine with necessary
amount of hose can be purchased
for about eight hundred dollars. The an
nual interest would be forty eight dollars.
Does the amount compensate us for the
risk which we run? Our houses are most
" built of wood and in time of fire, our
safety depends upon checking the flames
at the earliest possible moment. Theques-
ton which should present itself to the
council is not, are we able to pur-
chase fire APPARATUS but. are we able to do
withoutit? We hope that this subject will
be considered by our council, for should
there be any loss sustained for the want OF
suitable fire apparatus, the responsibility
must necessarily rest upon the council.
