The Board has endeavored to restore the vari-
ousf funds to a healthy condition, aud are pleas
ed to report that all funds with one exception)
show balance, especially the General Revenue
or county fund, which was largely in debt to
other fur DIS in former years. Good manage
ment will keep said fund in proper condition in
the future.
The domand upon the bridge fund has been
very large three bridges were built during last
year, and one now in progress. When this
bridge is completed it is reasonable to suppose
that great reduction can be made in the expen-
ditures for such purposes m the future. -
For the exact condition of all the funds we

My endure MINT is Curnb bic!

"What cant be cured must be endured, "
says the proverb; bnt indigestion can be cured,
and therefore it is the merest stupidity to endure
it. Dyspeptics have certainly right to continue
dyspepics to the end of their daysif they choose,
but as is not supposed that any rational being
prefers physical torn ut to ease and health, TIA,
probability is that if all Sufferers from ind ges-
ton were convinced that absolute, infaibl,
remedy for their complaint existed, they would
with one accord resort to it. We most emphati-
calIy declare that such remedy does exist, and
that its name is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters

of more than twenty years, and 1t Is fearessly

Tur WsATHER.--We have been visited with
the rouphest weather remembered in this county
in the month of February for long years, in the
last ten days 1t has ralned, hailed, ''snewed,
blewed and friz alternately until Wednesday
last. when it grew fair ard pleasant A half inch
Of snow fell At Lincoln and Pine, points rarely
visited at any time in the year by the beautiful
element, and grew deeper as the hills and noun
tains grew higher until at the summit it is said
to be twenty feet deep. On Monday and Tues
day morning the mercury fell to 2S0, forr degrees
below the freezing point, and snow, slush nd
the ground was frozen hard enough to bear a
mans weight. All this has done no harm, un-
less the almonds are killed but it was extremely
disagreeable to both man and beast. From the
accounts Of the amount of snow in the noun
tains. warm rain would make disastrous floods
in the valleys, and also deprive the miners and
ditch men of their snow bank to draw on for
mining water for Summers use. We make these
notes without the least disposition to growl, bui
only as a most unusual thing so late in February
in this section Of country.

We of course, have church and Sunday school
both pretty well attended by those religiously
inclined, your humble servant included Last
night Monday we had our usual meeting of the

the auspices of Professors Smith {. Fuller, both
perfect gentlemen and masters of their profes-
sion; and dancers think that in Mr. Branstetter' S
new hail, with good music and pleasant compa-
NY, no even ng could be Fuller of enjoyment
Should like to have told you of long, wavy float
ing hair, dresses and all the other paraphernaia
of our evening party, but old folks sometimes
have to stay at home Am sorry l cannot tell
you all about stock, sheep and turkey raising
how many acres of land are used for each; what

Well, dear is your letter written? sad all yor
have to say?
Complained that the clouds grow darker, not sc
fair as last May
That the prize for which you have striven-
thought of night and day
Floated out of your reach altogether, leaving o.
hope no ray?
How foolish to tell your trouble for what do peo
pie care
How yonr future lies before you or the weather
dark or fair ?
And each heart has its sorrow and wearisomC
grief to bear,
And eagerly watch for buds and flowers to spring
from the sleep of despair
Let me give you word of caution dear, don
wear your heart on your sleeve;
Nor tell your idle fancies facts for your friends
to believe,
But just be true little woman, try your pas
faults to retrieve,
And when you think of the lost one why, ove
split milk do not irieve.
