here is very large, and that the exact
amount can never be ascertained. There
is said to be nothing to show how many of
these bonds are yet unpaid, and that it is
not certain that the bonds falling due July

One of the laws enacted by the late Leg

CLINTON COUNTY.
The wheat prospect of our county never
looked better.
Hon. Thos. Geffs, reported to the As
SCISSOR of his township that he had, during
the past year, six hundred and fifty sheep
injured by the dogs. The loss to Mr.. Geffs
was greater than the value of the entire
dog crop of our county.
We hear pretty general complaint
from the farmers that the corn planted has
not come up regularly, and in several in
stances whole fields have to be replanted.
Fayette county last year reported a.
667 head of hogs for taxation. Pickaway
had SO, 1O8. Clinton had So, ,85I, and Ross
61,508. This year Pickaway reports only
55,0O1 head which is falling off from last
year of Is, ,666 head. We gave last week the
number in our county at $685. which is
considerably above Pickaway for this year.
