In some respects this change in the
assessment of the county, in our judg-
ment, will work a hardship upon our
people. The advance of 1872 per cent.
in the assessment on swine is surely
extravagant, and, besides, the Clerk
who did the footing up has certainly
made mistake, as the advance would
considerably exceed So 65S, which he
makes it, The original amount of the
railroad assessment was $2O4, 200, from
which the County Board deducted $S,-
234, leaving $195,776. Take from this
the $6,667.96, deducted by the State
Board and we have $1S9, 9,09904, in
stead of the $197 ,33204 which the State
Board returns. 1t seems to US, that in
view of the fact that the State Equal
izers have adjourned, our county
officers can only proceed to make the
advances and deductions upon the
basis ordered by the Board, and do
their own figuring as to results.
THE ALDINE.-S See the Prospectus of
this most superb journal next week.
This is truely the finest art journal ever
published. Any one who examines
the November number will be surpris-
ed at the sumptuousness of its illustra-
tions, as well as the highliterary merit
of its poetry and prose. Besides the
two full-page original pictures, this
number contains reproductions of
three celebrated steel engravings,
which alone would cost at the picture
shops no less than thirty dollars. The
Atdine pictures are every way as fine
as the steel engraYings. We haYe not
space to specify in detail the beauties
presented in this periodical, except to
say that they are uhrivalled.
AND MORE CoMINa.-TV have just
ordered from the type foundry of
Painter & Co., ofSan Francisco, large
invoice of new job type and material,
embracing the latest styles of type out.
This material will arrive in about a
eek, when we expect to be prepared
to execute any sort of work required in
the. most superior style of the "art
preservative." Don't forget to give us
a call, and we will show you that there
is no longer any need of sending away
from hon:e for your job work. We ex-
pect to compete with foreign prices
and styles.

THE PARKER GuN.-We received
this week by express, one of the cele-
brated Parker breech-loading shot
guns. We have tried it, and it gives
the very best satisfaction. 1t is con-
venient, reliable and effective, and we
believe there is no better sporting gun
manufactured than the d. B. B. L.
ghot gun made by Parker Brothers,
Vest Meriden, Conn. The gun is
beauty, and shoots as well as it looks,
at long or short range, and with large
or small shot.-Fenton Mich Gazette.
Nor A SUcoEss.-A couple of AL
bany ladies, who were last week visit
ing in the country, don't want any
body to ask them how they like to ride
a mule. That mule was too slow, and,
besides, the saddle would persist in
riding underneath his body instead of
on top. And who ever heard of mule
"carrying doublep when he could just
as we'll shake his load off as not2 An
unsophistieated equine might do it
but n mule--neyer!
