EDITOR PREss:-I have been look
ing for an item Of news from this
township for some time that might ill-.
terest the many readers of the Pass,
and have at last made the discovery.
On November 22d, the pupils Of
School District No. z. in Rootstown,
met at the school house and reorgan-
lied their Literary Society, in said
.District, and notice was given for
meeting of said Society On Friday
leFening, the 18th ult, AT this time
the Directors OF said District, Tor
some unexplained cause, came and
locked the door of the school house
against the Society and the many Wis
itors assembled to witness the per-
formance of said Society. After
keeping the Society and patrons of
the school out in the snow for one and
a-half hours, it was agreed that they
should open the house for the meeting
called on condition that the voters of
the District meet at the call of said
Directors and express their views in
regard to the matter. The Directors
called the said meeting on Tuesday
evening, December I'd, to see whether
they should be sustained in their
moiopoiy or NOT. The voters met
pursuant to call and denounced the
action, of the Directors, by vote of
lain favor Of opening the house for
liteary Improvement against 8to keep
it shut. There were 4Yoters who did
not attend. The Directors and the
Eve that voted with them represent
2scholars in the District School and

On Friday and Friday night, the
18th inst, we had constant and copi-
GUS rain. The consequences was that
on Saturday morning The Mahqnilg
river wason line aralnpage, saiserting
its authorlt y to- do amy and All the
mischief that might lie within, the
reach of its. esistlesscurrent. About
dark on Saturday evening, the flood
had reached it's greatest proportions,
completely overf1owlng all the low
lands along its course. / have heard
of no actual damage done, except the
carrying away ofsome shocks of corn
left standing along the bank, of the
river. l learn that at one time fears
were entertained for the safety of the
bridge at Rows Mills, but it with
stood the current. Had the river
raised foot or two higher the bridge
would undoubtedly have gone the
way of all bridges. The water was
nearly as high as has ever been known
to be.
BY the constant mutterings heard in
all directions we are reminded that
tax-paying time is at hand. When
the County Treasurer issued his notice
10 payers, it was. noticed that
Deerfield township was booked for a
tax for township purposes Of $685. rs.
Fhe general inquiry was what do lhe
trustees, want with nearly a thousand
dollars, for township purposesIP.' 1t
lis more than double the amount ass
sessed in any other township or in
corporated village. Some irrevercnt
Democrat said the matter was as
clear as Days They wanted to appro-
pirate ii iii the way of back-pay to
the township officers. Another, with
outlthe fear of Grant before his eyes,
suggested that they expected to be
engaged in some more law suits with
refractory Supervisors, and to pay the
costs in the case against Hartzell. Be
that as itarnay, The inquiries brought
to Day Slight the fact that our towiie
ship clerk 1--WE always put our town
ship clerk tirstl and the Trustees con-
cluded that they must levy tax of a
g couple Of hundred dollars for
township purposes, and our township
clerk, with all due respect and hu-
mility. we say 10 figuring out. that one
and a half mills on the dollar, on
valuation of $685. ,168 would about
make the amount they needed, and
accordingly the County Auditor was
notified TO assess that amount on the
i valuation of Deerfield township. Bv
some means cit must have been from
some little school boy,) 1T was found
that they had committed q bIunder.
a messenger was despatched to Ra-
VIENNA to have the error corrected.
But he came too late isThe thing
was didY-Deerfield was looking for
I a big thing--the auditor had put it in
the mill and ground the grist. The
result is that the taxpayers of Deer

fdollars more than is necessary as a

So general seems to be the conviction
that It has prompted President Grant
to snggest TO Congress an amendment
to the Constitution authofizing the
executive to approve so much of any

Congress as his judgment may die
