I<'nis Napoleon, ex-EmperOr Of France, died
sndd-nly, ON the 9Th nst at Chiselhnrst, England,
wherr ho has resided since his exile from France.
The accounts say his death Was caused by 'embo-
lisni." (what-ver that is) He had for years suf-
feretl from urinary disease, which number Of
times threatened his life. He had undergone
several surgical operations just previous to his
death, and his physicians were preparing for an
other, when fatal change suddenly took place
in his condition. His decline rapid, that
his son, his spiritual advisor, and other friends
who were summoned in haste, had not time to
rrach him before he died.
The life of Louis Napoleon has been one Of rO-
mantle vicissitndes. He to power, and for .
time held imperial sway, upon the credit and
prestige Of the Bonapartes; yet he had none If
the Bsnapartc blood in his veins. He the
s"n Of Hortcnsc, daughter Of Josephine, the d.
vorced wife Of Napoleon Bonaparte-and it has
been asserted that he illegitimate. At
one time, during the reign Of the Bourbons, he
was exile in the United States, where he was
n penncss vagabond. Returning to Europe, he
figured quietly until the Revolution Of ls4s, when
he rode into power the tide Of popular excite
ment. He chosen President, and quickly
paved the way for his elevation to the dignity Of
Emperor, through the empty form Of q popular
election; and subsequently,, through similar op-
Grafton, he clothed himself with still more des-
potic power. During his reign, he prosecuted
two great and successful wars-those Of the Cri-
inca and Austria-besides numerous lesser ones
But his popularity began to wane, and France
showetl symptoms Of another revolution. To
trieve his waning popularity and power, he m
sierto0k the war with Germany: but disaster up-
on disaster bcfcll him from the beginning until
his total discontinue, near the fatal scene Of the
Great Napoleon's last hattie. He dared not again
trust himself in France, but t"sk mp his residence
in England, where he waited and watched across
the Channel for something to turn mp. Something
has TUNED up-it is his toos. He leaves son,
who will probably one day impose himself upon
France. and after brief reign Of extravaganza
and fraud, will flee to some other country, to es

TIE Pasper Q.eseis..

nc Dcf Q0e80Oos
We learn that our article, last week, on this
snhject, was miasPpr-hended Ly some persons,
VII" to"k it As reflection npon the County Boarl.
1t was not 81 intended. We believe that the mem-
bcrs Of the Board do all in their power to protsrt
the interests If the County, aud that they would
not knowingly allow fraudulent account.
What We aimed At, was tn show up the practice
that pr'vaIs o 81 great an extent Of indv viluals
running thcir had arc"nnts in nIs,n tie County,
n'"icr the I'atil'er dsslSr The Commissioners
frequently 'mH"s'i upon in this way. All Snch
accounts must is certified to by the Trustee Of
the Township from which the claim cn,n..r
sometimes the Trustees are not as careful as they
should br, and often they are themselves imposed
upon.
The case We refrrr,-l to. last week. Was that If
the nesr" Sandy Shackl-for,i. at White Cloud. \
bill was presented to the County, running fr"m
the 10th to the last Of Ortolr-r. apparently the
entire groc-ry bill of the family with which he
was staying. 1t was stated to the Commissioners
or the Trustee, that he WAS not able To be renov-
ed to the Poor H"us and that it was necessary to
suPI"rt him outside. Shackl-ford was shot in
frscas. in September last. On the 10Th Of Otto
ber, he was much improved, and could very safe
ly have been removed TO the, Poor House. The
latter part Of Oct"ber, farmer had engaged him
t" 20 with on his farm. but others persuaded him
t" stay, promising {" board aud take care of linn
free Of eost-they wanted t" use him in the ap-
proaching election: aud now the Comfy has been
saddled with the bill for his support, including
the time that be was employed as = striker.
