Governor. has directed the Auditor Of

are situated, to enter the same upon
the duplicates for taxation.
The companies coutrovert this theo-

granted merely to induce parties to un'
dertake the construction Of railroads,

lands to raise money, they made loans

The Danbuary News says: 1t is little singular
how well pair OF boots can be made to fit at the
store. You may not be able to get your foot only
part way down the leg at the first trial, but that
is because your stocking is sweaty,or you haven't
started right, and the shoemaker suggests that
you start again aud stand up to il, and he throws
in a little powder from a pepper-box to aid
you. And 30 you stand up and pound down your
foot, and partly trip yourself up and your eyes
stick out in an unpleasant manner, and every vein
In your body appears to be on the point of burr
ting, and all the while that dealer stands around
and eyes the operation as intently il the whole
affair was perfectly new and novel to him. When
your foot has finally struck bottom, there is a
faint impression on your mind that you have
stepped into an open stove, but he removes it by
solemnly observing that he never saw boot fit
quite al good as that.
You may suggest that your toe presses too
hard against the front, or that some OF the bones
in the side of the foot are too much smashed,
but he says this is always the way with new
boot, and that the trouble will entirely disappear
in a few days. Then you take the old pair under
your arm and start for home as animated as .
relic Of 1912, all the while feeling that the world
will not look bright and happy to you again until
yoHhaVe Drained that shoemaker, You limp
