occasion to notice this superb map
of our State, and as it is about to be
introduced here we desire again to
call the the attention of our citizens
to it's excellencies. 1t is at once the
largest, clearest and most carefully
prepared map of Wisconsin ever pub
ished. Mr.. Chapman has done the
State service that merits q hand
some recognition, and we hope the
people will so far appreciate this IS to
literally patronize an enterprise
which was undertaken at great ex.
pense and labor-involyiDg consider
atle risk financially. This map is
50 by 60 inches IN size, and is hand.
somely mounted on English muslin.
The scale is six miles to the inch,
thereby relieving the map OF that
crowded appearance noticed in all
maps heretofore published. All the
railroads, built or projected, are &C.
oarately laid down, and stations and
post offices given. An agent will
soon canvass the county for the sale
of these maps Several specimens
of these may be seen at the HERALD
office, where they are left by the
General agent, Mr.. French, for in

LEsLIE's CONCERT TRoUPE.-Last
Friday evening this troupe gave one
of their unequaled concerts at the old
Congregational Church. Owing to
the short notice given, their audience
was not as large as it would have
been had they advertised here some
days sooner. As an evidence that
their ability to give first class enter
tainment was fully appreciated, il is
only necessary to state that they were
roundly applauded and recalled to the
stage. They again appeared before
our people on Tuesday evening and
we're greeted with full house. The
troupe sing in PIatteville this evening,
and the music loving people of that
village will consult their own interest
by giving them full house.

Mr.. Newcomb is o decided success,
as lecturer. His address, was able

indeed that our people have oppor-
tunity of hearing lecture of so
much real merit 1t would do cred
it to many professional lecturers OF

To TAx~PAYERs AND Town TREAS.

To TAXPAYERS AND Town TREAS.
RERs.-Here:ofor it has been the
power of Town Boards to extend
the time for paying taxes, but Law
of last winter (see Chap. 1873, G. L.
1879 rests this power in the Gov
ernor alone. For the information OF
all we publish the law entire. II
will be seen that the manner in
which an extension can be had nec-
essitates the making out of new
tax roll, which would be attended
with so much trouble and expense
that no extension will probably be
asked by any of the towns in the
County. 1t is we'll enough that tax
payers should bear this 10 mind and
not delay payment too long or the
County Treasurers fees will attach.
Read the law:
SECrioN /. If from any cause whatever,
the proper officers of any town, city or viii
lage in this state, shall be unable 10 collect
the usual regular, annual, state, county,

or village, il shall be lawful, and the gov
ernor OF said state is hereby authorized and

cleik or clerks, and treasurer or treasurers
OF said towns villages or cities, commanding
said clerk or clerks, forthwith to proceed and
make out a new tag roll for said taxes above
canned, and for no other, and said treasurer
or treasnrers TO collect the seine.
SEC. 2. Upon the receipt of such order or
command, the said clerk shall proceed TO
make out new tax roll for said above named
taxes, with a warrant annexed, the said roll

same manner as 10 other tax rolls. and upon
the receipt of the country treasuTeI's receipt
tor the town, city or village treasurer's bond
10 deliver the same to town treasurer, who
shall then proceed TO execute said warrant in
the same manner in all respects as II provides
by law for the collection of other taxes.
Sec. 3. Upon the issuing of the said last
tax roll. the similar taxes In the
original roll shall be null aid VOID, and the
said taxes in the said last issues tax roll
shall be Of full force III the law, and all laws
in relation to the levy and collection of taxes
so far as they will make said taxes legal and
sffectual, shall apply thereto.
SEC. 4. ANY clerk or treasurer who shall

fessor King of Cincinnati, Ohio, physician
OF about forty years practice author of the
american Eclectic Dispensatory )" work
on Chronic diseases of over sixteen hundred
pages, and other reliable STANDARD works for
the medical pi ofession. His long experience
and practical knowledge has enabled him to
get up work suited T. the wants of the peo-
pie, free from incomprehensble medical
terms. No one need fear being imposed upon
by this book. 1t is a high toned moral, d
deep mental and thoroughly medical work.
Scientific in every respect, but free from
tee nicalities, and professional obscurities.
DIR. Kings wide reputation as a safe, ju-
dclous and experienced practitioner and his
being extensively engaged in education ply
sicians, are the best guarantee that could be
offered, that thi book, viii is the muture
product of all his study and practice is one
worthy of confidence. Especially should it
be in the hands of every mother, treatise SO
plain on all diseseas ofchildren, showing the i'm
portance of timely action, when simple rem
edies and good nursing will do more than
strong medicines and eminent physicians

The Health OF Farmers.

/ Farmers have unequaled natural advan
tages for health, strength and longevity,
The statistics Of diseases and the tables
of mortality, however, are against them.
This is due not to their vocation, but to
their misusas of it. No class, as whole,
is probably SO utterly reckless of health
conditions. SO far as our acquaintance
with the habits Of farmers is concerned
and it has been extensive-it eompels
the conclusion. as rule, that the dietic
habits of farmers are worse than those
ofany other class who have the means
of choosing for themselves. Fried dishes
several times day, with several fried
articles at each Of the meals is one of
their common denominations; dried beef
old cheese and pickles are among the
common reli-hes, while lard and saleratus
make their richer daipties infectious and
caustie; we have seen oi, IL farmers table
fried pork, fried eggs, fried potatoes and
fried griddle cakes for breakfast; fried
ham, fried hominy and fried parsuips
for dinner; and fried sausages aud fried
doughnuts for supper the frying
done in lard. No class is so troubled
with canker' erysipelas, tumors, cancers,
and humors as farmers; AID the excessive
use of pork, lard, fine flour, rich cakes
and greasy pastry are enough to ac-
count for it, In dietic habits our farmers
are sadly mised by the agricultural
journals, nearly all Of which pander to
their prejudices, and Aatter their NOR
bid appetites by recommending and
commencing swine breeding ana pork
eating, while they gil their kitchen
column with receipts for makiug' rich
and palatahle' buildings, pies cakes
AID other complicated diseases, which no
stomach ever carried inside a human
body could long tolerate without death
or dyspepsia. The essential need ofour
farmers is plain, wholesome food, pro-
perly cooked. This would give them
much more available strength for work,
relieve them of many of the distresses
and expenses of sickness, add many
years to their lives, and render old age
"green" and normal, instead Of dry and
decrepid, as it is in most Cases under
existing habits.
