A fee bill for county officers is pending
in the Senate of Ohio. All fees received are
to be paid into the county treasury. The
Treasurer, Auditor, Clerk of Courts, and
Sheriff are to have $1,000 year in all
counties except Hamilton and Cuyahoga
having less than $4,000 inhabitants, and
the Recorder 500, and $50 dollars each
for every 1000 inhabitants over $4,000
This bill would cut down the fees of the
county officers in Perry county on an
average about 20 per cent. Why moi
retrench still further by letting the
county printing to the lowest bidder and
thus save 100 per cent.

AppIeton,s Journal for 1874.

Appleton's Journal will henceforth be
enlarged to the extent of four more pages
of reading. The Journal has always
contained larger quantity Of reading
matter than any other periodical of its
class, and this addition renders it the
cheapest literary periodical in the coun-
try. Appleton's Journal gives, in a
weekly form, all the features of month
ly magazine. Its weekly issue brings il
more frequent visitor to the family
than Is the case with a monthly periodi-
ical, while, in the course of the year, a
much greater aggregate and larger va
riety of papers are furnished than are
given in any of the regular Inonthlies.
But, for those who prefer it, the Journal
is put up in Monthly Parts, and in this
form its scope and variety, as compared
with other magazines, become conspicu-
ously apparent.
AppIeton's Journal will continue to
present healthful, sound, instructive, and
entertaining literature. Ii will confne
itself as a rule to one serial nouel at a time;
it will contain the best short stories at
tainable; it will give picturesque des-
criptions of places, and stirring narra-
tives of travel and adventure; it will
have entertaining papers upon various
subjects that pertain to the pursuits and
recreations of the people; it will give
portraits and sketches Of persons distin-
guished in various walks of life; will
present lively, social sketches, having in
special view those things the knowledge
of which will contribute to the welfare
and happiness of the household; it will
describe phases of life in all quarters of
the globe; it will discuss the important
events of the time, and the advances
made in art, literature, and science; it
will endeavor to reflect the ideas, move
ments, and development of society; and,
while hoping to enlighten, will strenu-
usly aim to entertain, with large abund-
ance of material, all who resort to its
pages for intellectual pleasure. Illus
tration will be used sufficiently to give
variety and animation to its pages; but
the aim will be to make it rather Jour
nal of popular high-class literature than
merely a vehicle for pictures. In carry
ing out this programme, the editors will
have the aid of the ablest writers pro-
durable.
