be secured for another year. The farm
never was better managed than the past
year.
The auditors reported about 500 in out
standing orders, which together with the
estimated current expenses for the coming
year, including the claim unadjustcd and
building the north road would require tax
OF 10 per cent. which the town y6tcu.
The new constable, c G. IIerrick, was
also elected collector of taxes, and agreed
to collect for II per cent. Aresoluton
was adopted allowing taxpayers per cent

the board last year
A clause was in the warning to see if the
town would adopt the town system Of

feel alarmed at this announcement, as it is

ing Judge COllamer, then in the senate from
Vermont, in Dec, 1860 after little con-
versation about the condition of the coun-
try, he said, "Clingman, can tell you
good joke. Two or three weeks before l
left home, one of my neighbors, a respec-
table farmer, came into my office, and said,
Squire Ohey always call us lawyers
squire, in my part of the country,) Squire
do not expect to see you any more before
you go to Washington, and wish to say to
you, that there is just one thing that want
you to do when you get there. | wish you
to set them negroes free, that is all want
done Well said the judge, ''if we set
them free, as they would be rather helpless
creatures, they ought to be taken care of
in some way. 'Oh, yes said the man,
they ought to be helped And" said the
judge, 'as the southern people will be badly
off, l reckon we ought to take care of the
negroes awhile until they get able to shift
for themselves. yes replied the man,
I'VE ought to help in the matter, but, Squire
reckon our share would not amount to
much l have figured it up" said the
judge, "and according to the population,
the share for our town would be just five
hundred and thirty-fye. why, Squire,
ii Would not be that, rould ~ Yes,
have figured it up exactly" Judge Col
lamer said the man sat with very serious
countenance for several minutes, then arose
and left the room.
Several days afterwards the man came
in suddenly, and said, esquire, l did not
expect to see you again, but | came in to-
day to bring a load of wood, and | have
just come in to say that have been think
ing about the matter we talked of, and
THINK you had better let them negroes be
right ichere they are"

owners of coal mines could oust a tenant
who was an employee, from their tenant
house on ten days notice, and this too
without regard to the season of the year.
This was hard law and shows that Mr.
Olnsted has but little sympathy with the
working classes. 1t looks as if hs was in
favor OF rlunopolies, and if so, lie should
look to them for votes. A correspondent
