respective treasury, they are re-
fused the money, and by some
means they learn that the paper
can be disposed of at the bank, at a
discount, and that in all probability
the greater the discout the more
pleased will be the Treasurer, who,
like the late Artemus Ward, bilieves
in "you scratch my back and I'll
scratch yourn :"
Should not the county Treasurer
make returns to the State Treasur-
err at the very earliest practical mo-
ment, and save the county as much
interest as possible
BY looking after these matters a
little, am sure no harm will be
done, and, perhaps, something may
be saved.

difficulties and Disadvantages. And
with this fair prospect for the log
crop falling short, the prospects are
favorable for considerable activity
in the demands for lumber during
this season Of navigation The
stocks in the lumber yards at the
great lumber markets, are growing
smaller, now that there's beginning
to be some demand, and unless the
weather changes for the better ere
long, there will be little or no lumber
shipments before the first of May,
and by that time the stocks now on
hand will be nearly or quite ex-
hausted.
