thousand votes at the next Presiden-
tial election, which will represent a
population Of ten thousand.
The river }orecIoSed last week
Thursday. Since we've wood bridge
very little interest is taken in the good
old fashioned bridge that has served
our people SO faithfully for forty years,
and the red man before, back to the
old deluge DAYS, framed and fashioned
by greater than human architect.
Two years ago we were having one
mail day from the east, sometimes
getting in as sar!y as one o'clock IN the
morning.. Now we have two daily
mails promptly arriving, and can an
swer letters on the same day of receipt.
Certainly, things are looking up in this
northern eourtry.
We are assured that Mr.. Hiles
was in nowise cognizaut of the rascal
ity perpetrated in the County Canvass,
and facts which have subsequently come
to light, warrant US in so believing !;
therefore we withdraw the charge made
against him in our last issue. We
have no desire to charge Mr.. Hiles with
any wrong in which he is not a partic-
ipant, desiring only 10 place the sin Of
commission where it belongs. Circum-
stances, we thought at the time, war
ranted US in arriving at just the con-
clusion we did arrive at, and we very
naturally gave utterance to our opinion.
We are glad to make the correction.

A little irregqlarity of the County
Clerk in forgetting to comply with
requirement of the County Board
passed some three years ago has been
discovered. At meeting Of the Board
in 1872, it was ordered that the clerk
pay into the hands Of the County
Treasurer every thirty days all the
monies arising from the sale of Tax
Certificates. In SO doing the orders
issued from time to time can be paid so
far as the money goes, and the value
of orders be kept up to standard if
not par value This little duty the
Clerk had forgotten to do. The conse-
quence is, orders have deprecated,

bringing in 10 somebody a percentage
in form Of interest from the Golfers Of
some monied institution orders in the
