Aaour TowS.-They say the way OF
the trausgressor is hard, and we expect
n is. but we don't know; because, like a
bsro in one Of james novels, we are per
,ac, and never transgress. But as to the
trials and tribulations Of the said Offend
.rs they are nothing to that OF local
sa;tor hunting for items where there are
rors to hunt. 1t is like the play Of
Hamlet with the part of the melancholy
n,ince left out. OF fox hunt with no
GINNING reynard to pursue; of a fire
alarm with no fire. What, as Lord Dun
dreary saws, what is fellah to doE'
Notbinp is to be done, SO like the niger,
we will "iust luf him be dar." But SER
iousIv for there is no joke about the
matter there is terrible dearth of local
news. and until times brighten up, it is
likely TO remain so. At Eureka they
must be pressed in the same way; for we
see they make lengthy notice OF the
death OF a canary bird. Items must be
pretty "scace" when they are driven to
such matters. For our part, yesterday
we perambulated the town high and low,
bobbed into this saloon and that one,
but without any results save the imbibi-
ton of sundry horns. The fact is, our
citizens are on their good behavior; and
waiting policemen and watchful con-
stables have nothing to do but lounge
idly on their rounds and pray for some
thing TO turn up. So far as regards the
last, this local is most earnestly in with
them.
SOCIAL GATHERING.--O On Thursday
evening las. number of ladies and gen.
tlemen met at the residence of A. j.
Blair, Esq, Cedar street, for the purpose
Of passing social hour with Oscar r.
Ford and Frank II. Klane, previous to
the departure of those gentlemen for the
West. Among the ladies present were
Mrs. J. W. Nesbitt, Mrs. W. s. Travis,
Mrs. G. Arnold, Miss McLane, and Miss
Maggie Leahigh. The gentlemen were
out in force, and numbered jos. W. Mes
bitt, W. S. Travis, George Arnold, A. H.
Emanuel, A. Ely, Albert Arnold, T. r.
Butler, F. G. Farnham and Prof. Piqua.
Everything in the shape of amusement
for the evening was at hand, the genial
host and his amiable wife exerting them.
selves to the utmost on behalf of their
guests. Dancing, singing and speechify-
ing were INDUCED in. Altogether most
pleasant evening was spent, and when
the party broke up at late hour, 1t was
with mutual wishes that all could meet
again and many such pleasant hours be
experienced.
Tax LEvY.-Next Monday the County
Commissioners will have to perform one
of their most important duties, that of
making the tax levy for the current fis-
cal year. In doing this we can not but
hope that they will be guided by sim
cere desire to reduce the burden of taxa.
ton to the lowest possible figure, con-
sistent with keeping faith with the pub
lie creditor, and properly carrying on
the county government. To do this,
much care and discretion will have to
be observed in the allowance of accounts,
many OF which are often very question
able, both in legality and amounts. In
this, too much care can not be exhibited,
and will be well rewarded by the results
Economy in the present condition of this
county, is an essential condition of a
proper management Of its affairs, and we
shall therefore ask the Commissioners
to carefully scrutinize and consider
every account that is presented, and if in
any respect they appear Objectionable to
act accordingly.

our worthiest citizens as he saw fellow,

crusaders, cut up some queer scallops.

sane notion that he could walk on both
