Letter from an "Old Veteran.

To the People,:
The condition of our county hav-
ing been thoroughly investigated,
and full and clear exhibit Of its
financial condition having appeared
in the TINES Of last week, it is ur-
necessary to extend our remarks any
further. We see the condition OF
affairs and understand everything,
SO let us now proceed to business, TO
''settle the issues" as for the forth
coming administration of our town
affairs for the next ensuing year
Pay no attention to communica
tions falsely representing our coun-
ty finances or misplacing figures,
for instance giving us "a portion Of
the tax levy, and then charging
against ii the sum total OF the ex-
penditures; or by charging to the
county as Gan expenditure" the
transfer Of the unpaid toacn tor legy,
which Is merel y transfer from one
book to another, 40 expenditure
having been incurred, the town and
county resources as we all know
being one concern, all in the same
pot. The true condition Of our
county is exhibited in the last annu-
al report, Nov. 23d, 1874, showing:
Tax levies, uncollected, or
resources in total SIS, 209 e5

But One Wife for a Clergyman.

The refusal of Bishop Nottingham
to confirm the election of an assistant
bishop on the ground that the candidate
had second wife, while st. Paul says
that bishop should be the husband of
but one, has been productive of sad
result in New Orleans. The Rev. AL
bert Dyke, the pastor of small church,
was for several years widower. A few
months ago he married a refined and
wealthy young lady. Apparently they
loved each other intensely. He was a
hard student, and perhaps too much
study unbalanced his reason. Upon
reading of Bishop Nottingham sactlon,
he became convinced of it's justice. and
that he had sinned by marrying twice
He brooded over the matter until, de
Gliding that the salvation of his soul was
imperiled, he told his wife they must
separate, and compelled her to go home
to her parents. His church condemned
his course, and suit was brought to
compel him TO SUPP ort his wife. Her
parents threatened to have him sent to
an insane asylum, but this freak of con-
science was his only mental peculiarly.
He Processes to be grief stricken at the
separation, but declares he must follow
the line of duty at any cost

Paste it i'm Your Hat.

The following beautiful truths are
from the pen of David Swing:
The great world wide law of the
Bible and of reason, is that of perfect
self control. Temperance of food and
of drink and of labor and OF
pleasure, are parts of one great law,
the law that reasoz is placed upon 8
throne, and thence is to overlook the
affairs of life, and must set boundaries
which the foot may not pass. If Christ
was sent to earth to be an ideal of man
hood, the Son of Man, his perfect self
control must embodv tie highest Law
and destiny of our race. He came both
eating aud drinking but His food and
drink were the perfect slaves of His
will. The mind was the power upon
the throne.

We call attention to the Wheeler &
Wilson advertisement in our columns.
This well known Company has the most
advantageous facilities for supplying the
public with Sewing Machines, on as ,vor
able terms as the business will allow.
They warrant all their work, and it is a
matter of importance to the purchaser to
deal with Company whose position and
permanence give assurance that their
guaranty viii be fulfilled. They have
agencies and offices throughout the civil
lied world, ior furnishing needles, thread
and other necessary supplies, and have
an established reputation for reliability
and fair dealing.-Com.

MI DEsPERANDUM.-A real heating
man or woman, is rarity; and what
wonder? when we realize that it is the
custom to overload the stomach, and
then produce chronic disease by the use
of spirituous liquors, ''Tonics," "Appe-
Tiers" "Restoratives," etc. Having
first produced disease by indiscretion,
the victim wonders why nothing does
him good" Just so; and the reason is
that they all, or nearly all, find basis
in alcohol or POISON. To all thus dis
couraged, we can conscientiously say,
''make one more trial" Discard spir-
ituous medicines, and give NATURE a
chance, aiding her in the struggle by
using one of her own pure and unadul-
terated herb remedies, IN the shape OF
VINEGAR BTTTERs. The discoyerer, DR..
J. WALKER, of California, is no preten-

A Collision i'm Mid. Air

Land and Water relates a very curl.
Gus incident of collision between two
wild ducks in full fight. Whilstrecent
ly shooting on the dykes in Norfolk,
five ducks were flushed ont and shot;
and while the gentleman who was on the
lookout for them was watching their
flight, in the hope that they would pitch
again, two of them We're observed to
come into violent collision, one falling
to the ground. 1t was so completely
stunned that it was picked up by the
gentleman in question, who found it to
be fine mallard, which, on examina-
ton, was discovered to have lost one
eye, it having been previously destroyed
by accident or disease No doubt the
loss of this organ was the cause of the
very singular occurrence.
