The Democratic papers and Off
cials throughout the United States
are condemning President Grant and
Gen. Sheridan for preserving peace in
New Orleans, and putting down the
White League. The President is in
daily receipt Of letters threatening
him with assassination. The reason
of military interference in Louisiana
will be seen by all, when it is known
that over 1900 Republicans, white and
black, have been murdered in that
State since the war closed. And yet
the Democrats demand that the muir
derers be "let alone"
On Monday Mr.. S. ii. Haslet sent
his team and sled for load of coal.
The teamster was walking behind the
sled. in order to keep himself warm,
as it was very cold morning. A short
distance on this side Of Newmanyille
he jumped into the sled, Tightening
the horses, and they proceeded to run
away, as fast as they were able. One
horse running little faster than the
other, their course was turned to the
side of the road, aud ran iuto a tree,
injuring one of horses SO badly that it
was necessary to shoot it.
The Auditors are now engaged in
making their annual settlement, which
will, doubtless, appear in next weeks
issue. Our people will look with in-
'terest for this document, aud will scan
it closely when it comes out. In these
times Of scarcity the people are apt TO
look closely into such matters, but We
venture beforehand to warrant that
they will find that the county funds
have been handled in manner that
every taxpayer will approve OF, and
to the best interest of the county.
Real good hunting weather did
not come this wiuter Until the time for
: killing deer had expired. This was
rather fortunate for the deer, as there
we're more hunters in the woods this
winter than ever before since Corn
D planter used to have possession oi
these hunting grounds. If there had
. been good weather in the season, there
r would not have been enough deer left
in the woods to furnish square meal
\ for the iumbermen of our county.
N-The turntabIes,o or whirligigs, which
$ take the place of gates in the cour
,, house fence, have again been returned
:. by the Grand Jury as nuisances, ant
: a recommendation made to get swing
4 ing gates in their place. This settle
c the matter, we presume. The room
known as the Arbitration Room in tn,
/. Court House, was set apart as th'
place for holding the borough anC
township elections hereafter, so as no
], to interfere with the schools. A gooc
idea.
v C-Several foxes have been killed il
o this neighborhood during this fall an,
winter. The bounty is now 90 cts.
and we understand there is to be al
effort made to raise it to 81, so that i
may become an object to get rid 0
= them. 1t is said that Reynard is re
sponsible for the scarcity Of pheasant
and rabbits, and it is for the purpos
d of allowing the small game to becom
g abundant, that the destruction of tn
e foxes is desired:
= -URto Christmas, when we say
- him, Daniel Black had killed All
brought in fourteen deer. Judge Pro
/ per had bagged nine. Sheriff Va
g Giesen some live or elk, two of whic
n he killed on Christmas. Will Poloc
Is has killed three, and several other
p have killed one to three. The tim
for Staying these animals expired o
is the lst inst, and we don't expect t
10 receive any more reports of slain deel
a Bears have been more numerou
p in this county this season, than the
Il have been for number of years pas
and no less than twenty have gone 3
