Geo. W. Swanson left tor Cincin-
natl on the Andes last week to con-
suit a physician in regard to his
health.
Sheriff Ripley struck our town on
his swing around the circle.
But little interest is being mani
tested in the coming Spring cleo
tions. There is some talk of trotting
out candidate to defeat Mr.. Jenkins
for j. P. We hope the scheme will
not succeed.
Mr.. Albert Mauck is able to be on
the streets again.
Mr.. Fessler is preparing to build a
$4,000 house just below the village.
Mr.. Ellis Swisher has his new
house well under way.
The only excitement in town last
week was runaway horse. Itwasn't
"Doc's" Bucephalus. He is under
strict training for the fall races.
Miss Fannie Hoggs, of w. Va, paid
our town a short visit last week. Now
is the time to put in ferry boat be-
tween here and the Virginia shore.
The boys all say there are plenty of
"deers" over there.
The Cheshire public schools will
close on Friday evening, I'd inst,
with a grand exhibition and concert.
All are cordially invited.
As there are so many new towns
springing up all over our county,
with names most strange to the vui-
gar ear, we feel it our duty to record
the name of "Arlington," a new town
in the upper end of our township.
There are about fourteen houses in
its limits, with about fifty inhabitants.
Rnbe Porterfield has the most dogs.
AS there were only half dozen of
them at home at the time of the cen
sus, we cannot give the exact num-
Der.
A poor mans horse and wagon
were about to be sold for a security
debt; his neighbors made up enough
to satisfy the execution, and the con
stables hammer didn't come down.
How is that for the wickedest town
ship?
On the night of the 23d inst. Hen
ry Bundy, colored boy, was arrested
for breaking open Swanson's Drug
Store. Considerable of the pelf was
found in his possession, and he was
handed over to the tender care of
Sheriff Ripley.

NEW LAW.

These figures show an aggregate
reduction of $794.O8. But there is
extra compensation for certain Off
GERS. The Clerk and Sheriff are al
lowed in addition to the salary pro-
vidcd, twenty-five per cent. of all
costs and fees in excess of such sala-
ry collected and paid into the Treas
ury of their respective counties,
while the Auditor is allowed addi-
tional compensation for duties under
the school law. Thus, in the main,
the expense of administering our
county affairs will not be much if any
lessened.
The salary of the Treasurer COM
pared with the others, and with the
responsibility of callecting and dis
bursting of over 100000, is too low.
Increasing the salary of the Probate
Judge and reducing that of Treas
urer, making difference of 5000 be-
tween the pay of the two officers,
shows that the members of the Leg
islature had no just and proper
conception of the responsibilities and
duties of the two officers.
In the State at large the reduction
will be great saving to the people,
and in that view the law is good
one. Salaries have been too high in
the larger counties, and it is proper
and wise that they should be re-
duced.

In the matter of the investigation
of the passage of the bill for the re

county, in process of inquiry before
a Legislative committee the past
week, the fact has been developed
that money was freely used to secure
its passage. One hundred dollars was
the uniform price of a vote, but
one member was found yirtuous
enough to refuse to vote for the bill
unless paid from $500 to 81 900. 1t
is a dirty, dishonorable proceeding
from beginning to end. In the long
history of Republican rule in Ohio
nothing approaching it in corruption
has ever occurred. 'Rah for the de-

Natick, Mass, will be read with inter
est by many physicians; also those suf-
fering from the same disease as afflicted
the son of the Rev. +. ). Best. No per-
son can doubt this testimony, us there is
no doubt about the curative power of
VEGETiNE.
NATICK, Mass, Jan. list, 1873.
MIR. II. r. STEVENS:
Dear Sir-We have good reason for re-
garding your VEGETINE medicine of
the greatest value. We feel assured that
it has been the means of saving our
sons life. He Is now seventeen years of
age for the last two years he has suffered
from necrosis of his leg, caused by scrOf-
ulOus affection, and was so far reduced
that nearly all who saw him thought his
recovery impossible. A council of able
physicians could give us but the faintest
hope of his ever rallying; two of the
number declaring that he was beyond
the reach of human remedies, that even
amputatiOn could not save him, as he
had not vigOr enough to endure the Ope-
ration. Just then we commenced Civ
ing him VEGETINE and from that time
to the present he has been continuously
improving. lie has lately resumed
studies, thrown away his crutches and
cane, and walks about cheerfully and
strong.
Though there is still some discharge
from the opening where his limb was
lanced, we have the fullest confidence
that in little time he will be perfectly
cured.
He has taken about three dozen bottles
of VEGETINE, but lately uses but lit
tie, as he declares he is too well to be
taking medicine
Respectfully yours,
f. $. BEST,
MRS. l.. C.. F. BEST.
