A resolution was offered and accepted to

Mr.. Green announced that the county debt
was reduced about $4,000 last year, and
moved that the county raise the sum Of $780,
600 tax for the present year--which is the
same amount as raised last year. The motion
was agreed to.
The question as. to the Sherif7s fee for
boarding prisoners was then brought up, and
Mr.. Green urged that the same price per meal
30 cents--be allowed as during the past
year. He thought that twenty cents would
not go very far towards feeding him, and IL
we should judge from his size we guess he is
right That sum was ordered to be paid.
sundry small bills, not in proper shape at
the meeting Of the old Board. were presented
and ordered paid A bill Of DR. M Abel for
exhuming body Of Ann Young In Franklin
township, and making post mortem .examina-
ti0n OF the same, buAQebcIHluef RDcluer S1Oul
means had deprived her of life, was refused.
This bin has beenibefore the Freeholders on
one or two other occasions. 1t is evident that
some one Is responsible for the bill, and per-
haps it may be DR.. Abers employers. We
have no doubt that he was engaged 70 do the
work, and he should have hisp pay, The bill
has been standing about :. year and half.
surrogste ;al.ss appealed for indexes to
J certain t,sooks Of record in his office, and he
was authorized to have the work done.
A little frame building formerly used as 4
peanut and candy stand which has been locat-
ed in front of the Court House for some time,
and which has got to be an eye-sore, was or
dered to DO moved by the committee on build
ings Sohaeof the Board were disposed to be
little facetious over the matter.
A rather lengthy resolution was read,
which. rs w understood il complained that
