DEAD BEATS. = The railroad boys
made quite haul of dead beats this
forenoon, six of whom were discovered
in freight car which came through
from the east, and the side doors of
which were sealed and locked. It is
supposed that they effected an entrance
through one of the end doors, and that
they came through in the car from Og-
den or. Omaha. They were arrested
upon complaint of w. H. WEIGH,
Station Agent, and are now in custody
of the Sheriff awaiting an examination
PAY-CAR.-The pay-car of the Cen
trail Pacific Railroad Company arrived

Paymaster j. NJ. Hanford, Travelling
Auditor Il. f. Gerald, Auditor of the
Central Pacific line of steamboats,

Rich ORES. Some very rich ores
from the Greggsville mines have been
worked at the Hum boldt Reduction
Works this week. One lot of three
tons from the Theirs mine, owned by
Ed Picard, yielded 1852 in silver per
ton; another lot, owned by George
Fink, went 800 per ton, and a few
hundred pounds from the Marseillaise,
went over $500 per ton.

THE Shcboygan express going
east on the f. & p. M. Railway last
evening had narrow escape from a
terrible accident at the Hagadone
rollway, about four miles west of
Evart. Some lumbermen had
placed skids down on the track for
the purpose of getting logs into the
river, and had gone away and for
gotten to remove them. AT that
point there is very high cmbank-
ment, and the track approaches close
to it, and had the train jumped the
track it would have undoubtedly
been thrown down the cmbankment
into the river. Fortunately, how
ever, the skids were of soft wood,
and when the train came rushing
along and struck them they were
cut by the wheels, and the train,
though greatly Jared, was not
thrown from the track. With the
exception of damaging the engine a
little the train passed on all right

On Tuesday, June 18th the Su-
preme Court, in the case of "The
People er rel. Flint & Pcrc Mar
quctte Railway Company VS.. Coun-
ty Treasurer of Saginaw County,"
held that the amendments to Sec
tons 70 and SO ofthe tax law, made
by the act of February 25th, 1875,
applied to taxes that had already
been assessed. In accordance with
that opinion, the County Treasurers
are directed to compute interest on
applications now pending on which
receipts have not been made, and on
applications that may hereafter be
made, as provided in said amend
mcnts of Feb. 25th. Or, in other
words-on taxes of 1874, interest
is to be computed at the rate of ten
per cent. per amum to date ofpay-
ment, if paid before June 1st; and
ifpaid on or after June 1st, then in
tcrest is to be computed at the rate
of ten per cent per anumn, from the
first of February to the first day of
June, and interest frcm the first day
of June to date of payment, at the
rate of twenty per cent. per anumn
is to be added
On rcdcmptions interest is to be
computed quarterly at the rate of
20 per cent. per annum. This de-
cision affects only those applications
now pending in the Trcasurer's
office, and those hereafter to be
made,and does not apply to applica-
tons heretofore acted upon.

ITOIcoSUI III IA OVff'
Lansing, June 7, 1875.

The Evart Review has the follow
ing relative to the financial con-
dition of Osceola county:
The financial condition of this
county is perhaps better than any
in this section of the State. There
is sufficient money due the county
and to be paid in this Fall to more
than pay off the entire debt OF the
county, bonded included, should it
be used for that purpose. This is
a gratifying exhibit and should be
made note of by those contemplate
ing change oflocation. We have
no desire to overdraw the picture,
but we ask the reader to weigh the
facts in his own mind and judge for
himself what has been accomplished.
The county was organized in 1870
with small and scattered popu-
lation and with no available re-
sources. In 1873 the excess OF
liabilities over resources was 50,
900. In 1874 the bonded and other
Indebtedness had increased to $23
OOO,but as the recourses had i'll.
creased to over$29, 900, the county
debt could have been wiped out
with over $4,000 as a surplus. On
the 18th January, 1875, the county
had no floating debt, and the bonded
debt was $4,000, and should thu
money due the county as above
stated be appropriated to pay Thu
indebtedness, the county won Id no
only not owe cent, but would have
a surplus on hand for the future
Here is an exhibit which is val
liable to those who are looking abou
for healthy county to locate in
and build for themselves home
With good soil for agriculture
vast timber resources, rapidly in
crcasing population, and fnancia
condition equal to the best, settler
will have to 60 long ways befor
they will find better county t
take up their residence in tina

FROM the OsceOM Outline:

Last Friday night the residence
of II. Y. Delzcll, county clerk was
entered by burglars, who robbed
Mr.Delzell of about $40 in money.
1t is supposed that the real object
of the robbers was to get hold of the
keys of the county safe; but in this
they failed. No clue is had to the
rascals; but close watch had better
be kept OH all valuables, as this is
the time of the year that tramps are
most frequent.

No wonder "Doesticks" wishes

that the honest settlers up. in the

what he has been.

The remedies for the fiat-headed

July, and knife in September;
though these grubs may be found

APPLE-TREE BARK LOUISE tfy'iapts oonehi-
iormis-. 0mOi.l. sub-order Hemp
This old enemy, though less des-
tructive than formerly, probably
because of parasites and mites
which prey upon it, so that like the
Hessian fly, wheat nudge and many
other insects, it has probably done
it's worst work, yet, to leave it to it
self at the present time would be
to yield the strife prematurely.
NATURAL HISTORY.
The bark colored, oblong scales,
so harmless in appearance, serve,
from August to May, only for pro-
lection to the 60 or 20 wee white
eggs which are found underneath.
About the first of June the young
lice appear,-so small that, though
clad in yellow, they can hardly be
seen without a glass. Coming forth
from under the scale, they roam
about for few days; are sometimes
blown to other trees, thus spreading
their evil work but very soon settle
down to earnest business. This
consists in inserting their tiny beak
and sucking the vitality from the
trees. Very soon a scale COM
mences to form around them, an
emulation, which is secretion
from the general surface. By
August the impervious scale is com
plete. The eggs are soon deposit
ed, and the parent louise dries up,
and shrinks away to nothingness
REMEDIES.
AS the scale is impervious to
most fluids, though oils will pen.
citrate it and destroy the eggs, the
best time to fight insects is just
after the eggs hatch. AT this time
soft soap or strong soap-suds are
sure death to the young lice
Hence the trees should be wash.
ed the first week ofJune winh soap,
not only making the application tc
the trunk, but also to the mair
branches and limbs so far al
possible.
IMPORTANT FACT.
We thus see that an application
of soap to our apple-trees made the
first week of June, is of exceeding
value. 1t not only exterminate'
the sappers Ozark lice, but banishe'
the miners (borers). We thus un
derstand why our fruit trees which
are thus treated seem fairly t.
laugh, as if grateful for such timel,
aid in banishing their enemies.
have no hesitation in affirming tina
the applc-grower will find the above
one of the most paying operations
that he can undertake in his or
chard.
Let all, then, scrape their tree
early in Spring, apply soap-no
lye-the first of June, and again thu
first of July, not forgetting to adjus
cloth bands by the last of June
