Judge Bell. having last week seceiy.i

Of District Judge for the unexpired term
has been presiding over the court which
convened in this city last Tuesday
morning. The Judge started, and has
kept, the mills Of justice" grinding a.
though he was an old hand at the bust
ness, and although the duties of Judge
may be new to him he is undoubtedly
we'll acquainted with all the business
connected with court. As Judge We
believe his actions are governed by claw
and the evidence" and a desire to do
justice, and we think the verdict of the
people will be that he was worthy of the
paid him by electing him to
the fifteen minute term.

Among the reasons suggested at the
meeting last Wednesday evening for
changing the name of our town was that
it would be great advertisement to the
mineral we'll, and of course to the town.
We believe that it pays to advertise, and
in addition to tais project of changing
the name of the city we would again
suggest that there will be grand oppor-
tunity furnished US to advertise at the
great Centennial Exhibition at Phila-
delphia next year. Our mineral water
will undoubtedly be advertised there,
but good display of the agricultural
resources of the county should also be
made. 1t will pay.

HERD LAW

Mr.. EDrToR:-The question has been
asked in THE REGISTER what the people
of Allen county, say about the herd Law
and will say am opposed to it for
the reason that it will discourage stock
raising; and when we do that we are
working against the interest of a great
majority OF the citizens of the county
by losing its natural wealth, which is
the grass. Ip order to prosper as a COM
munity we must have stock to eat our
natural products, and convert it into
beef, butter, cheese, &C., and the more
stock we raise the better home market
We have for our grain. To. day if we
had one-fourth Of the cattle in this
county that the pastures would support
there would be market at home for all
OF the corn at better prices than it is
commanding at this time. But as it is
at present We have great surplus of
corn, and that the next year following
one of the greatest failures ever known
in the State, and to-day corn is worth
only 20 cents per bushel. Now suppose
We vote herd law aud the number of
stock should decrease (Which is the case
i'll other counties where there is a herd
law and We should raise neavy crops of
corn for three or four years where would
be our market for it? Persons living
here in the winters of 1872 and 1873
know that cattle feeders bought corn at
from ID to Is cents per bushel and ut |
the same time corn was worth only 10 /!
cents per 5ushel to ship. l haze no
doubt about the herd law being benefit |
to some persons at this time, but think |
it would eventually be an injury to all. |
Aud now ! will close by requesting some
advocate OF the herd law to explain the
advantages of it in the next number of

A BIG YIELD.

Mr.. A. G. Jones informs N that be
raised twenty-five bushels Of corn, the
West Chester yellow, on one fourth Of an
acre of ground from two quarts of seed.
The seed wassent TO him from the Patent
Office at Washington City. The corn
was planted on the Goth of June, drilled
IN rows three and one-half feet apart,
with one kernel every eight or twelve
inches. The ground on which the corn
was grown had been MANFRED. One
1undred bushels to the acre is no small
yield; rho can beat it?

1t is estimated that the cost ofkeepins
a dog-or rather the food dog eats, for Il
great many Of them steal the most OF
their living-amounts to $685. a year,
while sheep will give profit of S1.25
year over and above cost of care and
food. Yet there are great many more
dogs than sheep in Allen county, and
this is an evil the herd law would fail
to remedy.

PUBLIC MEETING.

A public meeting of the citizens Of
lola and vicinity was held at Odd Eel
lows Hall last Wednesday evening fol
the purpose of considering the propriety
Of changing the name Of our town. The
meeting was organized by electing Dr.
J. A. Hart chairman and ". G. Allison
secretary. The object of the meeting
was explained by the president, and q
motion that proper steps be taken for
having the name Of our city changed
was carried without much discussion.
On motion tho following gentlemen
were appointed az committee for the
purpose of circulating petitions to be
signed by our citizens and forwarded to
the General Assembly OF the State
Geo. A. Bow;us. c. NJ. Brown, E. N.
Yates, G. W. Apple, John Francis.
In reference to what name should be
adopted instead of the one our city al
ready has a general discussion ensued.
and the reasons for certain names were
given, in connection with which reasons
for wanting the change were also stated
by Messrs. Murray, Yates, Brown and
others, after which a motion was carried
that vote be taken by ballot, every one
voting for the ssme they thought the
most appropriate. The votes being
counted it was found that a large num-
Der favored the name Saratoga" and
the committee were instructed to put
that name on their petition to the Legis-
lature.
The chairman was called upon for
speech when he gave brief account of
the selection of the present town site,
the organization and naming of the
town, etc. He Endorsed the proposed
change Of name for our city from the
fact that in the past we had failed to
advertise our place as we should have
done, and that to advertise it now a
change in name was the best way to
as everything connected with
the change would bring US before the
public. He thought the selection of the
name Saratoga" q good one as the in
quiry would at once he made, why this
name7 And the fact that we have here

which are equal, if not superior, ip cura-
live powers to the waters of the celebra-

given much attention to the mineral
waters here and the cases that had been
treated, and he was certain that no other

HONEST OPINION.

MR.. H. z. STEVENS
Dear Sir-This Is to show that my son was taken
sick in January, lS8l, with Scrofula which came
ont in large s0res and ulcers on his leg and hin
His leg was swelled more than twice It's natural
size. He had several doctors of high standing in
their professi0n-two from Boston and three from
Chafaeston-wifhout getting . bit better. He Was
obliged to lie wherever he was plxnced, for he
had no use Of his limbs whatever. When we had
given up all hopes Of his living We were told to
try vEGErINE, the great bloOd remedy; ahd he
had taken 1t bat . short time before We could see
. great change The SORES ran 50 bad that We had
70 change the clothes foar OF Ave times . day.
Still, he was getting better; for be could move
his limbs and help himself little. He was soon
able TO set up in bed, and, by constant use Of
SEGETlNE, it has cured him. He has lame
Les which he will probably have for life; but We
all honestly believe, II We had used vEGE TINE
before We had bothered with those doctors, it
would have sssed the use Of his leg, and restored
1t to natural health ! holE all those troubled
with Screfula will read this testimony Of me and
my son, who is now well and able to speak for
himself. CATHERINE NAHONEY,
