test for gold headed cane between MI.
Albert Weatherald and Mr.. Montgom-
ery. MIR. Weathorald is foreman of the

The Township Trustees for Pultney
township, at their last meeting, held on
last Saturday, examined tie books OF the
Clerk and Treasurer and settled all un-
finished business for the last year. Out
side Of this there was little or no business
before them, except the matter OF ap-
proving the bonds Of the newly elected
township officers. When this Board went
into Office, the township fund was SIG
oyerdrawn. They have paid bills to the
amount of $125, contracted while the old
Board were IN Office, besides paying an
old county claim of 500 to the widow OF
Uriah Kinsly, and otter considering these
sums and tho current expenses OF the past
wear. the books show balance of $4S0 66
of township funds in the hands
of the Treasurer. Heretofore Inc
Trustees have failed to report paupers
needing assistance to the Directors OF the
County Infirmsry, and all money spent
for their assistance has heretofore been
paid by the township alone. The present
Board BY promptly reporting these cases.
as required by law, has received from the
Infrmary, s529. .lS, saving this amount
of taxes to the people of the township.
The books show balsnce OF 81 ,olZ % "l
the road funds Of the Treasurer, ana .,
balance of S327.Sl of the building 1uno
and a balance of $398.53 of the contingent
fund in the hands of the Treasurer. The
