should hove collected the full amount Of
tax for 1874 and made the taxpayers 20
for the treasurer for the amount of rebate
due each. The dispute as 10 the settle
ment Of the sherifPs accounts waxed warm
and the county court, in accordance with
the law, deposed the sheriff. The sheriff
has offered to pay into the county treasury
the amount in dispute if the court will
turn over to him the receipts he took from
each taxpayer Of the amount Of the re-
bate, but this is refused. So the matter
stands. 49,
But the tax books for 1875 are now
ready, and, there being no sheriff, there is
no collector to receive them and make the
collection. The board has offered to ap-
point several different persons to the
sheriff Office, which is alleged to be legal
ly vacant, but no responsible person will
accept the Office with all its complications.
There seems to be no way to settle the
matter, especially as there are two large
classes of persons who are interested in not
allowing it to be settled. One of these
classes is the tax payers, who hope, il
there IL no officer to collect the taxes, they
will escape payment. and the other class il
made up of the bankers and small specu.
lators, who are buying county and schoo
district warrants at a discount, and WHIT
speculate on the complication. There is
as will be perceived, very small chanc,
of any state, county or local tax being col
lected in Madison county for 1875

The good people of Madison county are
enjoying, in these dull times, subject OF
popular excitement which includes all the
political and financial interests of the
county.
Madison county is not under township
organization, although the people have
voted to adopt that form at the next April
election. The sheriff, james Il. Cooper,
is, therefore, e1-obicio county collector,
and Ii one of the parties to the contest
Under the law to refund the 1886 tax,
illegally collected in 1878, the amount OF
such tax which was by the county paid ln-
70 the state treasury, was paid back to
the county treasurer, who is, in counties
under township organization, ec 06icio col,
lector. The amount of this tax collected
from Madison county was therefore paid
into the hands of the county treasurer,
who was not the collector. 1t was also pro-
vided that the amount which each tax
payer had paid of this illegal tax should
be refunded to him. Now the sheriff, an
eD-0bfc0 collector of Madison county, for
the purpose of accommodating the public,
took from the treasurer list of the per-
sons who had paid the illegal tax, and as
each came up to pay taxes for 1874, gave
him credit for the amount over paid for
1873. This process went on very comfor-
tably for some time, until one day, when
the sheriff having given the taxpayers
credit for about $1,000 OF the money in
the treasnrer's hands, the latter skipped
out according to the unwritten traditions
OF the Republican party. Then the sheriff,
when he came to settle his accounts with
the county board, wanted credit for the
amount which he had allowed the tax
payers, but which was in the hands Of the
absconding treasurer. The board would
not allow this claim, but insisted that he

How N. p, willis Got Out Of a Church.

At the opening of the Brooklyn council
DR.. Edward Beecher spoke. On the point
of the power of the church covenant, he
asked whether there was any way out OF
church except by letter, by death. or By
excommunicatiou He instanced the case
of the late N. P. Willis with the Park
Street Church, Boston, who, during re-
vival at Andover, while laboring under
great excitement, believed that he had be-
come Christian, and joined the church
After few months he came to the speaker
and told him that he had made mistake,
and asked if he could not be let out of the
church. The speaker told him that he
would DO what he could, He laid the
case before the church, but found that they
were held strictly by the usage-letter,
death, or communications the
speaker told him that if he wanted to
leave the church he would have to dc
something so bad that ne would have to be
put out. So the poet went to the theatre,
and that was then considered bad enough
to excommunicate him, and Mr.. Willis gol

One of the latest tricks of tramps who
90 from house to house, is to solicit an old
coat or pair of pants, which, if they re
ceive, they go away, but soon return with
FIVE or ten dollar greenback, which they
allege they have found in the pocket.
Such honesty deserves recognition. and
the victim makes the tramp present of
two or three dollars, The returned bill
of course turns out to be worthless. The
tramp, by his dishonest trick, has made au

sharp trick, to be sure, but no intelligent
person who reads the papers will be de-
ceived by it.

In the long catalogue of useful inventions
which genius has given to the world, there are
perhaps none of more practical value than the
patent corrugated expanding water conductor
of Messrs. Austin, Opdyke s. Co., of Phladel-
phia. The conductor was invented by VIM.
Austin several years ago, and has rapidly come
into general use. In all this time it has never
failed to stand any amount of cold weather.
proving impregnable to the frosts and tbaws of
the most changable winters. Architects,
builders and practical timers almost universal
ly recommend it, and the number of medals
and prizes which have been awarded it, testify
in the highest terms of its merits. Among the
prizes awarded to it we may mention the high
est premiums at New York in 1873 at Cincln-
natl in 1874, and Buffalo in both 1873 ard 1874,
and at the Franklin Institute in 1875. The
pipe is so constructed in waves, as we might
call what is more scientifically termed corruga-
ton, that it virtually enlarges with the ex'
banding ice, thus leaving no chance for suffi-
Gent strain to cause it to burst. At various
! tests this conductor has been placed alongside
ordinary pipe, both being filled with water and
soldered at both ends, and the water inside al
