THE County officers of this county
will be inaugurated to day. Com
ment on those who have been serving
the last two years is unnecessary, as
we all known they will give gener
al satisfaction. Thomas S. Hart takes
the place of M. B. Moore as Probate
Judge. Judge Moore was, without
exception, the best Judge Boise coun'
ty has ever had. Not single case
has been appealed from his court du'
ring the two years. While we re,
gret to lose Judge Moore, we are
pleased to note that the position will
for the next term be filled by 7 S.
Hart, man whom we trust will make
an excellent Judge.
John Brodbeck, the retiring Treas
uner has been a good and faithful off.
oers and in going out relinquishes the
position to B. W. Tompkins, who is
also a good man and will make an at
tentive and good Treasurer.
The retiring Board Of County Com
nissioners, composed of Messrs. w.
w Black, r. G. Allen and E. j. Hull,
is deserving of something more than
passing notice. Two years ago,
when they took their seats, the cur
rent expense fund was fifteen months
behind Units payments. They a few
months ago purchased good fire.
proof building, and the fund is now
only between eight and nine months
behind in it's payments, and $l4, 46l. Is
paid on the County General fund.
The retiring members are worthy of
praise. The new Board, composed OF
Messrs. Can Healy, Daniel Jones and
Ed. Fulmer, we think, is also a good
one, and will conduct affairs as sue
eessfully as the members just retired.

PrrsBURG, December oath.

4 young Californian named Wood,
returning to Newburg, New York, af-
ter six years absence, was fatally i'll
iured in railroad accident near Ad-
ANS, Indiana, Saturday night The
train left the track in consequence of
a misplaced switch. Wood, in at
tempting to rush from the car, was
crushed in the wreck of platforms,
hom which it took two hours labor to
release him.
Circumstances go to show almost
conclusively that the. young man
named in the above dispatch was
Wess Wood, who left here about two
weeks ago. He expected to spend
the holidays with his parents, and by
reference to our subscription list we
find that they reside at Newburg,
New York. He was to have passed
through the place where the accident
occurred at that particular time. Be.
fore leaving Boise City he purchased,
SO we understand, ticket that had
previously been bought in California,
but not used cast of Winnemncca.
This may account for his, residence be,
ing given as in that State. A dis
patch has been sent to Wess's father,
to ascertain whether the man. killed
was our fellow townsman or not, and
his friends here are. anxiously waiting
for a reply, which we hope TO be able
to give in our next issue.

The investigating committees now
in Florida have had an opportunity OF
seeing how it is for themselves. A
municipal election was held in ITALIA.

there was profound qniet and no in
tirnidatian Of any character whatever,
the Democrats elected their ticket for
the first time since the war There
are twice as many Republicans as
Democrats in Tallahassee, but neither
party cared to vote according to the
census tables. We have come to a
pretty pass when "bulldozing" can ac-
complish such results under the very
eye of a Senate committee.

HALsTEAD's LITTLE SCHEME. Charges
of Hayes movement among the
Southern Democrats have been so fire.
quent and specific during the past
two or three days that it was deemed
wise to call q caucus of the Southern
Democrats at Mr.. Hewitt's house.
The result of that caucus was the dis
covery of the fact that the only defec-
ton in the South was on the part of
Ben Hill, the other members of the
southern delegation having their faces
solidly set against any compromise.
Hill is badly scared. He has heard
from home to the effect that unless he
is able to deny his alleged statements,
as published in the New York Herald,
he may as well give up at once his as
piration to succeed Norwood in the
Senate. In an interview he attempts
to set himself right by asserting that
all he meant to say was that he
thought peaceful Inauguration of
Hayes better than that Grant should
hold over. Lamar, who has been con-
sidered sl,aky, said decidedly the 9TH
err night that the South would not pos
sibly have any utilization with the Re-
publican party; that that party had
always treated the South as a con-
quered province, and that any attempt
at an alliance between them would be
suicidal to both. In this connection it
may be stated that Halstead, who has
been laboring to engineer such a
movement, will arrive here tomorrow
in company with Horance White and
Joseph Medill, of the Chicago Tribune.
Dan Voorhees, aud Bob Ingersoll are
both in Washington.

A BULLET IN HIS HEAD.-The Troy
Press, of the 18th instant, says: The
case of the Abba boy, Hines, is most
remarkable one. 1t will be remem-
bered that on the 18th of September
he was accidentally shot, the ball
lodging in his brain. He suffered
very little inconvenience from the day
he was shot until the 26th of Sep
TENDER, when he had commissions,
which lasted for half an hour. On the
Goth he refused food, and lay in a
semi-conscous state for three days.
On the third day of October an alb
scess, which had been forming, broke,
thus giving him almost immediate re-
lief. Since the breaking of the ab.
scess he has been steadily improving.
The ball is yet in the boys head, but
still his physician has great hopes of
his recovery.

New DISCOVERIES OF QUARTz-Robert
Ferguson and Alex Cyphens have been
prospecting, lately, on the Payette,
south of George Young's, on the old
Warmer placer claims, and have
discovered several leads. Mr.. Fergu-
son called OH us the other evening and
showed several specimens of quartz
containing gold and silver. One lead
he has great hopes of. 1t is nine feet
wide, and although they have gone
down only four feet, it bears the ap-
pearance Of a true vein. They will
continue work on this lead and do con-
siderable work prospecting in this To-
cality, for they are of the opinion that
there are valuable leads in that section
of the country lying above those ex-
tensive rich placer diggings.-Sates-
