HAMMoND's NEW BANK.-At last
Mr. Charles Hammond is ready to
occupy his new room in the south
half of the fine brick block which he
erected, in company with Messrs.
Whan i Adams, last season. The
building We described at the time OF
its completion. 1t is fortytwo feet
front and sixty-fve feet deep, with
two worry high stories. The brick,
which are ~ good rs any ever laid In
the place, and good enough, for that
matter, were made by Mr.. VIM. ket-
tell, Il. his yards mile southwest OF
town. Mr.. James Ripley had in
charge the wood work on Hammond
half and has left it to testify that he
understands his business.
In fitting up his room for business
Mr.. II. has not only spared no ex-
pense, but he has taken his time, and
the consequence is that he has AS com-
plete, convenient and finely furnished
bank as can be found in the state,
and has made an addition to the bust
ness facilities of the town which "does
us proud.n The room is l9X65 in the
clear. The front is full-sized French
plate glass. set off by such use of the
brush on adjacent wood and iron a.
only lngmun can do. Inside the
finish is hard white aud dark oak =
the plaster by Golden and paint by
Ingman-with ash and walnut floor
The roomy fire-proof vault, OF the
safest and most approved kind, rises
against the north wall to within about
three feet OF the ceiling. The glass
sarmountcd counter, alone involving
an expense of over 500, is of the
latest. 1t joins with the vault anc
extends glass-door partition across
the room, thence running angling
forward some sixteen feet 1t turns Il
the north wall, enclosing roomy space
for business. 1t is Il marvel of cabine
work in French and native walnut
and has all the csnveniences in thu
way of plate glass windows for teller
cashier, etc, rs well as the more prac
teal desk and drawer room within.
The only thing remaining to com
plete the establishment Is to get il

CoLFAN TUESDAY EVENING
Schuyler Colfax arrived Tuesday
evening by the eight o'clock train, as
expected, and was at once escorted TO
the hall where All audience of about
three hundred were eagerly awaiting
him. He took the platform without
delay and, being introduced by Hon.
w. l.. Wolf, held close attention to n
lecture which occupied an hour and a
half in rapid delivery. He was not in
the best of voice, and is by no means
an notwithstanding many words
so quickly and indistinctly that it re-
quires an effort not to lose them. But,
notwithstanding this, he has the
presence and fervor which are the
prime requisites TO successful oratory;
and when such subject as the life
and character of Abraham Lincoln is
handled as, from his long personal
and official intimacy Mr.. Colfax is
able 10 handle it, the result is pre-
assured success.
The lecture itself is changed in no
small degree from the one on the same
subject delivered hy him previous
years and the revision is in keening
with the purpose of the speaker to
make everything tend to such a reve-
lation OF the inner character of AIR.
Lincoln as can only he gathered by n
glimpse at his everyday life, II, well
as knowledge of his pure aims and
great achievements. We hope Mr.. G..
may pc called upon often to repeat it,
rs few listeners, especially young men,
can fail to have wakened within them
thereby higher aspirations and more
elevated standards.

This IL q nation Of enlightened free
men. Education Is the cornerstone
and foundation Of our government.
The people are free to think and act
for themselves, and that they may act
wisely 1t is necessary that they be well
informed. Every individual gain
increases public gain. Upon the
health of the people is based the pros
perity of nation, by 1t every value is
increased, every joy enhanced. Health
Is essential to the accomplishment Of
every purpose; while sickness thwarts
the best intentions and loftiest aims.
Unto us are committed important
health trusts, which we hold not mere
~ in our own behalf but for the bene-
fit of others. In order that we may
be able to discharge the obligation OF
our trusteeship and thus prove worthy
Of our generous commission, it 10
necessary that we study the art Of pre-
serving health and prolonging life. II
Is Of paramount importance to every
person not only to understand the
means for the preservation Of health,
but also to know what remedies should
b employed for the alienation Of the
common ailments of life. Not that we
would advise every man under all
circumstances to be his own physician
but we entreat him to acquire sufficient
knowledge Of his system and the laws
that govern it. that he may be pre-
pared to take care of himself properly,
aad thereby prevent sickness and pro-
long life. In no text book will the
people find the subject of physiology

the art of preserving health, more
scientifically discussed or more plainly

cred bright intellectual boy. He was
educated at Easton, Pa, and studied med

IMPORTANT TO ALL.-Many tax
payers have learned to their cost that
il is difficult TO correct ERRONEOUS as
scssmcnts after the tax is paid, or even
after it is due. The county Board of
Supervisors do not have authority to
remedy errors of this character; but
there j. tribunal, nearer home, pre-
pared expressly for this purpose. On
the FIRST Monday in April next Mon
day the Trustees of each township
meet as Board of Equalization and
any man, woman or child who thinks
himself, or herself, assessed too high,
or that some one else Is assessed too
low, can obtain a hearing then and
there-the Board having full power to
make any and all needed changes and
corrections in the Assessors work.
This Is an item Of interest and inn
portance to every one who pays taxes.
Each individual is supposed to know
how the Assessor valued the property
OH which he will have to pay taxes,
and Is Offered this facility for his own
protection.

Judge Hayes yesterday, on an appli-
cation to restrain the Receiver from
issuing any more certificates until the
suit for the foreclosure of $4,000 of
certificates already issued is heard
at the next term of Court, was settled
by compromise between the contest
ing parties. on the basis of which
Judge Hayes made his decision. The
compromise permits the Receiver to
issue 500, 900 more of the certificates
in order to complete the Clinton end
Of the road to the davenport 4 North

City end from LenoX to Upton, which
we understand will be done as soon rs
