city of Mexico, and you are hereby
notified that on that day there will be

arising from the condemnation OF

hundred and thirty and three twelfths
feet (630 3-12) (and parallel to the
north line of Central Avenue), to
west side of Clark Avenue, thence

SHOT WHILE RUNNING.

Our Sheriff, II. Glascock, always
has one eye on the look out for crimi-
mails and last week as he was on his
way to Vandalia, on b. Bishops
freight train, to serve a writ on some
person in that part of the comfy,
he happened to see the negro, Sam
Balton. who escaped from the Fulton
Jail with Curley Young, a few weeks
since, by knocking down the jailor.
Glascock told Bishop TO stop his train
and he would try to catch him. AS
soon as Glascock got outof the tram,
which was then near Littleby Station,
the negro started to run. Glas-
cock then challenged him to ''halt,"
bnt the negro thought some one was
calling him over at Curryyille, so he
kept OH. Glascoek promptly fired at
him with his pistol, which was very
liqht. The shot took effect in his
left hip and knocked nm over, put
lie was up ia a moment and off like q
deer. GIascock shot 4 o times
at him, bit his pistol was too light to
be effective. If he had, had his don-
blQd barrel shotgun, the murderer
would have bitten the dust at the
first shot.
The negro Is q desperate character.
He has murdered n man and at
tempted marder on different occa-
sions. He had best not give Glas-
cock another chance at him, or Gala
way will have another chance TO cry
Murder"

The St. Louis Republican claims
that ever since the decision of Harsh
man VS.. Bates county, by the Su-
preme Court OF the L. S. The town.
ship bond has been regarded by the
people and the press, and the courts
of this State, everywhere, as null and
void and entirely invalid. If this is
true can that paper explain why it
was that the Grange Legislature of
this State on the 2Sth of April 1877,
and about IL months after the publ
cation of the decision OF Harshman
VS.. Bates county, required all town
snip bonds, pecifically to be given to
the assessor to be taxed as other pro-
perty. See Session acts of Missou-
ri. page 377, Sd section and subdivi-
sion of said section, also page SIS,
and 9TH section of said act, which re-
quires all bonds whether State, county,
town, city, township, or of incorpor-
ated or unincorporated companies
&c to be given in to the assessor
under oath, to be taxed as other pro-
perry. The Legislature of the State,
on the 28th of April 1877, took the
same view of the township bonds as
regards their validity, no doubt, as
the Supreme Court of the U. S. did
in the late Cass county decision.

ONLY ELEVEN DAYS MoRE.-Ail
persons owing back taxes should bear
in mind that the law compels the Col
iector to bring suit against deliaquents
after January first. All costs, includ-
ing clerks fees, attorneys fees,
sherifrs fees and advertising, are
charged against the property, and
after judgment and sale by the sheriff,
there is no redemption. There are
only eleven lore days left for the set.
Element of such taxes, and if you are
sold out don't say that the LEDGE
did not give you due and timely
notice.

DIR. Ross C. Houghton, late of
Buffalo, New York, and nov of St.
Louis, will deliver his highly enter
tanning lecture, "John Chinaman at
Home" at the Opera House, on this
Thursday evening it being the third
lecture in u regular winters course.
DIR. Houghton's long absence abroad
with the advantages accruing to a
member of the American Legatees at
the courts of China and Japan, to-
gether with a ripe scholar ship and
the rare Opportunity of seeing every
thing worth seeing, remembering all
he sees and telling all and little more
than he remembers, has certainly
rendered him II of the most in
structiye and facinating lecturers upon
the American rostrum. He has most
wonderful CONTROL of his audience,
transports them at pleasure from the
humblest colt to the palace of royalty
and lets them down gracefully from
the most s%umptuous repast to a din
ner of feline, canine, %ratine, will
other rare dishes to numerous to men
ton.
In a word, if III people would en-
joy a trip from San Francisco to New
York, taking In rich rare and rae,
panorama as they go, the great Chi
nese Empire. Just q few America
audiences ever saw it, and as no ma
but Houghton can tell it, go an
hear him.

During the first three years of Jop-
Inns existence it was almost impossi-
bic for cows, calves, dogs or cats to
live anywhere i'll the neighborhood OF
the mines. People found it unprofi-
table to keep cows-they would be-
come sick and die, in spite of all that
could be done. Dogs and cats went
the same way, and q rat might as well
have taken a dose Of cold poison as
to have placed foot OF the soil of
Joplin. But now it is far different.
People keep cows with scarcely a
ferr of mineral poison; dogs of all
c~olors, ages and kinds hunt for bones
in the alleys with IMMUNITY f; the yowl-
ing of the Thomas cat is so frequent
ly heard on tie housetops that it has
ceased to be a matter of comment,
and as for rats, their numbers are
countless. This state of affairs puz-
zIes the citizens as the causes that
once produced almost certain death
to the above mentioned animals sure
ly exist vet.

Sir;-I have your letter of 10th
inst, and have managed to read this
much of l., to-wit: ''If you can't
read, you had better resign - and
while L don't feel free to faiIa." ~--
Kind advice, l fully appreciate the
spirit i which it is written.
This town has a population of, say,
200, Gall white). l have lived here
the past 10 years, and have acted as
Postmaster for 10 years Of the time.
/ don't know Norton & Co., and
never met anybody of that name in
this section; but this is no evidence
that you are mistaken, and that Nor
ton & Co. are not doing business
here. If they are here l think l can
find them, and with this object in
view, l have posted your letter in the
most public place (among the estray
notices., and it attracts considerable
attention-nearly everybody reads
and | am troubled somewhat with
such questions as, "Wh0 i'll the HI
is John Smith & Co.? Who is
Norton & Co. Z" but | don't mind ii
much. Public servants get used to
this kind of thing.
If you can furnish Il photograph OF
Norton & Co., or II member of the
firm, it will, perhaps, assist me.
Respectfully, =. NJ,
