Russia dragged into an Oriental war,

and France they will not make him de-
sirous to find a peaceful solution.

Chesterfield, N. H., March 20, 1867.
Measrs. Seth w. Fowle s. Son; .
Gentlemen-I feel in duty called upon
voluntarily to give my testimony in favor
of DR.. W1sTAR's BALsAM OF WILD
CHERRY. 1 was taken sick last October
with a lung complaint, accompanied with a
very severe cough; and after having been
treated a number of weeks by the best ply
s%icians, they gave me over as an incurable
case of consumption, and for about six
weeks my friends expected that l might
die any day, having entirely despaired of
my recovery. At this time / read the adj
vertisements and certificates of the WILD
CHERRY BALsAM, and was induced to try
1t myself. l have taken five bottles, and
from the commencement l have been grad
ually recovering. My cough has now en-
tirely ceased. / have regained my flesh
and strength, and am feeling quite well. 1
attribute the cure TO DR.. WIsTAR's BAL
SAM OF WILD CHERRY, as l have taken no
other medicine since 1 commenced taking
that. Very respectfully yours,
Mrs. Mia 3. SMITH.
Messrs. Fowle & Son
Gentlemen-Mrs. Smith gives me the
foregoing certificate of the efficacy Of your
medicine in her case. She is an acquaint-
ance of mine, and took the BALsAM on the
strength of my certificate, which she saw
In the papers. Her story is literally true.
Your truly, w. ]. JONES.

A member Of the cabinet says Hayes
considers the general government entirely
relieved from any further responsibility
concerning affairs in Louisiana.
1t is possible that, should the European
war prove likely to become general, the at
tention of congress may be called to the
propriety of encouraging Ship-building.
Tho secretary of the treasury has decided
that he is not authorized to pay any claims
covered by appropriations that do not fall
within the limitation fixed by the act of
June 20, 1870, or within the exceptions
named.
President Hayes has received many per-
sonal calls of congratulation on the success
of his peace policy thus far, and numerous
letters and kilograms to the same effect
from both republicans and democrats in all
parts Of the country.
Among the incidents of the visit of the
Russian gland dukes to Washington, was a

hood, and That the order was conferred by
the Grand Duke Alexis.
1t is now highly probable that Hon. b.
II. Bristow of Kentucky will be appointed
to the vacancy on the supreme bench.
Chief-Justice Waite is warmly in favor of
the appointment, and he has much influ-
ence with the president. There is no doubt
that Mr.. Bristow would be confirmed If
nominated.

The quartermaster general has decided
the.claim of Georgia for $20e, 900 refund OF
excess of amount paid for the Georgia
Central railroad TO the United States as
confscated property. The decision was in
favor Of the state, and the amount is to be
paid out Of the treasury by act of congress
The account has yet to pass through the

They maintain that the law only applies t.

of engraving and printing, which employ
about 1000 persons under the per diem
system, is exempt from the operations u
this law.

A case is pending in one of the petty st.
Louis courts over an election wager, and
the court is wrestling with the question
whether or not Hayes was legally elected
president. An anxious world awaits the
decision with the same i'll concealed impa-
thence that marked Vermont when a Rut-
land justice of the peace was considering
the constitutionality of the prohibitory liz
uor law. Our Rutland justice pronounced
the law unconstitutional and, therefore, no
law, but somehow or other the officers
have kept on enforcing the law ever since;
but this st. Louis court, if its decision
should be adverse to the presidents title,
ought to commit him for contempt at once
if he should refuse to abdicate-for a Judge
or justice who will seriously consider the
payment of an election bet, or undertake to
decide the legality of a presidential cleo
ton, must be fool enough to believe that
his process for contempt would be a terror
even in the White house.

$24,444 10

From this amount may be deducted the
interest on the water and reservoir bonds
payment of which is to be made out of the
water rents and we have $22, 1862, 10
which the people ought to pay during the
year. Or letting the hook and ladder I. uck
60 until another year, and STAYING off the
payment of the outstanding trustees or
ders, we have fourteen thousand dollars
which must be paid during the year.
How will the village pay thisf The
water rates for the year, after paying the
interest on the bonds and allowing the
same amount as last year for repairs aud
improvements, together with the uncollect-
ed rents of last year, will probably amount
10 about ifty-sevon hundred dollars, which
would reduce the amount to be raised by
taxation to about eight thousand three
hundred dollars, requiring a tax of fifty
cents on the dollar Of the grand list. But
has the village any right or power to go
appropriate the money! Without such an
appropriation, it would require a tax Of
eighty cents on the dollar.
Again. Without considering the pur-
chase of a new hook and ladder truck, and
%appropriating the water rents to the pay
ment of indebtedness, we shall have left of
claims pressing for immediate payment
including outstanding orders-some fifteen
thousand dollars, requiring a tax of over
eighty cents on the dollar or, without so
appropriating the water rents, of nearly
t%wenty-one thousand dollars, requiring a
tax of about one hundred and twenty-five
cents on the dollar.
1t is painfully evident that the tax of
twenty cents on the dollar, recommended
by the trustees, will not answer. 1t is GER
tain that the village has no authority to
borrow money with which to pay its in.
d~ebtedness. What will the voters and tax
payers do about it
