too late for insertion last week, and as
the applications have now been made

here with little means and plenty Of
pluck can get on and steadily improve
his circumstances notwithstanding the
grasshoppers. Allen has done it. Let

La US OFlS77.

Herewith we issue in supplement
the more important general laws passed
by our Legislature last winter. The
supplement contains only about one
third of the laws, the other two-thirds
being the special laws and general laws
that are considered of no immediate
Importance. It will be seen that the
salaries Of the County Auditor and
Judge of Probate, and the fees of the
Register of Deeds and Clerk of the
Courts have been reduced. We presume
it is not necessary to call the attention
of our County Commissioners to this
matter. It has been estimated that the
amount saved to the tax payers of the
State by this reduction will amount to
one hundred thousand dollars per year
enough to pay the grasshopper boun-
ties offered by the State.
