As the word district leads to confusion
with the sub-distrlcts.
The board determined 10 make three
Districts, the full number allowed bv
the bill, and, for obvious reasons, to
allow the third district to include the
country east of the Knobs, and also
the Paperville road and its present al
lotment Of hands west of the Knobs
The remainder Of the Township con-
sututes the first and second district,
the dividing line between them to
commence on Walkers mountain OBJ
posite tho Baltzwell house, and run.
ming thence to Hon'man's shop, and
north Of Cornelius Carmack's to the
line of the 3rd District. The one in.
Guiding Goodson to be known as Dist.
No. ], and the one including Walla-
ce's and Montgomery as No. ..
The work of appointing the Over
seers, one for each Of these districts is
not yet complete, as the Board is de-
termined to appoint the very lest and
most efficient men attainable
In July the Board will meet and lay
the levy, aud the Commissioner and
Overseers will lay off the roads into
two mile sections, allot the hands
and let the sections to contract for two
years to the lowest bidder. These
contractors must give bond to keep
their sections in order for two years.
OF course any one who chooses can bid
for more than one section, or as many
as he pleases.
1t is doubtful whether any levy at
all will have to be made for Goodson
Township, as there are some 500 yet
due from the old township levy of
1874.
The Board will meet again in this
town on Saturday, the 10th.
The new commissioner. A r. Buch-
anau, at first determined to decline
the appointment rendered him with
out consultation with him, but, be-
lieving he is the very man for the
place, a number of his friends prevail
ed on him to accept.

Regular Secretion Essential to
Health.

The regular secretion and flow Of the gastric
juices and Of the bile which the OF IIostotters
stomach Bitters promotes, are effects which con-
duoe materially to the restoration Of health,
whom the syste is disordered. Food is not di-
gested in the dysPeptic stomach because the gas
trio fluid is deficient. supersbundant or vit'atedi-
the liver becomes congestod and the bowels con.
sipated because the supply OF bile is inadequate
misdlrectei. The Bitters rectihes all this, and
resolves every i'll consequence Of non assimilation
and bilious irregulsrily. Furthermore, it slimu-
lates the Action Of tho Kidneys by which impurities
are, SO to speak, strained from The blood and any
tendency in the urinary organs to grow sluggish
and discrdored counteraoted. Whether II be used
as means Of regulating gastric or bilious secre-
tion, and relieving the overloaded bowels, or to
promote complete, and therefore healthful, urina-
tion, Hostetter's Buffers may be relied, upon with
confidence to accomplish the end in view.
