SCISSORS.
a OF OHIO,
AUDITOR OF STATES OFFICE,
COLUMBUS, April 18th, 1878.
COUNTY AUDITORS:


To COUNTY AUDITORS:
The seventh section of the Act of
April 4, 1859, as amended March ID,
1865, (Swan 6 Sayler, page 49, was a.
mended Oh the 9th inst, so as to read
rs follows:
SECTION z. "Assessors shall be paid,
out of the County Treasury, two dol
lars per day for the time during which
they shall be necessarily engaged in
the performance of their duties Each
Assessor shall make out an account in
detail, giving the date of each day in
which he shall have been thus engaged,
and shall verify the same by oath,
which the County Auditor is hereby
authorized to administer; and if the
Auditor shall be satisfied that such ac-
count is correct, he shall draw his war
rant on the County Treasurer for the
amount thereof, but in no case shall
such order be drawn until the Assessor
shall have filed with the Auditor Lis
list of assessments, accurately made
out, and upon the statements returned
to him, and the books ON which the or
iginal assessments were made"
AS the election for Assessors had
been held prior to the passage of the
above amended section, l asked the At
torney General whether the pay of As
SCISSORS was to be under this law, or the
law in force at the time of the election,
and received his opinion, from which 1
quote the following: ''The pay of As
SCISSORS must be determined by the Act
of April 6, 1873, without regard to the
time they may qualify" You will
therefore, in settling with the Assess
ors this year, be governed accordingly.
Respectfully,
JAS. WILLIAMS,
ap25-1t Auditor of State.

For the Ladies to Read.
parasols are the style.

Bell-top parasols are the style.
Square trains are coming in vogue.
Flowers are not used on English
round hats.
The wooden materials are very snowy
this spring.
Pure white is more fashionable than
cream or ivory.
Pearl fringes are much used ON white
cveningbonnets.
Coat sleeves are still the standard
shapes for all ordinary suits.
No flowers and very few ruches are
now seen inside a bonnet.
Long lace mitts are more worn for
evening toilets than kid gloves.
The Pompadour chemise is the fancy
of the moment in lingerie.
Be~ige-colored gauze is the popular
material for yelling round hats
Short ostrich tips in punches are pre-
ferred to long, sweeping plumes.
The Scotch homespun style of goods
is in great demand for spring wear.
Narrow reyers collarettes with points
at the back, are new and pretty.
Aswoman is-aevef so-iiappy as when
talking to a ladytfriend about 'sdress."
Elegance in dress adds much to the
plainest face or the most dowdy figure.
Milliners are displaying unusually
handsome goods this spring, and are
doing a brisk trade.
The college hat is a leading new
shape, like the helmet, without the
Uriah Heep meekness of the latter.
All children's garments, whether for
boys OF, girls, have skirts longer than
lsst season by several inches.
The fashionable evening shades are
pale rose, pale blue, opaline or rose
gray, pale dove and ashes of roses.
A large shipment of American fash
ion patterns has been made to Paris.
The consignment weighs over five tons.
Silk suits, combined with velvet and
all wool fabrics, figure largely and pop
ularly in the world of elegant dressing.
The French toilets for promenade,
carriage and full dress occasions, dis
played in some of u stores, IT very
handsome.
Women are studying the theory of
dress so much nowadays that they have
no time or inclination to study any
thing else.
Next to being we'll dressed herself
there is nothing so delightful to a wo-
man as to gaze at another woman ar
rayed in purple and fine linen.
The number of chip bonnets display
ed by our millinery houses are very
great, and the straw bonnets and hats
are handsomely exhibited.
A fondness for those "fine feathers
which make fine birds'' reflects nc dis
credit upon the ladies if they do not in
dulge in it beyond their means.
Lace waistcoats-Honiton, Duchesse,
Russian point, antique cut work and
guipure-will be very fashionable, worn
over silk toilets, this spring.
Kilt skirts are not universally becom-
ing and not near SO popular as some
people thought they would be. The
style is doomed to be of short duration.
The prevailing tints in the finely
corded silks are plum, rich brown, sew
eral shades of blue and green and
bright clear claret. Armure pongees
are handsome and popular.
We do not lay ourselves liable to a
suit for libel when we positively assert
that more women go to church, at this
time Of the year, to see and be seen,
than to hear the words of God.

To Whom Il Nav Concern

A report of the Preble County Agri-
cultural Board, commencing March list,
1877, and ending April 18th, 1878, we
have published and itemized the Pre-
MUM list in full, oon after our Fair
last fall, and in this report we have
itemized each Members time, and the
pay he received for his services, which
is two dollars per day-excepting the
Secretary and Treasurer, which are
paid according to the mount of work
done by them, and their assistants like
wise as above. The balance of this re-
port or schedule, is in round numbers.
To itemize the whole report, would cost
considerable, and if this don't satisfy
the m~istrustive ones, we refer them to
the Secretary's books, which are al
ways open for inspection, and will.
show them where every cent is paid
and to. whom, too.
Most respectfully submitted for your
consideration.

Physicians, or how much medicine you

who are predisposed to Throat and
Lung Affections, Consumption, Hemor-
rhages, Asthma, Severe Colds settled
OH the Breast, Pneumonia, Whooping
Cough, &c., who have 10 personal
knowledge of Boschee's German Syrup.
Tt such We would say that so, 200 dozen
were sold last year without n COM
