Our readers will notice the card i'll this paper
of Messrs JONI and GEORGE CoLwELL, contract
ors and builders, who have just opened carpen-
ter shop in this city. 1t is almost supcriluous to
call attention of the public to these gentlemen so
well known are both they and their work. How
ever We may say that they took part III and su-
pcrmtended personally the building OF about all
the public buildings in this city-about all the
churches, the Opera House, &c; in Streator they
put np the Streator House, one of the tirstbuild-
ngs erected there, and nearly all the finer blocks
since erected; in Pontiac, the Court House, Judge
Payson's elegant residence, the late addition to
the Reform School is their work-in fact the
couutys fine buildings pretty generally are monu-
ments of their handiwork. They have not lost
any Of their skin in these latter days and the pub
lie who favor them with contracts will find them
builders Of the first class and gentlemen in all
their dealings. Success to the new firm, now re
commencing business in the shop where they be.
can business some twenty years ago.

The entertainment of the Young Ladies' Tenn
pcrance Society on last Thursday evening at the
Opera House was a grand success. The house
was filled completely. The performance was, if
anything, rather beyond the expectations of the
audience. Throughout, the music was above the
average. The pantomime was acted eXcellcntly
and the tableauy beautiful. The other partcu-
lars were in keeping. The reading of "Mona's
Waters by Miss Clark was very fine; that by
Lieut.. Thorington was also praseworthy, barring
the fact that half the house failed to hear it, One
feature of the programme which was looked for
ward to with interest, the duet by Misses Flor
encc Nash and Alice Macarthur, had to be omitted
on account of the sickness of Miss Florence We
congratulate the young ladies on their success
and trust this effort will not be their last.

New County Fair Organization,

The gentlemen who are considering the sub
jcct of recognizing the county agricultural soc
Icty are debating rs to the best method of cstab-
fishing il on a firm and enduring basis. The
principal object should be, and, of course, the
point desired is, TO give the people annually a
hrstclass county fair, fostering and encourage ne
agricultural, horticultural, mechanical and all
valuable interests. 1t should not be looked upon
rs speculation, with money in it for any one,
because experience has shown that the best and
most satisfactory fairs ever held here have been
those which gave generous premiums and paid
them, and all expenses in full. There is no mon
ey in it, the value received being the friendly
emulation which produces results which many
cannot measure; in improved horses, cattle,
sheep, swine grain, garden products, artistic eff
forts of every Sort and in bringing people togeth-
er with a common interest, who discuss every
question important to themselves. Thus they
profit by the experience of each, and which is
equally precious, strengthen and perpetuate the
social ties of neighbory friendship.
Consequently the best system is that which
shall offer no money inducements to those who
give their help to this worthy object, The non
dividend plan seems to embody every excellent
proposition looking to this end. By this plan
certain public spirited gentlemen propose to oh,
tain the title of present fair ground and free
inc it from every debt, dedicate it to the public
forever for county fair purposes. The proceeds
of each fair after paying all expenses and the
premium list, to be expended in improvements
upon the grounds identifying and ornamenting
them, making them attractive and fitting the
buildings to the progressive needs of the people
who visit the fairs, and each year adding to the
premium list as circumstances require.

One of the most important eases IN the Circuit
Court during the past few weeks was the La Sale
tax case argued on Monday last. Some fifteen
or twenty of the tax payers believing that the
taxes were illegally levied, prayed for an injunc-
ton to restrain the collection Of both town and
city taxes. Daniel Evans and +. f. Bull argued
for the injunction and Mayor Duncan against
The argument against the town tax was similar
to that employed by the tax payers in
Ottawa; that the tax of $1,000 was levied
without authority of law, which was substantial
" admitted The city taXcs-ahout S25,0OO-
were objected to as being illegally levied and cX
cessvc. Judge McRobcrts, on Wednesday morn
ing gave his decision at length, granting the in
junction is to the town taxes and refusing it rs
to the city taXes-holding in the latter case that
the city council is Il legislative body competent
to Judge Of the amount of moacy necessary to
run the city and that their action is final. As to
the irregularities of the city clerk in certifying
the amounts to the county clerk he held that tri-
hes of that nature were immatcrial so long rs the
Intent was evident. In regard to high taxes the
Judge said the proper way to remedy the matter
was to elect men to Office who would manage the
city government in such a manner that the taxes
would be reduced.
