We have again been placed under
obligation by Messrs. G. L. Hanna, Of
Boulder City, Colorado, and Geo. A.
Percival, of Central City, Nebraska,
for files of late papers of their respec.

hardware business, and Mr.. Percival,
we believe, is employed in the Central
City Bank, and conducts a department
in the Central City Courier. The boys

lady of that place, i'll with consump-

County to be treated by an Indian
doctor. Said doctor is represented as
living in log cabin rooted with hem
lock bark, and is credited with having

This is the first we have ever heard Of
this wonderful physician. Can any of

worth $4,000 per annum. The APP

-Happening to be ON the up main

Happening to be on the up train
on Thursday morning last, we encoun.
tered a portion of Hilliard IL Hunt
ing's show, and were surprised and
grieved to have the young man who
tumbled So nicely, turned summer.
saults on horseback, rode bareback,
etc., tell us that lie had been drunk in
Tidioute, the day before, and unable
to perform, and the Company had fined
him fifty dollars. Making inquiry we
learned that the first part of his story
was true, but as for the size of the fine
we had to take tha young mans word.

REMARKS.


After the reception of the above let
ter, we interviewed a member of the
Bridge Company OH the subject of ex-
cessive tolls, and his explanation of the
affair was that the stave men were CIV
Ell special rates of toll to carry slaves
only, but they had taken advantage of
the rates to haul Il return load of
freight, thus keeping others from cross
ing after freight, by WHICH the Co.
was the loser not only of the toll of
those kept from crossing, but the
amount which the special was less than
the regular rate.
/ But alas this explanation is some
what neutralized by gentleman who
claims to be posted, and who tells US
that the stave men have ahVayS paid
full fare, when they hauled a return
load of freight, and.in many instances
have been charged fifty cents, the full
fare for round trip, after hartng paid
the special rate in going across with the
slaves. If this is the case, the amount
charged is not only exorbitant but un-
lawful, and the company lays itself
liable to the law for exceeding the rates
allowed by their charter. We thought
there were two sides to this question
when we commenced our remarks, but
if our latest information is correct, the
indignation Of the stave men is not
only natural but justifable. Such
charges not only drive the stave men
to seek other outlets, thus reducing the
traffic of the bridge and station, but
Injuries the town by driving trade in
other directions. We will try to get
at the bottom facts Of this case by the
time our next paper is issued.

4 GOOD INCOME FOR SOME ENERGETIC LADY
OR GENTLEMAN. The Ohio Scale Works, of
Cincinnati. have just completed and are now
introducing to the public, under the title OF the
Universal Family Scale, an article that has
always been needed in every household; and,
in a communication addressed to the publishers
Of this paper, the proprietors ask us to refer
them to some reliable party who will represent
them in introducing 1t to the people OF this
county. 1t is very seldom that new article
steps so suddenly into universal favor. House
keepers are loud IN its praise, for 1T possesses
the merit OF being always ready; there are no
weights TO hunt up and adjust is always rella-
ble-will not ge. out OF order-and is an orna-
ment to the kitchen. The description IS simply
base surmounted by hollow column, in
which works a spiral spring, so scientifically
gagged and adjusted. as to weigh anything up
to twelve pounds with perfect accuracy. On
the top of the column is the platform on which
the articles to be weighed are placed. By the
mere turning OF a screw, the tare OF the dish,
plate, or whatever you may use IN weighing, is
taken out. and the net weight given. House
keepers al once see its value IN weighing sugar
or fruit in making preserves or jelles, or IN
testing the butchers or grocers weight, and
the thousand and one cases that occur where
something that should be weighed accurately
is necessary. The scales are handsomely
painted and bronzed. and are sold at about
one-third the price charged for the inferior
scales OF the same capacity. 1t seems to us
that nearly every family In this country would
want one, and it 10 certainly rare opportunity
for some smart and energetic party to pick up
| quite nice little income during the next few
months. The Company has agents in no more
favorable locations who are making 50 to g
per day, and there are certainly several in tins
vicinity who can do as well. We recommend
such to address the Ohio Scale Works, Elm arC
George streets, Cincinnati o.. and all informa
ton. &C., Will be cbeerfully gwen them b.
