in 1874, and 9 IL, in 1875 to 8 l-2
in 1876, and 3 in 1877. Reductions
equally as great have been made in
the matter Of county taxation, and
within a short time, when the in
debtedness of the State and coun-
ties shall have been discharged
indebtedness which existed prior
to the lst of January, IS76-thc
taxes to be paid by the people will
DO reduced to a rate which will
compare most favorably with that
of any other State in the Union.
The warrants of the State are at
par, and have been since the first
day of January, 1877; on the lst Of
January, 1878, the bonded debt
was S60S,5OO.
Reduction in all other indebted

The Fighting McCooks.

Cleveland Herald.
\ singular fatality attended the
MeCook family iu the war. In
1861 one of the brothers was killed
at Bull Run while in command of
his company. just one year later
on the identical day Of month, an
other brother, Robert was killed
By guerrilIas while riding in an
ambulance in Alabama. Another
year passed, and when the fatal
Jnly day came there was great
anxiety among the friends of tho
surviving members of the family.
Two ofthe brothers were with the
army of the Cumberland, and to
reassure their mother they tele-
graphed that they were safe in the
camp and that there would be no
fighting that day. A few hours
later one of them rushed into
the tent Of General Garfield with
u dispatch in his hand. picture
Of despair. "My God" he cried
we are doomed. My father YVES
shot to-day while pursuing John
Morgan The old man had shoul-
dered a gun and joined in hunt OF
the rebel raider, and was mortally
wounded at Burlington Island.
Next year the dreaded day passed
without another death in the fami-
ly, but a few weeks later Gen.
Dan McCook was killed while
leading the charge at Kenesaw
mountains. Five minutes before
he fell, while waiting the orders tc
advance, he repeated to his stat
the lines ofMacauley's IIoratius:
Then spoke out bold Horatins,
Tho captain Of the gate:
"ro every man upon the earth
Death cometh soon or late;
And how can man die better
Than facing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers
And the temple of his gods"
