We publish the following communion
ton as literary curiosity. We have no
doubt that the person who wrote it was
designed by nature to be a great man,
but he should not waste his talents in
corresponding for country newspaper.
The versatility he displays in his ortho-
graphy indicates decided leaning to-
ward phonics. Possibly he might pre-
pare a good sonnet addressed to .'Gentle
Spring" or to ''a Mule On reflection
we think ga Mule would be more likely
to appreciate his literary efforts than
gentle spring would. Yes, on the whole
we think he would make a grand success
of the mule and advise him to confine
his attention exclusively to the animal.

PARTIES in the town of Cato have had
grain purloined from their granaries at
various times this spring. A singular
circumstance connected with the thefts
is,that though strict watchjhas lately been
kept no person, as yet, has been detected
i'll the fact. A bag with the owners
name printed on it was recently
found in granary from which wheat
had been stolen, and the owner of the
bag was unable to explain how it came
there. Within the last week Mr.. Meehan

THE heavy rain of Sunday night wash
ed away a portion of the railroad track
near Centreville. Trains on the Lake
Shore road were unable to reach Milwau-
kee on that day. On Tuesday the railroad
bridge over the Pigeon river near She
bOygan had sunk somewhat and swayed
out of line. The I o'clock train passed
over, though it was very unsafe venture,
the river being very much swollen and
the current rapid and there was no GER
tainty that the bridge would sustain the
weight of the passing train. Tie Express
did not attempt the perilous crossing
The passengers walked over the bridge
and went south on the accommodation train.
The volume OF water in the river was
owing principally to the bursting of a
dam some few miles above the bridge.

During the storm Of Sunday night the
barn and granary of Mr.. G. Hintz were
struck by lightning and entirely con-
sumed. The granary contained about
400 bushels of grain which was also lost
The buildings were new and substantial
and were insured in the Meme Mutual
Insurance Co. together with the grain
for nearly $1,000, which will partly cover
the loss.
The storm worked great damage to
crops. Immense sheets of water fell and
plowed its way through the new TILED
fields leaving immense deep and ugly
looking ''gullies", in its track. Where
the lands are low and level, water still
remains and fears are entertained that
the seed will rot, before fine weather
again makes its appearance.

Pending the spring election in the
town of Cato there was considerable ex-
element, as it was understood that
separate ballot box was to be provided
for the purpose of voting on the question
of license. On this question opinions
are generally SO decided rs TO give rise
to contention, and i'll the present instance
argument ran high on both sides. Some
of the advocates of license on one or two
occasions threatened the property of
their opponents in case they succeeded
IN their attempts to prohibit the issuing
OF licenses. Those threats reacted on
the party making them and some who
were in favor Of license, IN consequence
of those threats threw their influence on
the other side. This increased the in
dignation of some of the imprudent
license men and their threats became
louder and more frequent. The success
of the anti-license men at the election,
added fuel to the fire. A few days ago
some of the license men met by chance
IN Clark S Mills and again INDUCED in
threats which they had no serious inten-
ton of putting into execution and were
designed simply to alarm the other party.
That night the barn of Mr.. Ira Clark
was burned; suspicion Immediately point
ed to these men. On their way home
they passed by the barn which was
burned. Search was made for signs
which would fix the guilt on them.
Tracks were discovered in the moist clay
near the barn, and leading TO the fence
adjoining the road. The boots worn by
one of the party, residing in the village
of Cato, were examined and found to
correspond in size with the bootmarks
found near the barn. Before the papers
were made out for the fellows arrest, he
skipped the town and his whereabouts is
at present unknown. Those are sub
stantially the facts as related to us.

The Public Roads.

Can not some plan be devised by the
Legislature to secure the building of bet
ter public roads? In many parts of the
State, the roads which serve rs public
highways are absolutely impossible dur,
ing the part of the season when the pro
Queer wants to bring his crops to market.
So important are the advantages of good
roads in some of the States, that the laws
thereof encourage the use of county and
municipal credit to raise money to build
permanent improvements of this charac-
ter. The present laws in our State are
wholly defective, or not properly enforced.
The public highways are getting from bad
to worse. They are becoming impossible
gullies. We have understood that
Col. Ben. King of the Senate, always
alive to the interests of the people, and
especially those he Immediately repre-
sents, has ,digested plan for improving
our public highways and we have been
hoping he will make move in that di-

THERE is much talk just now to the
effect that the silver dollar was obsolete
and did not exist when the bonds of the
United States were issued, and possibly
this is true practically, but, will some
friend of the gold dollar tell us how many
of the yellow sinners were in circulation
as q part of the circulating medium of
the country at that time Has gold
been anything but an article of COM
merce since that day When the bonds
were issued the Congress had the right to
make both gold and silver legal tender in
amounts, and all purchasers who bought
bonds bought them knowing that such
right existed, and cannot now complain
at its existence. The Government has
the right to pay its bonds in gold or sill
yer as it may prefer; it ought, in justice
to its citizens, to prefer that which will
make the burden of payments least bur
densome to them 54g9 9ae 1i.zs

Senator Bills, Railroad Fence
Measure. "a

Senator Bills has introduced amcas-
ure of no little Importance to persons
living along the line of railroads, and
to the corporations themselves. 1t is a
bill requiring the tracks to be fenced to
prevent the killing and otherwise dam
aging Of stock. We feel sure that the
measure will be found in the end saw
ing to the companies and at the time
greatly beneficial to the property owners
along the roads. Under judicial decisions
the companies are responsible for injuries
committed upon property by their trains,
and with commendable spirit they have
shown q willingness to indemnify the
owners We can speak advisedly of the
New Orleans, jackson and Northern
Road (including the late N. o. J. & G.
N. r. r., and the Mississippi Cen.
trail Companies,) and the Vicksburg
and Meridian. The former, at least,
has expended large sums in compromis
ing and paying claims of this description.
A law of this kind will put a stop to this
constant drain upon their resources, Sc
cure property owners against loss, and
prevent litigation. Similar laws to the
measure introduced by Mr.. Bills are in
force in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsyl
vania and other States, and we are in
formed that their effect has been salutary
and railroad companies and propert,
owners are alike satisfied with the result
The bill, which bears the marks of care
full preparation, will be found in another
column. 2. - \. -La-----.- 80 IL

Should lands For feited for Taxes
EBe Withdraw from Sale ?sa-
THE NUTSHELL ARGUMENT.

go
To the Editors Of the Clarion:
Some opposition has been shown against
extending the time for the REDEEM ption of
lands forfeited to the State under tax sales.
The only argument offered is one of are
taliatory sort: ''We have paid our taxes,
let delinquents suffer-" -aaglIiatif,-7tga5 -.
Yes, and had their delinquency arisen
from a fixed purpose to wrong the treasury,
that might sound, and really be. very well.
But while there are few belonging to that
class nlneteen-twentieths belong to class
Of persons almost wholly unable to pay, and
who were by legal advisers Informed that
thew would not be molested, aud at future
day they could pay, and prevent cloud up
on their property.
But, suppose the harsher measure of hold
ing the lands for sale to what in the Senate
was called s'the sharks" rather than give
the poor owners one more chance for life,
will that help the prompt tax payer? Not
In the least; not one penny. Rather will
react upon him with increasing loss and
damage. How? The State, for illustration,
must raise 81 100000 by taxes on lands an
nually The delinquent list shows a de-
felt of 100000. This last sum, say was
paid last year by your faithful taxpayers,
and will be paid by them next year, and in
ave years they will have paid 100000.
For if no hope or encouragement Is offer
ed to delinquents to save their property,
and they are made to feel that their own
Legislature is their hardest master and
greatest oppressor, no steps will be taken
to recover their losses. sa5s39
Ii, however, the people are allowed till
next December to pay up, they will here
alter feel that the tax land is no mere scare
crow as "legal advisers have led many to
suppose, and they will Pay their just pro-
portion OF the 81, 100000 necessary to be
raised for State purposes. So really it is
not oppression to prompt taxpayers to al
low more time, but every way in their in
terests, and they ought TO advocate it for
their own relief. t'Sharks" only can profit
by an opposite policy. y9ssl aal
The late decision of our courts confirming
regular tax sales, has taken the country BY
surprise, and caught thousands of crushed.
suffering over taxed; almost beggared
widows, orphans and citizens in q helpless
condition. They might, if the opportunity
Is allowed, redeem their lands. and warned
by the decision of our courts, would hardly
ever again allow any legal adviser to lead
them astray. MIssIssIPPIAN.
