Your committee appointed to ex-
anime the books and accounts of the
various county officials beg leave to
report that we have examined the
books of r. A. Cooke, Sheriff, and
find them correct. We find by his
license books that two parties are
conducting the business of brokers
without licenses, and recommend
that the Sheriff be instructed to col.
lect the same;
Also, the books of the County
Clerk, j. s. Dallas, and find his fees
charged according to law and his
books kept in a neat and legible
manner;
And the books and accounts of
John Lothrop, County Auditor and
Recorder, which we find to be correct.
We wish especially to commend the
neat and able manner in which these
books are kept;
Also, the books and accounts of j.
D. Sims, Treasurer, which agree with
the books of the Auditor in every
particular, and are kept in good bust
ness form.
The Assessors accounts are found
correct and all payments made when
due.
The books of j. G. Young, Super.
intendent of Public Schools were ex-
amined and found correct. We would
recommend that he draw no more
warrants without an itemized account
first being presented;
Also, the books of County Com
missioners and Justice of Peace, A.
TAFT, Tor Silver Precinct, which We
found correct.
In the books of Justice of Peace
for Dayton Precinct we find during
the term Of NJ. G. Hickey an item of
$40 of which the records show no
disposition.
The books of School Districts Nos.
l, 2 and 8 were examined and the
accounts were found to balance with
the books Of the County Superin-
tendent and Auditor, but the books
Of Districts Nos. 2 and 3 were not
balanced. We recommend that the
Trustees balance their books monthly
in order that they may be more easily
examined.
As to the finances of the county,
we find there was on hand April /,
1878, cash in the
State Fund. ...............$ 1882 II

THE HARVESTOF THE SEA.

At the meeting of the American
Fish Culturists' Association. Profess
sor G. B. Good gave statistics show
ing that the fisheries Of this country
yielded in 1875 grand total OF nearly
thirteen hundred million pounds, val
ued at over $65.OO0,000. First in
prominence were the oyster fisheries.
the products of which were valued at
$50, 100000. When it is remembered
that to a large extent the oyster crop
depends on artificial planting and sys-
tematic cultivation, the suggestion
that the government ought to take
proper steps to secure to the owners of
oyster grounds defensible right to
the products thereof seems no more
than just and reasonable. 1t is some
thing new. to be sure, to grant indi-
vidual title to land below low water
mark: but since industry has given to
such land, over large areas, value
equal to that of any dry land. and
since the cultivation of such reclaim
ed sea-bed adds enormously to the
common food supply,it would be but
simple justice to put the sea farmer
on the same footing before the law as
the upland farmer. The legal right
of an oyster planter to the ground he
cultivates and the crop he produces
should be put beyond dispute; and its
wholesale invasion. now SO common
wherever oyster cultivation has been
attempted, should be made lmpossi-
BILE. 1t is no less than national dis
grace that an industry so honorable
and useful should be practically out
| lawed.
Compared with the oyster crop the
other fisheries are of small value.
The cod fisheries yielded in 1875. ac-
cording to Professor Goods figures.
81, S25 $40; the whale, 50, SAL 900; the
markerel, $2,355,372; the menhaden.
81 1927 100. The yield Of the Great
Lakes is valued at ST. 100000. OF
river fisheries (shad, salmon, etc. no
estimate is given. The lobster catch
is valued at ST. 100000. OF the vari-
Gus other shell fish (clams, scallops,
etc. )no mention is made. The number
of vessels employed in our fisheries is
set down as 2,1o0. with tonnage of
$4,000 clearly an underestimate.

ihelion. Perihelion, we find to be
that part of a planets orbit nearest
the sun. The perihelion Of each OF
the planets named in many millions
of miles less than the average dis
lance from the earth. The difference
in the case Of some of them is greater
than the distance Of the earth from
the sun. Now, as the earth's orbit
is between these planets and the sun,
they are also just so much nearer the
earth, and their attraction is by that
nearness proportionately increased.
And that is what is the matter.
The nearness of any one Of these
planets, by its increased influence on
the globe, causes changes of our at
mospheric conditions, and induces
disorders, plaques, and Affections to
man and beast. Somebody has looked
over the accounts of the visitations Of
epidemics, famines, and other whole
sale miseries, and, finds every such
plague has been coincident with the
coming of some of these planets to
perihelion, and that when two of
them happen to be perihelion, the
resulting evils on earth are more
marked and grevious.
In the sixth and again in the six
teenth century, three of these remote
mischief-makers came to perihelion
near the same time, and those periods
were marked on earth by the pre-
valence of most desolating diseases,
epizootic and epidemic, pestilences
and plaques. The mildest disease
becomes a scourge, and the earth was
wasted night and day.
Now, about the year 1880 not only
those three planets, but the fourth
great one, will all be at or near their
perihelia, and the evil influences
being SO increased. the direst for
bodings fill the minds of those who
believe the former plaques were
caused by the coincident approach of
the outer worlds to ours. If that be
indeed true, and if the fourth in
creases the disorders occasioned by
the other three, our fated world may
be doomed to suffer nothing less than
the election of d Democratic Presi-
dent in 1880.
The statements hereinbefore made
are on the authority of the newspa-
pers which quote some medical writer
of more or less knowledge and sense.
Whether one or all of these planets
are nearer the sun than usual, or
whether such nearness ever made any
difference in human well-being on
earth, or even happened at the time
of any visitation Of any great human
calamity, we do not know. We
advise no one to dispair. Wait.
Perhaps the astrologer is mistaken.
Perhaps the newspaper men lie about
it. Perhaps it may not be so bad,
after all. Or perhaps you may not
live to see it. Don't despair.

SHORT READINGS IN LONG DAYS.
BY JESSE CLEMENT.

Now that the spring work has COM
menced, and the days have very much
heightened, some farmers boys are
inclined to think that they have very
little time to read. This however, is
mistake. \ person can work four
teen hours day and have one long
hour every day for reading; and that
amount of time devoted judicously to
newspapers and solid books. will yield
rich mental fruit.
We once read of soap boilers APP
prentice. who when he began to learn
the trade. discovered his own eX-
treme ignorance, by contrasting his
knowledge with that of his master,
who was a we'll informed man. The
day he commenced working at the
trade, he resolved that he would read
one hour every day. that nothing of
IN ordinary character should inter-
fere with this plan. and that his read
lg should be of the most instructive
.haracter. The young man carried
out his wise and noble resolution,
and the result was that when the
term of his apprenticeship had ended,
he knew more than his master.
DR.. Samuel Johnson our great Eng
lish photographer. recommended
young people to always have a book
with them. and said that no incorsid-
cradle part of his knowledge was thus
obtained: and he was one of the most
learned men in England in his day.

ORIGIN OF THE CHINESE.

Rev. S. w. Williams, d. D., in
Sheffield hall last evening. lecturing
on 1.-The Origin of the Chinese Peo-
ple,' said that the oldest authentic
reference to China is the allusion in
the book Of Issiah to the land of
Sinim. The Chinese have in their
early records no reference to the
deluge, or the origin of the people.
Two books contain all historical ref.
erence of authenticity to the earliest
ages Of the nation. At about the year
2l3 B. c., came a grand destruction
of Chinese books by the order of the
then Emperor, also men of letters
generally were put to death. He
wanted his region to be regarded us
the first in Chinese history, and SO
planned and carried out this destruc-
tive business. The literati moreover
had criticised and caricatured his
acts. Thousands of works. probably
many of them historical. were thus
lost in the ruins. History records
that AGO scholars were burned alive in
pits. and degradation and Punishment
were employed in other cases. Incl
dents were related of the secretion
of valuable volumes, and their return
to the light in better days. Some
written on bamboo were found over
three hundred years afterward. Pan
thier reckons the titles of over 300
different works which were quoted by
native authors within ten years after
the revival of letters. The other
source of ancient Chinese literature
was discovered about 4. ID. 2Io in
the province of Shansi in rifing the
grave of king Siam. of Wei, who died
b. c. 293. In it was large collec-
ton of bamboo tablets covered with
writing in the small seal characters.
They were deposited in the Imperial
library for examination and the re-
port was that fifteen works could be
restor ed more or less complete. The
most valuable was compend Of
Chinese history in the form of an
expanded register of events in thir-
teen chapters, beginning with
Hwangti's reign. 3. c., 2,961. down
to b. c.. 2oS. 1t confirmed the Shei
in most respects. and the bamboo
books have never since been regarded
by Chinese scholars as authoritative.
The Chinese dynasty beagn ll22 3.

previous history is legendary. and
that the Chinese are an -iryan race.
which comes from India. was, the
| speaker held. not sustained. The
evidence for the chronology of the
Chinese rests on Shu. or book. and the
Bamboo Books. which. like the PEN
tateuch. may be regarded as among
the most reliable archives which the
world possesses

The Anti-MonopoliSt.

1.-THE more we do, the more we can do;
the more busy we are. the more lels-
ure we have.'' This adage may be
illustrated thus: Give a boy a start
"a fair days work, and tell him he
may go fishing when he gets his task
done, and he will work with all his
might and finish his work by three or
four o'clock in the afternoon.
It is said that 1.-the spare moments
of year are mighty laborers. If kept
to their work." and the writer OF this
little essay knows it to be true from
more than forty years experimenting.
Let every farmers son in Minnesota
try it.
