THE North Wisconsin railroad
company have settled the back tax
clam on their lands in Barron Co,
by the payment Of 20 per cent On
the value Of the certificates. Speak
ing Of the affair the Gbjeld says:
" Everybody happy. This county
out of litigation. The treasury full
Of money. This happy consumma-
ton was brought about at the last
meeting Of tie Board. The Cor
nell, Jewett aud Railroad agents
settled, paid in their cash and de
parted. Had this been done q year
u two ago it would have saved the
county $4,000 in depreciation Of

county will rejoice that the new
board has terminated the expensive
litigation which threatened the
county with bankruptcy. What
will the spectators in county or

to negro emigrants, and Bob Inger-
soil has promised the proceeds OF
his lectures on the "Colored Mems
Exodus" to assist them in locating
upon them. This item has a con
siderable local significance in view
of the fact that all of the Essex
Statesman's property in Bagerdoin is
located in this immediate vicinity
being mostly about Pok aud Burn

come popular, Hudson vii. have

likely that John Glover, and some
Of the other heavy Iaud controllers

tunity 10 serve their ''colored breth-

to divide the tracts mp into small
farms, and then take the necessary
steps to establish the negro families

come. About 500 darkies scat

Excessive POliteness,

As an illustration of the excessive
politeness of the people of Saxony,
the Boston Transcript tells the following
incident:
The Saxons are very polite people,
so over-polite that they not unfrequently
bring down ridicule upon themselves.
1t used to be told in Dresden that q
stranger in the city was one day crossing
the great bridge that spans the Elbe
and accosted native with request &c
be directed to a certain church which he
wished to find.
=" Really, my dear sir" said the Dres
dener, bowling low, az grieve greatly tt
say it, but cannot tell you"
The stranger passed on, little sur
prised at this voluble answer to simpl,
question. He had proceeded but a few
rods when he heard buried footsteps
behind him, and turning, saw the sam,
man running to catch up with him. Il
a moment his pursuer was by his side
his breath nearly gone, but enough lef
| to say:
"My dear sir, you asked me how yol
could find the church, and it panied m
to have to say that l did not know. Jus
now 1 met my brother and asked him
but l grieve to say that he did not kno1
either"

Kind Inquiries.

Cousin Kate was a sweet, wide-awake
beauty of about seventeen, and she took
it into her head to go down on Long IS
land to see come relations of hers who
had the misfortune to live there. Among
young swain, who had seen Kate on a
previous occasion, and, seeing, fell
deeply in love with her. He called at
the house OH the evening of her arrival,
and she met him on the piazza, where
she was enjoying the evening air in
company with two or three of her
friends. The poor fellow was so bashful
that he could not find his tongue for
some time. At length he stammered
out: How's your mother?' "Quite
well, thank you" Another silence on
the part of Josh, during which Kate
and her friends did the best they could
to relieve the monotony. After waiting
about fifteen minutes for him to COM
mence to make himself agreeable, he
again broke the spell by: How's your
father?" which was answered much in
the same manner as the first one, and
then followed another silence like the
other. How's your father and
mother?' again put in the bashful lover
"Quite we'll, both of them" This was
followed by change of glances and a
suppressed smile. This lasted some tel
minutes more, during which Josh wa
fdgeting in his seat, stroking his Sunday
hat. But at length another question
came: "How's your parentsp' Thi
