my first look is for the news from other parts of
the county, end If there is none u its columns
am not satisfied. But then think, whose
fault is it The Editor can't take trin avery
week through the County to pick up what is 60
ing ga iu each township, therefore, if some one.
don pwritc end tell hin there's no chance for
him to get It, Mt JOY is not much of n place
Tor news, but now anil then something occurs
ouS OF the usual way, and Eve thought that
perhaps letter from here semi occasionally
would start some in the other towasa;ns to do
ing the same, and in the end we III rht make
the T'"es truly the Coupty paper, in which
can beiound all that traspi: IS in every township,
besides the opinions of the people of each town
ship could be expressed through your columns
W any public question, and then we could act
together undcrstandingiy, so here goes
Our farmers are busy at mork-some at one
thing nc some at another. Most of them have
TO build pasture fences, and it comes hard on
many. a majority of the people on the Ridge
arc opposed TO the Stock law, but we could not
help ourselves after the Legislature passed it,
think we ought to have been allowed to vote
on it. | hope the law will prove good thing
if it don't it must be repealed
saw an article in last weeks TIMES statino
that Revenue officer had been shot near pinck-
rcy Ferry, in Union County. There was a lit
tie scr!mmaSc between n Moonshincr and Rev
cnuc o!icer, in which the latter had n finger
shot off; out it occurred in Chester County, not
Union. None OF the citizens of the neighbour
heod were engaged in The difficulty, SO [ under.
Sind. don know the particulars.
th ak our Legislators did n glorious thing
when they passed the act requiring those who
h,.l p.id their taxes in State Bank bills, to pay
in current money. 1t must have hurt some peo-
pies feelings. don't know whether there are
any such in pinckney township, but can't help
saying that those who paid taxes in those bills
did injustice TO their fellow. citizens of The
County.
Mr.. Editor, please inform me who pays The
costs for issuing executions against those delin-
1"ent I J tax layers who hare r"c' p;s iron ,ac
Trro''"r yor "''r a esq Surely it cannot be
charged to the County or State! IfIwas asked
who ought to pay, l should say, the party who
w:s the cause of the Observation-Disclosures it be The
Treasurer or the Auditor. don't wish to M, Ike
! unnecessary complaint against any one, but
learn that qnite number of tax executions
| have been issued against persons who have re-
| ccipis i'll their pocIics. Tlssc errors may not
| do any real wrong to individuals, but it is very
| annoying to any one who has paid his taxes TO
| have constable poke an execution at Linn, vir-
| 'uaNy telling him that his property will be sold
| for debt to the Safe and County. All men
| arc liable TO make Mistakes but our officials
should be more c.rcir' than any one else to guard
| against mistahcc particularly in matters where
| public funds are involved. No man can or will
| suspect oar County Treasurer of being capable
| OF doing dishonest act. If all men were as
| honest rs he is this would be n safe and happy
wolld to live in. me ely speak Of the matter
10 snow that the people DO complain of those
| 'rrors but have never heard charge of dis
honesty whispered against either the Treasurer
! or ,ulitor. Perhaps those officials can explain
the matter satisfactorily. If SO, they ought 10
| do it. II.
