more fortunate go in wagons, taking bottle

meet voter along the road, the subject is
made known aud he is invited to take drink
of his horse medicine. Only few days ago.
one of these horse medicine fellows got pref

did not favor his cause, thereby doing him
self more hurt tnan good. Now why is IL
that men will make such fools of themselves
for the sake of such paliry Offices as our town
ship has for them, unless there is some way
of getting what does not belong to them.
We well remember of going TO the old
fashioned town meetings, say 30 years ago
when people voted by running up and down
the road in the mud (not good way by any
means) The town meeting would be organ
lied by choosing the moderator, when the
question would be asked Who are your
Committee, Assessor, Collector. Freeholders.
SC. when the crowd would begin to make
nominations. Sometimes several would have
to be named before one would serve. Not so
nowadays. 1t takes as much whiskey and
time to run about to get ready for tho great
caucus as it used to take to elect President
of the United States. 8tSsxSsNizgSs
But we should have all the. pains taken to
get the best Of men elected is this strong
hold of Democracy, who are always crying
Reform and Retrenchment, and every year
give you the promise Of lower taxes. Let us
see For the last twelve years we have look
ed for lower taxes 10 vain, and our township
tax has steadily increased since 1866, when it
was 405 cents to the hundred dollars and has
gradually grown until it is now 100 cents to
the hundred dollars, in addition to our regu-
lar tate, county, school, road, and poor tax.
We also have District tax for school pur-
poses, and the last year we had an item called
+" Incidental tax ? of si.00 to the thousand.
Can any one tell what that is used for? We
would like to know, the like has not baen

THEFT.-James II. Everels was convicted
of petit larceny gu Thursday last before
Esqs. Lyman and Dean, and sentto tbe:coun y
Jail for three months. The facts III the case
are, that the man Evereis came to VIM. FL.
Hutching's store in Trenton, some two
months ago, as tramp without food and
with but little clothing and through pity, Mr..
H employed him to solicit orders for repair
ing sewing machines, &C.. and when Dir. H..
opened store in this city, Eyerels was en-
ployed in the same capacity. On the 18th,
while Mr.. Fl. was in Trenton, Everels stole
about 300 sewing machine needles, oil,
blanket, &c but got drunk before leaving
town and was arrested. During his trial, he
was very profane and threatened to kill Mr..
H. on sight, and once in court sprang towards
Mr.. H. with an open razor. Taken altogeth-
err. he was one of the worst customers we
have had lately in'onr city.
! CoMMuNIcATInN -The following com
munication - was handed us yesterday by a
genuine tramp, who wished to get ''the public

probably this a more speedy way of accom-
plishing the result than by making "profes-
siona visits . among the people OF this vicin-
ity. We give it fresh from his pen =

called himself great mathematician aud a
great lightning calculator. and he was just as
he represented himself OF course, he had
good days once and he likes 70 meet his
friends. Now he feels glad if any one meets
him friendly aud don't turn him out. The
newspapers talk hard against tramps bni
once in a while they ought 10 say COED WORD
for Them Some have To tramp, and then they
all meet with tiIe same hardships. troubles,
and even insults. Tramps are of all nations,

ed to be sent up for the same time, but the
Justice refused Frazer hid the boots some
where below town in a canal boat. and Mr.
Irwin had to pay the second tramp so Cts in
order to learn the whereabouts Of the stolen

Last evening, thiee tramps. giving their

Main street, in this city. rhe goods were
found in their possession in the lock-up
where they had gone to lodge. They were
brought before Justices Reynolds and Lyman.
who, after hearing. sentenced them TO 30
days in the county Jail. They protested that
their object in taking the property, was to
get sent up.
This morning, three tramps, all of them
young, deliberately picked up pair of boots
each from in front of the store of w. f. Fin

and rs deliberately walked off. They were
pursued and the boots were laughingly deiv.

county jail.
The instances above named show pretty
couclusively that the Jail has no terrors for
tramps. Until a workhouse is attached, 1t
will have none.
