"a BABE IN CHRIST AT an expert.

a venerable father said he was converted

three.quarters of a century, and expect

In Ohio there are listed 1854 dogs,
valued at $9,443 SAG. A tax of $685. ,758

to indemnifying farmers who suffer loss

sheep by dogs. Some 1927, 1888 were dis
bursed in this way, upon proper proofs
of floss in 1876, leaving a large surplus.

The DELINQUENT LAND SALE,-Pur-
Chasers of delinquent lands, says the
Belmont Chronicle, will be interested in
knowing that law enacted by the Leg.
islature last winter, changes the pIovis-
ions for penalties on lands and lots sold
at delinquent tax sale. Formerly the
purchaser at delinquent tax sale was en-
titled to a penalty of % per cent for the
first year and 50 per cent for the second
year. Under the new law only 15 per
cent can be collected for the first year,
and % per cent for the second year.
AS about this rate can be obtained
by money lenders. and as considerable
trouble and sometimes odium attaches
to tax title buying, it is not likely that
sales under the new law will be very
brisk.

Tho Reno Court Martial.

r.
1t will be remembered that Major
Reno's conduct In the engagement on
the Little Big Horn, Jan. 25 and 28,
1876, is to be investigated, at his own
request, by a court of inquiry.
Nothing has been heard from Whitta-
ker, Of New York. the person who a
year ago or more called the attention of
the military committee of the lower
house Of congress to this subject. 1t
was after hearing that such a commu-
nication had been addressed to the
committee, that Reno also wrote a let
ter to the same committee counting an
inquiry. That committee did not see
at to carry the investigation beyond
Washington, and SO it was dropped.
The present court will act as a grand
jury in the case, and IL they form the
opinion that Reno should appear before
a court martial, such a court will in
due time be organized to formally try
Reno. 1t Is suggested that the only
persons who al testify in this case are
those who were with Reno's command,
and had they believed he was derelict
in duty in not going to the aid Of the
late Gen. Custer, it Is thought charges
covering the case would not have hung
fire for " two and a half years.
From the best light there is now on the
subject, 1t would appear that Reno's
application for an investigation will
bear him out in the position he has
taken.-C Chicago Inter Ocean.

T-J--Carr ESQ.,, yesterday received q
letter FROM J. T. Norris, . special de-
tectiye at Hillsboro, Ohio, where Red
dy," the road agent, is imprisoned.
We are permitted to make the follow
ing extract:
We have five cases Of burglary and
the same number Of cases Of grand
larceny against Reddy. These were
committed In three different counties.
We propose to try him and his confed-
crates in each case. The evidence is
conclusive without a doubt. Part of the
property in some of the CASES Is recov-
cred and identified. Besides this. four
Of his "pals" have squsaled, and one
Of them confessed while on his way to
the ~penitentiary to serve ten years.
We expect to try Reddy on each
separate case; our statute in Ohio pro-
vides that a prisoner may be tried on
all indictments separately, and receive
q separate sentence on each, If con-
victed- The sentences are served out
In the order In which they are pro-
nounced. One sentence is commenced
as soon as the previous one ends.
The laws Of Ohio sentences burglars
from n to ten y=ars, and those con-
victed Of grand larceny from three to
fifteen years. On this basis Reddy will
probably get twenty-five years for Eve
cases of burglary and t%hirty-eight and
one-half years for five cases Of grand lar
ceny, making a sum total Of sixty-three
and one-half years. lie Is now twenty
five years old. He will therefore have
to serve until he Is lightweight and
one-half years old in order to Oil the
requirements of the law. There may
be some others hear from. We propose to
settle Reddy's hash right here in Ohio,
and do it most effectually, too.

tion shall be held on the second
Tuesday in January Of each year.
at the first election each ward

to serve three years, one member to
