"Justice" in his reply to "Junius, in
your issue of 27th states that the sold
ierS were allowed interest on their pay.
The bill passed the House with that
clause in it, but was stricken out in the
Senate. The soldiers were compelled
to render the service, and received their
legal pay, about one year and a halt al
forwards without interest. See chap
ter 60 Of acts 1879.
"Junius" and his friend ''E, say that
the Legislature is to blame, because the
b & O. Il. Il. does not pay its ''ass"sS
ed taxes, the same as citizen has 10
do"
Have "Junius" and "E, read Sec. 81
of chapter 10 of acts of 1879? That
section is plain, and ought not TO be
evaded. If it is not executed, certainly
the Legislators who voted for it, are not
to blame. Among other strict provls-
ions is this-''The authorities of any
county shall not be allowed TO compro-
mise or remit any portion OF said taxes
as certified TO the Sheriff. 1t prcSclibes
the mode of assessment and coliec-
ton. If there are any defects in ii, let
these fault finders point them out, to be
remeded in 1881. "Junins,' who is a
practicing lawyer, and resides in
Charlestowr, cannot plead Ignorance.
He doubtless overlooked the section
named. as l do not believe he would
willfully do any one injustice. sug-
rest that the EIitors Of our County pa
pers will confer favor or theirpatrons
by publishing Sec 81 chapter 10.

Michael Fiedler;s teams were hauling
ice from the dam at this place. The
team in charge Of young Lttlinger, son
of Solomon Ettlinger, was standing on
the ice and was loaded, when the ice
gave way and the team and horses
sank in the water, oyer six feet deep.
Young Ettlinger Jumped from the wa
gon as it went down, but failed to
reach the ice, and so hung on the edge
for while, but was easily rescued from
his unpleasant position. Mr.. Runkie
Was not Oh the wagon but close by,
when it went down. He caught 0ne of
the horses by the bride and tried to
keep his head above water, but failing,
was drawn into the water himself. He
had to paddle good while until he got
out and his situation was q little pre-
carious for time, but he reached shore
and and made for home as fast as he
could. a roadway had to be broken
through tie Ice to the shore, to get the
