THE COMMISSIONERS OFFICE.-The present
board of County Commissioners have system
atizcd and greatly improved the method of
keeping the accounts of their office. Under the
system they have adopted every transaction of
the board can be seen by glance at the proper
book, and the financial condition of the county
can be accurately ascertained at any time. Be-
sides q complete journal of the transa ctions at
every meeting of the board, road check books
for each district are kept. These show the
amount appropriated for the roads in each dis
trict the stubs showing record of each check
issued, to whom and for what purpose. These
comparison of the amount paid out with the
amount appropriated will show at any time the
condition of the road appropriation for the dis
trict. Certificate Book is also kept, showing
when each county certificate of Indebtedness
was issued, to whom and for what purpose
The Cash Book is balanced every Monday. 1t
gives detailed account of every cent paid out
by the County Commissioners and for what
purpose, A book has also been opened in
which the amounts of taxes placed in the hands
of each Collector is recorded. As the vouchers
for each payment made by the Collectors is
brought in, credit is given. Thus the exact
state of each Collectors account is known at
all times, and those who appear to be negligent
are stirred up to prompter performance of
of their duty. The Commissioners deserve
great credit for the improvements they have
made in the manner of keeping the accounts
of the county. The system is perfectly simple
and Ineligible, and those who choose to inform
themselves in regard to county affairs will find
no difficulties in the way. The Clerk to the
Board, Mr.. George r. Caimes, will take pleasure
in showing his wellkcpt books to any taxpayer
and explain the method in satisfactory man

dealing in cattle, called at the house of Susan
Governs, respectable colored woman, living
near Shawsvlle, for the purpose of buying her
cow. Susan was away from home, at work, but
the cattle buyer found her and offered her S22 so
for her COW, the price asked by Susan being s25.
The bargain was not closed, but two or three days
afterwards he met the colored woman and re-
newed his offer, which was accepted, telling her
he would call the next morning. pay for the COW
and drive her away, When Susan returned home
at night she found the cow gone, the man having
already taken her away after Susan left in the

lRELAND.-Afiairs in Ireland remain I'M
changed The British Parliament has been
summoned to meet in December, and during
the interval it is thought no coercive mca-
sures will be resorted to by the Cabinet. In
the meantime every effort will be made to al
lay excitement in Ireland by a modification
of the present land tenure. The experiment
of protecting the laborers on Mr. Boycotts
farm while engaged in saving a field of tur-
nips by the presence of q thousand armed
men, has been found too expensive, and will
probably not be resorted to again. 1t is to
he hoped that Parliament will suggest mea-
sures to avert further blood she'd and secure
the rights of both land owners and tenants.
General Garfield, it will be remembered,
was elected to the United States Senate from
Ohio. A new Senator can not be elected I'M
Til Garfield resigns, and he can not resign
without first being admitted to the Senate
On the fourth of next March, when Congress
meets, Garfield will be inaugurated President;
and consequently no vacancy will exist UNI
til that time The absence of one Republican
Senator will throw the organization of the
Senate into the hands of the Democrats
The only way the Democrats can be deprived
of this advantage will be by putting off the
special session of the Senate for two or three
weeks after the fourth of March, to give the
Ohio Legislature chance to elect another
man.

pose of creating a row, which he thought
might end in his being admitted to Congress,

graphed to Commissioner Raum that he
could not go out of his house to attend to his
