What the County Commissioners
Should Do.

Old Mr.. All, who had his feet
frozen and amoutated a year and
half ago, is evidently deranged. He
is wearing an old pair of stove pipes
as foundations OF which to walk,
and his legs are CALLED by them; the
stump ends are sore, aud he is gen
orally in an unfit condition to be
about. But whenever he gets an
opportunity, he rambes off into the
hills, aud is sometimes for days with
out food or shelter. The people of
Dayton have purchased him pair
of artificial feet, which would enable
hIm to get about comfortably, but
he refuses to use them. He mag
ines that people do not want him
about, and if not deranged, is GER
tainly in such a condition that he
should be at once placed in hos
pital where he may be properly
cared for. We trust that the County
Commissioners will give early at
tention to the case.
