The Reg0rter presents another side of Mend ota
opinion on the subject. less ridiculous than the
Bulletins observations, viz: "The editor OF the
Ottawa Times thought to make himself notorious
last Monday by publishing silly and senseless
account OF the entire destruction by fire OF the
new court house with all the records. Ev-
eryone in this neck OF woods thinks Nattin
ger needs conservator appointed over him.
The building committee decided to
cover the whole with a substantial
wood roof. Everyone in the county has been
aware of this fact, and the action Of the commit
tee has been generally sustained. II only needs
some such fellow as Nattinger to rush into print
and attempt to make taxpayers believe he has
made wonderful discovery. and publish his own
ignorance"
The Livingston board Of supervisors sent a
800 job of printing outside of the county to
save thirty cenfs.--EI.
They did better than the La Sale county super
vsors, who sent thousand or more dollars
worth out of this county and haven't saved
cent in spite of a contraction the contract new
er contains anything the county uses! as is found
when the bills come in.
Now here is a case that comes from Streator
rather laying over Mendota's complaints "a
tax case is bothering the parties owning land
along the river south of town. The river runs
through the midst of the land and is the dividing
line between Bruce and Eagle, but the whole
tract has been taxed in both towns. The owners
have paid in the town in which they live, but
some of them now find that their land has been
sold for taxes on the textbooks of the other
town."
The merchants of Mendoza having been taken
in by a swindler, supposed to be on the Times,
draws this from the Dixon Teltg,aph: at has
always appeared strange that business. men are
80 easily gulled in the matter Of advertising. A
stranger can canvass town and procure more
money for advertising in hotel register, or o
fraud business directory to be stuck up in post
office few weeks, than can be secured by a 10.

money" II q man wants to 90 to Joliet he gets

spend fortune travelling over the state to find
out-ofthe-way routes to get there. Many bust
ness men do the same thing with their advertis
ing-spend a fortune advertising goods that
farmers want in papers taken by wholesalers or
drummers, or hotel clerks or railroad men! and
then ruin their souls swearing that advertising
Is a freud. 1t is indeed a matter Of profound
wonder that so many men of good sense other
wise exhibit so much lack of sense about adver-
Using.

axtAsrxY SPECTACLE.

CHASTITY SPECTACLE.
IRON passengers who arrived
Yesterday morning from Perry, we
learn TIE fhe following particulars
81 the horrible discovery of the max.
al dead bodies of John Skiilings and
Willis Swift, in the woods, near
Perry. :
On Friday afternoon a party OF
fox hunters were roaming the wood
near Perry, and their attention was
drawn to some groans heard 10 the
bsshes. They dismounted and pro-
eeeded 10 the spot from which the
groass proceeded and to their horror
found the t~o negroes, one cold 10
death aud TIE other warm and
breathing, bat with bis head all
crushed, the worms already at
work.
The body Of Skillings was found
in a eramped sitting posture, as it
his death had been caused by pois>
ON or some internal injury. There
was not stitch OF clothes on him,
only a ragged coat sleeve hanging
on his arm.
Swift was found stretched at full
length, with an ugly hole in bis head
as il crushed by an axe or some
blount instrument. He was groan-
ing. but unconscious, and as the
worms were 10 the wound he must
have been lying there for several
DAYS. He was also naked. About
thirty yards distant was found 9
straw hat aud calico shirt.
How these two men came to their
death in this peculiar manner is q
mystery. From the condition Of
the bodies it is thought that Swift
died only day or two ago, while
it is evident Skillings received bis
terrible blow on the head several
days previously.
No clue whatever has been found,
nor can an opinion be formed as to
how they came to to their horrible
death.

THE BALKY HORSE. The Breed
ers Gazette says. Many plans for
for curing horses of baking have
been published, but none Of them
seem more sensible, humane and
practicable than that used by N. w.
Hussey, of Oskaloosa, Iowa, who is
one of those thoughtful and enter
prising farmers who first study the
probable causes of an evil, then ex-
pertinent to find a remedy. His
theory is that no intelligent horse
will begin the habit of baking ex-
cept through fear, and that to end
the baking the first thing needed is
to soothe the excited animal. To do
this he closes around the neck of a
bottle containing ether, one of the
Dostrils of the animal, end so closes
the other nostril that the horse must
draw into his lungs the fumes of the
liquid. When the eyer of the horse
begin to droop the eth er is removed,
but if the horse then refuses to start
it is again applied. There is seldom
need of more than one application.
Soothing words ard petting are
meantime used to quiet the nerves
and restore the confidence of the an.
imal. 10 every case of which We
have any knowledge a complete
and permanent cure has resulted
from trials of this course of treat,
ment. OF course, it is not claimed
that the horse cannot be again
taught to balk by brutal or ignorant
usage. |
