THE Huntington Advertiser knows, or it
ought to know, that the State reyenue as
Sessed in Wayre county in the "Repubh-
can year Of 1862 was much less than il
has been for the past ten years. Let Us
compare and give the official figures" for
the year 1869, the State revenue assessed
was $2,2SS.97 in 1888, under the eguali=iRg
influences Of the Board Of Public Works il
will be $3,S5S9l, an increase of State rev.
enue of nearly 90 per cen over that OF
1869, and yet the Advertiser had the sudsci-
ty 10 say that the average value OF lands in
Wayne county was A per cent higher in
1869 than in 1SS3I"-F Wayne 4drocate.
If the Wayne Advocate had only
taken the time and turned to the Audi
tors report for the Republican" year
1869, it could have seen that the aver
age value Of land per acre in Wayne
county that year was S5.47, which is just
as the Advertiser had stated it. In 1888
the average by the Commissioner is
is s4.54; 10 per cent. was added by the
Board, making the average S4.99, which
will be readily observed with all the
increase Is not so high as the "Rapubli-
can" year of 1868.

\ >pecla! despatch from Washington to the

afidaVis in sailors claims must be cOrrohorated.
The Court, however, did not throw the case
ont, but gave the sailor who was from New
England another chance. Probably a majority
OF the sailors cases are supported only by their
own aifidaVlts. There are great many Sand

curious claims, some of which are suspicious

the points was as to the gold premium. When
Mctcaf put the stores on his ship gold was POI ;
he makes his claim at POI. Creswcll, for the

with gold at par, and only par could be allowed.
This l. one Of the important points involved in
this ease, and the decision of it will be of great
importance to all claimants.

passed which extends the time for filing claims

The Boston Journal of Saturday says: DR..
Sargent delivered the fifth in his course of lect-
ures on Physical Training, at the Union Hall,
last evening, to "a large audience. He dwelt
upon the various absurdities of training, such
as reducing the weight, avoiding water, rub
bling with ointments and quack lotions, etc.
Alcohol and tobacco were thought to be decid-
edly injurious to men in training, the former
on account of its stimulating effect upon the
heart, the latter on account of its sedative in
fluence on the whole system. The very virtue
said to be possessed by tobacco, that of pre-
venting vase of tissue, is the very reason it
should not be used by young men, for upon
their destruction of tissue depends the first
principle of development.
