Sheep Farming Profitable.

When the price of wool is low. there is
always need of encouraging sheep raising.
Then. indeed, is just the most favorable
time to engage in sheep raising. although
it is not So regard by the most OF farmers.
Whenever wool falls to a low price, it is
common occurrence to see large num-
bers OF farmers hasten TO get rid of all
their sheep at any price they can obtain
when the price of wool advances. these
in just as much of q hurry as they rushed
OUT, and will pay any price for the sheep
that NAV be current at the time. The
consequence is that these men pay too
much for their sheep and sell them at
too low a price, thus losing so much
that it takes off large part of the
profits of sheep raising. Now betten
way is to engage in sheep raising
when the price OF wool is low and
everybody is willing to sell sheep at a
low price. Sheep raising pays even then.
When the price of wool advances. there
will then be an opportunity to reap the
advantages without having to pay high
price for the sheep. Now if any one
wants to sell off his sheep once in while
he should sell when wool is high and
everybody wants to buy and then buy
when wool is low and everybody wants
to SELL A similar rule was observed by
a merchant in Philadelphia who became
worth several millions. He said his rule
was to buy when everybody wanted to
sell and sell when everybody wanted TO
buy. This is agood rule for farmers
Wool is low and sheep is low, and now
is the time to buy. Buy good sheep and
when wool and sheep advance in price,
you will reap the benefit of your fore
sight in having bought well.

LEBANON, O., Jan. 81, 1878.

Ed. NoRTHwEsT:-The large number of
your readers who are interested in the
National Normal University, will be
panied to learn that the beautiful chapel
lately erected at an expense of $25, 900
was entirely destroyed by fire Thursday
night, January 25th, 1883. Though a
terrible misfortune, the President. A.
Holbrook, is not in the least disconnected,
With characteristic pluck he made i'm.
mediate arrangements for every class so
that no exercise was interrupted. The
whole school assembled the next morn
ing in the City Opera House, and every
provision was made for the> regular con-
tinuance of every exercise. This hall is
said to be the only one in the town capa-
BILE of holding the school, The intention
is to use it until the University Hall is
rebuilt. A movement is on foot, among
the former and present pupils and
patrons of the University by general
subscription, to rebuild the ost struc-
ture. If every friend of the institution
will contribute a dollar, the amount
would be raised at once. The fire will
in no way interfere with the increasing
attendance upon the University. There
are now here ample accommodations for
large number of students and doubt
not that this disaster will but intensity
the interest which the public has always
taken in the National University. The
valuable library was saved. The total
loss is about $50, 900; insurance, $4,000

Amputation Of the Leg.

Money is the universal necessity, and none but q
cynic or fool will affect to despse it. MIR. Abram
Ellsworth, of Port Even, Ulster county, N Y, has
realized this truth. His disease involved the whole
of his thgh-bone, and the suffering man looked for
ward not without apparent reason, to death as his
only deliverer. His family physician refused to am
putate the lmb-asserting shat the operation would
kill the patient on the spot DR.. David Kennedy of
Rondout, N. Y, who consulted, held different
opinion, and amputated the limb. The Doctor then
administered freely his great Blood Specific FAVOR
ITE REMEDY to afford tone and strength to the
system, prevent the return Of the disease, and Mr.
Ellsworth remains to this day in the bloom ofhealth.
This gentleman disease was the offspring of foul
blood, and Kennedy's FAvORITE REMEDY puri-
fed the blood, aud restored to him the power once
more to enjoy his life. Are you suffering from any

slight or temporary defeat. On the

aThe late reverse has been frequently compared to
that which befe the Republican party in 1874. There

proportion Of patriotism and honesty in the one
faction is not pcrceptlbly different from that in the
other. Men do not readily forgive each other for
calling them either ''scoundrels" or "tratos," even
though such sppellations arc well deserved. Only

The Norton Bill.

ED. MISUNDERSTANDING in your
ate issue bill purporting to be a bill
rom Mr.. Norton for turnpiking and
graveling certain public roads leading
from the village of Napoleon in diverse
directions into adjacent neighborhoods
providing for general levy on the whole
county to defray large share of the ex.
penses in constructing said turnpikes and
graveled roads, deem it just and expedi
ent to inquire if such is the demand OF
the general taxpayers of the county. II
not, is such law at the present time
calculated for the general benefit of the
people remote from said village, in pro-
portion to the tax to be levied upon them
for said purpose? The people remote
from the county seat have right to be
heard in this matter before further un-
bearable burdens are heaped upon them
by any selfish interest or party, whose
duty it is to represent the best interests
of the county as whole. The remote
people of Henry county raise no objec.
ton to such roads as Napoleon and
immediate vicinity may see fit to build
for their own convenience, and enhance.
ment of their own property at their own
expense. But further than this at the
present time we know we are but reflect.
ing the sentiments of an already injured
people by burden next door to, If not
to, complete bankruptcy. Who will rear
the special advantage of said law pro-
posed in said bill? Has there been any
petitions unanimously signed by she land
owners and property holders all ovel
said county to authorize said enactment;
Let the people of the different and re-
mote neighborhoods call meetings in the
immediate future and give expression by
resolutions in favor or against such g
law and forward them to the general
assembly. While the people of the
county generally are struggling and
sinking beneath the weights OF taxation
to improve the roads and construct
bitches for themselves in their own
neighborhoods with the general levies
for all other purposes, it seems inhumar
that they must be asked to wallow
through the mud and mire at home and
use their scanty funds to build graveied
roads for others in foreign ne ghborhoods

What the Bonded Whisky Bill Is,

The U. s. Senate last week passed
what is known as the bonded whisky
bill. Although this subject has been
attracting the attention of the country
for two sessions of Congress, has for
nearly year occupied great space in
the daily press, has led to many char
ges of bribery by an alleged whisky
ring, and to long public investiga-
tion, still inquiries are daily made as
to what the measure is about-that is
to say, what the "bonded whisky Pc
riod" means. In brief 1t means. this:
Under the law the revenue tax on
spirits need not be paid at the date of
manufacture, but the whisky may, in
stead, 60 at once into one of the Gov
ernment "bonded warehouses" located
IN every revenue district, and kept by
revenue official called "store-keeper. -
There it may remain, at the option OF
the owner, so long as he pleases not to
exceed a certain period fixed by law,
thus giving him an opportunity to
place it on the market as the state OF
the trade may call for it. 1t happens
that there is now, and has been for the
past year, a very large quantity OF
whisky thus in bond, and the period
when, by law, it must come out, and
the heavy tax be paid in the shape OF
stamps put on and cancelled by the
Government guagers, has nearly
elapsed. The whisky manufacturers
are very anxious that they should not
be forced, at present, to take it out OF
bond, and pay the lax. They base
their objection on the alleged over
stocked condition of the market, and
say that they could not find ready sale
now, and that the heavy tax will bank
rupt them. Others say the object is
simply to avoid paying the tax at
present, in the hope that it will be soon
stricken off by Congress. Be this as
it may, they have been, with tremen-
dous energy pressinga a bill to extend,
by two years, the period during which
their whisky may remain In bond; and
such bill the Senate has just passed.

Tax LeVies.

Almost daily we hear abuse heaped
upon the heads Of our County Com
missioners for being the cause Of high
taxes Now. we propose TO give
few figures to show these parties ex-
actly what authorities levy the taxes,
so that they may distribute their abuse
accordingly. Don't blame the Coanty
Commissioners for what the township,
school and corporation authorities
levy in the way of taxes. The State
and county tax in Henry county is
Sl.53 on the one hundred dollars val.
uation. Ali tax above this amount is
levied by the township, school and
corporation authorities. Freedom
township the lowest in the county,
only levies 40 cents for all township and
school purposes. Necessarily, taxes
in the incorporated villages are higher.
In Napoleon village the township,
school and corporation tax amounts to
$2.75; in Liberty Center, Sl.2l; in
Deshler, $2,25; in Holgate, $3.50.
The tax levied by the State authori-
ties is 20 cents, and that levied by the
County Commissioners is $l.24, less
than is levied by the authorities Of
Napoleon, Deshler and Holgate, and
but cents more than the Liberty Gen.
ter authorities. ~
But one might say, the County
Commissioners are directly accounta-
Bile for all or most of the special taxes.
This IN measure is true, but these
taxes are all asked for by petition of a
majority af those directly benefited.
Therefore, part of the blame should
rest upon them, and not heap the
whole responsibility upon the Commis
sioners. This being the case, as we
stated last week, it would probably be
we'll for the Commissioners to file
away at least part of the petitions
presented for these special improve
ments; pushing those through which
are absolutely necessary; finish up
those already under way, and when
this is done it will be found that many
of the contemplated improvements
will not be necessary.
In this way taxes can be materially
reduced, less growing will be heard,
the County Commissioners and Audi
tor will not be hampered, and better
satisfaction will be had all around.
