THE DECISION.

The supreme court in giving it's decis-
ion on the case appealed from this coun.
ty in relation to the equalization of taxes,
decides some things obiter dictu, viz
That (a) a town can not bring an action
under the statute for the equalization of
assessments by commissioners, unless
authorized by the electors, or (2) the
action must be brought by the taxpayers
or some of them. The decision is based
upon the following mainly: The petit
ton averred that the commissioners did
not review the assessment OF personal
property, and hence was illegal. The
court holds that there is nothing in the
report of the commissioners to show that
they neglected their duty in not review
ing the assessment of personal property,
and that the presumption is in favor of
their having done their duty in this par
ticular, nothing to the contrary appear
ing in their report. The report shows
afirmatively an unequal valuation of
real estate by the county board, and is
correct SO far as it appears. The infer
ence is that it is the duty of the commits
sioners to review personal property,
which practically settles the point in
which people were interested.

GRAND CELEBRATION.

The Germans of this county are max.

the 200th anniversary of the establish
ment of the first German colony in
America, that of Germantown, in PEN

October Sth, 1853. On Sunday last the
Turn Verein held meeting for the pur-
pose of appointing committees for the
different towns, to make arrangements
for the celebration to take place on the
Sth prox. The programme of exercises
has not yet been prepared but it no doubt

Germantown is quite historic place.
It was here Washington tried to surprise
the English troops. in 1777, and w.ould
have succeeded but for Fog which in.
terfered seriously with the movements
of his army and was the cause of his de.
feat.
Germans settled Germantown as the
first distinctive German colony. Penn
sought to induce Germans to settle in
the new domain he had acquired in the
new world and made trip up the Rhine
for the purpose of encouraging emigra,
ton. Before this number of Germans
were IN America. A colonial governor,
Adrian Vanderdorck, took occasion to
speak approvingly of the introdu ction
and cultivation of the grape by the Ger
mans then in America. In October, 1858

THE COUNTY FAIR.

About the usual crowd in attendance
| the 3rd day of the Fair assembled at
Clark's Mills on Wednesday. There
were but few agricultural products on
exhibition. In fact these keep growing
less in number and poorer in quality each
year. Quite good showing of stock
was made. Dan Tracy exhibited 2
year old colt that would do credit to any
fair.
Floral Hall presented exhibits both Ct
utilitarian and aesthetic features. A
pencil drawing by Miss Eliza Oberg of
Eaton-The Washington Family,-wss
very finely executed and received deserv-
ed praise from all who saw it.
The trotting was decidedly tame af-
fair, only three horses being entered
Thomas Clark of this city won easily
without urging his horse. Tom Halron
seemed to trot against time and came
out ahead evidently, as he used up a
good portion of it. The running races
were equally uninteresting, barring the
fact that boiling horse made it quite
lively for those in his cratic course.
The riders head was looked for as ea-
gerly among the crowd as was the white
plume of Navarro in the fight. The
crowd was on his side and he vas always
with the crowd, an instance of mutual
sympathy as rare as it is praiseworthy.
The sham battle seemed to take i'm
mensely. Some of the old soldiers who
looked ON remarked sententiously, cit is
like the genuine article" while Others
who had breathed the sulphurous smoke
in serious fight criticised the military
movements. 1t was pre- determined
that the indians had to go and go they
did with the victorious militia at their
heels, driving them toward the setting
sun, toward which all good Indians with
a prediction for humiliation move.-
The sham battle was new feature and
many insist, the best of the fair.
The stockholders have concluded IN
remove the fair grounds to this CITY :
arrangements looking toward that end
were partially perfected yesterday. But
a little liberality on the part of our bus
mess men who will be benefited by the
removal, is called for.
