THE COUNTY G0vERNMENT,

To sift the whole business fully as possible The
investigation has been long and tedious one and
tas must always be in such eases in many respects
an unsatisfactory one. 1t is hardly necessary to
premise that we have been influenced by 40 ma
cious motives nor by any desire to conceal any
wrong doing.
The routine methods of transacting the public
business are OF loose slip shod character and con-
sequeptly very wasteful. Add to this, what the
papers accompanying this report will prove reck-
less squanderng Of the public funds and the results
are BIZ no means cheering.

A Word For Mutton.

The mutton of a well-fed sheep If
every breed, from the Downs and Shires
down to the little wooded Saxony, is
palatable and healthful None of the
objections urged against the use of pork
can be brought against those of mutton.
1t has never been known to impart
scrofula, trichin@ or tape worms to it's
consumers. The sheep does not thrive
in the mire, nor does it consume garbage
or vernlin, OF decaying meats or vege-
tables. It does not wallow In the trough
it feeds from, but it is dainty and a
careful feeder, ard as clearly as needs
be in its habits. Mutton is more easily
produced than beef, is just as nutritious,
and may be served in as great variety of
forms. AS a steady food, it is far su-
perior to poultry and costs no more We
mean good, fat. juicy mutton; not that
from the half-starved, scabby or foot
rotted specimens that have outlived
their breeding age and been shorn of
fleece enough to furnish blankets for
tribe of Indians. People in cities sell
dom know how really good mutton
tastes, and the remark may also apply
to most families upon the farm. The
latter too often fail to try it. We know
of many well-to-do farmers, men who
have well-stocked farms, vino do not
slaughter sheep during twelvemouth,
yet who kill pig every month in the
summer season, and in the fall "pnt
down" pork enough to last every other
month during the year. This is a
nation of meat-eaters, but it confines
itself too exclusively to pork and beef.
It is better to sandwich in little more
mutton. A few sheep for family con-
sumption, even when they are not kept
for sale or for wool, will be found an
excellent investment on all FARMS

COurted Her Like 5000.

There was man named Watkins in a
Confederate regiment during the war,
who was well on toward middle life, but
when his wife came to camp one day
she seemed to make him young by COM
parison. There seemed to be a centu-
rvs difference between them; and the
man, who was as ugly as Georgia
cracker usually is, was handsome be-
side his wife. GLOW did you ever come
to marry such an old witch as that"
asked one of his superior officers, taking
him aside. well, you see,' said the
man, rather sheepiShly, cher mother
kept a little grocery store down on the
corner of the street where L lived, and
used to go in there to get what 1
wanted to eat. One day I found the
old woman's ugly daughter all alone in
the store. Just as came in I heard
the clink of silver through the loose
rafters overhead, and the old woman
counting, 'One, two, three and so on.
I sat down and made love to the girl,
and the old woman upstairs kept on
counting. By-and-by she was away up

the old woman got higher. Finally she

What the Birds Accomplish.

The swallow, swift and nighthawk
are the guardians of the atmosphere.
They check the increase of insects
that otherwise would overload it.
Woodpeckers, creepers and chicadees
are the guardians of the trunks of trees.
Warblers and fy-catchers protect the
foliage. Blackbirds, crows, thrushes
and larks protect the surface of the
soil. Snipe and woodcock protect the
soil under the surface. Each tribe has
its respective duties to perform in the
economy of nature; and it is an I'M
doubted fact that if the birds were all
swept off the face of the earth. man
could not live upon it; vegetation
would wither and die; insects would
become so numerous that no living
thing could withstand their attacks.
The wholesale destruction occasioned by
grasshoppers is undoubtedly caused by
the thinning of the birds, such as grouse,
prairie hens, ETC., which feed upon
them. The great and inestimable services
done to the farmer, gardener and florist
by the birds is only becoming known by
sad experience. Spare the birds and
save your fruit; the little hill of corn
and fruit taken by them is more than
compensated by the quantities of nox-
ious insects they destroy. The long
prosecuted crow has been found, bY
actual experience, to do more good by
the vast quantities of grubs and insects
he devours, than the harm he does in
the few grains of corn he pulls up. He
IS one of the farmers best friends.
