A Good Town TO Live In.

The little town of X ingenberg on Main
in Bavaria, enjoys unique and singular
prosperity. Deriving so large an income
from iis quorries that it is able to dispense
entirely will, taxation, the town presents
eacl, one oi its free burghers st each an.
nual Christmas with the equivalent of $50,
and this year it celebrates the Sedan fesli-
vnl by distributing gifts 10 it's househol.
ders mud nll school children, the former
receiving two marks and the latter twenty
pfenniss.
On the completion OF bridge across
the Min few months ago, the cost Of
which wns $50 900, not a farlhing of which
was contributed by residents, bonus of
ten shilling was handed each burgher, and
all the school children got sixpence each.
The town should be known as the taxpay-
er's paradise.

The Worst Fcaturcs Selected.

Ed. JOURNAL: those who are so
free in suggesting Improvements TO Mr..
Wetmore's new Ditch Bill would divise
better remedies to taxpayers in case their
bitches are left unfinished after they have
paid for the same, then people might have
some confidence in the would-be managers
of their (the peoples) business. But only
the worst features Of our infamous special
ditch law are recommended rs substitutes
for those in Mr.. Wetmore's BILL conspic-
uous among which is the lone or more
persons" (as petitioners clause, which ut
once assumes that the great majority of
Wood county farmers are either too stupid
or two selfish to favor Improvements for
the general good, and that each improve
ment can be effected only by zone or more
petitioners" and certain managers, who
probably have county ditch bond transnc.
tions view. Even if zone or more pc
tiTioner,n had only bogus claim on
few acres of laad the great majority Of
real land owners along the line of any pro.
posed ditch cenld have no voice in the
matter NJ all. II seens, however, that
neither the managers nor the zone or more
petitioners" care straw whether the
lower end of ditches is flushed or not af-
ter the assessments for The same are COL
ircted. Hence the general lack OF conf
dence IN the professions OF hose who seek

GRAND RAPIDS JOTTINGS.

DEAR JOURNAL L:-Thinking that few
lines from this locality might be of inter.
eat TO nj least some OF your readers, will
venture to inirude. First, / would re.
mark that everybody seems well pleased
will, lhel,leliehiful winter we are having
and the highways are lhronged with teams
hauling logs to mill, wood to market and
stone from the quarries here in every di-
reclion, and our quarrymen of course are
happy. The large piles Of stone along the
river bank are rapidly disappearing, some
for bridge purposes being hauled fifteen
aud twenty miles, and still the supply IN
the bed Of the river, at this point, seems
unlimited.
Grain comes in slowly, on account of
low prices, many Of our best farmers hold /.
ing for better prices. A heavy business in
shipping live stock, especially hogs, has
and still is being done. Messrs. J. & d. w,
Huffman and Shnnks q Lnskey, being the
principal buyers. The former gentlemen
have shipped = car loads and the latter
o car oads. Trade is good and the two
rev stores that have come to our town but
recently are doing good business, while
the other four seem to be getting their full
share; and every indication points to u
rapid and permanent growth OF the town.
For mutual advantages few towns can
compare. Facilities ior shipping both by
r. II. and canal, s.rroundrd by fertile
soil, and peoped by nm industrious and
int Ii gent class 0f cilizens, while in ON
avn ranks may he found men who not on
iy have the capacity but capital to carry OF
an extensive business. Good schools ant
good churches ought NJ least TO indicate
healthy moral tone.
Many new buildings have been erected
