The Races.

Our reporter, a one-hor;e cen :crn, took III
the races at this place on the afternoon of
the Fonrth. Having Only seen few race
courses in New York, Kentucky, louisiana

Of al, at the fair grounds, in Salem, Oregon,
he was enraptured with, yes, with some
speakanle something when he feasted upon
this field, fire-crAcIers aad bologne sausage.
The course is shaped Ike we'll desormed hen
fruit and is larger than an average ostrich
egg. 1t is just as large as the areage would
permit more or less according to size.
There are so many turns, so often repeated,
So many tangents sines and cotangents par
alle'lograns and hypotenuses that a horse o.
mental calibre would first grow bewildered,
then chow come yon so, and end up with
TIE delirium jim jams. All this, however,
did not phase Ol Baliy. The first race be-
tween him and the Looking Glass horse at
the start showed some sI Iifit, but upon the
third heat it was evident that the latter had
overiistanced itself wi. ljt Old Certainty had
only began to appreciate the fur. The. sec
ond race, single dash of a mile, between
BallY and Jem Winston, resulted III favor Of
the former The latter horse is ce; tainly a
beautiful animal, but was too young and
green for such track. There is promising
uture for this horse The pony race was a
COOL comfortable affair, Four horses started,
cot two abreast, the foremost being about
two hundred feet in advance of the couple in
the rear, and they all came in upon an in
definite length OF time, and, we presume,
went leisurely home. Really, our reporter
is not wild with enthusiasm. He saw better
racing in his paluly days when he was a poor
innocent COW boy. But the managers are
not to blanchard won't stretch, for if it
did the elastic conscences of some of our
blOatcd landed monopolists would have
stretched their farms all over our county
Every available foot of llnl was uti lzei
and as much made out of it as the 'l!ttle
pent-up Utica" woull permit. It is a
shame that the project for an agricultural
society does not receive more encourage
ment. In the event it succeeds there VII
be no excuse for the absence OF q good race
course-one that will reflect credit upon the
county and do justice to competing horses.
This is an enterprise that will prove of con-
tinuing benefit to oar county and will
amply repay every cent invested. We
again beg those most interested to let not
this important matter go under now.

Logan as an Urator.

New ork Tribune, Jan. Is, 1875.
Pranced there in upon the arena of
the great debate, like trick mule in
clrcus, or spawned nightmare upon
the track Of a beautiful dream, Logan
of Illinois. There was a vision Of mus
taches, eyebrows and hair, piled on
each other i'll arches, a large brandlsh-
ing of arms, pose aad stiiducus war
whocp and much as though picture
of the Dcerfeld massacre had stepped
out from the pages of our early history.
Logan took the American Senate by
its large, capacious ear. And then he
went for his mother tongue He smote
it right and left, hip and thigh, ard
showed 40 mercy Swinging the
hro"d-axe of his logic high in the air,
he fnlned it ele it fell, and with the
hammer side struck the language of
sixty millions of people fairly in the
face and smashed it beyond recognition.
Under his stroke the floor of the
American Senate was spattel ed with
Che remnants Of a once proud vocab.-
larry, and messengers, door-keepers and
pages were covered from head to foot
with the spray. In the fearful two
hours that followed the first roar of his
grafton all the parts of speech were
routed and put to flight There were
orphaned adjectives and widowed
nouns; bachelor verbs driven to polyg-
amy and polYgamons verbs left only;
conjunctions discovered, propositions
scattered, adverbs disheveled and di :
torted, and syntax flung into wild dis
order. 1t was a great day for Logan
He set his teeth into the language as
the untamed tiger of the jungles takes
between his mouth and paw the wear
ing apparel Of the wayfarrer, and the
ripping Of it was heard through all the
forest depths. 1t reverberated to the
other end of the Capitol, and sluggish
representatives lifted up their eyes and
! listened to the roar with terrified awe
Some started off for the scene, but upon
being told the cause Of the distul bance
in the brief communication, "Legan's
up" turned back with full assurance
thai they could hear from that end OF
the Capitol all that was worth hearing.
So through two hours Logan swung his
| beautiful arms over the heads of the
| Senate like the booms of Government
derrick, while his chin churned the
language like pile-driver in heavy
sea, and the baM d reporters made wild
plunges with their pencils to gather up
his resurgitations for the printer.
All Logan is great mana states
man; when he throws his intellect into
a question, whether it is finance or sell
government, or of sticking to the shil
somethin, has got to come. And you
may always know where to find him
o-wit: where he has always been,
drawing pay from tie Government in
some capacity. He lacks only fifteen
or twenty things of being an orator.
He has lungs. 80

Our NEWLY Elected Officers.

Wednesday the newly elected officers
assumed their respective duties The
outgoing commissioners failed to appear
and Messrs. Hall and MCGEE had no
trouble in obtaining their seats, as they
had been left vacant for them. They
went to work with as much deliberation
and acumen as though they had been
familiar with the details of the office
all their lives. We predict that the
county's interest will be we'll guarded
during their term. Gus Taylor donned
his official garb bright and early. Of
tenders against law aud order may look
for him to bear down upon them at any
moment. Sheriff Purdom gracefully
yieiedd the distatf and surrendered the
Office with all its appurtenances on the
first requsision. The first official act
of the new sheriff was to feed the sole
remaining prisoner, the other two hav-
ing been released by Sheriff Purdom
within week hv habeas corpus. Kim
ball had more trouble to get possession
of the clerks office, George having
warmed the place SO long was loth to
surrender bis position. Bat with, the
aid of the newly installed sheriff and
the county court, which was in session,
he was duly installed in the Office for
the ensuing two years. William
Moore, however, was not so fortunate
in getting possession OF the treasurer's
office; the returns from Latham not
having been canvassed. Moore had 10
sneak in the back way and take posses
sion Of the office while William was up
town discussing the merits of Coles cir
Gus with his sweetheart. Other Of our
newly elected officers will receive due
comment whenever they fail to come
