A Boron PREDICTED-We venture the
assertion that if the Legislature passes an
act or acts in regard to the sheritEalty in this
county, it will be botch We say this be-
cause there has been too much political fire
thrown into the case The thing should be
gone into calmly and persevering, and should
strike at the root of the evil,-and that root
is the tramp,-from which grows sheriffs'
and magistrates and constabes' fees. We
want no additional board Of officers to man

All signs fail in dry weather, hut how is it
now, with that ancient and venerable wealth
er seer, the ground hog If he meant clouds,
he's an inexprcssiblc success; if he intended
that we should understand him as saying
that six weeks of wintry weather would
follow, we have reason to be skeptical as to
his reliability. Why, they have even gone
back on "Old Indications" out at Cincinnati
ii and charge him with promising an arctic
wave two days in succession, when in real
ity warm weather got warmer. We very
much fear that old Jupiter Pluvius has got
ten the upper hand Of things and is taking
his spite out of Aurora, inasmuch as rosy
fingered Dawn" does not paint glowing pic
lures on the Portals Of the East with her &C.
customed abandon and he has evidently sent
lying Mercury with the weather dispatches
to his mundane proxies.
