Board of Supervisors.

The Board of Supervisors have fixed the rate of taxation for this year at $3.2o on the $roo.
 The sheriff's fees for the collection of taxes has been placed at { per cent against 5 per cent last year and the trcasurer's fees at 5 per cent, being the same as last year.
 The law requires the Bond to fix the percentage of commission allowed these officers, placing the limits at 5 and 6 per cent as the lowest and highest for the collector and 2 and 4 for the treasurer.
 The treasurer's fees last year amounted to $459S, an amount thought by many in excess of the duties performed by that officer. The sherif's fees last year amounted in round numbers to about $5,ooo, mak. ing a total of a little less than SIo,. 900 paid out by the county for the collection and distribution oi the county's revenue. After January Ist, next year, however, the salary bill goes into effect, when the county treasurer becomes ex-officio tax-col- lector, and for the double duties irn- posed upon him is to receive salary of s3,ooo per annum. As the great bulk of the taxes are paid after the first day of January, the above fees will be secelved only'on such portion as is received prior to that time.-- Journal.

A Terrible Experience.

While chopping wood recently in
 ronto Basin, Jacob Lanifer met with terrible accident. The ax glanced and struck him on the leg below the knee severing the bone. At the time Laufer was alone and eight miles from the nearest house. From the loss of blood and pain he was unable to make an effort to reach this the first night, and accordingly remained there all night. The following day crawling around, he managed to make a pair of crutches and started on his journey, which was, however, Jf nec- essity very slow, occupying two days and one night. From the time of receiving the injuries to the time ot getting to assistance it was forty eight hours.

A Fasting Girl.

In Cincinnati a sixteen-year-o girl recently died after fast of fifty. tive days. She had beer attacked with something like paralysis which rendered impossible for her to take nourshment. The human system can not thrive without good food and good ability to digest it. Weak and impaired digistion is rectihed by Browns Iron Bitters-better than any other tonic in the world. Mir. ]. E Freeberg, Pomeroy, Iowa, says: "I used Browns Iron Bitters tor dys- pepsia and poor appetite; completely cured me-" It will cure you.

The Stock of Ex-Presldent ts.

This country has never had very large stock of ex-Presidents living at any one time. The death of General Grant leaves but two men outside the present administration who have filled the Presidential char, and the largest number was in Lincoln's tme, when Buchanan, Pierce. Fillmore, Tyler and Van Buren made the number of ex Presidents up to four There were four survivors when John Quincy Adams took his seat, and the same number when Polk came into office, but in each case the number was re- duced to two before the end of a four years term.
 When General Grant himself be- came President, his surviving prede- cessors were Johnson, Pierce and Fill more, but before the end of his eight years in office they were all dead, so that he was the sole living ex-Presi- dent when Hayes succeeded him in 1877. The widows of four Presidents md Presidents are now liviug, and have been pensioned by act of Congress, each receiv- ing S5,ooo annually, and it is of course probable that the same courtesy will be extended to Mrs. Grant, Waterbury American.

Rejoicings Down south.

LEXINGTON, Ky.-Mr. John T. Bruce, of the United States Revenue Collectors Office, informed an editor of the Daily Press, of this city, that for seven years he suffered terribly from rheumatism in his ankle, which most of the time was swollen to two or three times its natural size. and was so painful that he could not put his foot to the ground. After trying everything he could think of without obtaining relief, he at 10 o'clock one morning tried St. Jacobs Oil, and shortly afterwards made two further applications. At three o'clock that afternoon the pain was all gone; the swelling also disappeared, and the cure was as permanent as it was quick.

 Good horses need not be broken
 in order to find purchasers in the east.
 Eastern horse dealers, many of them,
 prefer to take car load lots and brake
 and mate them according to their own
 tastes. Of course it must be under stood that in order to realize more
 money on horses than is being req
 lized on cattle the same care must be gwen to the points of breeds, num- Der of stallions to given number of mares, regular round-ups, castrating of colts when young, etc, and espec- ially to the production of sizeable animals for harness work, all of which is very simple. With our native mares we can produce from large, we'll bred stallions large perceRt' of harness horses and the colts should be castra. ted at time of brandinGto avoid the risks of loss when casgrated at later period. From band of large, well bred mares, and first class stalIions. d class of horses can be produced that will bring an average price of $Iso eace. This subject is worthy of thought.

Economy in Dress-New Fancy Work

There are ladies who go into good society
who dress on $50 year, upon an average.
They buy the material and make every arti-
Gle they wear themselves. The best dress is
cas- hmere instead OF silk or satin. There is
not a new bonnet or hat with every change
of season, but retouching of the mega

that good cloak that will last for three win
