including the Village of Yale, over
your assessment $4,000. And to all
of the towns in the county in aggregate
you added one million, over assess

know is, have the Cities increased or
decreased in assessable value in the
last ten years, more especially the Sec
ond and third wards of Port Huron.
We are entitled to an explanation from
you showing whether the cities have
deprecated in value, and the town

do so, you must abide the. censure
which facts impose upon you. Casting

THE VILLAGE OFFICERS.

We owe it to our village officers of
the past year to say III t they have
been most thoroughly b ess NJ to the
village. Without over axing the viii
lage they have broueh alb ut some
great improvement 8, which will he of
great advantage both from an aesthetic
and healthful point of view. They
have built an expensive drain, which
will always be blessing, built nearly
mile and Il half of sidewalks, estab-
lished numerous street-lamps, kept
our streets in good condition, and
done a great many other things of
hardly less imror ance. They deserve
the hearty thanks of every inhabitant
of the village, and should be rewarde
by being returned. The rge can
not do better. They are all conscien.
tious men. They have fulfilled their
duty beyond complaint, and CRATE.
full public can not do more than give
them all another term. They are tried
and found true. The folly of putting
in untried men, just because we may
like them personally, can not be EN-
phacised too much.

SUPERVISOR HODCINS.

Mr.. Hodgins should have known that
his office, supervisor of the Township

then all the safe guards to the rights
of the people arc down.
There are many of our friends and
neighbors who expected you to explain
your conduct as a member of the COM
mittee on equalization last October. We
are fully satisfied from the report of
that committee that the City of Port
Huron was equalized ut only $l64,26O

Port Huron was equalized at SCOOPS

A BACK-DOWN.

Last week our worthy contem.
came out with words like the follow
ing, after saying that it "bids adieu to
the tax controversy"
"But the better class of people
realize just how the matter stands.
Nobody is guilty of an objectionable
crime. But new unit of valuation
should be at once adopted in this
county. There are errors in the pres
ent way of approximating values,

taken care of their townships and

Is it thus that the glories of the
earth pass away? Our inhos. table

versy first started he would crush us
with a look. The greatness of the

just when a peevish party organ, which

which we printed last week from Ira

Checking Coughing and Sneezing.

DIR. Brown-Sequard, in one of his lee
lures, dwells with great emphasis on the
Importance of general knowledge in the
matter of checking coughing and sneez-
ing. He states that coughing can be
stopped by pressing on the nerves of the
lips in the neighborhood of the nose,
and sneezing may be stopped in the
same way. Pressing in the neighbor-
hood of the ear, right in front of the
ear, may stop coughing. 1t is so also of
hiccoughing, but much less so than for
sneezing or coughing. Pressing very
hard on the roof of the mouth is also
means of arresting cough, and the will
itself is often found to be a wonderful
preventive. DIR. Brown -Sequard points
out that IN addition to the many ordi-
nary reasons why people should know
these simple facts, there are conditions
under which this knowledge may prove
of the greatest value. In bronchitis and
pneumonia, or any acute affection of the
lungs, hacking or coughing may lead to
serious results, and the ability to readily
mitigate or arrest them is of the highest
Importance. Chicago Neaos.

WE AND THE WORLD.

The world is the same as it used to be,
But there have come changes to you and TO
There is just as much right and as little of
wrong,
There is just as much summer and sunshine
and song.
But we-oh. we look through our tears and
And we fancy the fields are all cheerless
and bare,
And we say of the picture, "How sadly
derangedp
But it isn't at ALL it is we who have changed.
The birds sing as sweetly, and brooks as they
Are babbling the songs of the glad long
ago,
The butterflies dance in the meadow to-day,
And the children are laughing about in the
hay.
Our ears have grown dull and bedimmed is
the eye,
And we miss all the beauty of earth and of
sky.
We are shut in ourselves; were we not we
could see
That the world is the same asst used to be.

it is crowded at the noon hour and the

The absurdity of the German laws
against the importation of American
pork was shown in a recent issue of the
Augemeine Reichs Correspondent. The
paper, after relating the vain attempts of
the merchants of Berlin to induce the
Government to withdraw the prohibition
against the American meat, declares that
the law is constantly evaded. American
meat is sent to Holland and Denmark
packed in ice. In those countries the
meat is smoked and forwarded to Ger
many as "Dutch' or "Danishn meat.
Recently more than 10000 packages of
such American Dutch meats were offered
for sale in the markets of the German
capital. The Journal quoted above de-
clares that the Americans have offered to
sell meats in the Berlin markets at forty
three to forty-fve pfennigs, or ten to
eleven cents pound. At present, adds
the New York Tribune, German meat is
much dearer than that.

Ducks as Fire Extinguishers.

Once at large house in the country
the chimney took fire. The flames
spread to the woodwork in different
parts of the house, and although the fire
was extinguished at each place it caught,
it still burned in the chimney, and from
time to time spread in some other direc-
ton. The fire grew hotter and hotter,
and threatened to burst the chimney. 1t
was hard to reach, and there seemed no
way of putting it out.
The gentleman who owned the house
was fcnd of fowls, and possessed some
valuable ones. A boy who stood by
looking at the fire saw the danger, a
bright idea struck him. He ran to the
duck pen and startled the sleeping ducks
by seizing by their legs as many of the
largest as he could carry. The ducks
squawked vigorous protests, but were
hurried off. A ladder was called for,
and before any one realized what he was
going to do, the young fellow mounted
to the roof, and made his way to the
chimney.
Flames and smoke were pouring out,
but the boy went as near as he dared,
and by dexterous motion tossed duck
down the narrow shaft. 1t disappeared,
huttering and squawking. The flames
subsidized little, and the smoke grew
denser. The boy threw down another
duck, and after minute another. The
cloud of SCOT and dust carried down by
the tapping wings of the ducks smoth-
cred and checked the fire with such good
effect that the advantage gained was
easily followed up, and the fire soon put
out without further damage. e.-Haapers

Over 80, 900 head of neat cattle and
5000 horses and mules died of starva-

Amazon, above the delta. The annual
floods were higher than usual, and the

not afford to hire tugboats and barges
to transport them from the narrow
ridges between the numerous channels of
the river, on which the stock was so un-
expectedly imprisoned, to the upland
ten miles or more back from the valley
