| The county court. last week. after
| transacting the usual business, was re-
quired to sit as a board of equalization
on merchants licenses. This in com
| pliance with a fool law passed by the
late legislature. Talk about cranks!
The legislature appears to be an asy-
| lum for them. and their numbers in
crease from year to year If the laws
| they make didn't add to the tax-bur-
! den, one might afford to laugh at
! them, and so let them pass: but As 1T
| is. there i serious as we'll as comic
side to the matter. Would it not pay

silver and lead. The specimens 50 far
tested by Mr. l.. NJ. Hebener develop
d bout % ounces of silver and one-half
lead. The gentlemen who own the
land are satisfied that they have a good
thing and that on further investigation
the ore will prove much richer in sill

| Last Monday afternoon Chas. Lash
| Iey's team. hitched to post In front of
Albert's. broke loose and started down
street full tilt. Several persons on the
sidewalk attempted to head the horses,
bat only succeeded in diverting them
to the west side of the street. John
Schwab's mill team had backed up a
wagon-load of flour to the sidewalk
| fronting Recess old storehouse where
in the breadstuff was being stored
The ruDaways being diverted TO that
side of the street, soon colllded with
the standing team and were brought
to very sudden stop-fortuuately
without serious damage to any OF the
animals. But the harness on the Lash

sections. The entan clement of horses
and harness was very complicated for
a few minutes. but they were straight

went their several ways.

elm. and the sycamore: but to view
this transformation with pleasure one
must be fittlngly and comfortably clad.
