General Laws 1874, chapter /, sec
ton l12, relating to the assessment and
collection of taxes, provides that
the list of delinquent taxes upon real
estate remaining unpaid on the first
day of June shall be published once in
each of three consecutive weeks in
some newspaper of general circulation,
and that the newspaper in which such
publication shall be made shall be
designated by resolution of the board
of county commissioners of the county
in which the taxes are levied, at their
annual meeting in January, or at a
meeting of said board to be held on
the third Monday of June in each
year; copy of which resolution, certi-
fed by the county auditor, shall be
filed in the Office of the clerk OF the
court" The third Monday in June,
1874, was the 18th day of that month.
The county commissioners of Kandi-
yohi county while in session at their
annual meeting in the month of Jan
uary, 1874, did not so designate a news
paper, nor did they hold a meeting
or so act on the third Monday of June
of that year. Said board adjourned
from its January meeting in 1874 to
March Is, then to March 10, then to
June 10, and then to June 20, and on
the last-named day it passed a resolu-
ton designating a newspaper wherein
to publish such delinquent tax list.
Held, that the tine fixed and limited
by law for that purpose had previously
expired, the act of the board in pass
ing such resolution was thereby void
for want Of jurisdiction. Judgment
reversed. - Buck, j.

A Teachers, Meeting.

Quite an interesting teachers meeting
was held in the school room on Friday
evening, attended by a large audience. NJ.
o. Howe, one of the town directors, gave
an interesting talk on the "Grade of mag
nitude," giving the distance from Brattle-
borO to many other places in "air line"
one of which places was Australia, show
ing that the old time teaching that our eX
act antipodes were in China was not cor
rect, but a straight line descent through
the earth would bring us little south of
Australia and a thousand or more miles
from China. After these remarks an eXer-
else was given by Mr.. Peterson's second
class in arithmetic, which showed not only
their knowledge of the principles but their
ability to explain their work, which was
very pleasing. Then came the spelling
match" led by Eunice Morse and Mabel
Perry, each one having 10 or II to assist
her M. o. Howe, who spelled with the
class, surrendered on the word "resurrec-
ton" About half of each side consisted
of scholars and the remainder were citizens
of the village who, as j. II. Mortified re-
marked, "had not looked into spelling
book for 20 years" Mr.. Peterson's schOl-
ars sang very prettily to open and close the
meeting, with Mabel Perry at the organ.

Gov. Woodbury.. After speaking of the
Nermonter's love for his state and of the
hero, Ethan Allen, he said:
To-day the people of Vermont possess in
a great degree, the characteristics of their
ancestors. | make the statement advsedly
when | say that no state in the Union
equals Vermont in purity OF politics. 1t
is an unknown thing for money or other
immoral influences to be used in our cleo
tions, except very rarely in the large towns.
In seven-elghths of all the towns such a
thing as bribery is unknown. Our legls-
lators are absolutely incorruptible.
"Nermont is justly proud of the infu-
ence she has eXerLed in the councils of the
nation for the last fifty years. Though
one of the smallest of all the states in
population and acreage she has eXerted an
influence in Congress not equaled by any
other state, however large. In politics
Vermont is conceded to be Republican, and
if New York had gone as strongly Repub-
lican last fall as Vermont, Gov Morton
would have had over 300, 600 majority"

being Senator Redheld Proctor, Lieut.
