when he had three years OF his term

and go TO London. where he hoped to
perfect himself In the art Of printing.
Without saying adieu he left and went
TO Halifax whence he hoped to work
his way to London. In this he was dis
appointed and was glad TO enter the
employ OF the Halifax Gazette An
thony Henry was the publisher OF the
paper. He was an easy-going Dutch
man and the hustling young Bostonlan

now that he had paper under his

His Republican Principles.
The Stamp Act was agitating The
colonies and the young printer neglect

loyal, however, and young Thomas re-
ceived but little support In his conten

When seven years old his mother

Unfortunately the boys master was
not capable OF teaching him to any
respectable degree. What he learned

also arduous for one OF his years. In
the office he was the devil" and about
the house he did all kinds Of servants

partner by the name OF Samuel Drakei
and from him Thomas learned consld-
cradle about printing About this dine
he became interested IN wood ongrav-

used aud were commcndable.
For II years young Thomas served
his master faithfully. but early In his
term had learned to look upon him

70 Release Aguinaldo.

Victoris, B. c., November 13 -
According to mail advices received
from Manila by the Empress Of
China Judge O'Neil, an American
lawyer, is engaged in endeavoring to
secure the release of Aguinaldo by
habeas corpus proceedings.
Washington, November IS While
the war department has not been ad
vised of the reported step to obtain
the release of Aguinaldo from captiv-
ity, through writ OF bsbsas corpus.
they we're prepared for move III
that direction. 4 few weeks sgo the
first application Of this kind was
made in the case of military pEis-
enor, and as there was some indica
tion of a disposition on the part of
the Philippine commission to uphold
the right Of habeas corpus in that
case, the president was obliged to
cable instructions, both to the COM
mission and to Gen. Chafse, the re-
suit Of which was practical denial
Of the writ.
AS far as Aguinaldo is concerned
it is said that his captivity is only
nominal. The only evidence of it
consists in the appearance by his
side of an army officer when be walks
about the town, for he is free to 60
almost anywhere. Moreover, it is
s9id that this escort is perhaps
necessary to ,otect Aguinsldo from
attack, as be has been threatened by
secret socIties.

r. ?. County Bonds.

Edsefeld, November 1.-The peo
pie of E1gefeld, Wise and Pickens
townships especially are more hope
ful in reference to being relieved from
the enforcement at once of the %
mill tax to pay the railroad bonds
COW due. Attorney General Bell;n-
ger has given on opinion to the pub
lie stating that the county treasurer
has 70 right according to statutes to
collect any tax enforced by a manda-
mus from the United States court.
The most feasible plan to adopt now
is to have one of our members Of the
legislature in January next to intro
duce al act authorizing the county
commissioners to put on the market
q new set of bonds and let the pro-
ceeds of the. bonds 60 toward payi1 g
the holders of the old bonds. Great
care is needed in issuing new bonds
80 that the payment of them can be
contaminated in 20 or 80 years so as
to bit the taxpayere, now burdened
with heavy taxes, lightly. It is to be
hoped that by the next maturity
they will be paid and settled forever.
