THE EA G LE. OFFICIAL I’AI’KK OF THE COUNTY. LOCAL & MISCELLANEOUS. w=r== “ L ’ fI HDAY, December 8, 1865. Several fatal cases of Typhus or spotted fever, have occurred in the south part of this county, and the north part of i Jay county within the last two weeks. It nssutned a very malignant character; in j •everal cases the persons attacked with it. lived but a few hours. In some instances i the spots were plainly visible, in others i thev were not so marked, and in one or I two cases they were not perceptible. As i we have heard of no new esses of late, we i presume it will go no farther. <-3' Monday night of last week, Mr ] Eli Zimmerman, of this township, and Mr. John Hurtman, of Kirkland township, each, had a fine, horse stolen. Nothing has since been heard from either the horses or thieves, and no systematic effort made to follow’ them. Within the last few months four horses have been stolen in this county, and the thieves in each case made good their escape. Persons owning valuable horses, in addition to keeping a watchful eye on this species of property, should immediately take an accurate measurement and description of their horses, that in die event of their being stolen they could be described correctly If some of the rascals are not speedily brought to justice, ; look out for speedy repetitions of the of ; fence, and we caution our readers to be on the alert, and tn case of another theft of the kind, follow them with the tenacity of a blood hound, and they will seldom escape tLe punishment they so richly deserve. Xrf Some fellow entered our Commissary Monday night, forcing the lock on the door. For two reasons we are almost ashamed to mention it, and would not but that we place a miserly grasp on a j “local.” The first is because we dislike to discover the leanness of our larder to the public,- and second, because we dis--1 like acknowledging we have so mean a ’thief in this community. He is certainly -.as big a fool as he is mean, or he would never have undertaken it. But on taking ■ a candid view of the matter, we have, ■ perhaps, done the poor devil injustice, as j all he succeed in,getting was a few pounds I of beef, and he even then had.the rnagtin- ' ,nimity to divide with us. We would; like to have caught him in the act, so ' that we could have had a good laugh at; his ixpetise; but, perhaps, it is better as I it is, for he might not have relished the joke, and we in the end got a “licking.” , But the idea of going into an editor’s | smokehouse—preposterous—appearances | ,are deceptive—we shall own up—that] dock was put on the doot to prevent just I such discoveries as our midnight visitor . made, not with the least idea of preventing people from stealing. But our pride has received a downfall, and wc hope our patrons will appreciate the sacrifice we ■ have made, and we modestly suggest that | if w« had the wherewith to eat and drink., we might “laugh and grow fat.” SJ- Last Saturday a horse thief named | .James Fairfield, who bad stolen a horse and buggy’ from Dieker <fc Bro., Wapakoneta, Ohio, passed through this place, and succeeded in selling the horse to George Fetick—he had previously disposed of the buggy to M. Majors, of Wilshire. After the sale he drank a toast to the “suckers,” as follows: Here is success to thieves; when they steal, may they Meal away from bad company. After which, he departed in a hired conveyance {for Monroeville, and succeeded in making bis escape. The same evening tt® owners of the bqrse arrived, when George yielded up with the best grace imaginable, G It E A T REDUCTION IN PRICES. OUR STOCK OF DRY GOODS.

There was but little business except tua usual allowances. License to

* sell liquor was granted to Scbirmeyer and Miesse, A. Trager, Michael Sorg and James McLean. It was expected that the 1 Good Templars would remonstrate, and appeal from the action of the Board, but iso far, nothing has been done. The Special Session—Retrenchment. No purpose for which the Special Sess- ■ ion was called has yet been anounced. jlt is costing the State at the rate of I about eighty thousand dollars for the J session. A year from this winter the Legislature meet in course. The public ■ debt not being due the session was not, ■of course, called to saddle the people I with an increase of interest on that. But ’ there is a course of action, a set of meas-1 ures, by which more than the cast of the extra session might be saved to the i State. Shall those measures, be ad- ■ opted? In the spring of 1861, when the Re- ■ publicans, bv a long continued breach of constitutional faith with the South, had involved the nation in a sectional civil war, the whole North was compelled to come forward io extinguish it. The Governor called an extra session of the Legislature, which created and filled new offices, laid additional taxes, made additional and monstrous appropriations; in short, put the State upon an extravagant wer footing, and, by subsequent legislation, that war footing has been kept up, and appropriations made to keep it up for the year 1866. For example, a tax, was levied for the support of soldiers, families. A militia law was passed which Gen- ’ eral Tesrei.l (we call him General be-1 cause the law gives him the pay of a j General) says was grod for nothing, (though to prevent its amendment the I Republicans Legislature ran off to Madison and enabled the Givenor to overtiirow the constitutional Government of the State) and a tax of from seventy-five thousand to one hundred thousand a year levied to supply funds—paymasters, etc. were created (we believe Fisher and others still draw pay.) Appropriations were made for 1866 in order to furnish a Republican fund lor the purpose of carrying the election of that year, after this fashion: For telegraphing by the Governor §5,000 For house rent for the Governor. 5,000 ' For clerk hire for the Governor.. 12,000 i For civil contingencies for the Governor7.ooo For miecllaneuus expenses 10,000 . The Adjutant General has about the same sums. Then there are for the military fund for the legion, etc§2oo,ooo For the State Quartermaster's Departments,ooo There are samples of the appropria ; tions for 1866. I Again; the school tax, also, has been | greatly increased. Now, as to the above | provisions of law, except tiiat for the . support of soldiers families, of which we ! now say nothing, and that for the school ; tax. which we may speak of hereafter, I why are they to be kept on the Statute ( book? Are the offices and officers to be kept up on a war footing now that the j war has been over a half year already? | Will not our Democratic in the Legislature show their devotion to the interests !of the laboring men who have to pay tiie : taxes, by procuring a repeal of those | wasteful acts? The hope of the people is now in the Democracy. The Republicans have squandered. The Demccracy will save. Tha people of this Slate are deeply in debt. Multitudes of farms have been I mortagagedl to raise money to hire sub- | stitutes for the draft. These mortagages ; must be maturing. Then there are, we : are told, about ten millions of municipal : indeptedness for war purposes, which the i legislature has required to be paid in four years. The tact, also, is never to . be forgotten that the rich bondholders are exempt by a Republican law of Congress from taxation, so that the poor men have i the State, city and county taxes to pay. In view of all these things, can we not have economy in the State administra- : lion? Will not the men about- the State ’ House, will not the Governor let go (.he ■ clutch on the people’s money? As Gov. Baker is an adept at messages, will he . not send one on this subject to the Legilature? We presume that it has been a 1 pure oversight that he has not already I done it. Let us have economy. Let the i j Legislature do something to save the people the 880,000 extra cost of this so far bootless session of our wise law ma- | kers.— itid- Herald. MARRIED. Oct. 12, by Levi Ray, J.
