Blue Creek v ' ” 571 571 Monroe “ 417 78 French “ 467 31 Hartford “ 533 31 Whbash “ U 52 94 Jefferson 514 44 Total, 8,233 61 Classified under the the different funds it stands thus: State taxes, •927 59; County tax, 81874 99; Road tax, $466 52; School tax, • 747 89; Township tax, 8304 17; Sinking Fund tax, 8629 11; Special School tax 8409 72; Volun***r tax, 8947 43; Corporation tax, 871 48. The delinquencies of previous years are not included in ! 1 thia classification. The total amount of taxes de- ' linquent in 1866, was 85,886 15, which is pretty good evidence that the people of our county are not • J in a* good a condition, financially, • m they were one year ago, ' 1

Children’s Pictures. —Pictures of infant’s and small children are made a “specialty” at Shoaff’s new Art Gallery. Parents cannot tell how-long the dear little ones may remain with them, consequently they should procure pictures- at once. Go to Shoaff’s. Improvements.—Our citizens are busy re constructing their old buildings in the way of additions, repairs, painting, etc., and putting up new structures. Things are moving. The sound of the saw and hammer can be heard from “early morn ’til dewy eve,” in all parts of our town. “Beast” Butler in Town.—Last Saturday • night a burglary was committed that bore the ear marks of the “Beast,” and the unanimous verdict of the people sustains us iip this conclusion. During the night some burglars entered the residence of Jesse Niblick, by raising a window. Portions of the house were pretty thoroughly ransacked. The principal raid was upon his larder, from which they took several loaves of the staff of life, butter. canned fruits, a set of .spoons, and a common oil cloth carpet sack to carry their plunder in. They also secured a few dollars in “stamps,” that they found lying around loose. Mr. Niblick made an unsuccessful attempt to overhaul them the next day, but Ben is too old a thief to be caught napping. We hope “our member” will examine the “Beast's” pock- . ets for Mr. Niblick’s spoons. If I returned no questions will be 1 asked. The same night an unsuccessful ! attempt was made to enter the {Clothing store of McLean A Bro. The burglars placed a dry goods box at the rear window and commenced operations, but discover- ; ing the room was occupied they wisely decamped, content with their old-clothes. JSF'The following pretty little poem is clipped from an exchange, where it appears without credit.— We do not, at the moment, remember the author, but have an I impression that it is by John G. Saxe: WHY TRUTH GOES NAKED. 1 List ton tale well worth the car Os all who wit and s°nse admire; t Invented—it is very clenr—- ’ Some age prior to Mathew Prior. ''FriEi'hoo.Taad Truth, l Qswi a "time” ~ I One .lay in .bine's delicious yeather, 1 ('Twas in a distant age and clime.) I Like sisters, took a walk together. I On on their merry way the took, Through fragrant mood and verdant meadow, j To where a beech beside a brook Invited rest beneath its shadow. There, sitting in the pleasant shade, Upon the margin's grassy matting, ' 1 A velvet cushion ready mnde,) j The young companions fell to chatting Now, while in voluble discourse, On this and that (heir tongues were running, ' . As habit bids each speak—perforce, The one is frank, the other cunning. , Falsehood,at length, impatient grown M ith scandals ofber own creation, Said, “Since we two are quite alone, And nicely serened from observation Suppose in this delightful 1 ill, j While nil round is so propitious, ! We take a bath?'' Said Truth, •'! will— A bath I'm sure will be delicious!’’ : At this her robe she cast aside, i And in the stream that ran before her She plunged—like Ocean's happy bri le. As naked as her mother bore her! Falsehood at leisure now undressed, Put off the robes her limbs that hamper, I And having donned Truth's snowy vest, Ban off as fast as she could scamper, i Since then the subtle maid, in sooth, l_-Expert in lies and shrewed evasions, Has borne the honest name of Truth, An'l wears her clothes on all occasions While Truth, disdaining to appear In Falsehood's petticoat and boddice, Still braves all eyes Prom year to year, as a marble goddess! A notice recently appeared in the New Orleans Times calling for a couple of carpet-baggers to go into an interiorilistrict as radical candidates for Judge and district Attorney. There is not a radical in the locality, and the negroes wanted some one to vote for The executioner of Madrid has assassinated his mistress. The European opponents of the death penalty claim that this event is the most striking proof of thefaet that execution will not deter murderers from shedding human blood.

Frightful Prophecies Concerning the end of all things are made by religions enthusiasts; andon the Other hand, philosophers insist that the centre of the Earth is a inass of lire —that, the poles of the Jtlarth will one day be at the Equator, and that the Sun isgradually fading! Talk like this is very terrible; but pending such wholesale calamities, it will be as well for ' each member of society to take care of , his or health, and leavt the rest to Providence. The end comes prematurely to all who neglect the preservation of that inestimable blessing. Suffer liver diseases, dyspepsia, chronic constipation or any other ailment to take its course uncheck- • ed, and.iLwill assuredly shorten life, — , It cannot be said that the?means of protecting the system against the predisposing causes of disease are withheld. The constitutions and physique of the j least, robust may be so strengthened and j fortified by a course of HOSTETTER S 1 STOMACH BITTERS as to render them all but invulnerable, not only to the aU taeks of epidemic disorders, but also to 1 the ordinary complaints which prevail in all countries and at all seasons. If; the immense importance of protective medication were universally understood, ■ this incomparable vegetable antidote, I ■ which is already the most popular tonic in the world, would everywhere be classed among the staples of life, and no fam- - ily would dare to be without it.' The , time may arrive when this Will be the case, for every year adds thousands to the list of those who use it. I To Consumptives. 1 The advertiser, having been restored to health in a very few weeks by a ven simple remedy, after having suffered for several years with a severe lung affec- ( tion, and that drcaddiseaset’onsnmption —is anxious to make known to his fel1 low-sufferers the means of cure.

Asthma, Rranchitis, Coughs, Colds, and all Throat - and Lung Affections. The only object of ' the Advertiser it sending the Prescription is to benefit the afflicted, and spread information which he conceives to be invaluable. and he hopes everv sufferer will try his remedy, as it will cost them nothing, in I may prove a blessing.
