Court Room, Main Floor and Basement of Court House Busy.

There is a great deal doing at the court house today. Court ip going on in the west court room, the grand jury is -in session in the grand jury room, investigating bridges, bridge contractors, and bridge contracts. On the main floor the commissioners are in session, and the treasurer’s office is swarmed with people who put off settling their taxes until the last day, which seems to have included a great many as they were lined up four and five deep shortly after noon. In the basement County Superintendent Lamson is receiving the board of education, and most of the trustees are bringing their school enumerations. There seems to be a shortage of children of school age in almost every township and town. Rensselaer shows 620 as against 649 last year; Remington shows 257 to 262 last year. Wheatfield shows an increase from 108 to 117.
