Our Honor Roll.

It uis been published iri several papers and has bedbme to be the general belief that the law regulating the taxing of dogs was changed by the last legislature. It is true that a bill was introduced which, if it had become a law. would have greatly increased the tax on dogs. It, however, failed, and the same law that governed the tax on curs last year is still in effect. —Attica Democrat.

War has been in the air at Monticetto this week. Monday. Bro. Bwttirock, editor of the Democrat, soundly threshed Walter Hartman, a politician of that place. The ill-feeling was started during the campaign last fall, when the split in the Democratic party at that town took place. Later in the day, Bro. Roth rock was in a saloon and got into an altercation with Pete Pox, the bartender. A fight ensued, and Rothrock was so badly used up that he has been under the care of a doctor ever since.

The Rensselaer correspondent of the Morocco Courier says: “Dan Stoner one day last week so far recovered from the grip that he cleaned out his stable. By the way. the stable has not been cleaned out for a year. The. change frightened his two bronchos and they tarried at threshold. In this way they kept Mr. Stoner in the cold for about two hours. This exposure after so short a recovery in some cases would prove fatal, but nevertheless we glory in his grit. He will undoubtedly after this let them dig their own way into the stable. If this does not prove satisfactory to them they can enjoy the fresh air.

While in Brookston last Saturday we conversed with a number of gentleman about the canning factory at that place and concluded that it was not only a paying institution for the company owning it but a grand thing for the town and adjacent country. At a certain season of the year it gives employment to about one hundred and twentyfive persons and affords a market tor a large amount of tomatoes /nd sweet corn. We were informed that tomatoes well cultivated and properly handled would yield about SIOO per acre and the raising of sweet corn was a great source of revenue. In one day, including a portion of the night, 33,000 cans were turned out. —Fowler Review’
