The recommendation of Goev. Scott
to lessen the salaries of County ofi

Columbia, and attention is being par
tioularly attracted to the extravagant
profits of the County Treasurers, who
recive over twic as much pay as t1he
County Auditors, and~ do far less

There isnothing mean about farm

no such sore and sour thingo to deal

Those miserahle characteos are in

good man. He has loss temlp!tation to
be a bad maun than any charactor we
know of. Ali his work is ennobling.
His cemtact is with Nature. IIis

We hope so with all our hoart.
Let the future of Democratic legisla

the House who have arrived here,
says the Washington correspondent
of the N. Y. Times, thus far, are de

A new keg, churn, bucket, or other

thing that is iut, into it. To prevent
this inconvenience, scald the vesfel
well with boiling water, letting the
water remain in it until cold ; then
dissolve some pearl--ash or soda in
luke-warm water, adding a little lime
to it ; wash the inside of the vessel
well with this solution. A fterwar-ds
