Blind Bill, a colored inmate of a Georgia poorhouse, has a most remarkable sense of touch. He can tell any one whom he has met by feeling of his hand.

A French widow related the accidental overturning of an omnibus, by which her husband was killed: "A wheel came off. We were sitting outside. With a loud scream we both fell to the ground.

Miss Kate Sleely, of West Point, Ind., set the town talking the other day by publicly thrashing Postmaster Kiser. This done, she went before a Justice, pleaded guilty to an assault, was fined five dollars and costs, and paid it "like a man."

It is estimated that the matter ejected . in the recent volcanic eruption in New Zealand amounts to five billion cubic yards, weighing six billion tons?not quite a cubic mile, but it would take more than the national debt of England to excavate it. It would take a good workingman one million years to shovel it into carts, but it was all done in four hours. ?Of the 225 members of the Forty-ninth Congress, 228 were renominated. Thirtythree Northern and thirty-five Southern Democrats failed of renomination, and so did twenty-five Northern and four Southern Republicans.

If the election of President in 1888 should be thrown into the House of Representatives, the Democrats could not elect their man. They have elected a majority in the delegations from only sixteen States. In the election of a President by the House the Constitution provides that each State shall cast a single vote for the candidate who shall bo the choice of a msgority of the .. representatives from a State. Twenty States, a majority of the thirty-eight, are required to elect a President. A third party movement in 1888 might defeat the Democratic party. ? Francis Bacon, of New Haven, and Prof. A. B. Morrill, of New Britain, are writing a text book on hygiene, which by law must be studied in all the high schools of Connecticut. The book will be ready about January 1. The peculiarity of the work will be'that it will be largely devoted to showing the effect of alcohol on the human system. The Legislature was impressed with the argument that nothing would better inculcate the lessons of temperance than to teach the young what alcohol does to the body, and therefore at the last session the law requiring the use of such a work in the public schools was adopted. ? Mangus, head chief of the Chiricahua Apaches, and thirteen bucks and squaws, f>assed through Kansas City under guard ast Thursday, en route for Fort Marion, Fla. While the party was going through Colorado, Mangus jumped through a car window and ran some distance before he was captured. Then he obtained a knife and stabbed himself in a dozen places, inflicting serious wounds. The next morning he attacked his interpreter, striking the man about the* head with the shackles on his wrist. During the consequent uproar the train started, carrying of all the party except the interpreter, who was left behind, but followed on th*? next train. ? At the recent election Miss Alice J.

Miss Sanborn was the regular nominee of the Democratic and Farmers' Alliance parties. Leave of absence was granted her from the Freeport schools as teacher a few weeks ago, and soon after reaching Dakota she was nominated for the office to which she has now been elected. She was not a stranger there, however, as in March, 188o, she took up a claim on the Rose Creek Indian Reservation in that county, and lived there for some time. She is a graduate of the Wisconsin University in the class of ? 1883. ? Of the total vote in Philadelphia in 1884, the Republicans polled fifty-eight per cent., the Democrats nearly forty-one per cent, and the Prohibitionists about one per cent. This year the Republicans polled a slight fraction over fifty-seven per cent., losing one per cent, (probably) to tne Prohibitionists, and the Democrats polled forty and one-half per cent., losing nearly half of one per cent, (probably) to the Prohibitionists, the gains of the latter raising their share to two and one-half per cent. The relative strength of the Republican, and Democratic parties is almost exactly the same, but of 200 men in 1884 the Republicans had 116 and the Democrats 82, wnile in 1886, of 200 men, the Republicans have 114 and the Democrats 81, the third and fourth parties having the ?. other o. ? A dispatch of Thursday from Eckville, Pa., says : An exciting time was had down at Lambeth's lime kiln, near here, yesterday. A number of farmers knew that there were two men, strangers in the place, operating among the young women of the neighborhood, i'requenting the gatherings of Sunday-schools and ingratiating themselves among the single women, and the farmers determined to drive them out ^ of the neighborhood. The elder of the two?Brother Ettig, as he was called? was seen emerging from Gray's meadow with young Lena Eckleberger, whom he was inducing to join a Mormon colony. Ettig was seized and dragged to the lime sheds and rolled in a bin of white lime dust and then cowhided and again showered with ashes and started on a run through the woods. Basing, the other suspected party, was also seized and ducked in a creek and cowhided and started through the woods in the direction Ettig had taken. It appears that there was a concerted plan, according to which a number of deluded young women should all be ready to s'.art West on a given day to join a Mormon set tlement. At least a dozen young women 1 have had their heads turned by all sorts of promises made by these fellows, and for a ! time it was difficult to secure hired female i help in that region. ! ??i l\u Movhvillf ^aquirct. YORKVILLE, S. . : WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 10,1886. THE GENERAL ELECTION. With the exception of Pennsylvania, in which there was some political excitement, the election of last week was remarkably quiet throughout the Union. In this State very little interest was manifested and the vote was light. Except in the Seventh Congressional district there was no contest. This is the "Black District," heretofore represented by Smalls, colored. He was opposed by Col. William Elliott, who is elected by a small majority, thus giving South Carolina a full Democratic representation in Congress. The general, result, as affecting the two great parties throughout the country, is not yet ascertained, though it is quite certain that the Democratic majority in the House of Representatives will be reduced. Tenitessee elects a Democratic Governor. Carlisle is returned to Congress from Kentucky. In North Carolina th^re is some doubt, conflicting reports being received as to the result for Judges of the Supreme Court and for the Legislature. Both parties are claiming the victory. Abbott, negro, is re-elected to Congress from the Second district. In the triangular contest for Mayor of New York, Hewitt, Democrat, was elected over Roosevelt, Republican, and George, the candidate of the laboring or anarchist ticket. MORMONlSTREVIVING. So stealthily have the Mormon propagandists been at \vork>in this section, that many concluded the apostles had given up the idea of making converts in York county, and folding their tents had stolen silently away. But it seems that those, arriving at this conclusion were mistaken. W. H. Gardner and Parley P. Bingham, two emisaries of the "Church of the Latter Day Saints," are operating in this county in the capacity of elders, and appear to be meeting with some success in the Hickory Grove neighborhood. We learn that recently they have been holding forth in Jhe house of Robert Lanier, near Hickory Grove, and have proposed to establish a branch at that ( house. The last Sunday of last month was ; appointed as the day for consecrating Mr. ' Lanier's house and organizing with a mem- ! bership of six wiio profess conversion to the faith; but word was conveyed to the | converts that some determined men in the neighborhood had resolved to prevent such i proceedings and the elders wisely remained ; away. 1 Our informant, who is one of the converts, says that in the absence of the elders they organized a Sunday-school. He is quite in- 1 dignant at the threats of the "mob" as he i terms the citizens who have given the warn- I ing, and innocently refers to supposed rights conferred by the Constitution of the United ' States. It is true the Constitution permits i the greatest religious tolerance; but it must i be remembered that certain rites of the 1 Mormon faith are repugnant to the Consti- ; tut' >n and laws of the land, and that to-day, . in the United States Courts of justice in Utah, men are being tried, convicted and < sent to the penitentiary for the criminal i practice of polygamy, one of the features of ! 1 the so-called church. True, the elders ope- j rating in York county may not preach this doctrine, but the fact remains that it is a j cardinal principal of the Mormon faith, ] which, as ic is a society in open violation I of the laws of the land, canuot be properly 1 denominated a religion. And again, as ' vindicating this position, Congress has en- j acted laws prohibiting the landing on < American shores of Mormon immigrants, 1 known to be such. '< In view of these facts we deem it our duty 1 to warn persons against the insidious teach- J ings of these strangers. Their mission is \ for no good, however plausible their pre- j t tensions or sincere their professions. We [ t deprecate violence, and trust that the move- ' ments of these strangers in our midst may 1 not lead to any undue excitement of the indignant portion of the community, but . they should remember that in their advoca- j J cy of sentiments at variance with the laws j j of the land, they and their followers place : { themselves outside the pale of martyrdom. ( . Richmond and Danville Freight ! i Rates.?By their recent lease of the Char- ^ lotte, Columbia and Augusta and Columbia ;. and Greenville Road, and the consolidation s of these two roads with their own line, the 1 j Richmond and Danville road has, in the . ^ view of the Railjoad Commission, brought \ themselves under the operation of the sec- t tion of the*railroad law so as to allow no ( greater charges, as is now the case, over the t short haul of the Columbia and Greenville, : N considered as a separate road, than would ; { be allowed over it when considered as a part ; t of a continuous road, such as it has become j j ?fo aKoAontiAn K*r fK*o Rinhmnnfl anrl I - UJ I I/O (11/QUiptlUU HIV AW?VlltA*V**V?

Rock Hill, November 8.?The election on last Tuesday passed off very quietly at this place. A stranger would not have known an eleetiorpwas being held. A number of our town people did not vote. At the Sfeite box there were 137 votes cast. Only 3 colored men voted. At the Congressional box 118 votes were cast, only two colored men voting. As will be seen, the colored people took no interest in the election and the whites very little more. It has been some time since so large a number of people have been seen on our streets as was gathered last Saturday evening. They assembled to see the performance of a man on a tight rope. The street was lined with men, women and children, as was also the windows ana roois 01 me buildings. The rope was stretched across Main street from Roddey's Hall to the Globe Hotel. The exhibition was a creditable one. , There has been a cabbage war going on among our grocery merchants the past week, and on Friday morning prices were reduced to 1 cent per pound for large white head cabbages; but after the earthquake shock prices were shaken up to 2 cents per pound. I saw one head that measured IS inches across. Mr. B. X. Craig showed me the largest onion in York county on Saturday. It weighed 2 pounds and 2 ounces, and measured 18 inches by 15 inches. On last Wednesday night the Presbyterian church at this place was filled with many citizens to witness the marriage of one of our most popular physicians, Dr. John W. Fewell and Mrs. Kate Walker, a charming lady of our town. The ceremony was performed by Rev. W. B. Jennings. There were no attendants. Messrs. R. T. Fewefl, W. M. Steele, John McEhvee and I. E. Watson acted as ushers. After the ceremony the bride and groom, accompanied by a large number of friends, repaired to the residence of Mr. Alex. F. Fewell in Ebenezer, where an elegant supper was served and the happy couple received the congratulations and best wishes of their many Iriends. They certainly have the best wishes of Hal, and as old Rip Van Winkle says, "May they live long and prosper." Rev. P. P. Alston, colored, of the Protestant Episcopal Diocese of North Carolina, preached in the A. M. E. Church at this place on Sunday morning, and again at night. He is the first colored Episcopal minister who has ever officiated in our town. His white robes attracted considerable attention when he entered the pulpit. He is rector of a parish in Charlotte. Mr. W. S. Wilson has been suffering with Eneumonia since Tuesday last. On Friday e was removed from his home, 6 miles from this place, to the residence of his brother W. B. Wilson, Jr., in this place. Mr. Wilson is quite ill, but it is hoped that his condition is not critical. A severe earthquake shock was felt in this place at 12.2o P. M. on Friday. On Sundav there were three distinct shocks felt. A number of our citizens will attend the State Fair at Columbia this week. Mr. A. H. White wili make a large exhibit of seeds. Mr. David Hutchins on and Jno. T. Roddey exhibit horses. Hal. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. LETTER FROM CHESTER. Chester, November 8.?The election on last Tuesday passed off without a ripple of excitement at this place or throughout the eounty. Not even the shadow of a disturbance marred the quietness of the day. An election possibly was never held in this county before or since the war in which less interest was manifested. This was entirely due to the want of opposition to the Democratic candidates. The Democratic party in the county only polled about-one half of its strength. At the first primary election this year about 1,600 votes were cast. At the election on last Tuesday the Democratic vote did not reach 900. About a dozen colored people voted in the county. Even those of the Democratic faith did not vote. It is said they felt aggrieved because they were not allowed the privilege of voting at the Congressional primary election. Mr. John Kirkpatrick, of the western side of this county, lost by an incendiary Q? <? hniioo nr\rt_ lire, it lew LiJg 1113 ngu, cv ^unvu Jiuuou, taining two thousand pounds of seed cotton, f\nd several bushels of wheat and oats. Gteorge Crosby, colored, was arrested last Friday, charged with firing the building. The property destroyed was not covered by insurance. A colored child, four years of age, in this county, was burned to death on last Wednesday from the criminal carelessness of its parents. They left it in the house, went off, and on their return found the child and house consumed by fire. A violent earthquake shock was felt at this place on last Friday at 12.20 P. M. In point of duration it surpassed any shock that has been felt here in a long time. A rumbling sound, which was distinctly aulible, preceded and accompanied the shock. Major Julius Mills, President of the Ches:er, Greenwood and Abbeville Railroad Company, informs me that the corps of surveyors will reach the Savannah River in ibout two weeks, and that the surveyors of ;he line between Chester and Monroe will each the latter place in about one week. The surveyors will survey different lines jack to this place. The President Appears .0 entertain no doubt in regard to obtaining ;he money required to build the road.

Denny put an end to an unhappNC ife by taking an ounce of laudanum, whiah le had procured at the village drug-store/n he afternoon. He was at the residence of Mrs. Joe Crow when the fatal drug did/its lireful work. He had gone there with ibis vife, whom he had over-persuaded to accommny him, telling her that if she did not go ihe would forever regret it. He was sufierng from delirium tremens at the time an(K. mder a shadowy hallucination. He imagned that he was pursued by somebody who hreatened to do him harm. At Mrs. Jrow's they ate supper, just before which he Doctor took the deadly dose. His wife vas not frightened, for she had seen him akeit before, though Mrs. Crow was and >egged him to drink a cup of coffee. "No, ! thank you," he said, "I am to die to light." After supper he took his wife and hey went to a room, where the man knelt ,nd offered a fervent prayer for his wife. Ie kissed her and went to bed. He was ound the next morning dead.

Nothing n his career was more singular than his narriage, which had in it a little of the ronantic, though more that were humiliating o a man of unclouded sense. The woman rho became his wife was not a very repuable character, though he married her out if gratitude for an act of kindness, by which he saved his life. On a certain occasion he found him under the influence of strong Irink and unconscious, lying on the raiload track, and succeeded in getting him ff before the locomotive arrived with sudlen death.

On Saturday a negro girl named Frances Coleman went to the depot to look after a >ox. While there she took offence at somehing, and returning home, half a mile from ho station, reported the matter to her brothers, two young men who at once de- J termined to resent the wounded dignity of their sister. Arming themselves with sticks and knives, they repaired to the depot, and o seeking out Joe Oliver at an opportune time j J< j set upon him, suddenly plunging a knife j *< I into his throat. The negroes then fled, but j ^ I were pursued by JesseOliver and his broth- ; er, the father and uncle of the unfortunate ! j lad. i When the negroes arrived at home their 1 !< mother ran out with a musket, which she i ^ handed to one of her sons, telling him to j yj shoot. He did so, and Jesse Oliver fell 1 from his horse shot through the arm. One ^ of the negroes was killed by the Oliver broth- k ers and the other fled to the woods. The M third negro man, the girl and mother were S* arrested and taken to Shellman on Saturday evening under heavy guard.

If Ci( the generous hearted Christians of this and adjoining States should withdraw their hands, all of these children would speedily lose their opportunity for an education, and t woald leave this quiet, happy country C] home, where they are not only kindly car- s ed for but also taught useful manual arts and given an excellent common school ed- . ucation. ?1] "It is a good thing to give thanks unto bc the Lord."

Fewell, Wm. Ferguson, S. W. Mitchell, A. A. Burris, D. L. Glenn, Henry Cain. J. B. Adkins, J. M. Caldwell, P. B. McAfee, J. W. Lawrence, R. A. Fulp, J. A. Darwin, J. N. McGill, T. B. Ratchford, R. T. Fewell, D. W. Barron, M. L. Sitford, T. N. Thomasson, J. C. Saville, D. J. Boyd, Kliaslnman, A. W. Gladden, G, H. O'Leary, J. W. Sturgis, W. M. Matthews, Jr. L. Carroll, S. L. Miller, Thad. L. Carroll, J. H. Adams, J. R. Jenkins, W. A. Templeton, H. W. Hoft'man. Messrs. Adams, Fulp and Lawrence were excused on their own petitions. The regular docket having been cleared la^ week, the contingent docket was called. The first case on that docket was a prosecution of Dr. John G. Black, brought by the Town Council of Yorkville, in 1884, for unlawfully giving prescriptions for intoxicating liquor. This case has attracted some public interest ever since its inception, and when the defendant's counsel announced their readiness for trial, the attention cf the spectators was at once directed to the proceedings. The State produced three prescriptions, bearing date June 21, 1884, directed to John C. Kuykendal, druggist, each prescription prescribing ane quart of whisky for Mr. John Rattaree. The prescriptions were offered in evidence and identified by Dr. Kuykendal and Mr. J. M. Starr, who was a clerk in Dr. Kuydendal's drug , store at that time. Some witnesses, summoned for the defence, failed to appear, and Dr. Black was examined. He testified as to the circumstances under which ! tie gave the prescriptions. Mr. Rattaree had J been elected a delegate from Rock Hill to the < bounty Convention, which met in Yorkville on | ;he 21st of June. A day or two before the meeting of the convention, Mr. Rattaree's team that be was driving ran away and he was seriously J hurt. This circumstance had been stated to the Doctor by some citizens of Rock Hill; "but," 1 said one of them, "Iiattarce says he will attend ' ho Convention if he has to be hauled here in ] i wagon." During the conversation, Mr. Rataree drove up. The Doctor went up to his ( juggy and after the compliments of the morning, i VIr. Rattaree spoke of the accident with which 1 le had met, complained of intense pain, and J hought a stimulant would relieve him. The ( Doctor was of the same opinion, and proposed o give him a prescription for a pint of whisky. Mr. Rattaree insisted that the prescripion should be for a quart. After some hesita- ? Irn if fnr fhat. * 1UI1 LUU JJUCtUl CUlJOClltcu I.VT ?V. iiiantity, which he did. Later in the day Mr. lattaree came to him and told him that after Irinking somo of the whisky he placed it belind a door in a passage leading to the hall in a vhich the Convention was held, and his friends ir some one having seen him put it there, ho upposed, had drank it up. He wished anoth- r prescription, which witness said he was loth o give, and not until after considerable pertiasion did he give it. Late in the afternoon, trhen Mr. Rattaree was about starting for home, ie asked witness for another prescription for a ,j uart. He also produced the bottle containing he second prescription to show that it had not ? ieen drank up, and gave his reason for wishtig a third quart that he would arrive home f! ate, and in case ho should wish or need any j whisky, ho desired to take some with him. 9 Jnder this representaton witness gave the third *9 inscription. Witness testified further that as ^ practicing physician he is opposed to prescrib- tig alcoholic stimulants, and does not think he as made a hundred prescriptions for liquor in constant practice of nineteen years. He fur- her said that as proprietor of a drug store, he oes not sell it in any form, nor permit it to bo : rank in his place of business, lie is opposed 3 the use of liquor, and only under certain ircumstances does he prescribe it. As an anoyne, am^oopecially in Mr. Rattaree's case, it c as preferable to opium or any preparation from v iat drug. Ho gave the prescriptions in good l h faith, as a physician, ami not for the liquor to be used as a beverage. Mr. Rattaree took the witness stand. As to Dr. Black's statements of representations made by him to the Doctor, he coroborated them entirely, and further said that as to the third bottle he took it home and never drank a drop from it; but some months afterwards gave it away?he having entirely quit the use of liquor soon after the date of the purchase of those three quarts. The case was argued by James F. Hart and W. B. Wilson, Sen., for the defence, each of whom made an exposition of the Statutes and the various bungling Acts of the Legislature as they apply to the sale of ardent spirits in this State. They insisted upon the same construction as given by Judge Cothran in the Chester case. Mr. Solicitor McDonald presented the side of the State, arguing the negative of Judge Cothran's interpretation. id is Honor instructed tne jury, However, tnat he did not think the bearing one upon the other of the different Sections of the Statutes regulating the sale of liquor in this State, need be considered in this case, but in arriving at a verdict they should determine, from the evidence, whether or not Dr. Black gave the prescriptions in good faith as a prescribing physician. The jury returned a verdict of acquittal. Dr. Black's statement of his connection with these prescriptions, and the evident fact therefrom that he was acting only in good faith as a physician, was gratifying to his friends, and convincing to all who heard the testimony; and as "all is well that ends well," Mr. Bataree's friends were no less gratified to hear him declare on the witness-stand that he has put away the "unclean thing.'' A few other cases, on the Contingent docket, in which defendants have absconded and cannot be found, were continued. Sheriff Glenn, with his deputies, now entered the court-room with the culprits awaiting the sertences of the Court. As his honor truly remarked on surveying them after they had taken their seats, they presented a pitiable sight, but one we are happy to say, not often seen in a York Court of justice. There were three white women, one negro woman, two white men and fourteen negro men, a majority of the latter young, stout, able bodied men, all convicted of erime at one session of the Court. His Honor pronounced the following sentences : Meek Barnett, colored; assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, and carrying a concealed weapon?one year in the penitentiary. Wesley Smith, colored; larceny from the field?one year in the penitentiary. Albert Robinson, colored; burglary?two years in the penitentiary. John Miller and Edward Hardin, colored; larceny of live stock?each one year in the penitentiary. George Partlow and Grant McCollnm, colored ; grand larceny?George Partlow three years in the penitentiary; Grant McCollum two years in the penitentiary. William Norton, colored, and Ellen Dover, white, fornication; George Wilson, colored, and Adeline Elmore, white, fornication ; Jack Hambright, colored, and Louise Dover, white; fornication?sentence of each to pay a fine of ?100 or be imprisoned in the penitentiary for the term of one year. Alexander B. Rutledge, white ; breaking into a car of the C., C. <fc A. Railroad at Rock Hill. Drs. J. F. Lindsay and W. G. White, appointed by the Court to examine this prisoner as to the ** soundness of his mind, certified that after making duo examination they believed him to be * insane ; whereupon, on motion of the Solicitor, the Court passed an order commiting him to the lunatic asylum. Lizzie While, colored; petit larceny?to pay cost of prosecution, or thirty days in the county jail. James Barrett, white; grand larceny. This defendant pleaded guilty. It seems that only a week or two ago he presented himself at the house of Mr. A. L. Wallace, representing himself as a relative from the State of Illinois. His story as to his professed relationship seemed plausible, and Mr. Wallace welcomed him as the son of a deceased kinsman. At the first opportunity the tramp, as he afterterwards proved to be, stole ?38.60 in cash and departed, but was ovortaken. He will now enjoy the hospitality of the State for the term of three years, with his permanent residence at the Capital. Wm. Casey, colored; gambling?fine of $20, or imprisonment in the county jail two months. Peter Crockett, colored; carrying a concealed weapon. This defendant pleaded that on the occasion of firing his pistol he did so merely for fun and to frighten some persons whom he thought were colored; but they happened to be white men and didn't scare worth a cent. For his attempt at practical joking he will pay a fine of ?25 and costs of the prosecution, or go to the penitentiary for the term of six months. Joseph Gwin and Dayid Davis, colored ; larceny of live stock?Joseph Gwin to the penitentiary one year, and David Davis one year and six months. The Court, then, on motion of the Solicitor, passed the orders in course, and special orders, and the Court of Sessions was adjourned, and the Court of Common Pleas opened. The Court of Common Pleas will probably adjourn to-day. GRAND JURY'S REPORT. The following is the report of the grand jury, presented in the Court of Sessions last Thursday, after which the jury was discharged: To His Honor A. P. Aldrich, Presiding Judge: In making this our final report, we make the following recommendations: That the county commissioners be required to * have made, or to purchase furniture for the papers to be properly filed and secured in the office. We also recommend the county commissioners to have the building used for their office to be covered with' sheet iron, said work to be done by contract, and to the lowest bidder. Wo have examined the poor house and find the expenses of the farm and the maintenance of the fourteen paupers amount to 3491.19?much less than in former years. A comparative statement of annual expenditures we have not been able to approximate, from the manner in which the books are kept? the county expenses of all kinds being charged together, and'paid as orders. We recommend * that the county commissioners be authorized and required to keep separate a book for expenditures for the poor. The produce of the farm the present year will make the farm and paupers self supporting, and for this unusual condition of management of the poor house and farm, the economy shown in the expenses and skill in 'he operations connected therewith, we cannot close this subject without the thanks of the county to Mr. James Dillingham, the superintendent*. We find the indebtedness of the county for the fiscal year ending 188d to be about fifteen thousand dollars. The two-and-a-half-mill levy will raise thirteen thousand nine hundred and fifty.ir.ii.jru whinli will leave an outstanding 3ebt of about ?1,042. To meet this deficiency ind pay the expenses of the incoming year, will require the county tax to be at least three mills. We would again renew a former recommenlation to the county commissioners as to granting monthly compensation to the outside paupers, not to receive such without a full investigation of the means of support of all applicants; hat the sons be considered competent to support heir aged parents. ?

The committee to examine the remaining rounty offices, viz.: the Judge of Probate, the School Commissioner and the Sheriffs, report hat they have discharged that duty and find the ecords" correct and papers properly filed, and oinmend thes^as well as the other public of icials for their ffiiciency and fidelity in the disharge of their various duties.
