Their Worlc Finished Last Saturday.   A Nol?y
Session but no  Blood Spilled.
The county legislators havo taken a recess until Dec. 30th. The pay stops, by
law, af tt r a two weeks session, so tho
board finished Saturday. The new chairman filled the position to tbe satisfaction
ofthp members. The work moved off
without many hitches, though oratory
was indulged in by severel when u expense bill ot Prosecuting Attornev
(juirin'e came up, The bill was hustled
through, however, notwithst-nding.- ._=■&
former resolution to the offeet that the
prc-seouting attorn*:}* sbou'd pay his own
expi rises .n the county. Sup*rv'sors,
Comer, Davis, Kiryan, Montuey, Toman
and Vap-bi'uschotPn opposed its llow-
anoe. Tho old indebtedness to tbo statu
was apportioned to Haimton and Arthur,
the first namod township having SJ2,t7'2.
72 of it to pay, ancl Arthur &4<H,34. The
Courier has bot'n informed by on<3 -who
claims to know, that the amount, apportioned to Hamilton should have been as-
s.ssed .urumst Sheridan, us tho fir.it
named townsmp w.,s not mixed up in tho
trouble. Be" that (s it may, the taxpayers of these townships will havo reason
to growl when they meet the collector
next wintt r.
The total assessed valuation ot too
county was $1,247,217, and as equalizi d
it stands at Sl.034.459, a net reduction o.
8212,758, though this city was raised
S2;>,963,
Tho tax levy for the coming year was
810,000 for contingent fund, $2,500 for
poor luuj and ono-tentb of one mill for
the soldiers' and railors relief fund. Four
hundred dollars wis voted to Hamilton
to aid in building a bridge across the Cedar river; Winterfleld received a §250 donation to her bridge fund, and this city
can draw on tbo county treasurer for §200
when tbe new bridge is erected aoroBS
the Little Tobacco.
Sheriff Browu hasalways worked the
prisoners '»n tho county grounds and the
board thought it best tor him to use his
own judgement with regard to the labor
of prisoners in the future.
Nothing was heard of the proj-os. d consolidation of the clerk's and legister's
office, but it is very probubld that th"
salaries will be materially shaved whin
the proper time comes, if the machine
don't take the field against the advocates
of reduced salaries when th-y ask theit

little time talking with the auditor gen

the county. Near the close of the session of tha board one of the generous
hearted lepublicai s w uled to give him

a sop for his rec. nt def *at for the chairmanship. Be it to the credit of Dr.

some investigations and ordered tbt-

miles, respectively' from, the county seat

A Farewell Visit.
Among the keenest pleasures of this
life is tho priyilego of extending to a
friend an expression of your appreciation
of tbutr friendship in a manner that will
give that friend a satisfactory consciousness of your sincerity. The recipient of
the expression may believe himself
unworthy qf puch evidences pf esteem,
but to tho,givo,r, out of su h u feeling of
unwortWness, springs that unalloyed joy
and supremo pleasure.
After twelve years of continuous rosi-
denc» in   Olare,  Mr,   and  Mrs, M.   P.
■GhriH.bc-liiiii.'Mvill frill taka up their resi-
deneoin Sii-inuw, and Mr. Chamberlain
advanced faim a branch to a main line
run as locomotive engineer.   Dnriug the
years of their residence here both Mr. 0.
.*nd Ins t'stimable wifo and family have
endoare.d th'-mselvc s to an extended cir*
do of friends^ ivho regret their departure
exo''edib.:;ly,''bnt fc-li, it would be a most
tileasiint tirivilego to bid theni farewell at
their own hoW-.   Accordingly, on Tuesday ovi ninr^jibout, 75 friends and neighbors assembled at  their   pleasant  residence on Fifth street while Mr. and Mrs.-
Cli'mberluiri wore   absent  attending   a
meeting  of *' tho  Beading  Circle at the
Oongregiytifmal church.   Tho   necessary
c'*airs, tub Xs,   dishes   and  edibles  hi:d
been proyj^ed, nnd by the time of their
reMirn,   evpryono   wss   enjoying   themselves and' tho supper     ell under way,
being in charge of a  committee of ladies.
The evening was pleasantly passed  and
at 11 o'clock the company was invited to
the dining room to discuss a  most   deli-
ciously prepared oyster supper, to which
ample justice was done.   At its close D.
E. Alward arose?, announcing the receipt
of several telegrams of regret frim -Saginaw and Clio, who were detained at homo
for various reasons.   Mr. Alward was at
his best,  ancl  in  a  most delicate and
polished i^ahner changed the subject of
his   remarks  from   the telegrams to the
ties  of friendship  which had  so long
bound the host and his fam ly to the  as-,
semblcd guests, and in  closing he  presented to Mr. and Mrs. Chamberlain, on
behalf of the company, a handsome mau-
tfo  clock,   The  recipients  were visibly
affected and for some timo were  unable
to   speak,  but  that  heartfelt gratitude
which wdircTs will not express, was ther^,
and the givers were amply repaid.
Soon after miduight the "good night"
•was said &ni the guests departed.
The GqjmiEE uiiitea with their many
ffit'.ads • in -wisitirg' thsm a happy and
prosperous life in their new home.

MASON & BOYD, THE LEADERS-
Setiously  Injured.
Chas. Goodenow, the drayman, seems
to be a victim of continued misfortunes
He has been afflicted with rheumatism
mow or less for some years. Some years
ago he sustained severe injuries to his
leg which laid him up for sometime,
During the past summer he has twice
been obliged to.lay by his labors because
of slight injuries. Wednesday morning
his latest misfortune befell him, and he
pronouced it the worst in bis experience,
and attending physicians are of the same
opinion. He was sitting on the seat of
his dray, and attempted to drive into
Dan Grouse's blacksmith shop. The c"oor
casing caught him as the wheels raised
up to the floor and before the team could
be stopped he was doubled up in a space
of scarcely fifteen inches. Ho fell from
the wagon and was carried to the Central hotel and medical aid was summoned. His injuries are to the spine,
and though not necessarily fatal, will
confine him to his bed for sometime.
Mr. Goodenow has a large family
and his wife if. in pooi health, in fact be
ing under medical care at the time of his
injury. Mr. Goodenough is- a hard
"working, respected citizen, and is entitled to a largo share of public sympathy.
Tho healing properties of DeWitt's
Witoh Hazel Salve aVe well known. It
cures eczema, skin effeotions and is simply a perfect remedy for piles. Witherspoon. ",
