Just at the point when the speaker is saying something you want to hear a responsive barking is sure to begin. Someone in a remote corner tunes their larynx and it passes down 3very aisle and is taken up and passed m by a thousand throats. By a little physical exertion and malice afore thought much annoyance and vexa tion of spirit would be avoided if the audience would omit this part of the vocal program until it got out side; it is something every lover of an orderly house hopes the plowshare of reform will speedily take hold of. , The county board continues in ses sion "as a committee of the whole with O. F. Biglin in the chair.” The work of checking up the officers is long and ardorous and the members of the board as wqll as the officers whose records. are being experted will feel a relief when it is over. The board has been in session since mid January and their work is nearing a close.

There are already many of these gamey fish in Eagle creek but the supply is not adequate to the demand. The Frontier is becoming somewhat cramped for room wherewith to dis pense the news.
