Kirkpatrick and Joe Hill of Burr Oak Township were town on Monday last and called at the Bulletin office.

It looks like old times to see our friends dropping in. We have been in most all of the county towns in Kansas and in none have we seen a deeper retail store, than that of Cy Leland, in Troy one hundred and forty feet deep, all in one room. Our old friend and Companion, Leander Hills, of Highland, was in the city the past week. He is looking as, hearty as when we first met him although he is over seventy-five ysars old.

Our neighbor, Frank Kolcsh in Troy has the neatest vineyard of its size we have seen anywhere. It looks like every viue was attended to with as much taste as a young lady would exhibit in dressing her bair for a ball room and then Frank usually is the first in market with ripe grapes. Our subscription list has increased beyond our expectation the past week: we are thankful for it. We have been too busy to get out of Troy. In the future we will visit all the towns of the county and try and pick np items and business, but at all times we will feel thankful for news items.

The deceased had been failing in health forseveral first she was troubled with something like bronchial affection, which finally affected her lungs and death followed. The bereaved husband and family have the sympathy and condolence of a very large circle of friends and acquaintances, in their affliction. The past week we have had a good run of job work, all we could do, and we only desire to say to the reader that we have a good job office and we are prepared to do good work at reasonable priacs. If any one wants to come to get prices for the purpose of trying to get somebody else to do their work cheaper, we say to them the BcxijEtin office is bt the pew you want to get into.

We want work, yet we want to live and let liye, and a man is no fighting friend of anybody who wants work done for nothing. C. W. Johnson, F.sq., of Atchison, was attending court this week. Mr.

Johnson is not only a good lawyer but is also one of the best chemists Rnd entomologists in Northern Kansas. Ue has given the grasshopper question considerable thought and study, and has gone upon the record with bis opinion. The young pest3 that have been hatched out thus far, were hatched out during the warm spell in Feb-iaary, and that the following cold weather has destroyed them He is of the opinion that the eggs remaining unhatched, being defected in the first place, have been so affected by the cold and damp weather, as to be unproductive. Mr. Johnson is authority, and his opinion upon this subject is certainly encouraging.

From many of our exchanges we learn tbat the prospects for a poor grasshopper crop is very flattering. In many localities the farmers have got oyer their scare entirely and are spreading themselves to put in laige cops. If the war of Europe continues, soon the farmers of Kansas will be out oa dabt, and have more of the filthy lucre than you can "shake a stick at."

H. Mots. Pastor. The Tax Cane. The following report Was handed us by one of the attorneys of Troy, as the decision of Judge Otis in the case of the A.

Railroad Co against T. J. Vanderslice and others "The Conrt decides in this case, in addition to whit I decided in March, as to the limit? cf the of Troy and the school district tax That, 1st. The Bail-road track is Estate; and 2d, as tbe result of that, that tbe assessor had the right to assess the Railroad, and not the Railroad to Sx the value; and although in this case, I think tha assessment was too high, yet, under the Statute and a decision iu the j6th Kansas reports, I can't say it wa too high nor disturb the case at Bar. I vry innch doubt my jurisdiction to do so; and under the showing made before me, and under the circumstances of the case, I will not.

As to the personal property tax, I strike off the excess over the amouut given in by the Railroad; for under the Statute, it had the right to fix the amount, and the assessor had no right to change it; aud as to the excess of 10 per cent, added by the State Board of Equalization, I strike off, as in my opinion, it was illegally added." This decision is in favor of the county, it declaring the bulk of the tax legal, the collection of which has been enjoined though the amount is reduced a little. The decision compels the Railroad to pay about $3,000 more than they paid on the order of Judge Hubbard, made at Seneca, as a condition to granting the in junction. Real Estate Transfer.
