We quote from Hie books: Aggregate value $2,717,041 29cents, a mount after deduction $2,535,902 70 cents, amount of professions, polls, &e. $375 50 cents, difanlt polls js>9 50 cents, ill fault property, $13,153 50 cents.

We cannot concur with flic Grand Jury of la-1 week, in recommending un act for tin* assessment ot a tax for paying the Grand and Pcltv Jurors o’ this county, believing it would be imrlliensomc to tlm people ol this county lo increase their taxes. W liile wo heartily concur in the opinion ofthe Judge on the subj :ct of education, we respectfully recommend lo Hie Senators ami Reprcscnt'itives of the next Legislature to change Hie mode ol raising inouey fur Hut purpose, by authorizing the Stole to assess the tax so as lo 111 ike it equal upon aill Hie tax payers of Hie Stale.

We rceo nincml to (lie notice of the people ofthe county, the late law in respect to elections for the dillerent county officers, Governor, &c. an l lurih'-r believe it to be our duly to exonerate the Clerk of live Superior Court from all censure in failing to lav the notice required of him hv law, before this body at the time required, for the rejs n that we believe that lie was wholly ignorant ol tlie rtqui.ed duty, as the Journal containing the act was but recently received by Hie Clerk.

MANY years of trial, instead of impairing the public confidence in this inedieim, lies won for it an appreciation and notoriety by far ex ceeding the most sanguine expcclationsofits friends Nothing but its intrinsic virtues and the unmistak able benefit conferred on thousands of sufferers, could originate and maintain the reputation it en joys. While tnanv inferior remedies thrust upon the community, have failed and been discarded, this has gained friends by every trial, conferred benefits on 1 lie afflicted they can never forget, and produced cures 100 numerous and too remarkable to-be furgotton. While it is a fraud on the public to pretend that any one medicine will inlalliblv cure—still there is abundant proof that the Cherry Pectoral does not only as a general thing, but almost in variably cure the maladies for which it is employed. As time makes these facts wider and hitter Known, Ibis medicine lias gradually become the best reliance of the afflicted, from the log-cahin of the American Peasant, to Hie palaces of European Kings Throughout this entire country, in every State, city r and indeed almost every hamlet it con tains, Cherry Pectoral is known as the best remedy extant for diseases of the Throat a-nd Longs, and in many foreign countries, it is coming to be extensive ly used by their most intelligent Physicians. In Great Britain, France and Germ my, where the medical sciences have reached their Ing-liei-l perfec tion, Cherry Pectoral is introduced, and in constant use in the Armies, Hospitals, Alms-Houses, Public Institutions, ad in domestic practice, as ihe surest remedy then attending Physicians can employ for the mure dangerous affections of the Lungs. Al so in milder cases, and for children it is safe, pleas ant and effectual to cure. In fact, some or the most fluttering testimonials we receive have been from parents who have (bund it efficacious incases particularly incidental to childhood. The Cherry Pedotal is manufactured by a prnc-’ tieal Chemist, and every ounce of it under his own eye, with invariable accuracy and care. It is seal ed ami protected by law t'rom counterfeits, conse quently can he relied on as genuine withuot adul teration. We have endeavored hcre'lo furnish the commu mty with a medicine of sueh intrinsic’ superiority and worth as should commend itsell to tHHr confi dence —a remedy a! once safe, speedy and effectual, which this has by icpeated and countless trials proved ilsilflo be; and trust by great earn in pre paring it with chemical accuracy, of unilorm strengtlvUvnffbrd Physicians anew agent on which they cun rely for the best results, and the afflicted with n remedy that will do for them all that medi cine can do.
