Is It Truer Is it true ttiat newspaper subscribers are less worthy of crodit than other peo ple? We think not; and if not, do the publishers who closo their books to the reading public until the " advance ” is mado, thereby strengthen their claims upon a self-respecting community for patronage? We do not act upon any such idea. Personal, We aroglad to see Mr. J. C. Cheney on the streets. He has entirely recovered from his accidental wound, and looks as well as ever. Capt.

Alderman Nuckolls introduced the fol lowing resolution: Be it ordained by the Mayor and Coun cil of the city of Columbus that section Ist of an ordinance, prescribing the duties of Marshal adopted April 3d, 1876, as fol lows : "all ordinances and rules vesting authority or control over the police force in tho Marshal, are hereby repealed and the same Is hereby repealed.” Be it further ordained, That so much of section Ist of an ordinance in relation to the police adopted April 3d, 1876, as re quiring the oleetion of "one Captain or Chief of police.” be and the samo Is hereby repealed. The rules were suspended, and the reso lution adopted. Alderman Nuckollssug guested that the negative had not been put. The chair put the negative and Al derman Nuckolls’ resolution was still unanimously adopted. A petition of several citizens asking that everybody be taxed who do a ped dling business, and that the law bo en forced wus received nnd referred. The Clerk submitted a copy of what would be the form of an advertisement for all bids. Tho draft made by the clerk was ac cepted. Alderman Coleman made a very pertinent objection that th@ horse of the Marshal should not be included, but Council overruled him, and tho bid must be for city mules and the Marshal's horse. TAX ASSESSORS. Aid. McGehee introduced a resolution that the assessors be allowed $75 for tho work. Mayor Brannon said he was in favor of McGehee’s resolution. Aid. Coleman objected. Tho ayes and noes were called, and tho vote stood 6 to 6. Mayor Brannon voted nay, by which the resolution was lost. Aid. McGehee ini reduced the following resolution: Resolved, That the Clerk be instructed to publish during the approaching holi days the standing ordinance in relation to tire-works. Adopted. Aid. Manley offered a resolution that the 14th rule of Council be rescinded and su perseded by the following: "That any contract let out by the city or Its authorities, in which any member of this Board may bo interested, shall not be voted on by said member.” Aldermnn Nuckolls objected, and moved that the 14th rule be re-instated. (The ordinance prohibits any Alderman from taking or having nny interest in a city contract.) Alderman Manley differed, and thought it ought not to be re-instated, and not suggest that any of our members would be guilty of a fraud. Alderman Coleman said he did not pro pose to adopt Alderman Nuckolls’propo sition “you tickle me and 1 tickle you." I propose when I scratch openly and squarely, and not to tickle anybody, not even tho gentleman. He deprecated that Alderman Nuckolls should introduce tho New York Board of Aldermen as a sample, for they had the reputation of re tiring each year rich. Alderman Nuckoils regretted his views were not fully understood. He saw no harm in the resolution. Alderman Manley moved the matter be postponed—lost. Alderman Coleman’s resolution, that no member who is directly or indirectly in terested in a contract bn allowed to vote upon it, was adopted in the place of rule 14. Yeas, 8; none, 4. Tho resolution was adopted. ELECTION OF CLERK OF MARKET ASP MAG AZINE KEEFER. Some discussion arose in regard to the rights of butchers. Tho Mayor said he would turn out any clerk who they made Just complaint against, and then there would be another election. * Alderman Andrews nominated Win. Ma httlley. Alderman Coleman nominated Mr. Thomas Moore. The vote stood: Moore. 11; Mahaffey, 2 Mr. Moore was elected. STREET COMMITTEE. Alderman Coleman reported what work had been done. It was resolved that the Street Commit tee be authorized to feed the mules until the contract is awarded to feed them. Alderman McGehee moved that the ordinance in relation to tiro works, and the bid for contracts be published in both papers—adopted. Alderman Brannon asked leave to bond parties he was forced to Imprison to the jail where it was more comfortable, rather than keep them in the guard house. Christmas! Christmas]!

If that old lady who had heard he was going to give folks the and —I, had been present, no doubt some of those dealt with would have sustained her In her belief. A gentleman was lined seven dollars and a half for shooting at a dog on Ran dolph street. Dennis Jones was lined two dollars and a half for throwings basket of trash In the street. John McCubbins was ordered to the guard-house for being drunk and disor derly. Jack Ligon was ordered arrested and pl&oed In jail for disorderly conduct John Fell, for disorderly conduct, was fined seven dollars and a half. Wash Granberry, for being drunk, was placed In the guard-house to remain until the first of January. Christina* Koud*. In the darkest days of the past tho peo ple of Columbus never failed to have eoroe sort of a “good time” Christmas; and our merchants, counting on the well-known habits of our people, have, In the face of tho threatening aspect of public affairs, laid in large supplies of Christmas goods. Country and city buyers who prefer to make their selections from unbroken stocks are already availing themselves of tho opportunities offered In tho full lines now on exhibition. The columns of the Daily Times will furnish purchasers Information as to the places where they may obiain, on the best terms, all tho novelties of the season, as well as the most desirable goods for Christ mas presents and Christmas cheer. In a few days we shall publish a descriptive list of the dealers In holiday goods. Wholesale Counterfeiting. The Investigations of the secret service division of the Treasury Department have developed the singular fact that every de nomination of national bank currency has, during the existence of the national banking laws, been counterfeited. Home of tho national bank note plates have been counterfeited us many as thirty times, and many of them twenty times. Also, that during the whole of that time the United States greenback currency has only been twice counterfeited. The only counterfeits that have been developed upon the greenbacks wero of tho SSO and SSOO plates, and they were so poorly exe cuted that they wore detected almost as soon as they uppeared, and the Issue was at once called In by the Treasurer and new plates of different designs wero en graved In their place. The commentary upon these facts is this: That the Uni ted States greenback plates were en graved in the Bureau of Engraving and Frintlug, and alt the national bank note plates by the different bank-note compa nies. The superiority of the work done under the oyes of the chiefs of the Bureau of Engraving and Feinting has always proved too difficult and too costly for the makers of spurious money to successfully imitate. A Tremendous Bug story. On Wednesday morning last, says the Grayville (111) Independent, a (Tve-year-uld child of Frunk Dunbar, living four miles south of Grayville, was sitting before the tiro eating nuts. Tho parents seem to have been sway, and only one or two other little children present. By some means the child’s clothes caught tire, and in a moment she was enveloped in flames. The house dog, a common cur, sprang on tho child, threw her down and actually stripped off tile burning clothing, burning himself severely. By the time the parents arrived the noble dog hud saved the child’s life, he being worst burned of the the two. I)r. Miiiron, who was called in, gives us this information. AT KIUVF.N’M.

The following is an extract from a description, published in the New York Tribune, by the wsl known agriculturist, Solon Robinson: All the farmers were of the “Well to do” sort, and some of them, who have turned their attention to fruits and market gardening, have grown rich. The soil is loam, varying from sandy to clayey, and surface gently undulating, intersected with small streams and occasional wet meadows, iu which deposits ol peat or muck are stored, sufficient to fertilize the whole upland surface, after it has been exhausted of its natural fertility. It is certainly one of the most extensive fertile tracts, in an almost level position, and suitable condition for pleasant tanning, that we know of this side of the Western prairies. We found some of the oldest tanns apparentl> just as profitably productive as when first cleared of forest fifty or a hundred years ago. The geologist would soon discover the cause of this continued fertility. The whole country is a marine deposit, and all through the soil we found evidences of calcareous substances, generally in the form of indurated calcareous tnarl. showing many distinct forms of ancient shells, of the tertia ry formation ; and this marly substance is scattered all through the soil, in a very comminuted form, and in the exact condition most easily assimilated by such plants as the farmer desires to cultivate.
