writer had looked into tho State Gazotte'of July 2d 1853 ho
would probably not havo .written his piece for tho American.
Ihc etatemont there published of tho gounty finances shows
what has been done with tho taxes of 1852: this fund 'lias lumi
used and wisely so I think in repairing tho county jail and
in paying off tho old debts of the county some of which have
been standing for many years due to poor men who have done
faithful service to the county and who havo waited a long
while for their pay. This I consider a iust and wise nnnra-
priation of tho money. Tlio county should always bo just be-
fore she is proud. Jt is. hardly necessary I presume to in-
form so smart a man as the writer of "Progress" evidently is
that the taxes for 1853 are not yet due. '
id is true persons have frequently escaped from our jail
but no one could be expected to remain long in any prison if
furnished with the necessary tools to work his way out. Our
jail-is a safe one if there were not as great scoundrels-out of it
as those within against whose tricks' the vigilance qfySheriffa
and the strength of prisons seem to bo no safeguard. " -

- The Printer .
J. T. Buckingham in his '" lieininiscences" inthe course of
publication in the Boston Courier speaks'of the importance of
printers to authors as follows : ' '
"irtlany who condescend to illumine the dark-world with
the fire of their genius through the columns of a newspaper
little think Of the lot of the printer who almost .suffocated by
the sindlce of a lamp sits up until midnight to" correct their
false grammar bad orthography' and worse punctuation. I
havo seen the argument of lawyers in high repute as scholars
sent to the printeivin theirwmluaud-wj-jting with many words
and especially tocl'inicaltui'd foreigntertns abbreviated words
mis-spelled and few or no po'ints. v
" I have seen the sermons of divines sent to the printer with-
out points or capitals to designate th6 divisions of sentences
sermons which if published with the imperfections of tho inani
uscript would disgrace the printer's devjl if ho were the author
Suppose t'uey had beep printed ; tho printer would havo bpcn'
treated with scorn and'epntampt as an illiterate 'blockhead 5 as
a fellow .better fitted to be a woodeawyor than a professor of
the art of printing.
"Nobody would believe that such gross aud'palpable faults
were owing to the ignorance and caralessness of tho. author
And nobody but the .practical printer knows how many hours
the conmorfttmund after him the nroofrronder are compelled to
spend in reduemg.tp a readable condition Manuscripts that

After a careful study of tho question I have Come 'to' U10
conclusion that if the routes b'O practicable two roads musFatj

St. Lawrence. I have no doubt as 6 tho practicability of th
southern line and I trust no delay will occlirjin c6mmoncihg
