Proceedings of the Fulton County Board of Supervisors Since Our Last Report.
Thursday, Nov. 15.

  The board reconvened at the Supervisors rooms with Mr. Brown in the chair. All the members were present except Stewart and Pierce.
  The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved.
  A petition signed by Daniel Stewart and Talmadge L. Parsons, as assessors, was offered by Mr. Van Heusen, asking that George W. Hildreth, who was assessed $500 too much be refunded the difference.
  On motion of Mr. Van Arnam, the prayer of the petitioners was granted.
  A petition from Martin J. Hayes, who is assessed for certain property, was offered by Mr. Van Arnam, asking that the assessment be stricken from the assessment roll, he being a pensioner of the United States, and that money received for said pension was used in repairing said property. The matter was referred to the Judiciary Committee.
  Another petition from George J. Ferguson, who is assessed for certain property, was offered by Mr. Van Arnam, asking that the assessment be stricken from the assessment roll, as he is a pensioner of the United States, and that money received for pension was used in purchasing said property. This was also referred to the Judiciary Committee.
  Mr. Van Heusen offered a petition from Hugh Christie, a former Justice of the Peace of the town of Johnstown, appealing to the board from the disallowance by the town auditing board of said town at a recent meeting in November, 1894, of the accounts of himself as Justice of the Peace in said town for fees in criminal proceedings. The certificate of said auditing and disallowance was filed in the County Clerk's office. On motion the petition was laid on the table.
  Adjourned.

AS THE BOARD OF CANVASSERS.

  The several committees have reported and the certificates have all been examined. The only work remaining is the signing of the report.

FRIDAY, NOV. 16.

  The board met at 9 o'clock. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved.
  By Mr. Leavitt:
  Resolved, That the Supervisors of the several towns be and are hereby authorized and directed to add to the assessment rolls of their respective towns a relevy of taxes rejected by the Comptroller, and to correct any description of non-resident or State lands therein in conformity with recommendations from the Comptroller.  Adopted.
  By Mr. Brown:
  Resolved, That the clerk of this board notify the several Justices of the Peace (who have not already reported) of this county, the Sheriff and District Attorney, to make their report to the Board of Supervisors on or before December 9th, stating the amount of fines received, from whom, and what disposition has been made of the fines so received, with an affidavit attached to said report with the proper receipts attached, and that their bills will not be audited until said report is received. Adopted.
  A recommendation from the last Grand Jury was read recommending that the Sheriff be empowered to properly ventilate the county jail, as the same was found to be improperly ventilated. Also one from Justice S. A. Kellogg, recommending that the Supervisors see that the Court House is properly ventilated, so as not to imperil the lives of those who attend court, and if the Supervisors neglect this duty the court will take the matter in hand and demand it.

Cranberry Creek.

  Charles Graham lost a valuable cow last Saturday.
  E. J. Riddle has his new hen house nearly completed, and when done will be the finest in this section.
  Mr. and Mrs. George Lee are rejoicing over a young piece of humanity; weight 10-1/2 pounds, and Mac, the grandpa, is so smiling over the advent that he walks around and almost whispers it in his own ear.
  Two young bloods were seen last Sunday, when the people were coming from church, driving through our streets at the top of the poor horses speed under that influence which make men mellow and degraded, and if the thing occurs again they will be delt with according to law. A word is sufficient.
  J. W. Armstrong is on the road with as fine a lot of Dress Goods and Yankee Notions that can be found this side of the city of Albany, which he is selling cheap. Go in Jack.
  We would say the Hardscrable Guide is alive and kicking, and that they will hear from him later on. Au revoir.

They Killed Each Other.

  Samuel Jones set a trap for a fox the other day at the upper end of the old Frazier clearing, near Rondout, and when he went to see if he had caught anything, Saturday, he found that the trap was gone, notwithstanding it had been secured by a chain and a heavy staple driven into a log alongside.
  The chain had been broken and there was rather a plain trail in the dead leaves.
  This trail Jones followed until he got to a small opening, about a dozen rods away, where on the moss lay the fox, dead, yet holding fast by the throat a dead eagle.
  The eagle, in flying over the woods, had seen the entrapped fox and swooped down upon it, but the fox, although crippled by the trap, had made a good fight and had killed his assailant while yielding up his own life.
