RATING OF THE LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAIL'
WAY.—Among the Appendices to the Fifth Report of the
Select Committee on Railways, there is an elaborate table of
parochial assessments in the several parishes intersected by
the London and Birmingham Railway. From this table it
appears that the railway passes through eight parishes in the
county of Middlesex, ten in the county of Hertford, twenty-
three in Buckinghamshire, twenty in Northamptonshire,
eighteen in Warwickshire (including the county of the city
of Coventry), and one in Worcestershire. The total of as-
sessment on the railway and buildings in these parishes wag,
oe the 31st December last, 134,1591. Is. Bd.; the "value of
the land occupied by the railway at the average rateable
value per acre, of the several parishes," 2,4451. 2s. 7d.; and
the " additional value derived by the landed property of the
parishes from the assessment of the railway with reference to
rates only—assuming such value at twenty years' purchase,
of the annual rent-charge from which the rating of the rail-
way has relieved the parishes" not less than 360,312/. Surely
the rate-payers have reason to rejoice that the railway wag
established !—Railway Record.

LOVE OF TITLES IN AMERICA.—A well-known gen"
tleman at Winchester, in this State (Virginia), re-
lated an amusing anecdote to me on this subject
Crossing the Potomac into Virginia, with his horse,
in a ferry-boat, the ferryman s,id, " M tjor, I wish
you would lead your horse a little forward," which
he immediately did, observing to the man, " I am not
a major, and you need not call me one " To this tbe.
ferryman replied, " Well, Kurnel, I ax your pard(-n.
and I'll not call you so no more." Being arrived at the
landing-place, he led his horse out of the boat, and said,
" My good friend, I am a very plain man, I am neither
a colonel nor a major, I have no title at all, and I
don't like them. How much have Ito pay you?" The
ferryman looked at him and said, " You are the firs 4
white man I ever crossed this ferry that warn't jilt no'
body at all, and I swear I'll not charge you nothing."---.
