session, bill was introduced by Mr.. ].
L. Willard, to "promote the happiness
of the people and increase the strength

bachelors 90 cts. on every 800 they
might be worth, in assessable property.
But we believe it did not pass into law.
Mr.. Gales, one of the editors of the Ma

females generally ought to give vote
of thanks to gentleman of such merits
