U~TAxEs The proceedings before the Board
Of Revenue Commissioners shew some strange
things. For instance, the tax in this county on
trades and occupations il is said, amounts to over
and in Lycoming, to just nothing at all, The tax
raised on watches, in Berks county, is put down
at 81, 1895; in Allegheny 1891 so, and in Chester
only sl2O, Allegheny and Chester counties con-
tain almost as large population as Berks, We
have but little confidence in the measures Of the
Board According to the valuations fixed by the
Commissioners and others, property in this
county is valued about the same as that of Ian
caster county, and yet, any man who has any
knowledge on the subject, knows that land, gen
orally, in Lancaster county, will sell readily at
prices double the amount, of land in this.

THE WHEAT INsEcr.--A correspondent OF

TO DEATH"
WATER Mills on THE DASrsE The edi- ,
tor OF the Savannah Republican, in one of his
letters from abroad, says that below Presburg, !
the Danube spreads out into one broad expanse, !
with fiat uninterestlng banks, which are some |
times faced with stone to control the vagarirs !
OF the capricious and changing current few
miles below Presburg begin the water mills,
which occur at intervals of a few miles on al.
most every part of the lower Danube. These
mills are formed oftwo boats moorcd in the RI
yer, in the direction of The stream, on each of
which rests one end of large water wheel that
revolves with the current In each boat il
small house, one of which is the dwelling of the
miller and his family, while the other is the
MILL Often forty or fifty oi these mills may be
seen hear the same place, and when they occur
together they are generally moored in .chcion,
SO that no one is immediately IN the rear Of The
other. 1t lsa pleasing thing on rushing down
! the mighty stream IN a Steamboat To hear the
peaceful clack of these mills-the only sound
breaking the solitude that reigns around. II is
a curious fact that, until very recent date, the
only use these waters were made to subServe,
was the turning Of the mills. The Romans
knew more about the river and made more use
of it than the inhabitants of Modern Europe, up
