Weekly miners' express. (DuBuque, Iowa) 184?-1849, 1848-01-26

"LEAP YEAR. Our readers are doubt
less aware, tina. the year we have Just
entered upon is Leap Year. Every 4th
year contains, by the calender, 366 days
--one day being added TO the month of
February. II may be interesting, if not
new to the reader,to callto mind the ORR
gin Of this fact. The calender of the
Roman Emperor, Julian, made the year
1861 days. Il was found by this rule,
thsre were some minutes less, which in
The course Of centuries, had made diff
ference III the astronomical equinox ola
bout ten days. This induced Pope Gre
CORY XIII, in 1889, 70 correct the error;
and he did 50. by auppressing ten days in
the calender. To prevent such discre-
pancy in future, he established the rule
one day in every four years.
This accounts for "Leap Year"
Long established custom has conferred
upon the young ladies the privilege Of
popping the question" Will they i'm
prove the opportunity, or will they adj
zero to the still more aged custom, as a
natter of interest ard convenience? AZ
hey are blessed with q most happy facnl-
i. hey might accomplish the object by

From the returns received from the
several counties, it appears that the ag-
gregate value Of property taxed within
the State amounts to $l1 ,277,139, which,
at two mills on The dollar, yields reven,
ue of $92,554 81; deduct from this, say
80 per cent. for dellnquencies and expen-
ses of collection, and we have the sum Of
$15.7s8 90.
The annual expenses Of salaries, inter-
est on loan, &c, amount to $15,25U CO..
If, therefore, there had been no session
Of the General Assembly this year, we
should have been able 10 meet all our liza
bilities with promptness. The loan Of
$55, 1000 has enabled the State to maintain
her credit at home, and keep the warrants
issued from this office at par. The first
six months interest on the loan, which is
required to be paid semi-annually at the
Philadelphia Bank, amounting to S2,73O
%, has been RENTED TO John 3. Trevor,
Esq, Of Philadelphia, for that purpose.
The Treasurer Of State has received,
during the year, up to LIST Of Nov, the
sum Of $6o,782 So, and paid on warrants
during that time the sum Of $50, 1874 SO,
the interest paid to holders Of warrants
is not included in this amount. During
the year up TO the 1st Of December, the
warrants drawn on the Treasurer amt
to $52,103 II.
BY provision Of the Constitution, ono
money can be drawn from the Treasury,
