Tho case Of Berks county VS. Isaac Ber-
toilet, Miller Of Obey, for refusing TO pay n
license Of seven dollars imposed upon him
by the construction of the act 22d April,

Mr.. Beriolet, ia common with nearly all
the Inllers Of The county, took exception TO
such construction, bu! not 10 incaT the ex-
pcnsc Of suit, he paid the license the first
year or two under protest. Subsequently,
they contributed their quota Of funds to have
the matter lested, he reused payment. One
reason for this course, was The fact stated at
the time, that in several of the adjoining
counties, The milIers were not included in the
returns of the mercantile appraiser, and Of
course were not called upon 10 pay license
The case was tried by the Common Pleas Of
Berks county aud resulted in favor Of The
defendant. The Commissioners carried il
up 10 the Supreme Court for final adjudica-
lion, when tho decision Of lhe Court below
was reversed and judgment entered against
Mr.. Berolel for seven dollars, the amount o.
liceRse in dispute. This settles the case u
gainst the mlllers. The opinion was dely-

LIFE INSURANCE. We expected to be nble

again stale that B. w. PHLLrPs, Esq, at

There is no doubt as to the propriety Of n
man insurrg his life, especially if he have .
family. BY paying small sum of money
annually, upon his death, he insures to hi:
family competence perhaps an indepen'
dence. Again, If a man is in business, anC

he is, at all times, considered worth The
amount Of his life insurance, and his cred
lis enhanced accordingly. There are al
