Mahopac Lake may be reached by the Har-

Mahopac Lake may be reached by the Har-
lem Railroad in about five hours, by the way Of
Croton Falls. You take the stage at Croton Fails,
and ride some five miles over one of the most
picturesque and beautiful farm countries 1t has
ever been my pleasure to see ont ofNew DIRK city.
Hill and vail v plain and mountain, spread out
before you in its most lovely attire, and all I'M
der the highest state of cultivation. After
Teasing my eyes for one full hour. in country
stage coach. admiring the beauties Of nature,
and soaring from nature up to natures God,
the driver announced our arrival at the lake;
and we were set down about seven o'clock in
the evening at the door of what is called the
Gregory House--the name of the very almost
say) gentlemanly landlord.
The house we found lacked many improve
ments, yet is still very comfortable, considering
the short time the proprietor has had since pur-
chasing the same to make the necessary inn
prOyements. We found his table spread with
no stint of the good things Of this world, and a
host Of the cleverest colored walters / have
ever seen this side Of Niagara. The dining
room extends almost over the lake. and is SO
cool and comfortable it is really luxury to
enjoy the mountain air from the lake, to say
nothing Of the judiciously selected and well
cooked eatablcs with which his table abounds
From the dining room we wendell our way
into the large parlor, where we found an excel
lent band of music, and one of the gayest assem-
blages of beauty-and could almost fancy We
were being transported to some spirit land
The pleasures of the dance had the ascendanoy
aud we could only gaze and admire. A more
particular description of this part of the
amusemenis l VIII send you in my next, as
also some initials.
The great beauty Of this place-as also its
healthtulness-is the pure lake of water spread
before you 1t is some nine miles around, and
encircles three small islands, thckly timbered,
which add much to the beauty Of the scene.
On its bosom rest some twenty or thirty beauti-
full boats, both for rowing and sailing with can
vass The boats mostly belong to the visitors,
and here they enjoy themselves for the most
part Of the day in sailing, rowing, and fishing !;
and / mast say / was delighted to see with
what manly strength and skill the ladies piled
the oars. Indeed, think they far excelled the
men, and for one certainly think it very
healthy, innocent amusement for lady. But |
must close There are some three hundred at
the Gregory House, which is the largest here.
There are also the Baldwin and Thompson
houses, well filed with the fashionable and |
am told are well kept houses.
1t is the intention Of Mr.. Gregory to enlarge
aud improve his house before another season;
and have no doubt, with bis taste aud skill,
he will make it one of the most fashionable
places OF resort out Of New York. A. J.

Affairs In Cana0a.
THE POLITICAL COMPLEXION OF THE PARLIAMENT
JUST ELECTED.


from the Toronto Colonist, August
We give below classification Of members which,
we believe, may be relied upon. As the clergy re-
serves must be settled In some way or other at an
early period Of the coming session. and a. the cen
servatives have made it an open question, we give
to that party such members elect as we know, both
by their ante ,edents and political pre- iictions be-
long to it. Mr.. McKerle, the member for Brant,
has ever been conservative. Apart from the clergy
reserves there is not man in the House who would
be more certain to rally round Mr.. Mcdonald of
Kingston; and IN any vision which may test the
strength OF parties, he will be found in the conser
vative ranks. We know something Of divisions in
Punishment, and we also know something Of Mr..
McKerlie. When the excitement and interest of Q
party division occurs, we know well where he
will be found. The same may be said Of Mr.. Ran
kin, the member for Essex. All his sympathies
are with the conservatives. OF the other names
mentioned in the following list, there can be no
questio AZ to tine course they will take. Mr.. Bowes
being elected for the city Of Toronto, end partly
through the fundamentally Of Mr.. Gowan and the
OIangemen, dare not support radical ministry,
however much he may feel disposed to do 50.

Decision of the supreme Court of tn G
State OF Ohio.

Decision of the supreme Court of tho
State OF Ohio.
Below will be found the decision Of the Suprcm,
Court Of Ohio, on the Tax Law. We recommend i
to the careful pcrusal of every tax payer in the Coun
ty. Comment is unnecessary:

ed opinions holding:
/. The tax law of April 13, 1859, i,
vailed and Constitutional in the basis il
provides for the taxation of the banks
bankers and brokers.
2. 1he tenth section of that law, which
allows individuals and certain corpora.
tons in giving their tax list, to deduc
their liabilities from the amount of theil
moneys and credits is repugnant to the
Constitution of Ohio, and void. The
Constitution permits no deduction of liza
bilties from moneys and credits.
3. But that section may be treated as
void without affecting the validity of the
remainder of the act. The remainder O.
the act permits no such deductions.
4. Chooses in action are to be listed al
their true value. If a note, for instance
is wholly worthless, it is not to be listed
at all, ifitis of some value, but less than
its face, it is to be listed at what it is
worth.
s. The fact, that property subject to
taxation has not been listed, although it
improperly increases the burden of taxa
tion upon the property that is listed, does
not render the tax wholly void, or author
ize the interference of Court of equity.
G. Neither, in such case, is the treas7
urer, who has distrained, liable to an ac-
ton; for it is not his fault that the omitted
property was not listed. Loomis VS.. Spen-
Ger ct. ais, Ohio State Rep. affirmed.
7. The tax law of 1852, although it
describes different mode and greater
rate Of taxation than is provided for in
the Goth section of the banking law Of
l845, is not rcpugnant to the Constitution
of the United States.
8. But if it were, a court of equity has
no jurisdiction to restrain the collection
Of the tax by injunction, even though the
county Treasurer may individually be
lnsolvent. For an action of trespass af,
fords complete remedy at law to recov-
er a judgment, and the act Of March d.,
1853, "to enforce the collection of taxes,
&c. provides the means for the payment
of such judgment
Ranncy j. concurred in the judgment,
but dissented from the decision of the
second point, SO far is it holds that liabil.
iles due from individuals or corporations
other than bankers may not be deducted
from chooses in action; and also dissented
from the decision of the last point.
