tertained that as soon as the contractor
leaves they will break Through. They
were constructed at short notice, and
at little expense by one Jack Frost,

selfquite familiar of late in these parts.
Speaking Of Pixies reminds US that
the directory ofthe pike leading towards

The Cincinnati Riot.

On our first page will be found de-
tailed account Of the alleged riot on
the 25th Of last month. The trial Of
the rioters was held on Friday, and
after examining testimony the pros
ecution was abandoned as no facts
could be elected that could prove a
riotous intention. 1t appeared only
that the infidel association intended 10
burn the nuncio in efigy. and go
through their usual ceremony of a
Sabbath street procession. While we
must condemn the course Of the as
ISOLATION in its repeated and increasing
efforts to destroy the quiet and sanctity
of the Sabbath, we can not approve oil
the course of the chief of the Police
He was instigated either by de.
sire to please the Catholics by Wig
erous defence Of the Pope's Nuncio OF
to sgnialize himself as a vigilcnt and
brave officer. 1t appears that he
avoided all consultation with Marshal
Ruffin, an old and tried officer, and al
so the Mayor, and undertook the case
on his own responsibility. We hope
his course will undergo investigation
Our adopted citizens, while they con-
form the existing laws, must have the
protection Of law, whatever may be
their political and religious creed
Were we citizen Of Cincinnati we
would try to prevent the public des'
secration Of the Sabbath by that as
ISOLATION, but we would do it, If pos
sible by law. Let them dance oil
drink or what not, in their hall--lei
them 90 to the hills and amuse them
selves and perpetuate the customs Of
their father-land il they wish, provi-
ded they do not interfere with the
rights and privileges of others. But
their public professions on the Sabbath
with music and banner and drunken
dcss to the annoyance Of the citizens
should not be tolerated even in land
OF freedom.

Royal s. Hicks. Esq. late represent.
alive from Johnson county has been
appointed Deputy Auditor Of State
IL became necessary to make this APP
pointment In consequence Of the press
OF the new banks TO have their notes
signed. The appointment is n very
judicious one State Sentinel.
A lucky fellow is JonS Z. Dunn,
Auditor Of State. The business of his
Office Is so heavy ms TO require con.
stantly n half.a-doxcn clerks, while he
himsclfiscompelled TO work from twelve
10 fourteen hours per day 10 keep up
with the signing ofbank bills. And by
the above II appears he has had TO mp.
point special deputy TO sign his name
In addition. Il is said the aggregate
fees and salaries Of his office will yield
him more per annum than the Prosi.
dent Of the United States receives.
Capt. HAYDEN, Secretary OF State,
has also struck streak OF luck. For
making each swampland patent ho gets
iilty cents. The estimated number Of
acres Of swamp lands, as shown by
official documents, isa lmost 200. 900.
These patents are cut up into 20 acre
tracts, and there will consequently be-
$4,000 Of them required, amounting 10
tho snug sum OF $4,000 each for tho
Secretary and Auditor OF State. when
all are issued.
While We are not In the least envi.
Gus NJ seeing our friends Dunn and
Hayden thus fortunate, we cannot but
regard the act Of the Legislature which
permits the issuance OF these patents
in such small parcels, as highly censu.
rable. II does not stop At taking thir.
~ thousand dollar. from the swamp
land fund for patents, but entails a like
serious loss upon purchasers for record
ers fees. Each patent must be sepa-
rately recorded, at an expense OF one
dollar. Ii the law had required, as
It might and should have done. that
where one purchaser took all the lands
in a section, no more than one deed
should be made for that section, a sa-
wing TO the swamp land fund and to
individuals Of at least forty thousand
dollars would have been the conse-
quence.

A bill has been introduced into the
Vermont Legislature. by a Mr., Barber,
ofrather a novel character. The Green
Mountain Herald. in speaking OF this
bill, says:
Zone OF the Barberisms provides
that the sales of town agents. taverns.
and grocers, shall be limited to two
drains daily to any persons, so that a
common drunkard might legally obtain,
in any common village. from six to
TO twenty glasses each day. And be-
sides this il encourages the traffic, as
each grocer is sure TO receive his GUS
toner in turn. until he is so drunk as
to be unable to go the rounds"

President Locke.

We were favored with a short visit
from this gentleman last week-too
short, we thought. During his visit he
preached once In the Western Charge
to congregation that highly spprecia-
ted his pulpit labors.
Mr.. Locke Is small ofstature, and can
lay no claims to greatness II the body Is
the measure Of the man. lie will not
weigh, we guess, over lao pounds. He
has a pleasant countenance, a keen eye
and his face IL adorned with magnif cient
whiskers. lie Is, we think, threatened
with badness, though the loss Of his
raven locks would be a serious loss
The occasion on which he preached was
not such as to call out the orator, as Il
was night appointment, and we UNI
derstand that night is not the best time
to preach. His sermon was however a
crcditablc performance. His voice Is
weak, and he 10 heard with difficulty
whom he first begins, but as he warns
with his theme, his voice increases In
strength and becomes sufficiently loud
and very pleasant. His language Is
chast and beautiful, and forceablc, being
chiefly Ang!o-saxon. We learn tina,
no is eminently qualified for his post,
and that the institution over which he
presIdes ID rapidly growing In influence
and usefulness. Our citizens who are
In search OF aplaee to educ ate their
sons and daughters would do we'll to put
them under the care of Mr.. Locke.

Assessment of Personal Property.
The time for another assessment OF
personal property has rolled around
The list is made up Of the pro perty held
by the taxpayer on the LIST Of January.
All are assessed from the same time un-
der the present law instead Of some be-
ing assessed now. and others 3 or 4
months hence. whenever the Assessor
happened to oall along, as under the old
law. All thus stand on equal ground
more nearly than before. or course the
Assessor cannot call upon oil on that
day. or, in the large Townships, for sew
eral days, or even weeks. afterwards
1t would be well, therefore, for each
taxpayer, to fix in his mind, or take
down on paper. a kind Of inventory ofthe
personal property held by him on that
day, so that, when the Asses sor does
come, there need be no difficulty in cali
ing to mind what he then possessed.
