Total tax duplicate of the Co. slO,5O72 I'll.
The average valuation of land is S22,5O.
There are about 25,00O,0OO acres Of land
now valued in the State for taxation at
about $3.50, 100000 or an average Of SIS
per acre. The total available grand du-
plicate Of the State for 1854 may be set
down at $3.50, 100000 and at the average
of Jefferson County would produce an
amount of S7,0O0,0O0 in taxes.
l see it stated in paper having I pre-
sumo access to later information than |
have been able to command, that the total
amount Of general and local taxes in the
State, exceeded S9,G00,O00 for 1854. If
so, the local taxes have been much heavier
in other parts Of the State than in Jetfer-
son County. I cannot but think, howev-
er, that there is some error in the state
ment to which / refer. Some of the ex-
penditures for which these taxes are col
lected are permanent in their characters
and their amounts may be increased or di-
minished according as extravaganza OF
economy, liberality or parsimony shall pre-.
| vail.
f Others are temporary and by a judicious
application of the public revenues should
soon be materially lessened and in few
years entirely abolished. Of this class ii

Sowing Flower Seeds.

The season is very backward, that but
title can be done in the flower garden. 1t
best to wait until the peach trees are in
blossom, before sowing flower seeds. In
the meantime have the ground spaded to
an extra depth, to guard against drouth,
and enriched with old stable manure. If
at all clayey, SO as to bake on the surface
when dry, put an inch or two Of mellow
rich earth on top, for seed to vegitate it,
In arranging the flowers, many persons
take great PAINS to intersperse the different
kinds as much as possible throughout the
grounds; buta much better effect is pro-
duced, according to our taste, by sowing Or
planting most Of the kinds in masses of a
yard or more in width, according to the ex-
tent Of the grounds-especially the low or
spreading kinds of flowers, like verbena,
portulacca, petunia, pansy, pinks, &C., and
back of or next to these may stand masses
of taller kinds, like aster. balsam, larkspur,
pholx, nlarigold, &C. nj
In sowing flower seeds, remember to
shade the ground where the smaller kinds
are deposited, or day of hot sun may pre-
vent their coming up, or destroy the young
plants. A handful of small bushes laid on
the ground, as shelter from the wind and
q partial shade, is Of great service in many
cases. ga ts aF e@s
Dahlias are easily raised from seed, and
if the seedi taken from good double flow
ers, good varieties may often be obtained
in that way. If the seed is sOwn in March
orApril, in good hot-bed, the plants can
be SO forwarded as to be planted out the
latter part of May, and will flower the same
season. Or the seed may be sown in good
mellow soil in May, and tho plants trans
planted in June, to where they can make
fair growth, then in autumn dig up the
roots and hang them in a dry part Of the
cellar till the next spring We are prom
ised package Of choice imported Dahli'
seed from Messrs Thorburn & Co. of New
York ina few days. Our Hyacinths re
ceived from them last fall, blooming beau
tifally in our sitting room during the pas
two months; one Of the roots produces
seven stalks Of flowers, and was greatly ad
mired by all who saw it.-Ohio CuItiro

Taxes and State Expenditures.

AoASs oAAA St~ee @~NPS@-N-t~-S-t
l now come to the fourth head Of the
purposes for which the citizen Is required
to contribute from bis private wealth.
Taxes, whether in money, in kind, as
tithes, or labor, as the two days work on
the roads, are a portion of the private
means of each citizen collected and ex-
pended for such purposes of general use
fulness as concern all equally, within GER
tain limits more or less extended. As !
have already said, the propriety Of q tax
depends upon the necessity or usefulness
of the purpose to which the tax is to be
applied. / will here add that however
useful or necessary the purpose, the ques-
ton must be modified by one other ele-
meut, viz, the ability of the community
to accomplish the proposed undertaking.
The waste or mis-appropFiation of the
funds after they are provided fora proper
purpose can never relate back and render
the tax itself improper, any more than the
reckless waste of the accumulations OF
years of care and economy by an individ-
ual could vitiate the industry and pru-
dence by which they were acquired.
| have in the previous three numbers
treated Of the taxes for the support of the
general state government, for and on ac-
count of the principal and interest of the
State debt and for the support of the COM
inonschool system. These taxes are main
ly levied by uniform assessment through
out the State.
In this number 1 shall treat Of the To-
cal taxes and their purposes. These taxes
are compressed under the general heads Of
County, Township, City, Town, and Bo-
rough taxes, and are again in some instan-
ces, subdiyided according to the purposes
for which the money is to be expended.
These taxes are, within certain general re-
strictions, assessed by the several local au-
thorities, placed upon the county tax du,
plicate and collected by the County Treas
urer with all other taxes.
Below l give the local taxes in the
County Of Jefferson for the year 1854 BY
way of example. Thcy were as follows:
