What aatoniahes Isl

Nothing astonishes us so much rs to see
ministers Of the gospel joining and partlci-
psting with the order called Know Nolhinss.
Il has been proven beyond controversy, that
the first leading principle OF the order is to
teach its members how to lie. This fact
will be provea by reading au article in to.
days paper. hesded-"Infamy of Know
Noihingism." The second principle is to
learn its members incorporate habits. 1t
is we'll known that a man who has the least
inclination to driak, viii do so when hekeeps
late hours. This clan usually commence
their meetings between ten and eleven o.
clock at night. and continue unit! some time
in the morning. When they get through

years, but hare lived sober, temperate men
until they joined the Know NoIhines; and
the FIRST thing we knew Of them then, they
had taken to their old habits of drinking

Difference in favor Of 1853 $500, 90,1
The above difference III the railroad tax
is explained in this manner. In 1859 there
was over seven thousand dollars levied for
railroad tax which was over one thousand
more than was needed. This extra amount
was levied in order to accommodate the in
s~titution in the green house, which refused
at that time to pay its taxes like other peo-
pie. In 1858 the tax for 1862 was collect
ed from the bank. thus e aviug a surplus O.
over one thousand dollars for 1858 for Rail-
road purposes. That is what made the rail
road tax in 1858 less than it was in 1884,
The amount collected in 1854 is the amount
that will have to be collected SO long as
there will be a railroad tax 10 collect.
Next comes the amount for building
school houses, special and corporation tax:
The amount for that purpose
in 1853 was a,518,3 2,o
