A young lady, about sixteen years OF
age, daughter Of the late David Loulon,
residing about four miles from ShebyyilIe
Ind, started one afternoon on horseback
a week or two ago, to visit a sister in the
eastern part Of the county, near St. Paul.
Confident Of her knowledge Of the direc,
ton. which led to her sisters residence,
she struck across a wooded tract of coun.
try without road for some distance,
until she come TO an extensive slough,
0ordeted by swamPy morass which
extends all the way to Flattock. She
followed this several miles, in the hone
oi getting around difficulty she could
not get over, But finding no outlet, and
no sign Of habioton, the truth suddenly
flashed upon her that she was lost. 1t
was now getting dark, and she was in
the midst OF the most gloomy soliluIos
to be found in this region. She haIoood

swampy nature Of The country, exceed.

she soon made up her mind what 10 do.
Dismountiog, she prepared to encamp for
the night, See made her horse secure TO
tree and took OF the saddle. She
fortunately had blanket which she
spread under a large tree, upon the
ground, and wrapped in a capacious ri.
dmg.skirt, with her saddle for a pillow,
she took nP her lonely camp quarters for
tie night. The thought Of snakes kept
her awake for several long weary hours.
when at Iong.. she fell asleep. Awaking
so~o llme during the night, she got up
and examined to see tha. her horse was
safe, when she lay down again and
snoozed it soundiy until morning. She
heard the train on the railroad, and made
for the direction Of the sound, and by
breakfast time she was safely at her des.
tinalion. Although she speaks Of the
affair as mere romantic adventure, she

built upon The limos, and by the capital en-
ployed in trai6c at such points, and which is
thus brought into the county, serves still
further to enlarge the basis Of taxation for
what You call Legitimate" purposes, and
thus to tighten that burthen upon those, II
any, who do not participate in the direct ben
efits.
IL is by no means easy to show that the
benefits of such works are disproportioned
to the burthens, even were the stock to be
paid for by taxation; or, if they are dispro-
portioned, that tho advantages a. to taxation
do not result to remote rather than to ada
cent property.
The state of Ohio constructed her canals,
some twenty FIVE years ago, at cost Of sew
en- or eight millions, for which she incurred
heavy debt. Counties remote from the
canals, and having no traffic on them, and no
diree, interest in their construction, were,
and perhaps still are, subject to taxation On
account of that Indebtedness, an instance
Of the seeming injustice you refer to. But
nave been assured py men familiar with the
finances of the state, that it could DO demon
strated, from the Auditors returns, that
these remote counties paid actually less tar
than they would but for the canals. They
share in the Indebtedness, nominally, it is
true, but they not only pay none Of it, in
fact, but have their al,--their "lcgiti-
mate, "-taxes lishtened in the manner have
explained. Their real ground for complaint
is, not that they are taxed for the benefit of
others, but that they have not the advantages
by rca~n Of which other counties are more
heavily taxed. IL would be low estimate
to value the increase of taxable property in
that state, by reason of these canals, at
thirty fold their cost.
Concluded to- morrow.l
