The Ten Cents Tax.

The ten cents tax upon country market men Is
considered impoItic by many very eensible citi'
zens and does really look like rather small affair
The country market men should be encouraged to
come, and a. long rs they retail their small stocks
of poultry, eggs, fruits and vegetables on the side
walks. and at the tails of their carts there is no
good reason to tax them. The tax. II may be re-
piled Is very small so much the less reason for
levying 1t, since 1t can bring revenue of conse-
quepce into the treasury, and annoys and burthens
q class ofvery poor persons, whose commerce with
thu city is beneh. and protection from extortion
to the citizens The tax moreover is one collected
by officers upon whom there ia no check. and who
may use, for their own benefit, part of It without
detection. The present officers, 1t is true. are
above suspicion but It may not be 30 with their
successors. The repeal of this tax would be, we
think, aprudent and proper measure.

medicinal virtues. The place is quite remarka'
BILE for the number of its fountains. The reader
need but look at the list of Summer retreats adver

watering places In Virginia, and bow varied are
the attractions they offer to the invalid and the
pleasure seeker. What he there sees are not all,
that are brought to the notice of the public through
