SINGULAR PHESoMENA.-Ac correspon.
dent of the Jackson (Mich) Patriot says;
On the morning OF the Gath May, a
singular phenomena appeared near Tomp-
kins. After u heavy rain the night pre-
vious the ground was covered with small
fish; they were found one mile beyond
Barry's gate, and extend ing about Ealfa
mile along the plank road. There were
two kinds, one about three inches in length
and appears to be the kind known here
as the dog fish; the other kind are the
most numerous, about two inches in length
and species unknown here. They mum
Der from twenty to forty to the square rod
Of ground. They were alive when they
fell, tn ough many Were killed in falling.
Great numbers were carried by the run
ming water into the pools and puddes in
the fields and woods, where they may
now be seen swimming about lively and
active.

- A Tax Payer"

y Tax Payer of Pleasant Hill, who has
place in our paper this week, is opposed
to road to Chester from this place ; or at
least would oppose its being built by taxa
ton. He, we conceive, misappEehends our
former correspondent, who we understand
to be in favor Of a road in any direction,
whether to Chester, Ridgeway, or Camden
If it can be shown which OF these rontes is
the most practicable and the most likely TO
succeed, that route he will be in favor Of
i'ls Is precisely our own position we sug-
gest"d Chester because We doemed that in
i!at direction, VIC wero more likely to sue
coed than in any other. The road might
be built to Camden by the co.operation of
the upper sections Of Kcrshaw District
And # ever continued from here to Concord.
~ T., We doubt not, rs a Tax Payer" sup-
Gests, the stock would be more profitable.
As the shortest route, it would become the
loading commercial throughfarc between the
North and south. We, however, in con-
temputing rail road, have never looked so
much to dividends as to uItcrior benefits.
"a Tax Payer" seems aversc to taxation.
In our opinion more equitable plan could
not be adopted 1t has been rssorted to in
several of the States and wherever tried,
We believe is looked upon as the most equi-
table mode by which road can be built
The taxes are assessed by commissioners,
not upon every man alike, but according to
location. This we believe is the plan usu-
ally pursued. No tax payer could reasona-
bly, object to this, and we are inclined TO
believe that If the question was properly
put before the people Of this District, that
they would favor this method by large
majority. 1t would be we'll, however, to
try first the OLD plan and see what could
be got by voluntary subscription.
