In regard to the mode Of assessing and col

have long entertained and often expressed the
opinion, that sound policy requires this should
be done by specific duties, in cases to which
these can be properly applied. They are we'll
adapted to commodities which are usually sold
By weight or by measure, and which from their
nature. are Of equal, or Of nearly equal value.
Such, for example, are the articles of iron Of

Shocking Death Of a Young Lady.

HoLuDAYsBuRG, Sept. Miss Matilda
CALDWELL daughter Of Judge Caldwell, met
with shocking death last night. She
had been at wedding at the of Rev.
Lloyd Knight, and was returning home
about o'clock, in vehicle driven by a
young man named Wcrtz. The horse
took fright at light in front Of Confer's
tavern, in this place, and ran off. The
rein broke in the effort to stop him, and
Mr.. Wertz then jumped out to arrest his
progress. The horse wheeled suddenly
and ran down the street about two hun.
dred yards. Miss Caldwell leaped out, and
fell with violence upon her head. She was
taken insensible and carried to her home,
where she expired at two o'clock this NOR
ming, having never spoken word from
the time the accident occurred. She was
a beautiful and amiable girl of about twen-
ty years of age, and her shocking death
has caused the greatest grief among her
large circle of friends.
