The Semi.Annual Tax Law.

| Comptroller Thral sends to the papers
an elucidation of certain features of the
semi,annual tax law, which interests tax
payers. The article was written by the
Treasurer of Hamilton County, but as it
is endorsed by the Comptroller, is, no
doubt, the construction given to the law
by the State officials. i..-..l.ig .-Ir .-a.I
THE PENALTY FOR Non PAYMENT OF
SEMI-ANNuAL TAx-Many, it not most
persons, mistake the effect of the tax law
passed at the last session of the Legisla-
ture providing for the payment of one-half
of the assessed tax upon the goth Of De-
cember. The supposition is very general
that the penaltyis only five per cent. upon
the amount due upon that day, and conse-
quently that there will be no additional
penalty if the taxes are not payed before
the goth of June of the next yenr, and
that the penalty therefore is but about
equal to the ordinary rates of interest
charged by Bankers-say, about ten per
cent. per annum. ' -za'st i' .2A.g eno
lst. If half the yearly tax on personal
property is not payed on the Goth of De-
cember, does not the whole tax for the
year mature on that day, aud is not the
penalty of per cent. for nom payment TO
be estimated on the whole tax for the
year? -, @ La
To this question the Treasurer replies in
the Affirmative; that is, that the penalty
of five per cent. is added to the wkole tuz
which appears upon the duplicate. ,1
I'd. Is there any additional penalty for
the non-payment of taxes on personal
property, if not paved at any subsequent
period, TO the Goth of December9
The reply is in the negative; but parties
may be proceeded against Immediately af-
ter the Goth of December for the sohole
gears taz. .. 4.r l.-r
Sd. At what period may execution be
issued against delinquent personal tax pay
ers. and will not such delinquents have to
pay the expenses of such executions in ad-
diiion TO the penalty via a.as -r
The Treasurer answers that the execu-
lions may issue Immediately after the goth
of December, for principal penalty and
costs. f-f.. ..-3 ouii.rrls 7-.iIart l,iI.. .,.,.l

tate is not paid by the goth of December,
is there any additional penalty above FIVE
per cent, if not paid, at any subsequent
period?ai9 9dt eanaao5 OF soueea ~

perty, the Treasurer replies that thirty per

In TINE OF HEALTH PREPARE FOR SICK
NEss.-Nolhing is more preposterous than
to think thai, because at the present time

turned before the close of the day to lay
themselves down upon beds of sickness
from which they have not arisen for months.

WoMAN's CURIOSITY SATISFIED FOR ONCE.
The New York Herald relates an incl
dent which occurred in that city on Thurs
day last, in which woman's curiosity for
once was satisfied. ,,,...-.. ..jf .-.c|
There resided at No. 81 Thompson
street California Widow, whose appear
ance led strictly virtuous lady in the
neighborhood to think that she had recent
ly given birth to child. Such state of
things could not be permitted to exist with
out an Investigation, and accordingly this
ind igLantly virtuous lady volunteered to
enter the widows apartments and make a
search of the premises. On confronting
he.widow, and questioning her in regard to
the matter, the latter denied the soft i'm
parchment, and gave her interlocutor to
understand that she had discovered a
mares nest. But indignant virtue was not
to be baffled SO easily. She suspected that
the widows bed contained something unu-
sual, and darted forward to make an exam
ination. To her JOY she found q little
child reposing under the sheets, and in tri-
umph she bore the infant down stairs, and
forthwith proceeded to the Police Court.
An officer was at once despatched 10 arrest
the widow. Upon inquiry, the policeman
learned that the widow had packed her
traps and had taken her departure for parts
unknown. The result of the officers mis-
sion was communicated TO Mrs. NEEDLE,
whose chargin at having had the baby left
upon her hands was source of much
amusement to all who were in the secret
Justice Brennan expressed himself sorry
that the complainant should have fallen in
to such a trap, but advised her to take
care of the infant. Fearing that she would
be made the laughing stock of the eommu7
nifty if she adopted the child, she at first
refused, but subsequently consented to be-
come the future guardian of the littl inno-
cent. -..
