A WAR ABOUT HAND ORaANs.-Ouite
an amusing controversy has been carried
on of late in relation to hand organs, be-
tween a well known lecturer and a Bank
President, both residing in the same local
ity at the South End. 1t seems that the
invalid wife OF one of the parties has a
penchant for this species of music, the
strains having a soothing effect uponsher
nerves ; therefore the itinerant musicians
are well patronized, and make freqnent
calls at that house. On the contrary. q
perverse influence is sxerted upon an in
valid in the neighbours family. Party
number two takes as much pains to drive
the grinders away as number one does to.
retain them. One brides them to 90 and
and another fees them to stay, andbetvesu

harvest-J0urnaL.

- We learn from the C'oicdon'an
that the store owned by Samuel Dens-
more, Esq., and occupied by @. W. Gaf-
fey, was burned on Tuc lay night of last
week. Supposed to have been occasioned
by a defect in the chimney. The goods
were insured, and $500 on the store.
Mrs. Lucy Stone of N. j., declines pay
ing her taxes, on the ground that it is I'M
just, and contrary to the theory of our
government to tax without the privilege
Of representation. The Law requires in
snch cases a levy Of such taxes with cost
by distress and sale of goods and chattels
of the delinquent, and if these are not to
be found the body shall be delivered to
the sheriff or %jailor for safe keeping until
payment is made.
