From the THIN Tribune.


Seneca Township, Nov. 2, 1858.
MEssRs. EproRs:-Having noticed a
request in your last issue, for ths readers Of
the Tribune to furnish you with some ac-
count of tho culture and manufacture Of the
Chinese Sugar Cane, / will endeavor tc
give you a brief synopsis of the same. II
should be planted in the spring, fully a.
soon If not sooner than we commence tc
plant corn,in hills or drills; if in hills, (which
l think is preferable,) they should be some
four feet apart. 1t will thrive much bet
ter if planted on rich soil, the ground facing
tho east as that will cause it to ripen much
earlier. 1t tshould bo well plowed, and kept
free from weeds and suckers. In the fall
as soon as the first good frost has come
blade it, and cut off tho top of tho stalk
some twelve or eighteen inches from the
sood, as that part Of it contains little or nc
juice. The blading and topping can be
done best while the stalks are y0t standing
After the stalks have boen run through the
mill, and the juice extracted, the boiling
should soon be commenced, as the juice
will readily sour, If fleft standing.
The boiling is best done in iron kettles
and should be carried on slowly until the
scum has been removed, and thcn boil q.
rapidly as may bo desirable. II require,
frequent skimming to free it from the i'm
purities which rise to the surface. Good
stalks will average one gallon of juice t
six or seven stalks, and one gallon Of mo
lassos to eight or nine gallons Of juice
The seed should be kept in dry place tc
prevent moulding. There are both casi
and wooden mills in operation in this neigh
borhood. The cast mills extract tho juice
best, leaving the stalks perfectly dry. The
wooden mills are much the cheapest and
can be constructed by any farmer Of com
mon ingenuity. The iron mills cost from
$50 to 500. Mr.. Palmer, near Mexico, has
one in operation, with which he presse.
out about barrel Of juice in about an hour
and half, for which he charges s74c.--
Mr.. Laird, Of this township, raised on g
piece Of ground containing thirty square
rods, as much cane as yielded eighty-iv,
gallons Of molasses. From ton to thirt,
gallons have been manufactured by ssvera
farmers 10 this part Of the country.

COUNTY PAPEns-rHsrn USE.

County papers are Of more use than peo-
pie imagine.
They very naturally aid in directing pub
lie attention to matters in which every citi-
zen Of the county is moro or less Interested
They contribute in variety Of ways, to
tho formation Of public opinion, on subjects
of public interest.
They aid in giving character and import
ace to the county in which they arc pub
lished.
They stimulate taste for reading, and
disseminate, in the course Of ono year vast
amount of useful information, much of whicl,
would not reach portion of tho readers
through any other channol.
They are of essential use in family, il
fostering taste for reading among children
County papers enjoy an advantage over pa
pers published at distance, because many
Of their items arc Of local interest which
naturally attracts child's attention. Th,
advertising columns of these papers are par
ticularly attractive to this class of readers
They arc of essential service in publish
ing various items of local intelligence il
which tho citizens are moro or less intor
ested, but of which many would remain un
informed, wero it not for these papers.
In short--county papers add in groat
variety of ways, TO the character, intclli
gencs and prosperity Of the county in whicl
they arc published; and therefore have
strong claim for support upon all who arr
directly or indirectly benefited by them.
As to the objection wc not unfrequently
hear urged against the support Of county pa
pcrs, that the price charged for them is to;
high, il may bo replied, that the price n
which it can be afforded depends maiul
upon the number Of its subscribers. Th
chief expense in the publication Of papOl
consists 10 setting up the matter. On
thousand copies can be furnished at q YER
small addition to the cost over and abov
the cost Of composition.

The semI-AnnuaI Tax Law.

Comptroller Thral sends to the papers
an elucidation of certain features of the
scmi-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:
THE PENALTY Fon NoS-PAYMENr OF
SEMr-ANNUAL TAx.--Many, if not most
persons, mistake tho effect of the tax law
passed at tho last session of the Lcgisla.
ture, providing for the payment of oue-half
Of the assessed tax upon tho goth of De-
cember. The supposilion is very general
that the penalty is but five per cent upon
the amount due upon that day, and consc
quently that there will be no additional
penalty il the taxes are not paid before the
Goth Of June of the next year, and that the
penalty therefore is but about equal to the
ordinary rates of interest charged by Bank
ers-say, abont ten per cent per annum.
LIST. II the half Yearly tax on persona
property is not paid on the goth December
docs not the whole tax for the year mature
on that day, and is not penalty of pc
cont. for non-paymcnt to be estimated o.
the phoie tax for the yearl
To this question the Treasurer replies il
tho affirmative; that is, that the penalty q
five per cent. is added to the ,ohole ia.
which appears upon the duplicate.
I'd. Is there any additional penalty 70
the non-paymcnt of taxes on personal prop
crty, if not paid at any subsequent period
to the goth Of Decembcri
The reply is in the negative; but partie
may be proceeded against immediatel
after tho Goth of December for tho ,chol
years tar.
Sd. AT what period may execution b
issued against delinquent personal tax pay
ers, and will not such delinquents have t
pay the expenses Of such executions 10 ad
dition to tho penaltyi
The Treasurer answers that tho execu
tions may issue Immediately after the 20tl
of December, for principal, ponalty an
costs.
4th. If the lialf-yearly tax on real estat
is not paid by the goth December, is ther
any additional penalty above five per cent
if not paid at any subsequent periodG
To this last query, which is very impoi
tant one to large holders Of city property
the Treasurer replies that thirty per cent
is the penalty after the first Monday il
February.

william Jays yin--rugiive Hequess.

The will Of that good man and philan-
thropist, William Jay, Of Westchester, Now
York, is an elaborate and careful document,
and in several particulars characteristic Of
its author. The papers of his father are
bequeathcd 10 his son, and likewise all his
own letters and manuscripts. Certain
pieces of family silver, among them an old
silver cup and cover which belonged to ia
cobus Van Courtland, whose daughter was
the mother Of John Jay, and whose will
bore date in 1899, were also given to his
son. The rest Of the plate is divided
equally between his three daughters. AT
ter some special bequests Of family relics
and few legacies TO his grandchildren,
occurs tho following:
"I bcqusath to my son one thousand
dollars in trust TO be applied by him at
his discretion in promoting the safety and
comfort of fugitive slaves"
This bequest, remarks the Tribune, is
probably tho first of the kind in this coun-
try, and, being in defiance of the act Of
Congress commonly called the Fugitive
Slave law, but which has boon declared un-
constitutional and void by the Supreme
Court of Wisconsin, may excite some re-
mark.
Il is, however, imperfect accordance with
the principles aud practice Of Judge Jay,
As exhibited during his life.

Board of Control.

The Board Of Control of the State Bank
Ohio held their semi-annual session this
week. We learn that no very important
business was transacted, all the Banches si
of the system being in healthy condition
and not needing legislation. Tho only
thing done in which the public have any
interest, was the adoption Of a recommcnds-
tion to the Directors of the Bank Of tho
Ohio Valley at Cincinnati, to increase its
capital to 100000. This Bank, our read-
ers will perhaps remember. is a sort Of re-
deoming agency, or clea,ing house, for the
foreign notes received By our banks, and Is,
We are glad 10 learn, answering tine purpose
Of its creation.-State Journal.

Romance In Real Life.

MARRIED, in Elyria, Ohio, on the 9th
inst, by Rev. F. A. WILDER, Mr.. LoRESz
HoLzuAUER, Of Henrietta, to Miss ELIZA
BETH KRIcK, of Rockensuss, Germany.
There is bit of romance connected with
the above announcement, which is worthy
OF being related. Tho groom came to this
country from Germany in 1916, leaving his
affections, it is fair TO presume, centcrsd
upon fair dansel in tho Fathcrland.-
Years passed away, but thoy brought no
substantial happiness to the wanderer from
the old and distant homo. BY letters re-
ceved from Germany, he learned that his
"Lizzie" was not only not married, but was
willing TO come to America, and unite her
destiny with his, and thus realize that fond
love which had been so long the subject Of
their dreams of fancy. But how was this
to be accomplished She was unable to de-
fray the expense of tho long journey, and
he was too poor to go after hor.
In this exigcncy, he applied to P. A.
Bishop, Esq, ofthis villsge, who is agent for
the celebrated firm of c. B. Richard, Boss
& Co., general agents in New York, for the
Hamburgh Steamer and Packet Line,) and
laid'al his trouble before him. Mr.. Bish-
on, with his characteristics promptncss, i'm.

This was on the 2sth of last August. A

the glad tidings to his German friend, wlie
came to Elyria TO meet his expectant bride
He could hardly wait for the cars to arrive
but soon tho shrill whistle announced thei
approach, and with heart ovofhowiug Will

platform near where they were 10 STOP

her in her own language, ais your nam,

As she stepped from the cars, her love
exclaimed, "Oh my Elizabeth, is that YOU
