No Township Tax.

The people of this township met at this
place on Saturday last. pursuant to call. to
vote, as the Law requires. whether or not {
township tax should be levied to pay the few
necessary expenses of the township organi'
cation. The result of the vote was, tax is
no tax, 80. This is a little surprising
They elected township officers in March
last to perform important duties, and now
they refuse to pay them for it. Il is on
the same principle of hiring men to work
in their fields or work shops, or in any 9TH
er capacity and then refusing. without any
excuse, to paw them for their services. We
do not blame the people of this or any 9th
er township in the county for grumbling
about the heavy taxation. A short time
ago they paid large county and Territorial
tax, and are just through with working out
burthensome and unjust road tax. But
because of this shall we refuse to pay a
small sum to keep up our township organi-
sation, or shall we let that organization go
by the board, as it assuredly will unless a
sufficient tax is voted to sustain it.
We do not believe that the vote on Sat-
urday was a fair expression of the people.
We do not believe they would elect man
to ell an important township Office, and af-
ter that man had left his farm in harvest,
the most busy season of the year, and
spent twenty days IN faithfully performing
his duties, that they would refuse to pay
him for it. As matter of course if we
expect to keep up township organization
We will have to pay township tax. The
debt of last year and that of the present
year will go over to be paid next year. and
it viii thus accumulate unit it becomes a
matter of some moment. Could We not
more easily pay small amount each
year as we go along. than to let township
debt accumulate which viii fually grow to
be large sum, and will have to be paid be-
fore We can have township government?
We think SO. AS the matter now stands,
We can have no township government
Men are greener than we have given them
credit for being if they do the business of
@he township without pay.

SUNDAY MORNING, DEC. 18th.

CowHDED.-At about half past o'clock,
Friday night, cicumstance occurred which
is worthy of being related. 1t happened di-
rectly in front of one of the school houses of
our city. Persons in the neighborhood heard
a masculine voice, screaming murderl'
"help !" "help!" in the most excruciating
tones, while the sound of whip or cowhide
was distinctly audible in the midst of the
outcry. 1t ceased in few minutes and all
was over. We heard of the affair directly
after it happened, but could ascertain no clue
to the mystery. Since then we have come in
possession of the whole facts of the case, but
as there is the daughter of highly respecta.
BILE family involved in the matter, we sup
press the names not only of the girl herself
but of the person cowhided and those who
did the Job.
1t appears that young man in town of no
very reputable character, and without any
family connections in the city, has by some
means become acquainted with very pretty
girl attending one of our schools She is
about l6 years of age and of somewhat ro-
mantle turn of mind. They have been in the
habit of clandestinely corresponding, he leav-
ing a note for her in the drawer of her writ
ing desk in the school room, and she leaving
her reply in the same place. The school
house door not being locked at night fine
field was presented for the exchange of their
amatory epistles. The schoolmistress had
observed this young man prowling around
for some time and finally suspected what was
going on. Accordingly she set her wits to
work and found out not only the fact of the
correspondence but the locality of the pre-
cious missives. Having assertained this, she
lay low and said nothing" until at last she
read note from the young man proposing an
appointment with the girl in the schoolroom
at half past o'clock or thereabouts, Friday
evening Leaving the letter in the desk, she
waited reasonable time for the reply. Re-
pairing to the drawer she found the reply.
agreeing to meet the fellow at the time and
place designated. Leaving this letter also,
she went her way, and prepared for the

respOndence suspecting her knowledge of
their secrets Con6ding her troubles to a
friend or two, the schoolmistress left the |
matter in their hands The result was that
on Friday night two energetic fellows en-
sconced themselves in the school room. The |
disreputable young man alluded to, came to
the gate, looked carefully around and enter
ed The girl had not yet come. No sooner
had he entered than he was siezed, taken out
side, and cowhided most numerically. 1t is
supposed that the whipping will last him for
some time. Before the castigators got thro'
with him, he vehemently promised that he
would never come around that place any |
more-he would stay away, sure Letting
him go, he left in somewhat of hurry and !
rather subdued state of mind
1t is proper to state that he had been told
to keep away from the locality before, and
had persisted in annoying the schoolmistress
with his presence

A MISTAKEN IDEA.-Some of the San Fran
cisco journalists, having become possessed Of
the idea that the Administration at Washing
ton was really about to send body of troops
into Mexico, still cling to that notion, and
express great sorrow that the orders requir-
ing the march of troops should have been
countermanded. This, they say, is an evi.
denee of the weakness of the Administration.
"The fat" says one. ais all in the fire again.
"Mr. Buchanan has repented," dc. 1--WE are
not clearly informed" says another "as to
the cause of the sudden backing down of
our Government" There has been no back
ing down at all, gentlemen. The President
didn't intend that the troops should invade
Mexico. The Administration may be weak
but it has proved itself not weak enough tc
order an invasion of Mexico just at this time
There was nothing strange in the ordering
of troops to the Rio Grande neither wa
there anything strange in the fact that thos
orders should have been eountermanded.
