TAKING THE RAILROAD TAX HARD.-The
Brownsville Pa.) Times says: The people of
Washington county seem determined to offer
At least a passive resistance to the collection
of q railroad tax. A few days ago, we noticed
the case OF man who had his horse levied
upon by the Collector; bnt, inasmuch As no
bidder for the animal could be found, he was
returned him again; the tax Ga therer not even
making his expenses by the operation. This
week we have to announce the seizure and sale
of the Hon w. Montgomery's library, for rail
road tax. The gentleman IS one of the mos:
steadfast opponents of the impost in the coun-

a Snow. BALL RIOT AT EDINBURGH UNIvEI-
siTY-The Edinburgh papers give the follow
ing account OF Il riot among the University
students, which originated in a cW-ba!liuc
match:
Goa Monday, the Both. from ten O'Clock in
the morning till considerably after four in the
afternoon, large bodies Of police and hundreds
of students We're engaged in an almost inces-
saut strife. Shops We're closed, streets block
AIDED, and there We're thousands OF spectators.
"Provoked, the students threw snow balls in
voleys at the officers crying 'to the rescue :
Scores OF panes in 'he opposite windows were
broken. The police made dash into the en-
closure, general skirmish ensued. and two or
three students were hit hard with haiols One
or two were apprenended and carried outside
amidst hooting, yelling and voI!eys of snow
and renewed shoutS of Rescue and Down
with the police were raised.
More than one hundred young neu charged
the pol CO, and all fought with sticks and ba-
tons. Many came out of the ,Heiee with faces
streaming with blood The tumult was deaf
enlar. anC The com tatat IS on both sides We're
joined by spectators. The fight Was dpspera g
and long. but ultimately the students, although
they then numbered more than leo against NJ,
policemen, were wUrsted, and driven peli-rneli
into the college strong hold. They again re.
sorted to snow-bails, and five or six more ar
| rests were made. After Il luil, there was q
worse outbreak than ever toward four oc clock
Two or three students were seriously in

Went home in a disabled state. Magis ira ties

BnFxs Eye SHE Lights.--The opinion seems
to be ginning ground that many of the fires on
board American vessels are caused by the use
of bulls eye side lights. Some weeks since,
whilst the schooner Rvseneath, Capt. Baker,
was lying in the Richmond dock, smoke was
discover d to be escaping from the mates
room. On opening the door to ascertain the
cause, coat was discovered to be on fire. As
no cause could then be given for the origin Of
the fire, Capt Baker concluded that the BULBS
eye side light had something to do with it, and
hy frequent experiments ascertaiued that its
power, as 4 burning glass, was sufficient to
cause ignition at a distance of five or six feet.
May not these lights cause many of the fires
that have lately occurred on American vessels
freighted with cotton! The question is one
worthy of consideration by ship owners and
underwriters.
