PERSONAL TAxEs.-The County Trea-
surer announces that there will be reduction
of ten per cent. on the personal City and
County tax, if paid before the first of Feb.
ruary next, and that be has no discretion in
the matter, but is compelled to seize upon
and sell any personal property that the tax
payer may be the owner of after that date.
The following are the provisions of the
law: ..
(Sec. 10. County Treasurer Act.) "That at
any time subsequent to the first day of Febru-
ary next. after such taxes shall become due,
the County Treasurer or his deputy shall, if
necessary, distrain sufficient goods and chat
tells belonging to the person or persons charged
with taxes levied upon personal property if
found within his county. to pay the taxes upon
the personal property of such person or per-
sons, and the costs that may accrue and shall
Immediately proceed to advertise the same in
three public places in the township or ward
where such property may be taken, stating the
time when and the place where such property
will be sold and if the taxes for which such
property shall have been distrained, and the
costs which shall have accrued thereon shall
not be paid before the day appointed for such
sale, which shall not be less than ten days
after the taking of such property, such Trea-
surer or his deputy shall proceed to sell such
property at public vendue, or so much thereof
as will be sufficient to pay said taxes and the
costs of such distress and sale."
(Sec. 81. County Auditor Act) "And upon
the settlement of the County Treasurer with
the County Auditor, in March of each year,
the Auditor shall note upon the marginal COL
umn of the tax list, the several reasons as
signed by such Treasurer why such taxes could
no oil tod md ia oho11 ho sir od
by the County Treasurer, who shall testify to
the correctness thereof under oath or afirma.
ton, to be administered by the County Au.
ditor."
There has been great laxity in the COL
lection of personal taxes heretofore, but the
law is 80 stringent that no one can evade
it. Hereafter those who own large amounts
of personal property will be obliged to pay
their share of public expenses.

A MAN KILLED By FALLING ON A

A MAN KILLED By FALLING ON AN AXE.
"A coroner's jury was summoned on Sun
day to view the body Of deed man found,
on the bottom near the poor house. 1t
was proved to be the body of Thomas
Campbell, who resided with his family near
where he was found. The following is a
portion Of the testimony at the inquest:
WILLIAM TOWNSEND, s,corn.-When I was
returning from church, about two o'clock Sun
day afternoon, found the body of Mr.. Camp
bell, about quarter of mile from his resi-
dence. He was lying on his back when found
him, about one rod from the Red Rock road.
Immediately went and informed Mr.. Miller that
had found man dead, butdid not know who
he was. Mr.. Miller and myself then went to
the body, and he recognized it as being that Of
Mr.. Campbell. We did not distur b the body
at that time, but informed his wife that we had
found dead man on the road who we sup
posed to be her husband. l did not see an axe
at that time.
MRS. RACHEL CAMPBELL, (wife of deceased)
s,corn.-The body before me is my husband.
He was out on the "bottom" when last saw
him, chopping log, less than quarter of a
mile from the house. / was going for the COW
and he told me he would get the cow and lead
her home. This was the last time 1 saw him.
He appeared to be in good spirits when his left
the house this morning. have no doubt but
his death was purely accidental. From
what have seen l think he must have had the
axe on his arm at the time he was leading the
COW. heard some one call out ''come out
here" several times, but supposed it was
some one at the poor house. 1t was about one
o'clock when heard these calls.
A deep wound was found on his left arm,
and the main artery was completely severed
and he bIed to death. The verdict of the
jury was in accordance with these facts.

The WAY TIE MONEY GoEs-Since
nature has bridged the Mississippi river, we
cannot see the use of having toll keeper
on the wooden structure owned by the city,
at an expense of thirty or forty dollars q
month. The receipts on Saturday were ten
cents on Sunday, five cents. Together
with riprapping and painting, and salaries
and twelve per cent. interest on bonds, the
city will pay dear for the bridge.

DEER.-A gentleman just down from the

are plentier in that region than ever before,

Chippewas were arriving, and had com.

sixty.three. Some of the whites had been
burning down their tepees to make them go
away from such prolific hunting grounds.
