ABOUT TAxEs.-A large proportion of our
friends whose taxes are in arrears are proba-
bly, unaware of the fact that the Legislature at
its last session very materially increased the
rate of penalty on such delinquencies. BY
the law in force heretofore the rate was one
per cent. per month. By an amendment to
the revenue law, this was changed to one
per cent. per month for the first three months;
two per cent. per month for the second three
months; per cent. per month for the third
three months, and four per cent. per month
for all amounts due after nine months. This
foots up very pretty little sum of addition
to mans tax, and it strikes us that no one
doing legitimate business can make money
faster than by paying them before the inter.
est comes on. Taxes duringsMay draw three
per cent. On and after the first of June,
they draw five.
This tax becomes delinquent and draws in
terest on TIE lst day of June next.

DoGs.-By recen: act of the Legislature
all do gs must be registered in the office OF
Township Clerk on or before the 18th inst,

slaughters the sum of twenty-five cents for
each dog sain. Registered dogs must have
collars around their necks on which is en-
graved the number as it appears on the books.
Any person killing registered canine will be
fined fifty. dollars.
Whether the law will be enforced in this
locality we are unable to say. For fear that
it might, however, dog owners should be
careful to fill the demand of the law.

on which the recognition rested. AS it seems
established that Johnston. body was taken

must have been that Of Col. Preston of South
Carolina, who is said to have been here, and
to have remarkably resembled Gen: Johnston
in features and size. Generals Nelson and

their installing him for Johnston was all the
more natural.-Pittsburg Cor. Cincinnati

TIt is curious to note that so far in this
war very little has been discovered by the
use of balloons. Some idea, no doubt, was
obtained of the enemy's works at Yorktown,
but the most important event Of all, their
retreat, was not found out by this MEANS
There have been hundreds of balloon recon-
noissances on the Potomac, but if they ever
discovered anything the public never heard
Of any good it did. This war has brought
into favor many novelties, but ballooning is
not one of them.
