Village taxation is omitted in this aggregate;
that the total, allowing for the increase of this
year, may be fairly stated at twenty millions.
The canal tolls this year four millions, which
20 10 meet the interest and Sinking Fund of the
Canal debt, and carry surplus to the general
fund debt.
We eallude to the canal revenues in connection
with this subject of taxation, because in many OF
the States the revenues Of the public works are
wholly Inadequate TO meet the interest OF the
debts for their construction, or, IN some cases,
even to pay the cost of maintenance and repair.
In such States the interest of the debt must be
met by taxation; as portions of it. for q long
series of years have had to be even in this State
In estimating the capacity of the people of the
loyal States to bear Federal taxation, we must
take into consideration existing State taxes and
State debts.
II is estimated that one fifth of the taxation of
the Federal Government will fail upon the State
of New York. Indeed, IL has nearly one-fiith Of
the representation Of the loyal States, and would
bear that proportion Of direct taxes. OF indirect
taxation il would bear larger proportion.
Thus, of a Federal war tax of $500 ,O00.O00
raised by imposts, taxes and excise, New York
would bear for its shcre $40 900 900, and in add-
ton must continue to pay its own State tax oil
500, 900, ,000 This is at the rate Of sixty millions
year This amount raised from four millions OF
people is very large. and more, We believe. than
the people of Great Britain and Ireland ever sus
tanned at any one time

THE GARDEN STATE Illinois formed her
present State Constitution in 1890, with a popu-
lation of $4,000. She is now forming new
Constitution, her inhabitants having increased to

one years, multiplied her people thirty one times
"a more rapid growth than any other American
State can show.

deeds of yalor in defence of our common
country be ever fresh in our memories,
and may they ever be in favor of a anion.
At the termination of the foregoing pro-
ceedings, a large balloon was sen up from
the north side of the Square. Its eaial
fight however, was quite limited, in con-
sequence of it bursting after rising per-
haps 200 feet.
There being no other public amusement
provided for the crowd, they amused
themselves according to taste. The Fly
ing horses" were literally ~patronized, as
well as the retailers of tangle-foot whisky.
The latter developed itself in half a dozen
of fights in the afternoon and evening, and
as many commitments to Jail. Free fights
seemed the order for a-Short time, and all
that choose event in on their muscle"
several of whom came out on all tours,
with somewhat disfgured profles. The
police pitched in and squelched the row.,
by "confiscating" several of the ring
| .aders.
We have hardly ever known a public
day so marked by accidents with horses
and buggies as the 18th inst. In some
instances horses became frightened at fire.
crackers, and ran away. There were three
instances of that kind. There were per-
haps a larger number of accidents grow
ing out of collisions. In some cases liquor
was to blame, in others, it is said, not. In
one instance a vehicle was torn to pieces
by colliding with another, but nobody Sc
riously hurt. In the other accidents, the
occupants Ofthe buggies generally escaped
with an upset and miscellaneous spilling
in the street.
There not having been fireworks pre-
pared for the evening. there was no spec
ial attraction to keep the crowd together
until a late hour, and by 10 o'clock the
streets were comparatively quiet.
Had it not been for disturbances aris-
ing from indulgence in liquor, everything
would have passed off decently and in or
der. 1t was a matter of regret that a large
proportion of the intoxicated and noisy
persons were returned soldiers.

A Woman Burned to Death.

Messrs. Editors Another sad affair oc-
Cured at Mineral Ridge on Monday ev-
ening June Both, go, about 9 o'clock.
Mrs. Gwinna Morriss, a widow woman,
about SIS years of age, was burned to
death. Some of the neighbors were at
tracted to her residence by the smell of
burning clothes, and on breaking open
the door, they discovered Mrs. Morriss
near the door, upon her knees and ell
bows, her face covered with her hands,
and they lying upon the floor, her cloth
ing very nearly all burned from her body,
some of the fragments still burning,
which they soon extinguished by throw
ing in three or four buckets of water the
room being so full of smoke it was al
most impossible to enter it for some time.
Mrs. NORRIS was entirely dead, the
body and limbs being burned 70 arcrisp,
the sinews of her limbs so contracted
that it was impossible to s~traighten them,
except by lashing them to q board or by
cutting them.
Your humble servant being duly sum-
moned, arrived on the premises at I
o'clock, Tuesday morning, and forthwith
summoned q jury of inquest, before which
it appeared in evidence that deceased liv-
ed alone in her log cabin, that she was in
the habit of drinking to excess, that
about Z o'clock of the evening of her
death, she was seen ut her cabin quite in
toxicated. When the cabin was first en-
tered by W Lewis and w. Young-a
candle was burning on the table, it appa-
rently having been standing in a tin tum-
bier which was turned down, the candle
nearly melted and burned out. The ia
bic being set with dishes and the rem
nants of a meal and an empty whiskey
bottle still upon it.
DIR. Hawkins stated that she had invi-
ted him to take tea with her, that he
was so much intoxicated that he only re-
membered awaking. sitting at the table,
almost suffocated by the smoke; he says
chow he got out Of the cabin he canno
tell, neither does he recollect of seeing or
hearing anything of Mrs. Morriss." The
table had apparently been set for and &C.
cupied by two persons.
The verdict of the jury was that deceas-
ed came to her death when in n state of
intoxication, by her clothing taking fire
thereby burning and suffocating her to
death.

Early in life he became a member OF
the Disciples in Warren, and his friends
feel that a christian spirit has ever adorned
his short and eventful life.
Devoted to his Country he lived a Pa
triot and died at his post.
The body of Lieut.. Lewis arrived at
Bloomfield on the morning of the 4th Of
July. They had intended keeping it un-
til Sunday the 9th, a. which time the
Funeral Sermon would be preached. Al
though it had been embalmed, on its ar
rival it was found to beso muchdecompos-
ed as to render it imprudent to keep it
longer. At IL o'clock A. N. a few of the
friends together with the family connec-
tons bore the long exposed body to its
last resting place; the booming of the can
non ensign of the life his soul coveted,
tolling his last long farewell.

Soldiers Monument

The people of Ashtabula County have
organized a, Soldiers' Monument Associa-
ton. 1t i~sproposed to erect q Monument
OF sufficient dimensions to embrace the
name of every soldier from Ashtabula
county who shall die or be killed in the
service.
The idea is an excellent one, and we
suggest to the people of this county wheth-
er 1t would not be well to organize a sim
liar association here. Surely the noble
mon from Trumbull County, who have
already fallen in defending our rights, as
well as their own, deserve at u hands
all the tokens of respect and gratitude
which can-be ~givento their memory. To
their number may be added many more,
before the rebellion shall be extinguished
and their names too should be perpetuated.

DR.. Lewis.

A man visited this place a few weeks
since, and gave his name as DR.. Lewis. a
practitioner in diseases of the eye and~ear.
To those Interested we will say that he
wrote out his own advertisement, handed
it in for publication, and paid the custo-
mary price. per week. We fearn that he
has represented that the card was written
by Others, without his knowledge, and
that he knew nothing of it until he saw
1t in this paper, On this point we only
say, that ne does not tell the truth, and,
fos this and some other reasons, we are
constrained 10 believe that patients will
generally find that the Doctor" cares
more for their money than their eyes and
ears. He has left this region, having
played OUT in these parts.

Death of Harrison Shafer.
GARRY c. REED,
Coroner.

Died, in Champion, July 4th, Harrison
Shafer, aged % years. The deceased was
a member of Company II, 9TH Regiment,
o. V. NJ, and had shared with his Regi-
ment all the perils of its ardorous cam
paign. Exposure and fatigue, brought on
Typhoid Pneumonia, and after a short
stay in the hospital at Cumberland, Va,
he was brought home to die, and yielded
up his last breath on the anniversary of
the natal day of that national indepen-
dence which he fought to p~erpetuate.
The funeral took place on last Sabbath,
and his remains were inferred in the GEM
etery at the Centre of Champion.
1t was the request of the deceased that
he might be inferred with military honors,
and Capt. Goldstein's company, from this
place, was present to pay the last tribute
to the memory of the young soldier. The
company marched from the house of the
father of the deceased, to the cemetery,
with arms reversed, the music playing a
slow march. Three volleys of musketry
were fred oyer the grave, and he was left
to sleep undisturbed by beat of drums or
call to arms, until the last trump shall
sound.
The number of people in attendance
was immense, and the church being in
adequate to hold a tenth of the audience
they adjourned to a grove east of the GEM
eterv. and listened to a sermon by Rev.
Mr.. Reeves, of Pennington NJ. E. Church.
In the course of his remarks at the grave,
the venerable preacher alluded to the fact
that two of his own sons were now in the
army and said that if it was necessary, in
order to preserve the Union, their lives.
too, should be sacrificed. He would not
repine, but if he had q thousand sons, his
country was entitled 70 them all.
