TAxING FmMEN.-Some little stir has been
Dsde among our iremen. lately, by the dis
coyery that most Of them had been set in the
lists by the listers, az liable to poll tax The
listers have, We suppose, based their action
on the General statute, which provides that
''ali polls of the male inhabitants Of this
STATE, over The age Of tNenty-One years, shall
De set in the lis, at two dollars each Pro-
,id,d. nevertheless, the listers may, in their
discretion. omit the poll Of such persons as
ere extremely poor, or Of any other persons
from whom, by reason oc absence or other
cau-e, a tax !. not likely to he collected -
But the General Statutes also provide that
AL irc companies formed iu pursuance of
any previous cnactmtn shall possess all the
privileges and immuni,ies secured to them
under such laws" And among the immu-
mites ~ secured 10 the frcmen Is that Of
exemption from polltax. Tie act Of 1915
provides as follows
Tire Poll of the members Of frc Engine
C,mqlnics TO the number by their respec-
tive acts Of Incorporation excused from mill
r,ry juty,=hall hereafter he exempt from al
tarss. except such as may be assessed for the
purpose. OF highways and bridges, and shall
also be exempt from serving as jurors.
Have not the listers made mistake in this
matter

read on Sunday for special meetings of the
different town Aid Societies. Our ladies IN

ed on Tuesday large box of hospital sup
Pile.

now On our hands, who need care, there will
be many more from battles yet to come
and that soon. Let there be no diminution
Of hospital ,upplies for weeks TO come. Lee
those who cannot work give money to buy
material. 1t viii be wisely spent.
The call for maple sugar and dried fruit

Let them see to it that there is no lack.
