The Wellsburg Herald comments
with considerable severity on the mea-
gre display made. by Brooke county in
the way of income returns. We quote
as follows from, it's article: % ii 81
I The report betrays great deal ol
poverty in this continuity, much more
than a stranger would be led to imagine
Il from the appearance of the country
and the general demeanor and dress Of
the people, their wives and daughters.
4 Only about $50 of the 900 titheables in
4 Brooke county, appear to have an ii-
4 come exceeding $500 per year, and how
u they can manage TO support families,
send 3childten to expensive schools,
keep q horse and a hired girl or two by
4 the year. and appear generally comfort
able, and that too without excessive
4 manual labor, on TINT mere pittance
for, these times, is incompre ehensible,
4 Vet they seem to do 1t, and flour ten
I dollars barrel all the while, and what
is more, they swear tolit and of course,

Grand Jury has any right to Question
their oaths. glf..i arr
/. We were going to say it wns all right,
4 but on reflection, we cannot saw that.
In, the first place deception IS never
right, and it is much worse when it is
laccomp9nied with perjury, nor is the
'Iparty who Winks at such Offences
iiuch better. In the next place, it is
not right to violate n law, nor to assist
l iii Its violation, as is done by those who
EltnoYing1y defrnud the revenue and "A
imam has to he exceedingly ignorant
not 10 know within n reasonable figure,
whit his taxable income really is.

There is another light in which the
/ subject may be viewed, that does not
make the matter any moro agreeable,
4 TO those who are honestly and loyalty
\ disposed. The Government Inns to raise
just SO much money, and has to rtise it
! by taxation, and the moro these mean,
lpenurious, rebellious and unconscion-
able "cusses" can shirk, the moro the
loyal. liberal and honest have to
shoulder. ,ssi -ftl b
We may add to the HcrdId's COM
nients Tint it is somewhat singular that
whilo Brooke county returned only
$S,919 %, Hancock county returned
S5j1T2 IS, nearly double rs much. One
can pick out n poor preacher or two,
and poor professor or two, who pay
as much income as half dozen of the
wealthy farmers. We suggest that our
friend Pratt Mith-his long probe, be
sent up to see where the trouble is.
The following local item we take from
the Herald & i,,5s6, ea.s saHas
30 Coal SHABTAThe liacussioIl ON the
coal shaft project continues, and the ifn7
Idicattons are that itltYt result in some
thing more tangible than discussion
The talk in regard to location is, that IL
is to be sunk on the high ground near
the old Brewery building, last occupied.
as a thnnery, in the lower end of town.
from which point to the river, distant
about 200 yards, railway is TO bo laid
by means, of which to load coal and
coke into boats. The water at this
point is always deep and 1t is consider-
ed one of the best hnrDors' along the
river, being well protected from ice and
drift by the heavy walls of the wharf.
There seems to be no doubt but that
ready market can be found, without
difhcultyI for all the product that can
be raised and at remuneratiYe prices.
If any thing is to be done, this season,
however, It shOuldibe done promptly.
TEACHERS ENANrINATIoN.-S
itendent NJ. Wells held an examination
/ of teachers for the free schools in the
Seminary building last Saturday, and
appointments to the various schools
have been awarded. Tile examination
was, as il should be, somewhat strict,
and fLithfully conducted, the candidates
being furnished with original questions
in a printed form, which they We're
required to answer within given time
and without reference to the text books.
The schools, WEI understands; will be
opened for scholars on Monday next,
though we are not reliably informed on
this head, Seaeral new school houses
are under contract throughoutth coun-
ty, ut tolerablY high figures.
TREsPAssERs TAKE NOTICE. = Mr..
Campbell Tarr gives notice by advertise
ment that the first party, boy or man,
eanght trespassing upon his grounds,
will find himself as speedily as is, prac-
ticableg in the hands of the law, rom
which IL may require some tribu1ation
in order to getreleaSeo. The complaints
on this head by parties living near to
town nare5numerous and increasing, and
1t seems to be unavoidably necessary
TINT an example should be made in or
der to teach the rising generation the
first principle OF ownership. Nor is
the mischief, by. any means, confined
to children. 1t has become almost use
less to attempt to raise poultry, fruit,
melons or simllar articls in the neigh
borhoOd, and it is no wonder If those
! who arc VicLimized should feel like tax
/ ing measures TO protect themselves.
