Wisconsin Currency Good for
Taxes.

Section of chapter 2s2. laws of 1865,
provides for the disposition of Wisconsin
currency, and town and county treasurers
can, with the ingathering of the prerent
tax, pretty effectually send it all home for
redemption. The law says: 1.-The bills
of this state-except such as were in pro-
cess of liquidation on the ninth day of
March, A. D. 1665-shall be received by
the state treasurer in payment of all dues
to the state" ALI other Wisconsin cur
rency viii be redeemed by the bank comp
troller Let the county treasurers author
ize town treasurers to receive these bills,
and the Wisconsin press inform the tax
payers that they will pay taxes, and the
old rags will soon be replaced with Uncle

dies Of the P. NJ. Church in this village on
the afternoon and evening Of Christmas
day was very well attended and the only
draw back was the fact Chat there was not
enough room to comfortably accommodate
all The guests. The tables were very taste
fa!y and bountifully arrayed. The pro-
cecds were quite large, and although not
posted as to the exact amount, we are in
formed that they were more than had been
anticipated.
