ANOTHER WRINKLE.-The horn that
is goring the sides of the taxpayers has
just got another wrinkle. On Tuesday
last we We're served with a notice by
the Revenue Assessor to the effect that
every paper and hand-bilI we print,
will be taxed six per cent. upon its val
tie, and that we must makes monthly
return of the same. OF course we can't
afford to do this. We already pay for
Federal License, a. dealer, and have
no idea of being considered also in the
Manufacturers class. If we must pay
this tax, we shall be compelled to in-
crease our prices just in proportion.
Glorious, grand, gloomy peculiar
system! "The best Government God
ever gave to man." is getting rather
heavy to support under such load OF
taxation! But great is Congress and
Thad. Stevens is its prophet!

its author handles without gloves,

doubtless, a very full, fair and able ex-
