- AS the time expires this week
in which annual revenue taxes are
payable at par, we again call atten-
ton to the advertisement of the
Collector showing that penalty
of 5 per centum accrues on the 10Th,
upon all unpaid income, license,
watch and carriage taxes. Very
many yet remain unpaid, and we
trust our readers will appreciate the
situation and either attend to it at
once, or prepare to make Uncle
Sam. a present of 5 per cent. with
out grumbling.

There is no Marshal in Washing
ton and cumming can be carried on
with comparative impunity. Last
Sunday a drunken fellow was max
ing a good deal Of unnecessary dis
turbance on the street, but there
was no Marshal to look after him,
and he was allowed to continue un-
til he turned his attention to fright
ening horses as they passed along
the street, and came near causing a
runaway, when couple of citizens
seized the gentleman and took him
to the lookup.

- The Commissioners of this

- The Commissioners of this
county, we learn, have ordered the
width Of the several turnpikes lead
ing into this town to be increased
four feet, except the Jeffersonyille
road. There was a proposition be-
fore the Commissioners to q
the width Of that road, but the
proposition was defeated by re-
monstrance. Where the roads are
already graded, they are not
to be widened at present We
are well convinced that the original
width, 80 feet, is too narrow, and
that they will yet have to be made
five or six feet wider, in order to
give room for loaded wagons to
pass on so high road, comforta-
bly, and safely.

dered; viz; The grading and gray
cling of the road from West Jeaer-
son to Pleasant Valley, via. West
Canaan. The road from London to
Lafayette. The road from New
port via Danville to Madison and

"A rascal attempted to swindle
the people of Chillicothe, recently,
under the pretense of being an agent
from q company in Cincinnati, who
desired to establish a Rolling Mill
at the "Ancient Metropolis" He
procured the required amount of
stock, made arrangements for the
necessary grounds, and the railroad
literally agreed to build a switch two
miles. But in order to carry out his
designs, he must needs have money,
and applied for a loan of the need
full, whereupon there was sudden
of eyes among the duped
stockholders. The gentleman was
then recognized by detective Rainey
as an old offender, of the "conf-
dence' class, and was advised that
the sooner he left the city, the bet
ter He acted upon this advice.

yet result from this attemt to swim

people there are ready to invest
their capital in an honest endeavor

occupied the desk Of the Baptist Church in

peal for contribution in aid of the Colored
Ministerial Institute Of New Orleans of which
he has charge. Some of the colored preach

ministry; but he said it was paralleled during
the early days of Maine, in Illustration OF
