work. Mrs. S. G. Underwood, had seye.
ralarticles of domestic manufacture, among
them an roderedbtd spread. A beau-
tiful boquet of worsted flowers. by Miss
Susie L. Leach. A very pretty box in
bead and worsted work by Miss Lizzie

by Mrs, L. s. Sabin of Saxtons River was
neat piece of work, as was also a worst
ed tidy and bead work by Miss PAMELA

were attractive, as was some worsted work
by Mrs. X. S. Stafford from The same place,
and embroidery, worsted and bead work
by Miss Nj. Kimball Saxtons River. Mrs.
James May of Westminster had some
beautiful wreaths and cross of amarahths
and evergreens. A worsted wreath by
Miss 4. Rcdheld of Cambridgeport, was
by no means among the least of TIE pretty
things. MIS-. Hemmenway OF Saxtons
River also had one; and Miss Marion
Kimball from that place exhibited beau
tiful basket of shells and moss. There
was an interesting collection of insects
presented by Mr.. C. A. Dickinson of
Westminster, and host of other things
of equal merit TO those mentioned above
In fine We think Floral Hall has seldom
been so well filed, and we can only regret
our inability TO make more particular and
detailed mention.
Among the miscellaneous articles was
neat rosewood burial ca>ket by G. L.
Brown of B,attleboro, to whom was
awarded premium.
On Nthe second DAY of the fair HENRY
CLARKE, Esq, Of Rutland, delivered an
address, which was received with much
favor and interest, in which he exhorted
farmers to take counsel of past experience
and less from theories. The address was
one Of marked ability showing much
research, and favored ample protection to
American industry.
The society reelected their old officers,
a deserved compliment to their enterprise
and management, and thus closed one of
the best and most successful of Windhsm
County agricultural exhibitions.

To Members Of the Legislature
and the Public.

he approaching session of the Legis-
lature promises TO be one of unusual in
terest, because of the various railroad and
other questions affecting almost every part
of the State. The question Of empower
ing towns TO incur Indebtedness for rail-
roads will doubtless receive sharp scrutiny,
and be 20 settltd that in future it cannot
be disturbed. 1t is probably the mos, i'm
portant question of the session. We pro
pose, as usual, to give complete summa-
ry Of legislative proceedings and debates.
in both our daily and weekly editions
as this office is the only Republican flee
that procures such reports, we trust Re-
publican Members of the Legislature will
assist us by patronage in making up the
expenses which no other paper incurs in
legislative reports, for their convenience
and the public's.

MONTPELIER, Sept. 20, 1867.
The Shasta courier., 1867-12-21

UNJUsT.-rhe last number of the Red Bluff
Sentinel contains some severe structures on
the Oregon and California Stage Compa-
ny, which we think unjust and altogether
uncaled for. Now. it is very easy for an
editor to sit in his office and fad fault with
the management of mail line, regardless of
storms or swollen streams. 1t is well known
that during portion of last week Feather
river could not be crossed at Orovile, and
hence the delay in delivering the mails. We
have noticed of late that in every instance in
which the mails have been detained, the
employees of the company have used every
pos ,ible exertion to speedily remedy the
difficulty in order to send the mails through
at the earliest possible moment. When the
stage and team was lost in Coffee Creek,
few days ago, Road Agent Mayhem drove
from here through food and storm, to the
scene of disaster. in order to replace the team
and perfect such arrangements as were neces-
sary to get the mails through without delay.
For our part we think the Stage Company
deserves credit for its general efficiency. Be
just, neighbor.

COFFEE CREEK SLouGH.-According to the
statement of the driver and passengers, the
freshet which swept the Yreka stage down
Coffee Greek Slough came down so sudden as
to surprise them while in the act of crossing
the stream. When the stage arrived at the
ford, the driver got down and examined the
slough, and satisfied himself that there was
no danger to be aoprehended in crossing it,
He then drove into the stream, and finding
the water at fordable stage, was cougratu
lating himself on his good fortune, when.
with loud roar and sudden rush. heavy
volume of water came laundering down the
slough. and striking the stage and team,
swept them rapidly down stream. The gen.
eral supposition is that the strong current in
Coffee Creek had swept a great quantity of
logs, brush. and floating debris into the head
of the slough, causing a large drift to form.
and that this drift prevented a heavy current
of water from passing into the slough until
it gave way and caused the slough to sudden
ly overflow.

SATURDAY, MORNING, DEC. 81, 1867.

\ New LAMP.-J. r. Gilbert, of this place.
has just received a new style of lamp, which
is superior to anything in that line we have
yet seen. As night lamp it has no equal,
can be handled without the least danger, and
is cheaper and cleaner than oil or candles.
The lamp is made Of brass, and is filled
inside with cotton. The fluid used-known
as lucine-is poured in, and when the cotton
is well saturated, is poured out again. thus
leaving no loose fluid in the lamp. On Mon.
day night last, at G O'Clock. we lit one of
these lamps, and it burnt without intermis
sion until o clock on Tuesday morning.
When extinguished it was burning as bright
ly as when lit thirteen hours previously

hiddletOn's Bill to Repeal the Nor,pape
Tax.

We trust that the Legislature will give a
favorable consideration to that bill intro
dnced by Mr.. Middleton, to repeal the fool
ish, unequal and pernicious tax on mort
cages Ii has never yielded anything of n te
To the public treasury, and it is to be hoped
that 1T never will. The State would lose far
more by the crippling Of business tan it
c"u'd gain by the collection of the tax. A
mortgage is an encumbrance on land an
IN interest IN it; re Indirectly in the
title. The State should not assess the land
at Its full value, and then assess the mort
sage debt too. Together they make only one
Complete title. If A has purcha-ed Of b IA
tract Of land worth 81 600. and has paid only
S3Oo, giving mortgage for the remainde,
there is 70 Justice in compelling A To pay II
tax on 81 500. The taxable property involv-
ed Is only 81. 900. and no more can be made
out of it. If b is to be taxed for the $500
ont on interest, then A should be taxed only
5000 for his defective title. The law suppn
ses that the mortgagee is to pay the tax on
the mortgage, but as IL matter of fact, all
the mortgages are made so as TO provide th't
the mortgager shall pay. if payment Is
necessary, and thus an attempt is made to
make the property pay double instead of a
single tax. Let us suppose that two neigh
bors make a bond that one shall sell his farm
to the other for $40 600. Ia fair market prce)
at the end of year is either party richer
after making the bargain? Is there any
reason for compelling one to pay tax on
twice as much as before the bond was made?
Yet the legal effect may be very similar to
that of ii mortgage.
Mortgages occupy a very important place
in the business of San Francisco. and anv
obstacles thrown in their way will prove
detrimental to the progress of California
There are now SIS, 900, 900 loaned on mort
cages here; so much advanced to enter
prise and industry, bv persons who are not
IN position to use their means advantageous
iy. Both the borrower and lender are ben
efitted. Nearly every building of any note
in the city has been erected with the aid of
mortgage and not one half of them could
have been erected otherwise
The Supreme Court seem to have dis
like to the question. They have had re,
peated opportunities to decide it. but the let
ter of the law is on one side. and Justice and
policy on the other, so they postpone their
decision. The amount of tax annually as
sessed on the mortgages is about half mil
hon. and as no payment has been made,
there must be three million dollars or more
nominaly due from that source; but if it
were collected would probably cause some
BANKRUPTCIES and much confusion and the
better way is to repeal the tax and order the
dismissal of all suits for its col lection

WOMAN KILLED BY Drunken BRUTE.-
The Amador Ledger of Saturday says:
On "Wednesday night, Mrs. Foster. a
widow lady, residing in Sutter Greek, wa'
killed by man called Eureka John. =
The circumstances. as we hear them are
these: 1t seems that the man had been
drinking, and went to the house of the lady.
and was met at the front door by Mrs. Allen,
a daughter of the deceased, and told not to
come in, and shut the door in his face. Mrs.
Allen went into another room where her
baby was, and John went to the kitchen
door and entered the house. Mrs. Foster
told him to leave the premises. when he
struck her with his fist breaking her neck,
causing instant DEATH John is in jail.

SooTr's fBALL.-From all the indications
we can gather, Scott's ball, on the evening of
January lst, promises to be a well attended
and decidedly successful affair. Ample pre-
da,ion of large assemblage, and all who
attend can depend upon receiving every
attention calculated to contribute to their
given on the occasion of the re opening of the
Empire Hotel for the accommodation of the
public, it is to be hoped that the proprietor
will be encouraged in his enterprise by a
general turn out on the part of our citizens.

NOT UNDER THE BArTERY.-When Jollia i
Dosh were running their mill, at Muletown,
last fall, number of persons affirmed that
they lost the greater portion of the gold un
der the battery The rock falling to pay,
they concluded to tear up the battery and see
how much gold had escaped. On making a
thorough clean up. they found eight dollars,
which satisfied them that their gold had
escaped in some other manner.

Haight has appointed J. b. Crockett to fill

nounce him as having deliberately betrayed

This is not the first time Shafter has proved
false. Ia the late campaign he showed his
utter recreancy and want of principle by
supporting and voting for that immensely
popular candidate, Caleb L. Fay.
