The Dubuque Herald says that
whole fields of grain in Western
Iowa have been stripped of their
crops by immense focks of pigeons.
One farmer residing two miles east
of Independence had sown three
acres Of wheat. and was preparing
to harrow it in, when the pigeons
made their appearance and gobbled
up every kernel before he could
get it covered. Some fields con-
tanning forty acres were absolutely
covered With pigeons, and although
the sportsmen waged an incessant
warfare against them, and killed
great numbers, their places we're
soon supplied by others.

When it is remembered that DIR.

manner in which the body was
preserved. 1t was placed in q

The Right Of City Corporations to Tax
Railroad Companies

On Thursday last, we learn from the Rich
mond Dispatch, the Court OF Appeals OF Vir-
ginia heard, in that city, an appeal from the
Circuit Court of Alexandra, the object OF
which was 20 test the power of the City Coun.
Gil of Alexandria 10 tax the real and personal
property Of he Orange and Alexandria Rail-
road Company in that city. Tne Council laid
a tax for the year 1859 OF one hundred cents on
every hundred dollars on all the property
real and personal, of the city. The real and
personal property of the railroad company was
asse ssed for taxation and levied on by the officer
the Council TO recover damages for the injury
The facts were agreed on by the parties, and
the csse was submitted 10 the decision OF the
court. The grounds on which the railroad
company resisted the tax were 1. That
the act OF March IS, 1856, chapter IS, session

railroad companies, and exempted them from
other taxes, whether State or corporation g
That :he council OF the city had no authority
to tax the engines and other rolling stock OF
the company. IL was agreed that the princi-
pal ofhce, the work shops, the corporate funds,
and the regular meetings of the directors of the
company, are all in the city Of Alexandria and
that the engines. DC, Were repaired and kept
there when not in actual use.
The court Judges Moncure and Joynes)
held, first, that the act of March Is, 1856, did
not apply TO taxes by corporations, but was
confined 10 State taxes, and therefore the prop-
erty OF the company in the city was liable 10
be taxed by the council: second, that the en-
glnes and rolling stock were, under the facts
agreed, liable to taxation by the city council.
