A l.oNG.TRIED HOUSEHOLD FRIEND.-Lcttcr
from Mrs Henry Ward Observation-Disclosures
It gives me the greatest pleasure to add my tes-
tlmony to the unrivalled excellence OF Grover
& Bakers Sewing Machine. 1t is, in my opinion,
by far the most valuable of any L have tried.
The thorough operation of it is most easy and
simple, and its unobtruslVe and quiet move
ments are very grateful to weary head. The
work when done is wonderful in its strength.
More than two thirds of all the sewing done in
nv family for the last two years has been done
by Grover & Bakers Machine, and Ihaye never
had @ garment rip or need mending, except
those rents which frolicSome boys will make in
aObole cloth, and for them your machine has,
suppose, no remedy but patch or darn.
Honestly appreciating the excellencies of your
machine as fully as have here stated, could
give it no higher praise than the fact, that when
my only daughter married gave her this long
tried household friend, depriving myself of its
services to tighten her first assumption OF do
mestic duties. / can manage any machine
comfortably, but my daughter was never willing
to use any but Grover & Bakers.

MEETING OF COMMITTEE FOR EXAMINATION OF
EXEMPTED PRoPERTY.-The Committee of the
Legislature for the exam nation of claims for
exempted property met this morning at 10
O'Clock, in the Chamber of Select Council The
Committee is composed of William s. Gregory,
ESQ., Chairman, and Messrs. James N Kerns
George DeHaven, w. NJ. WorTah and Samuel
Josephs. Mr.. George w. Moore acted as Secre-
tary. The object of the Committee is to ex-
anime the claims OF persons representing ex-
empted properly in reference to said exemp-
ton. IL is proposed to frame an ordinance that
shall prohibit all property from being exempted
from taxation from which a revenue is derived
from outside sources. Thus, ere are churches
that rent out part of their buildings for busi-
ness purposes. There are also fire companies,
library companies, orders of secret societies,
etc, many of which derive a revenue. more or
less in extent, by the rental of parts of their
buildings for other purposes.
IT is proposed to amend the present law, so
that only That part that is applied strictly for
the purposes specified in the claim for eXemp-
tion should be so exempted, or even to do away
with the whole system and make all institu-
tions of whatever class, pay their ratio of taxa
ton.
The Pennsylvania Institution for the Deaf
and Dnmb which was assessed at $4,000, has a
rental value OF Sl50000. The Children's Hos
nitai at TWENTY. Second and Locu t streets is
assessed at sos 0O0 and its actual value is S33000
So it goes on through The list and II is found, in
almost every case that the assessed value Is far
below what 1t is actually worth, II put into the
market.

The fact is, that saloons and groggeries are filled
