The Diamond Dickens.

OLIVER TWIST, PIcTUREs FROM ITALY
AND AMERICAN NOTES. is the
eleventh volume of MIR. Dickens works
rs beautiful in type, illustrations, and
and binding as its predecessors Oliver
Twist is made to pass uncontaminated
through scenes of evil, and the novelist
strips vice of its false glitter, wherein
Dickens differs from Bulwer and some
other writer's. In this volume appear
the American notes which so dam
mayed Boz in the regards of many
good people especially persons who never
read them. We have just given them
a. fresh pursual. and we must confess that
we cannot find the occasion for the ancient
outcry. He found some things to blame
and some to laugh at. He blamed fairly
and laughed heartily, aud We showed the
wounds in our vanity. He is today the
most popular literary man on the CONT
neGt: he will be heartily welcomed in
his approaching visit. and we hope
on his return give us second series of
Notes" IN T. Christian Attrocate.
The cost of each one of the beautiful
Illustrated Diamond Dickens is only 81, 50
plain edition 81 ,25. 1t can be procured
of any bookseller, or will be sent post
paid by the publishers Ticknor and

EDS TRIBUNE
Many persons suppose that if they are
not called upon by the Assessor for their
Income or other tax they thereby escape
all liability: this is great error: The
duty first devolves upon the taxpayer to
call upon the Assessor and make returns
to him of all articles or things liable to
any kind of tax, and failure so to do
lays them liable to the penalties of the
law and it is the duty of the Assessor to
prosecute all violations or eyasions of the
same.
Persons owning or having the care of
any carriages valued at over $500. anv
silver ware kept for use of more than 40
ounces in weight, or any watch made
wholly or in part of gold or gilt, who fail
to make returns Of the same or fail to re-
turn any income liable to tax are liable
to a fine of $500, and Imprisonment and
the undersigned having registered an oath
to take care that the laws shall be faith
fully executed. taxpayers are respectfully
requested to take notice.

OUR TWO RIVER LETTERS.
Two RIVERS Nav 18th 1868.

EDS TRIBUNE:-
Two Rivers enjoys tranquil repose ::
repose equaled only by the serene compo-
sure of her little streams flowing calmly
forth to lose their individuality in the bo-
som Of Lake Michigan. Our village suf-
fers no modern innovations to mar the
uniformity of her medieval semblance.
No thoroughfares, no "cars rafting over
stony Streets no puff nor snort of loco
motive announcing the arrival or depar-
ture Of freighted trains: no hustle, tu-
mutt, nor throng of business sink her to
the vulgar level Of great cities. She has
a holy horror Of all communicating infu-
ences, and holds but very limited in
tercourse with the busy world, that she
may preserve intact her primevaI purity.
Therefore the only lines of communica-
ton she indorses are those presided over
by 4. Il. Goodrich and Tom Windiate,
in whose model morality she has abiding
faith.
The village election was held On the
9Th inst. DR.. Jno. Oswald vas chosen
President; f. Krause, Treasurer: E.

FIRE.-On Monday morning last. at
halt past seven, fire was discovered in
the kitchen of the two story house, cor
ner Of Park and Seventh Sts., occupied
by Mr.. Henry Wilcox and owned by
Chas. Ii. Walker Esq. The f. mily were
at breakfast when the smoke wa ned them
OF danger. Mr.. W. was away and not a
man could be found for some time. The
fire originated in the chimney and had a
good start before it was discovered. The
Engines were soon on the ground but
only one-Badger No WAS used. Wa
ter was obtained from Mr. J. E. Platt $
cistern, and for an hour constant stream
of water was poured on the fire which
finally had to give away. We have sell
dom seen one engine do better than this
did The whole Department worked
with a will and the fire was entirely con-
fined within the walls, though the roof
was burned of.
The damage to the building isestimated
at 81 800, ins'red in the Phoenix of Hart
ford Conn. for Sl.20O Mr.. Wilcox S
loss must be in the neighborhood of 800
from damaged furniture. No Insurance.
just here we wish again to call the at
tention OF our Village Board to the fact
there are no public cisterns on the hill !:
and the probability is that half the town
VIII burn down before anything is done
to remedy the evil.

business interests Of the place so long
that his absence will be widely felt, more
especially as he had hosts of warm person
al friends His disposition was mild and
quiet, and he was generous to a fault.
He was loveng husband and kind father
Few, in any community, were better liked.
1t is but a few days since we saw him
engaged in his regular avocations and we
did not think but what his chances were
for long life and usefulness, but alas, who
can tell what the future has in store for
us or our fricuds!
The funeral took place yesterday at
two o. clock. "A Lodge of Free Masons
of which the deceased was member In
good standing, attended in a body, and
buried their brother according to the
rites of the mystic order.
The high esteem and respect of our
citizens for the deceased wasamply shown
by the concourse that assembled at the
Episcopal Church, to listen to funeral
sermon by Rev. T. B. Dooley, and by the
large procession that followed his re-
mains to their last resting place.
Mr.. Jones leaves wife and one child
May it comfort them in their sore be-
reavement to know that he was loved and
honored by our citizens. 4>t l--tJllL

| have to record at this time two fun

on Saturday. Mr. Rhode died on Thurs
day last at u clock p. m. of lung fever.
The funeral services under the charge of

the occasion.
In the way of accidents I have but lits
