COMMODORE EANDERBtIT-Com

year, Is one of the handsomcst men in
New York. He mas skin and complex
ion almost as fair as woman. He dresses
very neatly, always wears a white cravat.
and ministerial cut coat, and would be
taken by ninety-iiine in hundred for a
preacher Though regarded as head
strong, very scli-willed aud unscrupulous,
he nevertheless has the reputation of al
ways doing exactly what he agrees to do.
Though having such vast interests ON his
hands, there is probably no business man
who has more leisure So systematic and
thorough are his business habits that he
is always ready for drive in the park by
three o'clock in the afternoon. He always
drives himself, and takes delight in dis
tancing everything on the road except
Robert Bonner's nags, which he finds a
match for his own. He spends nearly cv-
cry week day evening at the clubs, play
ing poker or whist, TO which he is passion
ately devoted.

run from his sugar place he called on a
parishioner and told him that while every

Providence frowncd on his trees: they
gave little sap and very queer sugar. The
parishioner visited the minister's orchard,
aud found spruce, hemlocks, birch, and all
suitable large trees included in his opera

SION that somebody besides Providence
was to blame.

FIRST MONDAY IN APRIL,

Enter upon the performance of his official duties
for the current year. He would call particular at
tention to the following section of the Revenue
Law:
''If any person shall wilfully make, or give,
under oath affirmation false list of his, her,
their taxable property, false list of taxable
property under his, her, their control, such per-
son shall be deemed gnilty of perjury, and upon
conviction thereof. shall be punished therefor, as
is by law provided for the punishment of perjury
and any property willfully concealed, removed,
transferred, or misrepresented by the owner any
agent thereof. to evade taxation, shall upon dis
covery, be assessed at ten times the amount of tax
for that year, which would otherwise have been
assessed upon 1t and fifty per cent. of the amount

information which reveals the property conceal

remaining fifty per cent, after deductng the usual

Treasury, for the benefit of the Common School
Fund of the State.
Attention is also directed to the following section
of the Act of 1866, relating to Shasta county:
" The Assessor of said county is authorized and
it is hereby made his duty to collect all the poll
per capita tax except the road poll tax, and the
taxes upon all movable personal property and upon
the entry of any assessment of movable personal
property to any person, firm, corporation, associa-
ton. company. who does not real estate

the payment of such tax within the county, to de-
mand the payment Of the taxes upon the same
and if such person, firm. corporation, association,
or company shall refuse neglect to pay such
taxes, the Assessor shall, by virtue of the power
herein vested in him, proceed to collect such taxes
in the same manner prescribed by law for the Col
lector."
If Tax Payers were to have list Of their pro-
perty prepared, ready to be sworn to, as the law
directs, by the time of my reaching them, they
would thereby perhaps save themselves much an

Caution to the Unfortunate.

Beware of the San Francisco quacks and pre-
tenders who, with bogus sworn-to certificates dupe
the unwary Some of the self-styled doctors,
whose names to be found in the daily and
weekly newspapers of San Francisco and other
places, are tradesmen and became too lazy to work
at their trades. Some are tinsmiths, shoemakers,
newspaper carriers, intelligence office keepers, &C.
Look over the San Francisco directory and you
will not find their Medical Institutions in it. Look
at the Directory for 1862 and 1858 The only way
avoid imposition is to make inquiry-it will cost
you nothing, and may save you many regrets !; for,
advertising physicians in eight cases out of ten
are bogus there is safety in trusting any of
them until you know who and what they are. DR..
Gibbon does not deceive people by exhibiting bogus
titles. certificates, pretended patients letters. &c.
Dr. Gibbon will satisfy persons who may call at
his office of his ability to treat diseases that he
proposes to cure.
Consultation FREE.
Correspondents will please inform DR.. Gbbon
that they read his advertisement in the Shasta
COURIER. apply
