FIRST MONDAY APRIL,

for the current year. He would call particular at
tention to the following section of the Revenue
Law:
"If any person shall willfully make, or give,
under oath or affirmation, false list of his, her,
their taxable property, or 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 wlfully concealed removed,
transferred, or misrepresented by the owner any
agent thereof, to evade taxation, shall upon dis
covery, be assessed at ten times the of tax
for that year, which would otherwise have been
assessed upon IT. and fifty per cent. of the amount
OF such additional tax when solicited shall be paid
to the person persons who shall furnish the
information which reveals the property conceal
ed, transferred removed or misrepresented, and the
remaining fifty per cent, after deductlng the usual
per centage for collection, shall be paid into the
Treasury, for the benefit of the Common School
Fund of the State"
Attention is also directed to the following section
of the Act of lS65-6, relating to Shasta county:
g 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 own real estate
sufficient in the opinion of the Assessor to insure
the payment of such tax within the county, to de-
mand the payment of the taxes upon the same ;
and if such person, frm 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
noyance, well facilitate my work.

An amusing little scene was witnessed by

An amusing little scene was witnessed by
q portion of the audience at fashionable
church in Utica, one recent Sunday evening
While the sermon was being delivered lady
deliberately removed her hat, took down her
back hair by the usual operation of removing
the comb, and taking out, one by one, sew
entv or eighty hair pins. The raven locks
fell upon her shoulders, and then people,
instead of attending to the sermon, looked for
the next movement; it came in several quite
satisfactory, enjoying movements ofthe con- b
down the back of the head and through the
hair. Instead of attending to the sermon,
people still continued to watch the lady
The hair was then gathered in both hands,
dexterously retwisted, the comb inserted
those seventy-fve hair pins replaced one by
one, the short hairs in the neck tucked under,
and finally the hat was resumed, and then
the lady turned her attention to the min
lister with greater ease and more zeal then did
the amused audience.

might also have quoted Lord Brougham's
