TOBACCO TAx.-The Woodsfeld Spirit
of Democracy says that dealer in leaf
tobacco in that county has received a
letter from Commissioner Rollins, stat
ing that persons buying leaf tobacco to
ship to Baltimore or elsewhere to be sold
by an agent, are exempt from taxation
thereon. We presume that dealers who
have paid such tax will be entitled to re-
cover back whatever amount they have
thus illegally paid, If dealers in our
county have paid such tax they should
take the necessary steps to get amount
they have paid.-Guermsey Times.

would be less, but as many capable per-
sons would be glad to accept the, situa-
tion, this arrangement would certainly be
better and cheaper than the periodical
efforts that are made TO start schools, GER
tainly better than having to engage a
teacher or governess in the family, and
far better and cheaper than sending your
children away to school.
Let the people take this matter into
consideration. Let the different Town
ships entertain the suggestion. One,
two, or three schools perhaps in each
Township, would be about our estimate,
and this number could be settled ac-
cording to the convenience of different
neighborhoods.
We certainly think that the people of
the County are waking up to the impor-
tance Of this matter, and by the organi-
cation of some such plan as the one pro-
posed, the blessings of good and
thorough education will he brought
home to all, brought down to suit the
means aud the convenience of every
one
We shall speak more Of this matter
anon, and would be glad to receive and
publish communications on the subject.

A correspondent furnishes the two
following methods for getting rid of
stumps: ky/ M
"Bore with a two-inch augur to the
heart of the centre; fill the cavity thus
made with sulphuric acid, or with crude
oil of petroleum. In the first case, the
acid becomes the destructive agent with
in few months; in the latter, when the
stump becomes saturated with the oil it
is fired, and will then burn out to the
last pafticle liko candle"
AS they appear feasible and incxpen-
sivc, we hope some Of our readers viii
give it trial and report upon it.

lowing article, whichlt to say the least of
1t, is very nicely put:
The bold and dariig attempt to muz-
xle the Mayor and the minority in the

parties, has resulted h good to our city,

ter of the men with whom Mr.. Pillsbury

ficers iu the city government, and place
in their stead cEss. of untried and
doubtless ENTHUSIASTICALLY men; the indie
cent haste to posseas the city treasury
by certain irresponsible and tried de-
faulters in small matters, alarmed the
honest people in ths party, and they
placed themselves across the treasury
door, BY refusing tamakc quorum to
do business, aud thus prevent, by their
absence, what their voice aud votes
could not in Counca, they have by alb

which things presented long anterior to
that time, they will dcscry Z spectacle
bearing closer resemblance Nto tyran-'
ny than aught we have seen since -the
advent of the new order of thingsN
Why tho time was once, when certain
mems opinions expressed, was tyranny
The poor men of this country (and it is
to them we are writing) have seen the
time when they would PROSTATE them
selves in senseless homage and obedience
to the will and opinions of those whom
tho world called rich those whom
wealth constituted leaders-this was ty-
ranny, this the only despotism we have
seen, and it has passed away.
The degree of confidence the msn of
this country have had in the importance
of their own individual capacity was too
meagre, was insufficient, and hence the
leadership recognized in others. The
time was--and we blush to say it-when
men were afraid to make known their
opinions, the course which their con-
science--thc "Oracle of God" pointed
out to them as the right ono They
would stifc the dictates of this wise
counselor-prefcr the direst penance,
rather than express or advocate doc.
trine which they knew would be antagon-
istic to the notions entertained by the
above mentioned class.
But the school of experience, which
some one says, Byron we believe, is the
best Of all possible schools, has taught
aud is teaching many to no longer depend
on those old leaders for guidance-they
are becoming conscious of the truth of
their Gown Immense Importance in the
realms of space" and the wisdom of fol-
lowing at all times and under all crcum-
stances the course whichever sccmeth
right to their minds, to ever submit
again to the impicty and unmanlincss of
recognizing in others and pot in them
selves, leader. Men will hereafter be
their own judges in matters, whether it
pleascs Mr.. This or That or not.
-Four years ago our country was at II
aanishW In the commercial and fnan-
cial world there was an era of retro
gression; the energy Of every depart
mcnt of our country was paralized and
incrt-now witness the difference. The
improvements, made on eEsExu hand-ths

And who is it can say that our =
try, in every respect, is not prospecting
more than she ever did, and OH Il more
solid basis.
Let us be patient, and ere long our
land will be able to boast of brighter
and more durable prosperity than she
has ever seen bciorc-a prosperity that
