that the tax on each Insurance Company not in
cOrporated in this state, doing business therein,
| shall be at least 34O0.
II three per cent. on the premiums received,
&c, excoed $4OO. then tho Company is hound for
| such three per cent.
The Agents OF the Companies IN the sever al
UOuutes will pay the Hherlfls three per cent. on
the premiums, &c When tha return shall be
made to the 1roasurer, il it hall appear that tho
aggregate amount paid by all the Agents of any

The Companies must pay one per cent. on pre-
miums, &c, received up to LIST April, 1869, and
three per cent on the same since that time.
1t will be noticed that the tax on Insurance
Companies has been transferred from Schedule
Z. to Shedule b., and hence is payable to the
Sheritfs, not to Public Treasurer, it was last
year. If the Sheriff shall suspect that the In
| surance Agent will leave the County before &C
counting with hin, he ought to make the Agent
give bond and security, conditioned to pay the
| taxes as required by law
| Very respectfully,

manner peculiar to the shark. In their
attempt to escape the nets were badly rent
