TAXATION.
Interesting Facts for Property
Holders.

The county Tax Assessors, seventeen
in number, were appointed January ii,
1869, and should have completed their
work and reported by the first Monday
in the following March. A portion of the
work was completed at the proper time,
both in the city and the county, but the
final order made in the books of the
County ommissioners for transferring
the assessments to the County Court
Clerk was not made until the 18th day Of
September. Mr.. League is at work on
the books, and will probably have them
ready for the Tax Collector by the first
Tuesday in January.
In the meantime, tax payers may rest
easy. The talk about renting the two
per cent, five per cent. and ten per cent
penalty for nonpsyment of taxes, on or
by the first days respectively of No
vember, December and January, is
breath wasted in vain. The law making
such penalties was passed in March,
1868, and was repealed by the Legisla-
ture in March, 1869. No penalty can
accrue until the Tax Collector advertises
property for sale, and then the penalty
is twenty-five per cent. The Tax Col
lector cannot advertise any property for
sale until after the May term of the Cir
cult Court for 1870. Our worthy Repre-
sentative Jones, we understand, intro
duced bill to relieve the people of the
penalty which many supposed they had or
would incur, but no such bill is
necessary. And if Mr.. Jones will call
on us the next time he comes to the city,
we will take pleasure in showing him the
act of last March abolishng the penal
ties established in an act passed March,
1868.
The people of Shelby county some
times find themselves peculiarly gov
erned. At times they are overtaxed, and
the Tax Collector is regarded as the very
genius of oppression. Then, again, they
cannot get to pay any taxes; and they
run'wildly around town with their pockets
full of county warrants ISSUED before
the 18th of October) and cry out. why
in the jimfsk don't that Tax C'lsctor
come around and show his lovely face
before county warrants get q back set p
such is life" as Major Jorney says in
FOrmosa.

Cure for the Bite of Mad Dogs

We have had several OppOrtuDI-
ties to fully test the chloride of zinc,
in solution, in such cases, and so far
as we are aware, we were the first to
use this agent. 1t may be said that
If the persons who had been bitten
by dogs and had been subjected to
its usa did not have hydrophobia,
the dogs were not mad Under
some circumstances it might be diff
ficult TO disprove this proposition,
but we do not propose to enter into
an argument upon the subject, but
to make q plain statement of facts.
In one case where three men were
bitten by the same dog, at the same
time, we subjected two TO the use of
the zine. They are both living at
the present time, although this OC-
Cured several years since, while the
third man who was not treated in
this way, die5 Of hydrophobia on the
fourteenth day. In another case a
gentleman, as we'll as COW and
horse, were bitten al the same time
by 4 rabid dog. We treated the man
with the zinc, he eth lives, while
the COW and horse both died within
fifteen days. We might give many
others eases Illustrative OF the effica-
cy OF this treatment, but we consider
these sufficient. The method which
We employ il "a follows: Make q sat
urated solution Of the chloride OF
zinc, and as soon Al possible after
the injury il sustained inject this in
TO any or all the wounds made by
the teeth of the animal; let II be
done with a small syringe and with
sufficient force TO bring the solution
