SIR: Yours of 9Th has been received.
When merchant renders his quarterly
statement, if it is found that he has actually
purchased more than his estimate, he must
paw tax ON the excess. If less, the County
Commissioners can rectify the error
The Sheriffs should not refund without
order OF County Commissioners. But as the
estimate is for tile whole gear, is is hardly
worth while to trouble about rectifying es-
Inmates until the end of the fourth, OF at
anv rate of the third quarter.
I'd. Merchants pay al valorem tax on their
m merchandise money and other capital on
hand list of April. They pay license tax on
purchases estimated for the coming year. 1
find no authority tor requiring further tax
on income or on purchases for year prior to
April LIST, 1869.
Very Respectfully.

This wear the Fourth of July falls on Sun

This year the Fourth of July falls on Sun
day. The usual custom in such cases is to
observe the day after the. anniversary, which
would be Monday, but some of the New
York journals are in favor of keeping Satur-
day the 3rd, instead The advantage of
the recommendation is that if Saturday be
kept as holiday Sunday would follow as a
day of rest, and the new week would be en-
tered upon unbroken.

SOLDIER KILLED.-Ou Monday
night a row occurred in house Of i'll
fame in this city, which rescIuted
in the death of Peter Vogle, soldier.
AS near as we are able to learn the
facts, they are as follows: The
soldiers had just received their pay,
and wcro enjoying Jolly old spree.
A lately discharged soldier visited
the house of i'll fame, but was not
welcome. He had some words with
the woman, and also with William
Tracy, who was ''in posession," when
Tracy orderded the soldier to leave,
which he did, but remarked that be
"would return with parties who
who would make him (Tracy) leave" "
Some time after this several soldiers
accompanied by the first mentioned
came to the house, and showed sight
that they had come expressly for a
row. Tracy told them not to come
near him, but they used threatning
language and started as if they in.
tend to take hold of him, when he
fred and the shot took effect in the
breast of Peter Vogle. Tracy fred
three shots. This is one side. The
other side is to the effect that it was
a wilful murder. The soldiers enter.
ed tho house and were met by Tracy
with a revolver. Tracy remarked
"I've been waiting for you d-n sons
of b-s,' and instantly shot VOgle.
We are not prepared to say which is
the true state of the case, as the
courts must decide. Tracy surren,
dered himself to Sheriff Branstetter
yesterday morning, and is in Jail
awaiting trial. The death of Vogle
being made known at the garrison,
Col Sinclair, Lieut. McTaylor aud an
armed squad made a descent upon
town, and arrested the woman, a
man named Kelly and one named
Keiser, and took them to the Fort

THE FIREslDE CHAIRS.
HUSBAND TO WIFE.


The daylight gains upon the night,
Aud birds are out in later fight;
'Tis cold enough to spread our hands,
Once now aud then, to glowing brands.
SO now we two are here alone
TO mak quite hour our own,
Wen take, with face to face, once more
Our places on the warm hearth floor,
Where you shall have the window Vie6
Outside, and can look or you.
When first 1 brought you home, my
bride,
In yellow glow of summer.tide,
| wanted you to take q chair
On tha: side of the 6re-out there
And have the ground and sky in sight,
With face against the window light;
While /, back here, should have my
brow
In shade, and sit where l am now
That you might see land outside,
And | might look on you, my bride.
And there the gliding waters spread,
BY waving elm trees overhead,
Below the hill that slopes above
The path, along the high-treed grove,
Where shighing winds once whispered
down
Our whispered words and there's the
crown
OfDunclffe hill, where widening shades
OF timber fall on sloping glades
So you enjoy the green and blue
Without, and | will look on you.
And there we pulled, within the copse,
With nutting. crooks the hazel tops,
That now arise, unleaVed and black,
Too thin to keep the wind-blast black /;
And there's the church, and spreading
lime.
Where we did meet at evening-time,
In clusters, on beaten green,
10 glee, to see and to be seen;
All old sights, welcomer than new,
And looked on as looked on you.

GENTLE MOTHER.

As to her lips she lifts the lovely boy
What answering looks of sympathy and
joy
He walks, he speaks. In many broken
word,
His wants, his wishes, and his griefs ar e
heard
And ever, ever to her lap he flies,
When rosy sleep comes on with sweet
surprise.
Locked in her arms, his arms across her
flung
That name most dear, forever on his
tongue
AS with soft accents round her neck be
clings,
And, cheek to cheek, her lulling song
she sings,
How blessed to teel the beatings of his
heart,
Breathe his sweet breath, and kiss for
kiss impart;
Watch DER his slumbers, like the brood
ing dove,
And, ifshe can, exhausta mothers lovel

RADIoALIsM SNUBBED.-SeWard,
in his speech at Salem, administered
the following rebuke to Williams and
the small fry radicals, who have been
constantly endeavoring to enlist our
people in the local jealousies of other
communities. If Williams hide is
not as thick as that of rhinoceros,
be will blush on reading the follow
ing paragraph:
"Nor would you hasten the future
of your State, which l regard as the
common interest of the whole repub
lie, by suffering yourselves to be in-
volved as partisans in the local and
personal passions, ambitions, and
jealousies of other communities. Nc
State or nation has ever fourished
that was unsocial, inhospitable, OIL
intolerant. Your statesmen in the
national council, if they are wise,
will foster and cultivate harmony
and peace equally with all foreign
nations, insisting at the same time,
as is their right, upon a policy al
home and abroad which shall be ad-
apted to the interests of the Pacific. y

THE FAIR.

The Fourth Annual Fair Of the Walls
Walla Valley Agricultural Society will
Commence At Roberts Grove, on TO,
morrow "wednesday and will continue
four days. On all sides we hear it stated
that the attendance at the Fair will b
unusually large, and that quite q nun
Der Of strangers will be here, and that
for the purpose Of satisfying themselves
BY actual inspection as to the character
Of our productions, and the inducemeuts
this Valley holds out to settlers from
abroad. It is true that this year, owing
to the drouth, our crops are lighter than
usual but Notwithstanding this draw
back, our production is greatly in sd-
vance Of the worn.out soil OF the Allan
tic States, and fully up to the average
production Of the best agricultural dis.
tricts of Oregon and California. Il is
not necessary for our purpose to assign
a reason for this but certain it is, that
there is something in our soil or elm.
ate, or both together, that makes the
Walla Wklla Valley the most prod
agriculture district of which civilized
man has any knowledge. This is not the
statement of our own people alone; but
it is coroberated by the statements of
observing men who from time to time
have visited our Valley and reported
upon its resources. Mr.. Claxton, of the
Pacific Railroad survey, was struck
with the marvellous richness Of our soil,
and so his report bears ample testimony
to the fact that nowhere else is the
farmer so .icbly rewarded. Recognizing
these facts, it should be the pride OF our
farmers and settlers to turn out in full
force at the Fair, and bringing with
them specimens of their fruit, their
grain and stock, each of them in bis
way contribute to the interest of the ex.
hibition. 1t is an axiom, that "no man
lives to himself entirely, and public
spirit is usually the most direct road 10
private gain" Recognizing the truth
of this proposition, as matter OF self.
interest, to say nothing of public spirit,
it becomes ourproducing classes to con,
tribute all in their power toward the
success of the Fair. Money and time
thus expended, like bread cast upon
the waters, will be sure to return after
many days" AS contributing to. the
general wealth of the country, we hope
to see our mechanics and artisans better
represented than at previous exhibitions.
Our workers in wood, in iron, in leath.
er, and all the various branches of the
mechanic arts, should send in specimens
of their skill, and thus evidence their
interest in the general prosperity. Ia
many branches of the mechanic arts we
have workmen that cannot be excelled
and each and all of these
should regard it as q duty to exhibit
specimens Of their handicraft. And
finally having arranged for the proper
exhibition of the products of the soil,
our capacity for stock raising, and the
evidences Of our skill in the mechanic
arts, let US see to it that our wives and
children, our young men and maidens,
are out in full force, and by their pres.
euce add interest to the display. A great
