Attention is also directed to the following section
Of the Act of 1866, relating to Shasta county:
" 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

property, to any person, firm, corporation, assoeia
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 or neglect to pay such
taxes, the Assessor shall, by virtue of the power
herein vested in him, proceed 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 as facilitate my work.

A Plea for a Mean Man.

The Missouri Republican has cores
pondent who undertakes the thankless task
of defending mean men. He endeavors to
prove, in an elaborate essay, the superior
ity of the =" mean man" to the ." good fell
low of our period. And, in good sooth,
he comes nearer to success in his task than
it is polite to acknowledge.
One thing that a mean man is remarka-
BILE for, is his reliability. Ask him to con-
tribute to testimonial to Podgers, or to
subscribe for the relief of Smuggs. He
says No. But he also acts No. lie don't
give cent, But put the same appeal to
good fellow, and he says, Certainly,
my dear boy Put me down for v"
And you do put him down for V, sub
sequently enjoying the privilege of making
the subscription good out of your own
pocket. For good fellow always says yes,
but never acts yes.
So far we have discoursod on the text
given by our topic. Now let the cores
pondent speak for himself:
Who makes the better husband? At
the risk of bringing down torrent of
maledictions on my unprotected head, l
shall still adhere to the man who is sup
posed to have no heart or genuine human
sentiment. The good fellow for lover,
the mean man for husband. The latter
will rob all creation to supply his house
hold the former will rob his family to
accommodate his friends. Form all the
married women in St. Louis, in a solid
column, up and down Fourth street, and
if l don't get ninety-nine votes out of one
hundred in favor of my proposition, I will
treat the drinking community to barrel
Of gin and water, on the occasion of the

opera in four-horse carriage; the other
rides triumphantly in street omnibus.
The good fellow" never can be cross to
anybody but his wife, for fear of making
himself unpopular; the "mean man" is
SO sour with all the rest of the world,
that he has not one particle of ill-temper
to spare at home.

His wife is never jealous. She knows all
women hate him because he is mean, and
she rather likes it. She laughs and grows

LADIES' LUGGAGE,

How happy is the single life
Of all the priests and monks
Not one of whom has got wife
To bother him with trunks
And bandboxes, a load too great
For any man or horse to bear,
Which railways charge for overweight,
And cabs ask double fare,
Fell care, as when your bride you post,
Distracts your anxious mind,
Lest this portmanteau should be lost,
Or that be left behind;
Her baggage as you travel down
Life's hill, weighs more and more,
And still, as balder grows your crown,
Becomes a greater bore.
Outstrctched by fashion vile and vain,
Hoops, petticoats, and vests,
Now stylish females to contain,
Require no end os chests
To which bags, baskets, bundles add,
Too numerous to name,
Enough to drive poor man mad.
Job with rage intlame.
The cab keeps swaying DER your head,
With baggage piled above,
Of overturn you ride in dread,
With ker whom you should love-:
Then you the station when you gain,
Must see the lumber slowed,
And fears about it in the train,
Your heart and soul corrode.
Thus does your wife each journey spoil
Of yours that she partakes,
Thus keeps you on the fret and broil
Your peace and comfort breaks,
With all these boxes, all her things,
How many?) to enclose
The fair incumbrance on you brings
4 wagon load of woes.

The following is a correspondence, said
to have taken place between an interesting
couple, which displays much ingenuity:
MADAME Most worthy of estimation,
after long consideration and much medita-
ton, of the great reputation you possess in
this nation, you have won my admiration,
and if such oblation is worthy of observa-
ton, and can obtain consideration, it will
be an aggrandization, beyond all calcula-
tion TO the joy and exultation of
Yours, SANS DISSEMINATION.
SrR:-I perused your ovation with much
deliberation, and little CONSERVATION, at
the great infatuation of your weak imagi-
nation, to show such veneration on so
slight foundation but after examination
and serious contemplation, suppose your
animation was the fruit of recreation, or
had sprung from ostentation to display
your education by odd enumeration, or
rather multiplication of words of the same
termination, though Of great variation in
each respective signihoatfon. Now with
out disputation, your laborious application
to SO tedious an occupation deserves COM
mendation, and thinking imitation a suf-
ficient qualification, | am, without hesita-
ton, Yours, MARY MODERATION.

Augusta County Fair.

Our next Fair begins on Tuesday Octobe
18th, and continues three days.
The marked success of the opening Fair las
Fall has create a very general interest in tn,
next and already many inquiries are heard a
to the progress made in the preparations.
We are gratified to be able to say that ths
arrangements In all the departments are in such
state Of forwardness as to insure most graf
flying exhibition in all the branches of produc
ton and industry, and a really refreshing so
cial gathering and festival for our people.
The appropriations of $500 by the Town
Council, and $1,000 by the County Court, fol
widening, grading, bridging and macadamising
the road to the Fair Grounds are being rapidly
and efficiently applied, and we shall have not
only pleasant approach to the Grounds du-
ring the Fair, but beautiful and attractive
drive for the enjoyment of our people the year
round.
The Grounds have been enlarged by the pur-
chase of six or seven acres Of additional land
in rear Of ''Gatherem Hail. giving most ample
accommodation for the temporary stables,
stalls, pens, &C., for the exhibition, and plenty
Of room for the carriages and other vehicles of
visitors.
A handsomely located and well graded road
has been made upon plane parallel with the
Trotting course, and about forty feet above it,
entering the Grounds on one hill and leaving
them on the other, so that visitors on foot or
In carriages may come and go, or pass to any
part Of the Grounds without crowding upon
the Trotting Course, or interfering with the ex-
hibition.
The Trotting Course has been widened to
full thirty feet at every point, and in other re-
spects much improved
A Rotunda eighty feet in diameter is nearly
completed, for the exhibition of wares in which
ladies feel more interest, and for promenade
and place Of meeting to make and renew ac-
qualntance among our people.
The old Tumble-down Cabin on the hill to
theleft of the gateway has been converted into
beautiful and graceful Gothic Cottage for the
residence of MIR. VIM. A. Pratt, the accom-
plished superintendent to whose energy and taste
We are all so much indebted for these improve |
ments
We think it will be agreed on all hands that
these preparations indicate, on the part of the
Directory, an earnest purpose to make our Fair
an institution worthy of our County and our
people.
The Programme of exhibition and amuse- |
ment is In all respects conformable to the high |
standard Indicated by the preparations We have |
described, but that must be the subject OF |
another notice when it is fully completed.
