p~ Women possess the right to
vote more extensively than IL gener-
ally supposed. In Austria women
can vote as mobiles, in their corporate
capacity as nuns, and as tax payers.
In some cases, however, they vote
by proxy. In Hungary. up to 1S4S,
widows, and single women who were
landed proprietors, possessed the
right to vote. They were deprived
of it by the revolutionary Govern
ment, and are now petitioning for
the restoration of this right. In
Canada, as in several of our OWL
States, women are allowed to vote
for and serve rs school trustees. In
the British Australian colony OF
Victoria, women universally assum-
cd right TO vote about four years ago
having found that the law had been
go framed AZ to permit them. In
Sweden, chiefly through the exertions
of the late Fredrika Bremen, an Inc
direct right of voting was in 1862
granted to all women possessing
specified property qualifications. In
Italy widow. or wife aorsrated
from her husband, may vote if she
pays taxes. Also, in Foil, ad, single
women possessing property are en-
title 10 vote on all questions likely
to affect it's value. In many town,
in France women possess and exer'
cise the right TO vote in municipal
affairs.

valuation total of some towns and
deducting from others. Their rate
table appears in the Herald this
week. We have been trying to OBJ

information at length, with their
reasons. Present, Jared Warner,

The assessors are preparing new
lists of property for 1869. with the
valuation thereof; and also of per
sonai property. The law requires
them to assess st full and fair value.
We shall soon see and report how far
they respect their official oath.
Their lists are to exhibit the rich

mans poverty. We shall see and re-
port how true they are to justice.
