Some people think it il a clcrgyman's
business to furnish a notice of any mar
riage ceremony he performs for publica-
ton in the newspapers. 1t is not unless
it is made so by special request of the
parties, and then they should give him
half a dollar to pay the printer with
Some people also think it a great lack of
enterprise in a newspaper if every marri-
age is not at once and fully published in
its columns. Wrong, again getting mar
ried is a purely personal and private af-
fair. If the married man don't send a
notice to the newspaper Office for publica-
ton, with pay for its insertion, it may
safely be presumed that he doesn't choose
to have his friends get word of his happi.
ness in that way.-Fres Pres.

xE The subject of taxation over
which the Legislature are pzzling their
brains to an unwonted degree, is not an
easy one to regulate and render equal.
One Of the first steps to be taken, no
doubt, is, to insist upon a more truthful
appraisal of real estate. So long as real
estate is allowed to go upon the list at
one.third of its real value, owners of per.
sonal property will endeavor to secue ex-
emption from the burdens of an evidently
unjust system of taxation which places
their property in the list at its full value
and their neighbours at one-third its val
ne And it is not strange that their esti.
mate of the amount that should be with
held, is an exceedingly liberal one. There
is no way to reach anything like equality
and fairness but to appraise all property
st its cash value and exempt none what
ever. A law should be enacted, and en-
forced too, requiring all persons subject
to taxation to give in to the listers a
schedule of all the property possessed by
them with an oath executed and attached
thereto, mourning severe penalties fol
failing to render Il correct statement
Then all exemptions can be deducted
When we throw around the system all the
guards possible, then we shall have
enough of hardship and inequality.

- The Legislature is discussing the
proposition to Professionally re.district the
state on the supposition that Vermont is
to lose one Member Of Congress, some
time. That is, they propose to be ready
for a contingency which may possibly oc.
eur next year. We would suggest to the
'' assembled wisdom that while they are
about it they had better provide for an.
other contingency. 1t is possible we may
have an earthquake, next spring, which
will sink the whole Green Mountain
range and in its place produce a large in
land sea. Now, they should provide for
the stocking of this lake with the best va
%rieties of fish, and enact laws for the reg
ulation Of navigation, make appropria-
tious for the building of docks, &c.
