BURGLARS AGAIN.-Thcre are indica-
lions that our city is again to become
the objective point Of "A raid by the house
breaking fraternity. We are informed
of two attempts to enter dwellings for
plumber, last night, both happily frustrat-
ed by the wakefulncss of the occupants
The first was the house of JAS Poor, ESD,
on Chatham street Mr. Poor who was
in bed and awake, heard the thief come
up the walk from the street, mount the
porch, and commence operations on the
door He intended to dress and wait for
the entrance of the scoundrel But this
plan was spoiled by the fright which
overcame Mrs. Poor, causing her to Cry
out, and alarm the burglar AT this
juncture Mr.. Poor sprang to the door and
opened it just in time to see the rObbcr
make one spring to the ground below, Il
distance of about six feet, and make off
at the top of his speed, in the direction
Of Main street Mr.. Poor shouted after
him but being undrcssed was prevented
from following closely.
The other visit was made to the house
of Mr.. III. Mason, on Genesee street, near
Chatham. Mr.. Mason was absent, and
the only occupants of the house Mrs.
Mason and her children, who slept in q
bed room on the lower floor, just off the
sitting room. The robber succeeded in
effecting an entrance to the house, and
when Mrs Mason awoke, was in the sit
ting room. He struck match and by
its light pecred into the bed room giving
the lady partial view of his features.
Though terribly frightened Mrs. Mason
summoned courage enough to demand in
firm tones what he wanted. There was
no answer, but shuffling noise as if the
burglar was slipping on his boots, and a
moment after he left by tho door precipi-
lately.
Judging from the past these will not be
the only attempts of the kind at this time,
and besnles the utmost care In making
his domicil secure, every citizen should
provide himself with the means of giving
these villains warm reception when
! found proving around in the hours Of
the night

RAILROAD TAX-The communication
with the above title on the second page,
we shall not attempt to answer for OBJ
vious reasons. But we embrace the oc-
casion to say that the subject is one
which calls for no rhapsodies or for the
invocation Of preudices 1t is eminently
a practical question, and not one of senti-
ment What the people of Newton were
called upon to decide as other townships
may be, is not whether railroad corpora
tions are selfish, rapacious, oppressive,
tyranical or otherwise, but whether the
building of railroad through their
borders will repay the investment of five
per cent of the assessed value Of their
property. The proposition is not: Is
this or that company worthy of our
favor? but, will it pay us to deal with
it, And here, fortunately, we are not at
a loss for satisfactory answer. That
railroads do pay for investments of this
character is proven by the experience of
all communities which have tested it. The
increased value of the lands alone, and
their facility of sale, will more than com
pensate for five times the amount of tax
asked of any townrhip, not to speak of
the advantages to traffic furnished by
the rOadS

Our Taxes for 1870.

EDITOR BULLETIN 1T will doubtless
be especially interesting to your tax-pay-
ing readers to know the exact amount of
taxes levied in Buchanan county for the
year 1870, as well as the several pur-
poses to which they are to be applied A
comparison with last years levy and a
consideration Of the prospects for next
year, may also prove interesting.
First, as to the assessment. The fol
lowing table shows the valuation of real
and personal property in the county for
the years 1869 and 1870. In explanation
it should be stated that no assessment of
real property was made this year, the law
requiring annual assessments of person
al property only. This years valuation
of real property is therefore the same as
last years, with some notifications re-
sulting from reductions of assessments III
certain eases by the Board Of Supervisors.
The apparent decrease is of course no
index to the relative actual value Of pro
perry last wear and this. The decrease
in the valuation of personal property is
almost entirely in the city of Indepcn-
dcncc, and results from the decline in the
stocks of merchants from last year

The total amount Of tax levied in 1869,
was $113,519.s5; in 1870, $112, 536.45,-
decrease, this year, Of $9S3.4O. This
statement however, does not show the
actual decrease in that class of taxes I'M
der the control Of the Board of Super
yisors More than One-half the whole
tax is levied for school, road, and cOrpo-
rations, and certified to the Board. De
Quoting this class of taxes, as well as the
State tax of two mills on the dollar, and
we find that the Board of 1869 levied 49,
1868, and the Board of 1870, $43,2O1.-
asa decrease of So, 1914 The pros
pcct is still brighter for next year. A re-
ducton to the amount of at least ten
thousand dollars can be made with safe
ty in 1871, in this class of taxes.
The consolidated uniform levy for the
county, this year, is twelve mills on the
dollar The lowest total levy in the co'ih-
ty is in Madison township, twenty mills,
and the highest in Jefferson, thirty-six
mills. Two ubdistricts in Jefferson,
however, have levy of fifty-onc mills,
fifteen mills being for school house pur-
poses This high levy in Jefferson is ex-
ceptonal, and is caused by school indcbt-
edncss The levics for school purposes
in the several independent districts are
as follows: Independence and Quasque
ton, thirteen mills; Winthrop. twenty
mills; Jesup, twenty two mills; Farbank,
twenty six mills. The school levy in the
district townships varies from eight mills
in Newton through every graduation to
twenty four mills in Jefferson. The vari-
alton from year to year in each township
is very great, governed as it is, by the
circumstances of building school houses,
Indebtedness, and the too frequent alb
sencc of sound judgment on the part of
school boards in lcvying taxes.
The tax levy for this year is divided
among the several funds as follows:
