A Just Complaint.

"A Just Complaint.
Oar Merchants and Mechanics are re-
quired by our town authorities to pay a
Corporation tax, and it is said that the
Board of Trustees intend to require an ad
ditional one, in the shape of Corporation
license. We are not disposed to question
the legality of these acts, but we think
our merchants have sufficient reasons to
complain, when our authorities permi,
merchants and mech anics from other places
to come here, and almost in front of their
doors sell merchandise and mechanics
wares without tax or license. Such dis.
elimination against the interests of our own
people, would not be SO bad if they were
permitted to sell their wares in other towns
without the payment of license. We
think if this subject should be properly
presented to the Board of Trustees, they
would not hesitate to do what is necessary
for the protection Of our business men:

E The Commonwealth speaks of
their "Whale Community" We had 40
idea that monster bore so close a resemb-
lance to the Goldfish. Such expressions
call to mind the following, written by an
inmate OF an insane asylum:
''Gaily the Tiger-Cat tuned his gritar.
Serenading the Maggie with Jfsathers and tar
Ladie bird-Ladie bird-wilt be my bride ?
She for the Elephant vainly had sighed.
The Rivals met in the whale,
And ght by the light of the Grasshopers tail
The Elephant stood on his trunk TO take breath
When the Tiger Cat costly Rugged him to death
Then selling Cabbage stalk, boldly he wrote
Come Love. and tread on the tail of my coat.

at the bedside of the sick, combined with an
