CORN PACKING.

Mr.. j. W. Jones has one of the largest corn
packing establishments in the State, at this
village. He has been adding to the buildings
each year, until they DOW cover more than an
acre OF ground. As the quantity of corn rails
ed last year was much less than was antcipat-
cd, a sufficient number of cans remain on
hand to supply the demand this year. About
two hundred acres of corn are already con-
tracted Tor, and about fifty acres more will be
obtained if possible, which will make about
100000 cans of corn. MIR. A. III. Burnbam,
the managing agent here, has had large expe-
rience in the business, and enjoys the conf
dence and esteem Of the community.

Just examine closely this magnlncent
specimen Of radical wisdom. The mass Of
the people, the farmers, mechanics, mer
chants and laborers, all are taxed. at the
very lowest, an average of .torty.fre per
cent, in gold, upon the most important
pecessaries of every day consumption, while
the wealthy and comfortable elasses-the
national bankers, bondholders and land
grabbers, for instance,-are permitted to
import articles of ornament and luxury al q
merely nominal duty, ranging, IN fact, from
entire exemption from duty up to 10 or 70
per cent.
Shellabarger, Schenck and Bingham are
wanted in congress to continue this state
of affairs. A policy which Commissioner
Welles described, in the language We have
quoted, as one that makes the rich richer
and the poor poorer.
Havley voted for q continuation of these
e1tortions, and viii the poor men OF the
district vote to return him that he may do
the same thing over7 We shall see.

Such are the taxes upon the articles of
pure luxury used only BY the rich, or
those in the most prosperous circumssan-
ces. Now, contrast with the following
table of taxes upon articles of prime ne
ces.ity, consumed by all classes of the
people:

for reconsideration.
The ordinance establishing fire limits, passed
some years since, II is presumed, was well matured
before ITS adoption, and only included territory
deemed proper ut that time for the public we flare
and protection of property. Parties who have
erected buildings within the fire limits since the
adoption of SAID ordinance have been compelled,
at whatever sacrifice or extraordinary expense, to
com ~ with its requirements, and have right 10
expect that expensive structures, erected in view
Of the fact, that there were certain prescribed
limits within which wooden buildings should not be
erected, shall not be endangered by any subsequent
act ct council, without compensation for damages
they might thereby be made liable TO sustain.
Without regard, however, to the question of
their legal rights in the matter or the other qucs.
ton rs to the propriety OF resembling ordinances,
or any part thereof, for the benefit OF individuals
or societies, object to this ordnance Cor the
reason that believe the ordinance establishing
fire limits good one, and ought to be enforced

OTTAWA AND BELvrDERE RAILRoAD.-There
was grand railroad meeting at Kennedy's Hall
on Wednesday evening, March 16, at which
several persons had their say. Mr.. McEwsn was
in favor of the road, and believed it would be a
good thing for the town of Adams to vote q tax
OF $4,000 as stock to the road. The road would
run from Belvidere to Ottawa, and interssct the
Fox River Valley Road at some point in Serena
Mr.. Reuben Pritchard was a railroad man, and
had always been. He had favored every road
that proposed to run anywhere near him. He
for was this road and for the axes and hoped the
people would adopt his views. Elijah Knigh.
Was farmer, but no man for railroads nor taxes.
especially extras. He was head, neck and
shoulders against the lob" and would use bis
influence against it. He thought it would
not help matters TO have the road, but would
only make taxes higher. John Read was in
favor OF the road, but sgains: taxing the town to
the tune Of $4,000. Lawyer Abbott was in
favor of the road, but thought the idea of taxing
the town $4,000 poor way Of robbing; but
since robbing the people had got to be matter
OF eeeryday practice. he didn't know but that was
as good way to rob a. any other, yet was not
in favor OF the tax. No further action was
taken
