posts are near harbors.

The law passed by the late Massachusetts
Legislature will pretty eifectualy prevent
owners Of bank shares in that state from es.
Gaping taxation on them. Each bank /, held
responsible for the taxes on its shares at the
rate assessed in the town where it is located
and without reference to the place whore the
stockholders reside. The taxes collected on
nonresident shares are passed over to the
state, and the state distributes to the towns
where the owners reside. Probably the oper
alton of this law will be that the banks viii
pay the taxes at once, and make their diyi
dends hereafter free of state taxation as wei
as federal.

A recent telegram from London from a
high official states that the Anglo-American
treaty, with her Majesty's ratification, was
sent into Parliament on Tuesday, II isunder-
stood in London that Mr.. Disraeli, after a
full conference with Sir Stafford Northcote,
has determined as leader of the opposition to
permit the treaty to be received without at
tempting to press any criticisms upon it to the
point even of serious debate. This informa-
tion is regarded in London as entirely trust
worthy, and as settling the question, il there
ever was any question, as to the reception Of
the treaty in Great Britain.

Those who were absent from Village Hall on
Thursday evening last missed treat. The lee
ture by DR.. Jewett, and his answers to the ques-

together one of the most valuable efforts he has

seriously the tndesman's interests are injured by
the use of liquor on the part Of those who, but
for this, would he his customers and then, led
on by questions, explained, from the standpoint
of a physician, some of the physiological effects
of alcohol, denouncing in strong terms the com

in ale, cider, wine, or whiskey. The number in
attendance was small, quite in contrast with the
