ssTn the Tunnel"
BY BRET HARTE.

Didn't know Flynn
Flynn OF Virginia
Long as he's been var
Loek'ee here, stranger,
Whar hen you been ?
Here in this tunnel
He was my partner.
That same Tom Flynn
Working together,
In wind and weather,
Day out and in
Didn't know Flynn
Well. that is queer;
Why, it's a sin
To think of Tom Flynn
Tom with his cheer,
Tom without fear
Stranger, look var
Thar in the drift,
Back to the wall,
He held the timbers
Ready to fall,
Then in the darkness
heard him call
"Run for your life, Jake
Run for your wife's sake
Don't wait for me"
And that was all
Heard in the din,
Heard of Tom Flynn
Flynn of Virginia.
That's all about
Flynn of Virginia,
That lets me out.
Here in the damp
Out of the sun
That FAR derned lamp
Makes my eyes run.
Well, therein done.
"But, sir, when you'll
Hear the next fool
Asking of Flynn
Flynn of Virginia
Just you chip in.
Say you knew Flynn

RUTLAND STATE TAX PAID.-An item
appeared in the Free Press some days ago
stating that the entire State tax of the
City of Burlington had been collected and
paid into the State Treasury by the fifth
day of February, This item has gone the
rounds of the papers, coupled, in some
instances, with the comment that it was a
remarkable instance of promptness, and
was probably the only instance of the
kind in the annals of tax collecting in
Vermont. Such is not the fact. In 1870
and 1871, at least, and during the entire
collectorship Of w. M. Field, the State tax
OF Rutland has been collected, paid into the
State Treasury, and the books closed on
or before February 9th of each year: We
presume that this has been done in Rut.
land every year since the passage of the
law allowing discounts, but the former
collector having removed from the State,
we have not the means at hand for ascer-
tanning the fact.

Wcssrs Eitors: When I furnished for
your paper the article on hydrophrbia was
perfectly well aware Of she existence Of The
mad-dog- stone, and of the faith which ma
ny ropose in IT,. | thought Il too ridicu-
lous, however, 20 merit attention after hay-
ing explained the mode IN which such nos
trums acquire reputation This stone rs
probably Of u .laty or chalky nature, and
porous. When dry It will adhere 10 moist
part, a. such substance will 10 he tongue,
and fall fl when saturated with moisture.
That it has any affinity for ihe poison of
the rabjd animal j. too ridiculous 10 merit
serious discussion. The evil &c hitting from
confidence in remedies so absurd is that it
prccudes the use Of efficient means.
