Hoohand's German Bitters


A Bittcrs soihlom Alcoholo or Spirits Of any Kind,
Is different from all others. 1t is composed
of the pure Juices, or vital Principle
Of Roots, Herbs and EarkS, Cor as
incidentally termed Extracts,) the worthless
or inert portions of the ingredients not being
used. Therefore in one Bottle of this Bitters
there is contained as much medicinal virtue
as will be found in several gallons of ordinary
mixtures. The Roots. &C., used in this Bit
ters are grown in Germany, their vital prin-
ciples extracted in that country by scien
tifc Chemist, and forwarded to the manufac-
/ tory in this city. where they are compounded
and bottled. Containing no spirituous ingre-
dents. this Bitters is free from the objections
urged against all others; n o, desire for stimu-
lants can be induced from their use, they can
not make drunkaris, and cannot under any
circumstances, have any but beneficial effect
EEOofland's German TOMie
Was compounded for those not inclined to
extreme bitters, and is intended for nse in
cases when some alcoholic stimHlant is re-
qu;red in connection with the Tonic proper
ties of the Bitters combined with pure SAN
Ia CRUZ RUM, and favored in such man
ner that the extreme bitterness of the bitters
is overcome, forming preparation that is
highly agreeable anu pleasant to the palate,
and containing the medicinal virtues of the
Bitters. The price of the Tonic is 81 so per
bottle, which many persons think too high.
They must take into consideration that the
stimulant used is guaranteed to be of pure
quality. A poor article could be furnished
at cheaper price, but is it not better to pay
little more and have good article? me.
dicinal preparation should contain none but
the best ingredients; and they who expect to
obtain cheap compound, and be benefited
by it, will most certainly be cheated.

Going on.

The prosecution of the Tammany
robbers is still going on, and it looks
now us though some OF the leading
spirits would spend some Of their time
in the Penilentiary instead of revel.
ling in brown stone fronts In this
State things are working differently.
The State robbcr, Evans, has been
discharged on hdbeds corpus, by
Judge Pearson, SO far as the criminal
prosecution is concerned, but held in
the sum Of 100000 for his appear
ance in q civil suit for damages, when
Geary, Hartranft, Mackey & Co. want
him. As his bond, when he entered
upon his duties, was for only $4,000,
.ho can easily pay that after having
stolen s36O,000 out of the State Treas.
ury a more bold-iaccd robbery was
never committed in this State, yet it
looks now rs though not dollar Of
tho money would ever revert to the
Treasury, and the robbcr escape all
punishment and probably get Il posi-.
tion in Geary's cabinet or a clerk

According to this rule the horses
can bo divided into three four, five or
six classes, and made to average 500
each. Not less than half the number
in each borough and township should
be assessed at 500 and the balance
can be put down at from $50 (the
value Of n COW, and if not worth that
they are not worth assessing,) to
$3.50. There are largo number Of
horses in this county worth over 5000,
and the Assessors should find them,
instead of so many poor ones
Therefore, let the Assessors adopt
as u standard-Sl00 for horse, $40
for a cow, s75 for oxen, and SIS for
buggies and carriages, and they will
enable the County Commissioners to
raise the amount of tax demanded by
the State authorities, and in the man.
ncr designated by law.
In May, 1870, we reviewed the as.
scssmont of 1869, and after pointing
out the insignifican, valuation placed
upon property, said
The inequality Of assessments is
also demonstrated ia other particulars.
While no township or borough has as
scsscd horses or other property high
enough, il will te observed that in
some (thc highos) thoy arc assessed
at s72, while IN others (tho lowcsl)
they arc valued at but el2, This is
certainly not cquaidyj because, il \
person happens to reside in the for.
mcr townships, and owns horse, he
must pay sereaiytro cents county tax,
and school, State, road and poor tax
in proportion. If, however, be resides
in the latter townships, he only pays
n county tax Of toriytro cents, or
seventy per cent less. Now, If a
horse is worth 800 in Burnside, or
$50 in Huston, what is to hinder ii
irom being worth the same in Jordan,
.Cpyington or Bradlordy This is Il
question that interests Assessors aud
taxpayers especially the former, as
they act under oath and it is one for
them 10 solve.

The aepnblirau,
.,ssessn,cuis and Taxation.

The season is approaching When tho
annual assessment OF personal proper
~, for 1872, takes place, In few
weeks, at tho fnrthcst, each Of tho
thirty Assessors of Clcarhcd county
will have II duplicate placed in their
hands by the County Commissioners,
for the purpose Of enumcrating aud
valuing the personal property in their
respective boroughs and townships.
1t was dccrecd moro than eighteen
hundred years ago that all the world
should be taxed. The business Of this
edict has been fully established by its
adoption by every civilized nation.
The designs of the tax laws in this
country are supposed to bc just; and
such They are, if properly understood
and administered. 1t is as much the
duty of the citizen to contribute his
due share of tax towards the support
of the State and municipal affairs Of
his country, as to support himself and
family; and the only difficulty in the
way, is, TO see that this bnrthen is
equally imposed upon the citizens J
that each pays his due proportion ;
and that none escape. Woproposc to
point out some Of the vagaries pre-,
vailing among Assessors in this county,
with reference to the assessment OF
property, Tho personal property in
this county is assessed entirely too
low. The County Commissioners, in
order to meet the State tax demanded
Of the county by the State authori,
ties, are compelled to take out Of the
County Treasury, annually, about
$500 to pay the State tax thus 'ig.
roring the Act Of Assembly which
rxempts real estate from paying a
State tax, just because the personal
property is not assessed at lis proper
value. An examination Of the former
assessments demonstrates that horses,
mules, cows, oxen, buggics, carriages,
watches and occupations, are put Ut
from ~ to 70 per cent below prop.
er value. The standard value OF
horses in this county for tax purposes
should be fixed at sI09. Thus, 200
horses in Brady township should be
returned by the Assessor, valued at
forty thousand dollars, (Sl0,000l
while 100 in Karthaus should be re
turned at ten thousand dollars, (sl0,
0O0); and those in Deculur and Hus
ton should bo returned at o similar
'"'-.- .....~ ~ ,YaVJ. InS
Assessor Of one township should moi
be allowed to return horses at 81.
while another returns them ut Sc
and still another at sl20. This seem:
scarcely probable, yet such was thC
case at the last assessment, and all
tho Assessors took the same oath
The result Of this gross inequality
was that the County Commissioner
were compelled to overhaul the assess
ments, and cquali2c the value Of the
property thus nominally rated and
in doing so, many worthless hors,
was put too high, from the very fact
that they had no personal knowledge
Of the animal, such as the Assessor
enjoys. TO illustrate still further th,
mode of assessing horses, we give The
