The assessors report the number Of dwellings
in the city at 800; horses, 24lO; cows, 1921 !;
sheep, 6S.
The above table indicates an increase within
the past year, in the total valuation of the city,
of about - per cent; 16i per cent. in real and
p per cent. in personal estate; increase in mum.
Der of polls, of minors and of dwellings about 8
per cent Within the last five years there has
been an increase in total valuation of about
6Si per cent in real estate of about 9s per cent,
personal estate of about 2Ol pr cent, increase
in number of polls about Al! per cent, minors
45 per cent, dwellings So per cent, and in
general population about 40 per cent.
The 81 ,149,O $50 shares in banks of this city,
owned by residents, are divided among the
several wards, as follows: Ward 1, 1867 500;
ward ., $50 ,25O; ward 3, S81 ,25O; ward 4, $751;
$50; ward g. $4,000; ward c, $50; ward I,
S76,15O; ward s, S452, 100.
The law going into operation this year for the
first time, by which bank shares are taxed in
duces considerably what has formerly been in
cluded in the valuation of personal property
against individual residents of the city. This
does not diminish the amount of personal prop
erty owned by our citizens, (although it would
appear so from the tables,) as the tax on shares
held by our citizens in banks located elsewhere
in the state is RENTED to our city through the
state treasury.
The property assessed on the books for each
ward does not of course show the actual prop
erty in each ward. Citizens of one ward may
own large amounts of property in another
ward, which is assessed in the ward where they
live. Any comparison, therefore, of one ward
with another in different years, is no true indi-
cation. For instance, the Worcester gas COM
pauy, having a valuation of about half mil
lion, which was last year assessed in ward six,
we notice, is this year assessed inward three,
thus giving an outside appearance of dispro-
increased valuation in the latter
ward
Below is the list of persons and corporations,
2379 in number, paying a tax of $50 and over,
each. The number paying over 500 each is
1886; over $500, 1872; over $1,000, 81; over
$1,000, %; and over $4,000 each, s,
The heaviest corporation tax is that of the
Washburn & Moen manufacturing company,
who pay 81 1871; while those of the Worcester
gas company and Boston and Albany railroad
company come next, each being over $4,000.
The heaviest individual tax is that of Hon.
stephen Salisbury, which is st2,714; next that
of George Crompton, which is SS319.
1t must be borne in mind that the tax on
bank shares, amounting in all to about $4,000,
is not included in this list. Were this so, the
fiu1Ires rpnrpSPntinp thp faxes of many of the
heaviest tax payers would be much larger:

Taft aud Horace Forbush, both anti-Butler and

j. M. Stockwen and j. A. Dodge, anti-Butler.
Sutton is entitled to out two. West Boylston

and Ezra Sawyer, both anti-Butler and for
Washburn; Oxford two anti-Butler. One of
them was said to be for Butler, but letters from
Oxford state positively that both are against
him. We have received a communication from
Atho giving the Butler version of the story
concerning the election of delegates. The

of this process is in the nestnes. the duOdenun

food dissolved in the gastric juice, commmgled with
the bile and the pancreatic fluid which poured
through two separate ducts The latter substance the
secretion of the pancreas is alkaline, and somewhat
similar to saliva 1t neutrazes Chat dissolves oils
and also converts starchy compounds into sugar The
bile, again. is the secretion the liver formed not as
other secretOns from drerid but exceptionally from

stomach, is absorbed by numerous minute tubes the

ATTORNEY GENERAL.-The great question to

cupied attention, that not much has been said
of the rest of the state ticket. We trust that
due attention will be given to the fact that Hon.
P. Emory Adrich will be strongly supported by
his friends for the Office of attorney general.
1t is an Office for which he is every way qualified,
by ability and legal experience, and the pros
pect now is that he will be nominated without
very serious opposition. But his friends in
this and the other counties should use their in
tiuence to have his claims kept properly in view,
and duly considered by the delegates who repre-
sent them.
