Wonderful Phenomenon.

a cyclone occurred near Mason

An inkyAhucd cloud or smokc-like
column was observed gathering near

An Additional (SChOOD Tax
upon Property.

We are Informed that false i'm
preston prevails as to the nature of
the tax authorized to be laid by the
legal voters of each school district,
upon the property of said district, by
tho school passed last winter.
The amount authorized must not OK
coed three dollars for every child be.
tween tho ages Of six and sixteen, but
the tax is not personal tax the ele'
mert of person and population en-
tors into the bill only to limit the
amount, and tho tax is to be assessed
aud levied (upon property sin the
same manner as other County taxes"
For example: If a planter has SIX
children between tho ages of six and
sixteen, hc will not pay three times
six, or eighteen dollars tax, but will
pay about one-half more (for it comes
to neatly that proportion) upon his
property, than he now pays. If his
property tax is now one hundred dol
lars, it will be near ono hundred and
fifty instead, if this law bo executed.
Tho constitution expressly forbids tho
lcyyiug OF any additional personal
l poll tax beyond the one now levied, so
t that it is singular and almost absurd
:, that anybody should have misunder-
. stood the school law on this point.
d Property, and property alone, is to
!. carry the burden. Tic whole idea IL,
q that tho property of the State must be
:, made to oducato tho people of the
d State.

4. BE LIBERAL TO Your FARMs.-Be liberal
to your farms and they will be liberal to you.
"A farm is very much in one respect like look
g-glass-it reflects the character of the owner
exactly. If he is parsimonious his farm will
showit. If he is man of taste, his buildings,
fences, and general arrangements of his farm
will tell the tale. No effort on his part to dis
guise his real thoughts or sentiments, will avail
anything so long as the operations of his farm
belle his words The farmer who invests freely
in his farm is sure to be paid we'll for his risk
and trouble. Liberality in providing utensils,
says the Western Rural is the saving OF both
time and labor. The more perfect the farmers
tools, the more profitable are they. So, also, it
is with his working cattle and his stock. The
more perfect in their kinds are ever the most
profitable. Liberality in good barns and warm
shelters is the source of health, strength and
comfort to animals; causes them to thrive on
less food, and secures from damage all sorts OF
crops. Liberality also in the provision of food
for domestic animals is the source of flesh,
muscle and manure. Liberality' to the earth,
in seed, culture and compost, is the source OF
Its beauty Thus it is in agriculture, as in
every part of creation, wise and paternai
Providence has inseparably connected our duty
and happiness. In raising animals, the condl-
,tion, of his success is kindness and benevolence
toward them. In cultivaiing the earth, the
condition of mans success is bis industry
upon it.
