TIE North American Land Company
having gained its suit for possession OF
8 large tract Of land in jackson county,
Hon. Lor NJ. MORRILL, informs the
people Of that county that it is the In
tention of the company to adjust mat
tiers with the present occupants OF the
land upon terms of equity and humanity
and that no summary or peremptory
proceedings on the part Of the company
need be feared. The case is one OF
great hardship to many of the jackson
county farmers who bought their lands
from unauthorized parties many years
ago, and have been living upon and i'm
proving them, thinking that their title
was perfect. 1t is to be hoped that the
Land Company will compromise with
the settlers upon liberal terms.

Alas, Poor Yorlcki

Editors Of the Register:l -.
We were boys together, played with
the same toys, kites and sleds, and
when the busy round of the day was
done, were tucked into the same

FREE TY Pc.

We trust that every printer and pub
,isber in the State will join with US In
urging upon our Senators and repre-
septatives in Congress the placing Of
printing type and material on the free
list as proposed by Mr.. VOORHEES, a few
DAYS ago. The tariff on printing type
Yields no revenue to the government
but merely swells the profits OF a fe"
manufacturers, at the expense OF every
publisher in the United States. Print
ers in these States are compelled to pay
about fifty per cent more for their type
than the same style and quality of
material can be purchased for in Canada,
and there is no reason in the world
why type cannot be manufactured as
cheaply in this country as anywhere
else. The enormous tariff imposed goes
into the pockets Of the manufacturer
instead of into the national treasury.
About five hundred thousand dollars
are annually taken from the printers to
keep up this monopoly, three or four
thousand ofthe subsidy being paid every
year by publishers in West Virginia.
Let the duty be removed entirely;
place printing type and material on the
free list; take off this onerous TAX upon
knowledge" and thus remove serious
clog upon newspaper success and the
benefits of printing in general. We
trust that the entire West Virginia dele
CATION in Congress will give a hearty
support to Mr. VOORHEES, resolution.

dred and Fifty Thousand, 1Hree-quarters
of Million, only the snap Of 9 finger
to q rich county and city like ours
with any amount of taxable property.
All we have to do is to shove the taxes
up and it will come.
But hold says o taxpayer. Where
is all your taxable property You
have already exempted the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company, with her
two or three hundred thousand dollars
worth of property, as it DOW stands
and two or three now to be built imme-
diately. You can get nothing there.
That is 80, and it is a poser. Well,
well, let US see. We can 90 for the
citizens railway stock. That much
nearer. No, you can't do that either,
say you, that is exempt also. So it is.
Well, let us see. Wa can build an op-
position road without exemtping it. Oh.
no, cay you again. The present COM
pany has an exclusive privilege of the
streets and alleys for fifteen years yet,
so we are beat again. We are cut off
from taxing in all directions. Well,
we have the mud siHs. We know
they are not exempted, nor
can they get exemption; we'll 60 for
them heavy. All right, here goes /!
What say you? Are you all ready -?
Will we take the vote now or wait few
weeks until we get the public mind
properly educated and prepared for
these /? say the gentlemen behind the
screens. If you think there is any
doubt as to the result, we will postpone
action for short time. In the mean.
time we can agitate; agitate is the
word; get up few meetings; get the
rich men of the city to talk; tell the
people if these measures fail they will
sell their property and leave the State,
&C., as has already been done in one
case that / know of. Besides the public
meeting we can act quietly and indvid-
ually; each of us can be a committee
of one to get up public sentiment and
feeling in favor of those measures and
schemes. They must be put through.
But in the meanwhile, gentlemen, we
are watching you. TAXPAYER.

4 Dish flasher becomes a Millionaire

4 Dish flasher becomes a Millionaire
A few days ago and there was a dish
washer named George Woodruff, employ
ed at the California restaurant, on Mont
gomery street-a dirty, greasy, grimy
cuss, with scarcely cent in his pocket
or hope in the world, to day he is a mil
ionaire-a six millionaire in fact. One
day, while reading a morning paper, his
attention was attracted to on advertise
ment headed Personal" stating that one
Of his name would find it to his advant-
age to address certain party in New
York. The name was familiar to him,
and he concluded to answer the advertise
ment. He did so, giving his address,
and in due time received a letter stating
that his uncle had died in New York,
leaving property to the amount of S6,-
900, 900, which the deceased mad willed
aim. He was astounded and could hard
~ believe that the news was true until it
vas confirmed. Upon Its confirmation
ne cast off his greasy clothes and forsa-
king the sacred precincts of the kitchen
ne donned a new raiment and departed
for his estate in New York, richer if
not better man. There is a new dish
washer at the California now, and he is
waiting for rich and forgotten uncle to
die and give him a lift. He reads the
personals" with avidity every morning.
