the 10th OF November, to total Of

less than 220, $50 bules over the cores

thut on unusually large proportion OF
the crop has already come forward, but
exactly what proportion, of course, can
not be determined, as a knowledge of
the precise quantity remaining in plant
ers' hands is manifestly impossible, and
is only subject of speculation. It may
be safely concluded, however, that the
aotual receipts OF this crop are much
more satisfactory than was anticipated al

the expectations that were warranted

The SECnEr Or Man BURIED ALIVE
REVEALED. For some time past, the
work of removing the remains OF the de-
parted from the old Roman Catholic
burying ground to the new cemetery has
been quietly going on. A gentleman
who was engaged in removing the re-.
mains of some of his deceased relatives,
was asked by an acquaintance, who was
similarly engaged, to assist him in lifting
coffin from q grave. He did so, and
the lid wns taken of. To the horror Of
the small body Of spectators who gather-
ed around it, they discovered that tho
body, which was that ot an uncle of the
gentleman who was removing it, had
been disturbed in the coffin. It was
terribly contorted, as if the deceased had
died in great agony. The face wore en
expression OF intense pain and horror,
and the arms were drawn up as far as
the coffin would admit, and tho head was
twisted round TO the shoulders, from
which the flesh had apparently been
Rnawed by the struggling man. Sick
ened by the horrid sight, the spectators
drew back from the coffin, and looked
speechlessly into each others eyes.
Not word was spoken, but there was
not man present who did not feel that
the deceased had been buried alive
probably while in q trance-and had
awakened only TO perish in his living
tomb. OHacu Ciiiscn.

HE TAX TO DE LEVIED AND THE INrE-
REST ON THE BoNDs.-The recent tax levy
has been declared unconstitutional. It
appears. from the special telegram to the
Courier, published this morning, that
Tho administration to be inaugurated
proposes tax for Stnte purposes OF
twelve mills on the dollur, exclusive of
the tax for County purposes, which is to
be three mills more. No provision is to
be made for the payment Of the interest
on any portion of the public debt until
1t has been ascertained by commission
OF citizens, selected irrespective of poll
tics, what part of tho debt is legal or ille-
gal. Such commission to avail shonld
be selected from che tax payers, and
should be above suspicion or reproach.
1t should be such commission as will at
once command the confidence and assent
OF the wholo State. The tax Of twelve
mills, for other thnn State purposes, ap-
pears to us AZ unnecessarily largo. Ths
duty OF the hour is retrenohment, re-
trenchment in the number of EMPLOYEES
and in tho long sessions and pay OF the
members of the General Assembly. This
is Of the first Importance. The affairs
Of the State should be brought as near
as possible within the same compass as
before the late war. Hundreds Of thou.
sands of dollars would thus be cut off
from useless and unnecessary annual ex.
penses. This would afford the highest
substantial guarantee of financial and
honest decentralization Courier.

TRIAL BY JuRY.-The Spaniards are OF
present felioitating themselves that the
system OF trial by jury will go into ope-
ration throughout the kingdom before
the first of December next. A formal
announcement to that effect was made in
the lower house OF the Spanish Cortes
on Tuesday. There is said to have been
large and constantly increasing crop of
murders in Spain of late years, but it
does not seem certain. in view of Amo.
rican experience, whether the jury sys-
tenn has been adopted for tho safety of
the murderers or of the community,
Several casualties have occurred in Spain
whereby unfortunate murderers havo
been shot by minions of tho Govern
ment, and the conjecture has been ha-
zarded that the jury system has been
adopted to prevent the recurrence Of
suoh inhumanity. This hypothesis may
or may not be allowable; but, if it is
not, it is because tho Spaniards have
drawn their conceptions OF trial by jury
from the records Of English and early
American jurisprudence, and havo never
heard OF the scores of murderers whom
recent American juries have acquitted.

The oiariosoPhic and EuphradIan So
ctetics.
The anachronism of an article which
appeared in the local columns of tho
Pu9N1x, of the 18th instant, was
promptly detected by the keen eyes of
our friend OF the Chester Reporter. It
escaped ctr oTa attention, having been
contributed by young friend, and in
serted without scrutiby on our part.
Our contributor was mistaken little in
his facts; but for this, the general spirit
OF his article, which was good, must
serve to atone.
The suggestion OF the Reporter, that
the present material composing the two
societies shonld be consolidated into one
Under new name, and that the old
classic and honored names OF Euphra.
dian and Olariosophic, should be laid
away reverently, is worthy of considera-
ton. And yet rivalry, the great spur to
the ambition of our young collegians in
cultivating the excellencies OF compost
ton and the graoes of oratory, would
thereby bo lost. Better let them keep
the names and draw inspiration from tho
associations and distinctions with which
they are so intimately connected. There
is virtue in them yet.

What Railroads DO.

Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company,

money is paid out there for whatever
enters into family or personal consumP-

thousand persons to the population Of
