habit Of freshening mackerel or other salt fish
never dream that there is right way and
wrong way to do it. Any person who has
seen the process of evaporation going on al
the salt works knows that the salt goes 10 the
bottom. Just'so it is in the pan where your
'mackerel or white lies soaking and, as 81 lays

with the flesh side down, the salt falls to tho

freshened as it should be. In the other case
it is nearly as salt as when put in. =. ~.

covering as they do, only partial returns and
presenting an under estimate Of the revenue
derived from township levies.
1t is thought proper here to remark that the
general school fund distributed for this wear
included the accruins revenue of this fund for
seventeen instead of twelve months. in con-
sequence of change in the time Of making
the annual distribution and was for this reason
larger than usual, and as the amount of the
township levies depends very much upon tho
amount of general school fund distributed. the
taxes from this source are probably less in
proportion than they would otherwise have
been. -
For these reasons the foregoing statement
does not present true exhibit of the agere.
gate amount expended during the year in the
State for school purposes, and especially of
the amount received from township levies.-.
The following is believed to approximate more
nearly to the true amount expended during
said year:
The total value of real and personal estate
in the several counties was $3.50, 037 ,017. 90.
The average township levy for school purposes
was s29.90. The average township levy for
building purposes was s2739. Equal to
s51.29 on each one hundred dollars valuation.
