| A Correction.
The paragraph telegraphed from
here last night that the Commissioner
Of Internal Revenue was busy sending
out notices to Assessors that their ser
vices would be no longer required aftei
the lst of January next, is not correct
The Commissioner says it will take two
months to get all his printing done and
arrange all the preliminaries before
dispensing with the Assessors, and tn,
latter he does not expect to finish unti
the 1st of April, and perhaps later
The Assessors will have at least two
and maybe three months more OF ser
vice after the 1st of January next.
