The Superior Court commenced it's
 April term on Tuesday. with the trial of
 Patrick Donnelly for killing De Lowry in
 Wolcottviile. The criminal business will
 occupy about two weeks.
 A taxpayer calls onr attention to the fact that by the selectmen's report of Sept. 30, 1871 there appears to have been s4, 424 assets in the Treasury, and by the
 report of Sep. 30, 1872, S12, ,7S5 assets in
 treasury, and yet no allowance was made
 in laying the tax for this large increase. On comparison of the items of the treas urer's account, and on explanation oI town officers, we judge that this difference i'll assets was more apparent than real. To the $4 &, 424 on hand in 1871 should be added S, ,000 soon after borrowed of the Savings Society and which was really a part of our railroad debt. About the amount of assets reported in 1872 were needed to pay the October interest on town bonds of about s, 800 and the State and school taxes (about S7, ,OOO) together with other indebtedness that falls due. be- fore the moneyscan realized on the town tax about the first of May. For al- though $12, 7S5 assets were reported on the 30th of September, '72,aonly' about g, 900 cash is now in treasury, and even that sum comes from payment of taxes
 
 due this spring, and anticipated by tax payers. The town tax laid in February was. we understand, only ] of min lar ger than the amount necessary to. meet the estimated expenses of the current year which access will in all probability hardly meet necessary abatements. .e 2 a2 On Monday evening, the last meeting of Mir.

that this American club had given
him on foreign soil the first opportu-

In the early part of September, the
Internationales held their congress at
Geneva. The Spanish delegates were
the lions of the occasion. They reported
that the proclamation of the Republic
had been of no advantage to them, for
their places of meeting had been closed
and their leader exiled. At Alcoy aud
elsewhere the municipal authorities had
provoked revolt by their attempt to
put down the strikes The Republic had
elevated few persons, but the poor la
borers we're treated as before. In Au
gust 1872, says the Spanish report, there
were in Spain 65 local federations, with
224 trades and 20 working sections in
August, 1873. these numbers, relatively,
were 1872 454 and II IN 1879 The Inter
rationale had $4,000 members, now it
has over $4,000. The report further
states that, there is no disposition to
