THE County Board resolved that
it is in favor of levying at It's
November session, a tax sufficient
to take up at once all claims that
NAV then be Obtainable under the
agreement made with Beecher. If
the people are able to stand it, such
a course would be wise; for, from
the spirit manifested by different
parties holding claims against the
county, we apprehend that they will
endeavor to estop Us from carrying
out the agreement, and If they
should succeed there is nothing to
save Us from paying Beecher dollar
for dollar. But considering that we
this year have two years State,
County, Town and School taxes to
pay, in addition to the amount nee
essary to liquidate perhaps two hun
bred thousand of bond claims. it is
becoming to carefully ponder the
question, lean the people do it !'
TO raise the amount needed, it is es-
timated that in all towns the tax viii
be six per cent, and in some as high
as ten per cent. of the assessed value
of the property. In some localities,
where the tax would be lightest, the
people may be in favor of raising
the whole amount this winter, but
in those towns where a ten per cent.
tax would have to be paid, such a
levy must prove hardship to many.
The Supervisors viii carefully weigh
the matter, of course, before acting
in accordance with their resolution,
and be governed by what shall APP
pear to be for the best interests OF
the whole county.

house. when the rascal began making great
disturbance. The officer then arrested him,
though he made powerful resistance aided by
a crowd Of hundred or more gathered around.
Rice is man who never lets go his hold, and

Especial Dispatch to the Press.l
QUEBEC, June 23-A remarkable case, which
may end in charge of piracy against number
of Swedish and Norwegian emgrants, was in
vestigated here to-day; and large number OF
the ringleaders lodged in Quebec Jail. 1t APP
pears that large number of emigrants from
Sweden and Norway were brought to Canada
by Mr.. Nelson, who has large iron works
on the lower St. Lawrence river at a place
called Mo;ssie, and they were engaged before
they left home for period of three years.
When they arrived out in the spring they went
to work, but dispute arose as to the payment
of wages, they insisting that they should. be
paid in gold and their employer giving them
orders only to obtain goods in stores kept by
himself.
This they refused to remain satisfied with,
and left their work, but as they had no means
of getting away from the pie they were in
bad position, no vessels trading there regularly
except those owned by Mr.. Nelson. In their
extremity they went down to the river in
body and took possession of small schooner
In this vessel they set sail for Quebec and ar
rived yesterday all safe, there being men, wo-
men and children on board to the number of
200. When they landed at Point Hove wharf
the police were waiting for them, as informa-
ton of their acts hac been telegraphed to this
point
The men mostly wore sheath knives in their
belts, and looked very formidable, but on the
police showing that they had authority to ar
rest them, they surrendered peaceably. Twen-
ty-eight of them, who were said to be leaders
in the movement, were taken into custody and
lodged in Quebec Jail to await the evidence of
Mr.. Malson against them, and the charge of
stealing the vessel which the owner of the
schooner means to bring against them. The
case is creating great interest among all con-
nected with emigration. >. u.
