About Assessments and Taxes.


Attention has been called to assess.
ments; this being the year of the tri'
ennisl assessments, the assessors fix
the value of every mans property for
three years. as matter of course
subject only to being raised in the
event of improvements. 1t has been
alleged that an uudsr valuation has
pervaded the county for the past six
years. This is true of many counties.
In some, meetings of the assessors have
called to fix uniform rate of valua-
tion, or rather to assess at the true
value all over. This is wise. Yet it
would be unjust and unwise for one
township or borough to assess truly,
and another have u sham assessment,
so that the township or borough with
the assessor who should truly assess,
should be saddled with, say, one third
Of the tax of the county,--so that the
proprietor of the small town lot worth
$500 is assessed at $500, while the
owner and proprietor of his broad do

lumber lord, or the speculator, gets
off with an assessment Of 50 per acre,

troll the assessments; they are the reg

rate should be low. just sufficient for

A Reflection end q Tribute.

Probably if Tionesta was ever
cursed with "Black Friday" il was
that cold icy time when Hunters first
bridge went down. Everybody looked
Respondent. Every had. been
proud that for Eva weeks they had
crossed the icy river on wooden road,
borne up en- an iron super.structufe,
which was an iron link to connect
with the railroad, which again con-
nected US with the commercial, busy
world. Added to the confusion and
sorrow, il will be remembered that it
was reputed on that foggy morning
when our bridge went down, that the
proprietor of that bridge, the indefatig
able Hunter himself, had went down
with it. This seems like a terrible
dream of the past; yet when the con-
trary became known, about ten o'clock
Of that day, when Hunter appeared
among Us again, the least detected man

n prophet, ,prophecying that ere the Au-
tumn leaves all fell, another and bet
ter bridge should mark the spot-the
chasm- void-abyss, or whatever YOU
may call it, from each ice bound shore,
many were incredulous. But a view
of that scene to-day puts Incredulity
itself 10 blush; for the great arcs
spread from pier to pier, triumph OF
skill and enterprise. All honor then
