"A Whole Family Burned to Death.

On W cdnesdaY morning of last week.
she house of Nh Wharf, in Guiford. was
burned, and three persons consumed in
the flames. On the night of the fire there
We're in the house Mr. Isaac Wharf, the
owner, his wife and nephew, about twelve
years Old; also Mr. Hiram jenkins and
wife and child who We're spending the
winter with Mr. Wharf, About o'clock,
on Wednesday morning, Mr. jenkins was
aroused from sleep by the cries OF the boy,
Mrs Wharif's nephew He found the room
illled with smoke and heard the cracking
OF flames all around him lie found that
escape by the door of his room was inn
poSsihie, and so he thrust his wife and
chllo o't OF the window and leaped after
them himself Scarcely had he touched
the snow when the roof Of the house fell
in. For time they stood by the blazino
fire hoping that Mr.. and Mrs. Wharf and
their nephew had escaped. With the
protection Of such little clothing as thev
could snatch rs they escaped from the
flames, they soon became chilled by the
terrible storm, and then they started for
the nearest neighbors, more than a quarter
of ~ mile distant Mrs jenkins was bare
footed, and when they reached shelter
both her hands and feet were frozen. The
child was better protected and escaped
being frost-bitten There is no doubt that
Mr.. and Mrs Wharf and nephew persisted
in the flames The barn and its contents
We're entirely consumed.

Tie Tax Commissioners Report.

AUGUSTA, Feb 10. 1871
The Governor, on Tuesday sent I" the
Legislature the report of Hon A. ".
Paine, Tax Commissioner, under a re
solve approved Jan. lG, 1874. and it was
ordered printed and referred to the Com
mittee on Ways and Means.
The report is a very able and thorough
document and gives Il statement of the
tax systems of the different States The
whole subject is extensively discussed.
The Commissioner recommends that all
property of private corporations be taxed
for municipal purposes where it is To-
Gated, to be in full of al! tax on stock :;
that public corporations, including rail
roads, but excluding telegraph compa-
MES be taxed for the sole use of the State :;
that insurance companies pay q tax Of
one per cent. on their premiums, and eN-
press companies a like tax on their re-
ceipts; that Legislative acts Of incorpora-
ton and private bills pay a duty to the
State Of $50 each that collateral inherit
ancc pay duty on all property passing
by death to others than issue, parents
husband and wife, Of one TO five per
cent, according to nearness of kindred !;
and that ice cut on tide waters for export
alton, pay 10 cents per ton tor right to
cut. The commissioner discusses each of
these points at length, and urges the i'm
pOrtance OF, to some extent, relieving real
estate OF the heavy burden of taxation
imposed upon it.
Considering the importance of union
Of action among adjacent States in the
matter of taxation, the Commissioners
recommends that Maine take the lead in
organizing an Interstate Tax Association
composed Of delegates from the different
States; to adopt uniform rules of taxa
ton on all property and business especial
y involving different State Jurisdictions.

greatly under the influence Of liquor. He
was taken to a station house, to sober Off
He was locked up, and about $50 O'Clock
the station keeper took peep through the
IRON bars to see if the inmate was asleep,
and found HIM in a sleep that knows no
waking. Deceased was 4 we'll educated
man, about sixty Years of age. and was
clerk in the Treasury Department. He
leaves a wife, from whom he separated
few months since and who is now a clerk
in the Land Office He had been on a spree
for week or ten days. Mr.. Seiders was Il
native of Waldoboro' in this State, where
he taught school and practiced law In
1857 he moved to Kansas, but returned to
Waldoboro' in 1861 and was employed for
a time in the Custom House in that district.

ton and elevation Of Africa and the
sons of her soil and to this end he
was in favor of directing the legisla.
ton OF Congress upon that subject.
After Judge Gillenwaters had closed
his speech Col. George r. Mcclellan
addressed the people quite briefly. His
speech consisted principally of a few
suggestions in regard to the currency,
bonds, &C., after which a short reply
by each.
For the past the people of Jul coun-
ty have been rather asleep upon the
political prospects and have manifest
ed an indlsposition to express them
selves upon the subject but after the
speaking was over a decided change
seemed to come over the majority of
those present. Judge Gillenwaters'
speech had its effect. The idea that
had been previous in the minds of a
good many that Judge Gillenwaters
could not successfully meet MIR. Butler
on the stump was disappointed, and a
universal satisfaction seemed to take
hold Of the minds Of the majority pres
ent that Gillenwaters was the very mar
for, Butler, and that when the canvass
thoroughly opened he will bring out
the records Of the six years through
which Buffers experience as a Con-
gresham and representative of this
District extends, and in the light ofday
and before the minds of the good peo-
pie of this District show the fact wheth-
er or not Mr.. Butler has beenstrue to
his constituency, and faithful to his
country. The prospects are that the
canvass is going to be n of the most
exciting and striking one we have had
for years, and it is to DO hoped that
the track will be cleared for Judge Gill
lenwaters to make the race. More

WHAT DOES 1T MEAN,

What does Mr.. Butler mean by his
determination to make the c for
Congress regardless of "straight-out
Republican Convention" For several
month fnis friends baye been Boosting
over his prospects to get the nomina'
ton and thereby carry the Republican
vote, but strange to say the programme
has been changed. There is one Of two
things certain, Mr.. Butler either in.
tends to run and defeat the Republican
party, or he is expecting the Demo
cratic party to take him up and put
him through. Poor Roderick he does
not seem to know what is best to do,
He lodges Gillenwaters on the stump,
but is "still hunting with his old pc.
litical enemies.
