strings, and was very small, being held in

rams horns; their fluic was the same as the

Additional Tax on Coal.

There is q movement on foot in the House oil
Representatives OF Pennsylvania to lay a direct
tax of three cents per ton ON anthracite COAL
The members from the coal counties, says the
Reading Eagle, "are opposing the bill. Coal Is
necessity used now in almost every iamny IN 'his
State, aud tax on this article Will fail heaNiy Oh
tho poor man LuXurles, and not the neceSsares
OF life, should be taxed. To show new 'his Dill
will work: If it becomes law there will have
to be paid by the men at tie mines IN schuyihiii
county alone about SCI, 900 year, being about
one-third Of the taxes that county will have to
pay.' The tax will be just so much adaeu 70 'ne
price of the coal, and considering the pro'ection
which PENNSYLVANIA has had Oh COAL it is expect
ing rather 100 much from those living outside o'
the State to suppose they will bear an indirect
tax by the Government and direct tax by the
State at the same time.

CHRISTMAS PRESENTS.
HOW A WILMINGTON YOUNG LADY RECEIVES
VALUABLE PRESENTS AND LOSES THEM.

HOW A WILMINGTON YOUNG LADY RECEIVES
VALUABLE PRESENTS AND LOSES THEN.
Some time ago, beautiful and amiable
young lady of tins city, went, with ner parents,
TO McComb CITY Miss, there to reside. Being
of a vivacious and sprightly disposition, and
possessed of pretty face and winning man
ners she soop drew around her numerous ad-
mirers who We'd with each other in their Ell
forts to please and attract.
Among her admirers was youth from New
Orleans, who, by his good appearance, polish
ed address, and plethoric purse, soon placed
himself "a huckleberry above the perslm-
mons" of his competitors, and distanced them
all in The race for my lady's favor. lie was
assiduous in his attentions and bestowed upon
her numerous presents.
On last Christmas Day, his generosity reach
ed the extent of making her Christmas pre-
seuts, consisting of beautiful Paisley shawl
and valuable gold ring. These were grace,
fully received, with a futter of thanks, and
the donor, no doubt, mentally placed foremost
in the list of the dearest and best of men,
But not long was the young lady allowed 10
rejoice in the possession of her beautiful and
valuable presents. A few weeks after Christ

The Commerc'al Of yesterday, lectures the
Brelkyvater Light fpr copying an editorial article
FROM paper in this city which it terms an "ad
yertising sheet" alludiDg to the Chronicle,
weekly penny paper recently started. The Com
ynercial says this article abused some of the best
men Of this county, and names Lewis Thompson,
Esq. as one of those abused by the Chronicle.
The Chronicle is understood TO be an organ of
Messrs. Baker and Pickles, and perhaps other
Radical members Of the City Council. From its
first issue it has defended and Landed these gen
tlemen and their acts in the Council and has en-
joyed the pleasure OF receiving the bulk OF the
CITY printing and advertising. In fact the ar
rangement looks very much as though the Radi-
cal side Of the Council had resolved to establish
press to defend them from criticism, and defame
any one who dared to question their public acts
This is very much like the course pursued by
Tweed and his co.operators in the inception of
the swindlipg operations of the notorious New
York Ring
But the Wilmington Council Ring do not, it
would seeln, propose TO stop heie. The Chron'.

But be this as it may. 1t 5 evident that The

as if the whole Radical party machinery OF this
