TAxEs.-Collector Asbury informs
us that tax receipts issued to this date,
exceed tho number paid up to this
time last year, by about two hundred
and fifty, and that the tax levy IL from
twenty five to Thirty per cent. less
than last year. Consequently there is
less growing about the Court House
than usual. With abundent crops,
good prices and greatly lessened taxes
the people Of Wapello county ought
to be reasonably happy.
