YOUNG HOLLIS PEEvY.

Villate's IS drive of logs had ianmed
as the foot of Red Rapids in the very
throat of the main $ pitch, where the
Aux Lievres falls over the lodges into
the g glut-hole, fifty feet below.
A wilder spectacle / never saw

q space Of eight years. The gates of the
&he volume of water was immense.
Rocks, which In summer stand twenty
feet out of the rapids, were now under
Water. The water came pouring down
Ghe long incline, black and swift as an
axrOw, and went over into the pool at one
thunderous plunge, throwing up vast
column OF mist. Two lodges only, situ-
Abed In the very throat of the sspitch, !"
showed above water. These rocks the
hGumbering company had designed TO
blast ont the previous autumn, but had
been prevented by heavy rains. They

thousand logs were liberated at once,
and went down together into the rnpids.
The older drivers exclaimed that it

but nothing could be done it broke and
went out with rush. We, who were
ahead, ran on down the lodges to see it
go through the falls, and we had to run
last TO keep up. The instant the logs
entered the rapids they left us behind.
We could see them going down, how
ever, end over end, and hear them
s. boom against the sunken rocks.
Turtlotte and q Welshman named Fin

cali out in French that the logs were
jamming, and saw the butt ends of great
sticks fly up, glittering, out of the water.
The logs had struck and hung on one of
the center rocks, and on the shelving
lodges upon the east side. The ends of
these large sticks, three or four feet
across, stood fifteen feet or more out OF
the water. We ran on, clambering from

No Terrorism in Arkansas.

President Grant apparently drew his san.
culinary picture Of nffaiis in Arkansas from
the report of General Sheridan, who in his
turn relied upon the statements of number
of Outrage manufacturers" at Little Rock
Governor Garland, however, took an unex-
pected turn upon the individuals who signed
the card saying that reign of terror existed
in that State. lie directed the Prosecuting
Attorney to have them summoned before the
Grand Jury, and if the facts as stated were
found TO be true, that the guilty parties be
prosecuted. The Grand Jury thereupon ex-
amincd about forty OF the signers of the card,
and were unable to find single instance
where man had been deprived of his right
to vote, or any other right, but on the con.
trary unusual quiet prevailed. They could

que, the nearest approach to it being a
harmless Knight Of Pytlas, who was doubt
less surprised at the intimation that his or

instead Of deeds Of charity and beneficence.
And yet General Grant thinks lie ought to
interfere and change Ill ihis-and instead OF
peace carry a sword into the now quiet
borders of Arkansas.

while his attention was directed to the auction.

Tax Oh CORPORATIONS.

The Importance of the subject, we think
justifies US in occup ing the space in our COL
umns necessary for the insertion of the fol-
lowing article, which we find in the Balti-
more Gazette of n late date While there
should be no question Of the incorporated
companies Of this State having the right to
refuse paying taxes on their capital stock,
when it is exempted hv their charters, still
there is great doubt tha, this also cxempts
whatever property the corporation may be-
come possessed of in its corporate capacity,
as it grows in wealth and power. If such
property is exempted the effect would be,
that valuable estates which are now in the
hands of individuals, and upon which the
taxes, both State and county. are paid, might
go into the possession Of somc incorporated
company, for instance a bunk, to which it
of taxation that much reduced under this
claim of exemption. In fact, there is valua-
bic farm situated in This county, which for
merly paid considtra le tax, but is now
owned by bank in the city of Baltimore
which we believe refuses TO pay the taxes
upon it.
We scarcely think the Court of Appeals,
could sanction the right claimed of exemp-
ton from taxation If property coming into
the possession Of incorporated companies be-
cause their capital stock is exempted by their
charters.
The capital stock Of n company may be,
we will say. 100000, divided into shares of
500 each, and by tie charter owing to the
enterprise being laudable one, fraught with
great advantage to II c community, the stock
may be exempted from taxation. The com.
pany prospers, its stock Incomes worth $500
per share, owing to the large dividends it de-
clares; still, under the char er, which is invio-
liable, no tax can be collected from it. In the
course of its business |, becomes in its cor

THE Fox HUTT.- Saturday last was quite

tised for that time attracted tie hunters with
their hounds; others came to attend court,
and many came because the day was bright,
the air bracing and the sleighing enjoyable.
Altogether, Bel Air has not been so animal
cd and CAV since the cattle show.
The fox hunt came off duly, according TO
agreement. The fox was fine, large animal
which had been previously captured by Mr.
John S. George, on the farm of Mr. Howard
Walters, near Cooptown. At o'clock it
was released, in the field in the rear of the
Changers Hotel, and disappeared over the
hills east of the town. Half an hour after
wards the hounds, twelve or fifteen in num-
ber were let loose. They struck the trail at
