District, yesterday afternoon, arrested and con-
veyed to New Castle Newton b. Eastburn, for
merly of the 7th Ward, for refusal TO pay city
and school taxes of 1875. 1t is alleged against

Of ono OF the ne ghboring hundreds his tax was
only obtained by a levy on his goods.
Mr. Provost says he called on Eastburn In ad-
dtion to sending him bill in the usual manner,
several times, all OF which he met with posi-
tive refusal to pay. Eastburn be says, claimed
that there WAS no law for the collection of the
tax, and also persuaded some Of his peghbors in
to the same belief, 20 thai the business of col
lection in the northern district was to some e1
tent impeded. As no goods could

vost called upon the City Solicitor and was
confirmed in his opinion of his right to take the
body. The Mayor also expressed the same opin-

collector while making the arrest. When Mr..
Provost went to arrest Eastburn, the latter

collector and the arrest was made.
The collector desires US to say that similar
proceeding will be enforced in all such cases. and
the Mayor has promised protection to Mr. Pro-

sirous OF an amicable settlement of tax bills, and
parties who are unable to pay at once will avoid

nnkey's Great &ona--.sThe Ninety
and Ntne.D

THE history Of the song which Mr.. Sankey
sings so often, and which we give below, THE
Ninety and Nine" is curious. 1t originally ap-
peared in the corner Of an American newspaper,
from the pen of Miss E. O. Olephane. When
Mr. Sankey WAS among the Scottish Highlands
he tried to fud some hymn peculiarly suited to
the pastoral tastes of his auditors, who were
mainly shepherds. He discovered these lines in
the Rock, an English evangelical newspaper.
He adapted them to Wild, plaintive air, aud
they soon sung themselves into the hearts. not
only of rustic Hghlanders, but lords and Indies
Of tastidious London.l
There were ninety and nine that safely lay
In the shelter of the fold
Bu one as out on the hills away,
Far OF from the gates OF gold
Away on the mountains wild and bare,
Awav from the tender hepherd's care.
" Lord thou hast here thy ninety and nine;
Are they not enough or thee ?"
But he Shepherd made answer: "This OF mine
Has wandered away from me;
And, although the road be rough and steep,
I go to the desert to dnd my Sheep
But none OF the ransomed ever knew
How deep were the waters crosAed;
Nor bow dark was the night that the Lord passed
through
Ere he found his sheep that was lost.
Out in the desert he heard its cry
Sick and helpless and ady to die,
." Lord, whence are those blood drops ali the way
That mark out the IN untain's track7'
- rhey were shed for one who had g ne astrsy
Ere the Shepherd could bring him back
Lord, whence are thy hands 80 rent ami torn -
" rhey are pierced tonight by many thorn"
And al through the mountains thunder rlven.
And up from the rocky steep,
There rose cry to the gate Of heaven:
"Rejoice | have found my sheep
And the angels echoed around the throne:
Rejoice. For the Lord brings back bis own |"

Mr. Kenney, the proprietor of the Turks Head

have grown up in this country with Republican
