IMPORTANT DECISION. In recent
decision the Supreme court of this
State decided that illegal tax certificate
are within the statute of limitation.
Upon careful consideration of the de-
cision, as we'll as the general princi-
Plies of law, the following propositions
may be deduced
a All illegal tax certificates is
sued since April 10, 1867, and bid of
by individuals, are barred in six years
OTTER their date, so That the holder has
no claim against the county to have
the amount of certificates and interest
refunded
(2.) All such certificates bid in
by the county are barred in six years
after they are transferred by the coun
ty
90 All certificates issued prior to
the passage of that law, on the 10th
of April 1867, which had one year to
run before they would be six years
old would be barred in six years after
they were issued, as one year would
be sufficient time in which we learn
Of the law and provide against its
effects
a. All illegal certificates issued
prior to the passage Of the act, and
not six years old, and which did not
have a year to ran before they would
be six years old, were barred in six.
years after the passage ofthe law
81 All illegal tax certificates six
years old at the date of the law were
barred in six years after the law was
enacted

TIE Chandler Bonanza at Hazel
Green.


The mines of J. Nj. Chandler 81
Son, located one-half mile East of the
village of Hazel Green, bid fair to
surpass any heretofore discovered in
that locality. A correspondent
writes us that the parties interested
have been working on toe same land
for several years and within that
time have discovered good mineral,
but it did not continue very long.
In Febauary last, the present lead
was developed, af er drifting about
two hundred feet East through min
cral veins varying in thickness
from l to 5 feet They are now
working at the depth of so feet.
Upon arriving at the bottom of the
shaft, grand sight presents itself.
The bright, shining ore may be seen
on every hand The mines are locat-
ed chiefly on land owned by the
Weatherbee estate, hehelrs of which
are now residents of st. Rose.
Further West, the drift runs into
land owned by J. NJ. Chandler, and
is equally as productive as in any
other part oftho lead. The owners
are now working East for the pur-
pose Of reaching another shaft, sunk
some time ago. Last week blast
was put in which broke down about
1000 lbs. They are working their
drift 10 feet wide, through almost
solid mineral Our correspondent
"assisted" in removing piece weigh
ing 600 1bs., by holding the candle,
while Mr.. Waters detached the sill
very looking ore with CAD. They
have piled up in the diggings OF the
present time about 1000 tbs. and
have taken out in all, 100000 lbs.
Twenty feet East of the chg opens
ing" is another that looks equally
as promising. Mr.. Chandler thinks
in the flint opening which lies below,
they will get the largest body
OF mineral. This land has been
thoroughly drained by Crawford
Mills & Co.'s level. Mr.. Chandler is
81 years of age, and has been engag-
ed in mining all his life, having spent
large sums of money in the work of
prospecting. His efforts have at last
been crowned with success, and who
shall say it is not well merited?

A WARNING TO YOUNG LADIES'
as an Offset to the swindling circu,
lars addressed to young girls, offer
ing situations in the Centennial
building, many of which have been
put in circulation, tho Woman's
Christian Association Of Philadel,
phia issue an address, in which they
say:
"We are assured that there is no
such firm connected with the Gen.
tennial con- mission, and the oisnniar
is IN reality a vile scheme TO entrap
the innocent into ruin. We appeal
to you then, by all your sacred re-
sponsibility as parents, guardians or
editors, to do your utmost to coun-
teract this nefarious plan, by expos
ure and warning. We entreat you
to disseminate the knowledge of the
facts as extensively as possible, that
the unwary may have their minds
opened to this impending evil, and
by Gods grace be preserved from
the net spread to entrap them."

THE Committee on Ways and
Means have refused to reccomend
the restoration Of tho tax on sea and
coffee, and herein have made mis-
take. This tax supplied eighteen to
twenty millions revenue without
costing the consumers OF tea and
coffee anything The secretary OF
the treasury has shown that these
commodities have cost US just as
much without duty as with i; the
exclamation being that when we
throw off the import duty, the tea
and coffee producing countries put
on q corresponding export duty, the
result being that our people pay a
tax 50 support the government of
China and Brazilin the enc case, and
the same tax to support their own
government in the other. The diff
ference, of course, is double the tax;
for besides loosing the $40, 900, 600
paid to the foreign governments, we
have to make up an equal amount to
supply the deficiency in our own
revenue, by paying taxes on other
ortialaa

A Joke on Moses.

The Richland Republican gets off
this good one on tho late candidate
for judicial honors-M. NJ, Strong:
1t is said that on the day of eleo>
ton Moses worked hard from morn
ing till sundown against the false and
faithless Cothren, and SO sutfocating
was the odor of the groceries on that
eventful day that his head became
dizzy and giddy, and the next morn
ing it ached and jumped as if il would
leave the body. The telegraph be-
gan to flash big majority for Cothron;
With every announcement poor Mos
es would utter yell of agony that
was sometimes protracted till another
report still moro terrible came in.
A regular crucifxion would have
been bliss to the pangs of Moses as
all his bright prospects departed and
gloom filing the landscape of his fu-
ture life settled around him. Sack
cloth and ashes what were they AS
symbols of the last wall OF dying
soul?
Some sy mpathizing friend ventur-
ed to ask Moses how he f,lt, when
Moses recovered sufficient to rotate
the following parallel: 81 feel some
like the hoy that begged his dad to
let him drive his bull to tho county
fair 80 that he could get premium
Bob was the boys name-started
the bull some week or 80 before the
fair, and drove all through the coun-
try, and all the farmers encouraged
Bob with the idoa that be would get
the premium. Bob was smart, got
his bail on tho ground, exhibited
him, treated the judges and offered
each of them q chanco for calf or
two, and each of them promised him
the premium. Bat Bob discovered
a good deal Of bargaining; winking
and blinking between other exhibit
ors and the judges. Poor Bob drove
his bull home again and dad met him
"Bob did you get the Premium
"No, dad, | did not get tho pre- MUM
but | gotta hi of a drive onthe buli'
well, continued Moses, ii did
not get elected but | got HI of {
drive al tho Judgeship!'
