THE DUTY ON MARBLE.

The tariff bill introduced into the nation
al house of representatives by Mr.. Nor
rison, chairman of the committee on ways
and means, is more important to the in
terests of Vermont than, perhaps, our citi-
Zens are aware. We have time, this morn
ing, only to refer to one branch thereof,
and that merely by brief statement OF
facts. The bill provides that, from and
after July /, 1876, duties shall be collected
and paid on marble, which is divided into
three classes, as follows First ON white
statuary, brocatella, Sienna, and verdi
antique marble in blocks, sixty cents per
cubic foo, and marble exceeding six
inches in thickness is "block" within the
meaning OF the act second-on blocks OF
vened and all other descriptions of marble
not included in the first class, thirty cents
per cubic foot and third, on sawed ,dress-
ed, or polished marble, marble slabs, and
marble paving tile, ten cents per square
foot, and ten cents per foot additional for
each inch or fractional part thereof in ex-
cess of two inches in thickness.
BY the laws, now in force, marble of the
first class pays a duty of one dollar per
cubic foot, and a further duty of twenty
five per cent. dd 0alorem is, pays
specific duty of one dollar for each cubic
foot, and, in addition thereto, further
duty of one quarter of its value. The sec
ond class pays duty of fifty cents per
cubic foot, and in addition thereto twenty
per cent. I'D oalorem These duties, if we
remember correctly, have remained un-
changed since June 1864. On marble of
the third class, as fixed by the act of 1870,
the duty is thirty-five per cent. adj raiorem,
and 'etwenty-fiv cents for each superficial
square foot not exceeding two inches in
thickness" and ten cents per foot for
each inch or fractional part thereof in ex-
cess of two inches in thickness.
1t will be seen that should Mr.. Nor
rsons bill become law, the duty on
blocks of white statuary, brocatella, Sienna
and verdantique marble is reduced forty
cents per cubic foot, and 1t 10 not required
w laJ al oA eutofsM butJ thS H"ty va
blocks of veined and all other descriptions
of marble, not mentioned above is reduced
twenty cents per cubic foot and the ad
oalorem duty abolished and that the duty
on sawed, dressed, and polished marble.
marble slabs, and marble paving tiles is re
duced fifteen cents per superficial square
foot, and the ad Ualorem duty Abandoned
the whole reduction being in some in
stances, more than five hundred per cent.
From 1864 to 1870, duty was prescribed
only on marble in blocks, and the result
was that small mills, for saving it, were
erected IN large number in different parts
OF Italy, the marble sawed into slabs and,
perhaps, polished, and then imported, tn,
duty being computed at the same rate
which was provided for blocks. So that

Report Of the Overseer of the Poor.
To tie citizens of Rutland In submit
ting to you a full and detailed statement of
the expense of the poor during my admin.
istration as overseer, am aware that the
figures will surprise many but the causes
for such material increase in expense over
previous years, trust, will be apparent to
all who investigate the matter fairly. 1t
will be seen that in addition to au unusual
amount of pauperism and distress in our
midst, the year past has produced an ele-
ment of expense far beyond that of any
former year. ! refer to what are termed
tramps. 1t is only necessary to refer to
bills presented by the jailor and others who
have lodged and fed this class, to under
stand something of the number who have
been cared for The aid given to poor and
distressed families outside the poor farm,
has far exceeded that of any previous year,
owing not only to the increased number of
persons relieved, but to The peculiar neces.
stiles which your overseer found many
families involved, among which may be
mentioned great desltution of clothing,
unfit places of abode, an unusual amount
of helplessness by reason of sickness, and
the support of many families whose pro-
tectiug heads were incarcerated in jail, or
out of work, many of them for months.
Your overseer, while he has endeavored
to alleviate human suffering, has always
had conscientious aims to suppress fraud
and imposturc Still he, like most men in
the same position, may have been imposed
upon in rare cases.

We call attention to the report of the au-
ditors for detailed statement of the town
finances, from which it will be seen that
the debt of the town has been somewhat
increased since the last report. An exam
ination of the list of orders herewith APP
pended, will explain wherein the increase
has arisen. 1t will be necessary to raise
$a3,6l5.07 to meet current expenses and
liabilities maturing the coming year. A
tax OF 30 cents on the dollar will barely
pay the ordinary expenses of the town, in
GLIDING interest on the bonded debt. We
concur with the recommendation of the au-
ditors as to provision for the ensuing year.

brought him back to Kenosha County
and lodged him in jail 1t was known
that his father, John BOhanan, had
died, and that a cOrOners inquest had
been held and found that he came to
his death by wounds inflicted by Will
liam Bohanan in an affray, and that
William had left for parts unknown.
The Sheriff consulted the District At
torney as to what better be done and
was advised that it was best to find and
arrest William. The BOhanan family
and hired men either could not or
would not give any information as to
where William had gone. SO the Sher-
if made inquiry at the post offices for
letters to the BohananS and found that
letters had been mailed for them from
Minnesota and Iowa, the last of which
had been mailed at Lyle, Iowa. HAY
ing this information the Sheriff went
Immediately to Webster City, Iowa, and

any assistance, but could give no infor-
