written by Francisco de Souza, 1870, and

started in for his seasons campaign against
outside producers. He has entered into a

proposes to put up an assortment, consist

berries, Strawberries, and such other articles
as are produced as are produced in this

on outside goods gives him a margin by

A Cow that Gives Butter.

Mr.. f. w. Green, See Ohio Centen-
NAL Board, recently received letter from
A. Lyons, of High Hill, Muskin-gum Co.,
O., describing COW in his possession whose
milk produces butter i'll stead Of cream.
We copy from the letter as follows, leaving
our readers to comment for themselves
This cow has had her second calf, and
her milk produces butter without churn-
ing. When set in common pans for TWEEN
ty-four hours, butter rises on the milk in
stead of cream, and all we have to do is to
take the ladle and throw it into the butter
bowl with two or three minutes working
it is ready for the table, and it is superior
butter, at that. The quantity produced is
fifteen to twenty pounds per week when
she is fresh She is full breed Durham
and very peculiar animal.

The following excellent rules of provid-
ing peace in the family have been given:
l. Remember that our will is likely to
be crossed every day, so prepare for 1t.

we are not to expect too much.
>. To learn the different temper and dis
position Of each individual
T. To look on each member of the Elmi-
ly as one for whom we should have care.
5. When any good happens to any one
to rejoice at it.
G. Wnen inclined to give an angry an
swer to Overcome evil with good"

feel irritable, to keep very strict watch
over ourselves.

ing, to drop word of kindness and SYM
pathy to them.

pleasing, and to put little aunoyances out
Of the way.
10. 70 take q cheerful view of the
weather and Of everything, and to encour-
| age hope.
II. To speak kindly to the servants; to
praise them for little things when you can.
II. In all little pleasures which may oc-
cur, to put self last.
13 To try for ''the soft answer which
turneth away wrath.
II. When We have been panied by an
unkind word or deed, to ask ourselves
Have [ not often done the same and been
forgiven?"
Is. In conversation not to exalt our
selves, but to bring others forward.
IS. To be very gentle with the young

Farm Mortgages.

Almost every one who has had occasion
to buy a farm to and the have e portion OF
the purchase money on mortgage, must
have felt the injustice of being taxed for
what he does not really own. a man buys
a farm for say $4,000, and $1,000 re-
mains, he pays taxes to the full value Of
the $4,000, besides paying $500 III this
state or $500 in the west for the use OF the
So 5000 remaining unpaid on the land. But
the government not only makes hlm pay
a tax on the whole $4,000, supposing the
farm to be assessed at the full value, but
GENES the second time and taxes the holder
of the $4,000 he mas 'out at intcrest." "
Now the man who has money at interest is
determined to make six per cent, at least,
on his money He must do it to make it
worth his while to have money out at all.
! And 50 he looks about to see how he can
fix things as to make it fall on the holder
of the land So he either takes it into con-
sideration in fixing the price Of the land, il
he is selling, or if he is merely lender on
land he extracts a heavy bonus or buys
a mortgage at discount in order to make
himself whole and in this way the one who
is 50 unfortunate at to owe anything on
land pays taxes twice on his indebted por-
ton to one only when it is clear OF all incum
brances. This Is curious anomaly IL
law. Usually it is thought to be the &c
MUS Of good laws to favor the honest, indus
trious, struggling debtor but in this par
ticular case Of tax on mortgages this law
is made to operate in just the other way.
1t seems remarkable that any tax shoult
have ever been imposed On mortgages un
der the head Of property. If there be an,
tax on income, the money derived from
mortgages might have there a legitimat
place But as property it is clearly absurt
as mortgage is simply the evidence Q
debt 1t is no more property than is
duly-attcsted receipt for money paid. 1t
indeed nothing but promise to give pro
perty in case certain stipulations are no
carried out in manner and form as aforc
said 1t is in no sense property, yet i
E property it is taxed, although the propert
which it covers is already taxed in tn
hands of the one to whom it has bee
decided.
1t came up before the supreme court {
| California recently, by the objection {
mortgage-holders to pay this sort of ''pr(
perty" tax, and the court decided in fave
of the holders And what do other state
f say in which this anomaly exists Ger

In Regards to Roads.

\ correspondent Of the Bucks county
IRtcLligcncer gives the following sensible
hints in regard to road-making and mend
ing:
"With forty years experience and obser-
vation in road-mending, as now practied by
supervisors, [ can see no Improvement IN
that time. 1t is fair to presume that as
they have followed the footsteps Of their
predecessors, they will be likely to so con-
tinue, unless there is a law made to change
their customs, or good reasons given that
will make voters take action and only elect
such men as will promise reform.
Il have road front of about 1900 feet,
| 1000 level and the balance hill. The gut
ters are kept open, as think it pays to put
all [ can get out out of them hog yard and
stables. The level part Of the road has not
cost the township anything for the last six
teen years, and the road is great deal bet
ter than where the dirt has been thrown
into it. The hill, with an hours work af-
ter a hard rain, can be kept in good order
by clearing the crossways.
"Now, think any observing man will
admit that the more you round up road
that has clay in the soil the more mud there
will be in winter and more dust in summer.
1t also makes the road rough in the season
when it is most pleasant to travel as it is
customary for the supervisors to throw sods
in the roads in May and June. l would
Ike to sec a law passed that would require
or compel property holders to remove the
earth taken out Of cutters by supervisors
or contractors, or in case of neglect or re-
fusal, to pay at least onc-half the cost of re-
moval Also, that supervisors be required
to divide the township into small sections,
and to sell the sections to the lowest bidder
at public sale, taking security to have the
roads kept in good repair. | think this
would be a great saving to taXpayers.'

Wouldn't fool with the Law.

The other day an honest looking man
called into the Office Of justice of the
peace, and wanted to know if he could
commence suit against neighbor for as
sault and battery. He was informed that
he could, and he frightened up, and con-
tinued
"WelI, make out a lawsuit right away.
he kicked me mighty hard, and want you
to plug the law right into him.
AS the justice reached for warrant the
visitor asked:
Glow much will you fire him ?"
II can't tell anything about the case un-
til it is tried, was the reply.
"Then he may get OFF,
"Yes."
"And 1 may have the costs to pay my
solf?"
'Yes."
"And you won't agree to fine him ?"
His honor began to read frigid law let
ter on the practice Of law, but the man for
whom it was intended started for the door,
saying:
Il won't fool around with law. I've got
three dogs and two grown-up sons, and 1
guess the pile can lick him blind in two
minutes 2"

Milwaukee Tobacco.

(Fron1 an Erchange,)
-Four little girls in Milwaukee are en-
ployed by a certain well known wealthy to-
bacco dealer to pick up whatever may be
found in saloons, on the streets and in the
cutters at one cent for very ten pieces,
whether large or small. Every cigar stump
and discarded "quid' is picked up, no mat
ter now dirty it may be, no matter who
has used it or where it is found. These
are used in the manufacture Of both choice
Havana cigars and paper chewing tobacco.
The longer and better "stumps" are un-
rolled and used for the former purpose,
while the ''quids, short stumps and soak
ed and rotten tips are made into chew
ing tobacco.

Important to Assessors.

Attorney General Lear having been ad-
dressed in relation to the law on the ques-
ton of the time when assessors elected in
February last would be inducted into Office,
replies that their term viii commence as
heretofore, at the expiration of the terms
of those elected on the third Tuesday in
February, 1875, and will continue until the
first Monday in April following the expira-
ton of their respective terms. In other
words, the assessors elected in February
will commence their terms of Office, next
fall, and continue in office until the first
Monday in April, 1873 There can be no
election in February next year, and asses
sors will not be chosen until the spring cleo
ton of the year following. Those who are
chosen at that time will commence their
duties on the first Monday of April ensuing,
and thereafter the elections and terms will
be regular, and occur annually.

Although this is leap year, girls should
think twice before they jump once. A
woman of White Haven, Pa, beat her hus-
band over the head with poker for being

that her husband had to pay the fine gives
Il silver lining to the affair, to be sure but
