The officers OF the museum state that numbers Of

A singular Case.

From the last number of the Fin
castle (Va) Herald, we extract
the following remarkable case, con-
cerning lady and her ring. The
lady is Miss Mary Housman Sister
of Mr.. Lewis Housman, Jr., and
aunt of Mr.. Lewis Housman, j., of
Fincastle) an aged lady living or
Mill Creek, in Botetourt county.
wears ring with which there is con
nected singular circumstance, that
cannot be accounted for upon any
reasonable hypothesis known to
medical or pathological science. The
ring has been in her possession for
many years, is worn on the second
joint of one of her fingers, and the
curious part of it is that she can not
give it up without endangering her
life by bleeding at the nose, The
moment the ring Is taken from her
finger her nose will at once COM
mence bleeding, and the opinion is
entertained by those who know the
lady well that if the ring were lost,
her death would st olce follow. The
story is vouched for by gentleman
whose veracity is unquestioned.

THE BILL.

4aE BILL
To The Weateru Assooiated Press.
WAsnrNaroN, D. c., Jan. 18--
In the Senate Mr.. Edmunds, FROM
the Special Committee appointed to
devise means for counting the Elec-
toral vote, submitted Q FeeoFt in
writing, accompanied by a bilk He
said the report, he was happy to say,
was signed by all the members of
both Committees, with one excep-
ton. The Committee would desire
20 take the bill up at the earlisst
possible day, probably Saturday,
but certainly Monday next, and
would press it to final consideration.
The Committee was of the opinion
that the measure they recommended
was not what could be called a CON-
nromise, but it was a measure of
Justice and in aid of constitutional
Government. No one would have
the right to say that anYnody'a

respect.

ASSESSMENT FOR 1877.
owing to the reduction in the value
of property under the last assessment,
1t is necessary that tho rate OF taxation
be increased.
The assessed value of real and person
al property for 1874, was 1,577 ,698 %,
and fer 1870, only 81 ,377, AIS 90, show
ing a loss in valuation of about $2OO,-
600 90.
Our County tax for 1875 was 40 cents
on the one hundred dollars, which is the
maximum rate under our statutes; but
with the present valuation, this rate will
annually increase our Indebtedness. To
obviate this difficulty, w0 recommend
the assessment of a special tax Tor tho
benefit of paupers.
The following is suggested as the rate
of taxation for 1877, on the one hundred
dollars: County tax, 40 cents; School
10 cents, Railroad, 10 CENTS Jail,.5 cts;
Pauper, 10 cents, which, with the Az
cents imposed by the State, makes 81 ~
on the one hundred dollars.
