The Somerset Dramatic Club gave their
first entertainment on Thursday evening
last. The drama, "Under The Gas Light"
was rendered on the occasion. The play
is difficult one, but they did not seem to
have the least difficulty in managing it,
Mrs Ed Wiseman, as Laura Cortland,
did splendidly. Miss Belle Hewitt, as
Pearl Cortland, rendered her part pefectly.
Miss Mary Darst, as Mrs. Van Dam,
could not have been excelled, while Miss
Cora Blakeney, as Peachblossom, and Miss
Mary Z. Finck, as Old Judas, did exceed
ingly we'll. The gentlemen all played
their parts far beyond the highest expecta-
tions Of the audience. 1t is admitted by
all who had the pleasure Of Witnessing it
to have excelled any entertainment ever
before given in this place. They have
promised to give our citizens another en-
tertainment about the Goth of June.

CHALFANT's HARDWARE HOUSE.
Immense StocA Of Goods.

Last Thursday ve dropped into the
Hardware Store Of Ii. c. Chalfart TO take
look at his stock Of goods. We knew
that he had large stock but had 10 idea
that he had such an immense stock and
such a great variety. Mr.. Chalfant, who
by the way il one Of the most accommodat-
ing fellow you ever saw, took US through
his business rooms and showed US his stock
of agricultural implements. He is selling
the Hubbard Combined Reaper and Now
er, which is by far the best machine in the
market One Of those machine can be
seen by calling at his Store ready to oper-
ate. 4 few among the other farming i'm
plements which he has for sale are the
Malta Corn Plow, Dayton improved Hay
Rake, and MeSherry's Grain Drill. Those
machines are all frat class. We then went
through his paint and oil room. Here
you will find the very best brands Of
White Leads, all kinds OF Oils, Putty,
\ Glass, Sash, &c, &c, which he is selling
\ cheaper than another house in this part OF
the State We then took look through
his -ale room. He has what may be said
to be a complete stock. 1t would be i'm
possible for US to innumerate the most use
full articles.
Mr.. Chalfant has marked all Of his good:
down and is selling them for less money
then ever before offered in this market. /
you wish any thing in his line give him {
call before going elsewhere ard you vii
/ save money.

STATE TAXES.

Controller Hobart has informed the
editor of the Eureka Sentinel that the
State revenues for this year alone, will
be more than sufficient to carry on the
State Government for this year and
next. 1t will therefore be unnecessary
to levy any State tax for the year 1873.
But unfortunately for tax payers, that
cannot be avoided. The law is manda.
tory on that point, aud the tax must be
levied and collected. though it should
work the greatest hardship on the tax
payers. 1t is wrong, in a year of general
business depression like the present, to
levy and collect taxes for which the
State has no immediate use; yet it is
difficult to place the responsibility on
person or party. AT the last session of
the Legislature the legality of the bull
lion tax was undecided, and taxes to
the amount of about 100000 were
withheld by the bonanza companies of
Storey county to await the result of the
suit. The Legislature was in doubt as
to what course to pursue. If there was
q certainty of the law taxing the pro.
ceeds of the mines being sustained by
the Courts, State taxation could be re-
duced; but as it was the State Con.
troller, whose opinions govern the
actions of the Legislature TO great ex-
tent IN raising or reducing taxes,
thought the litigation might last year
or more. and suggested in his report
tax levy for the ensuing two years Of
one dollar on each one hundred dollars
valuation of taxable property. At this
juncture compromise bill was pro-
posed, reducing the rate of taxation on
the net proceeds of mines. the mine
owners agreeing to pay the delinquent
taxes if the reduction was made. Had
that bill become law, the Legislature.
knowing that the delinquent taxes
would be paid, could have acted intel
ligently on the question of taxation,
and reduced the State rate accordingly.
Since then the Courts have sustained
the law, the bullion taxes have been
paid and the State Treasury is over
flowing with coin. but the State tax
must be collected. nevertheless. The
compromise bill. would have certainly
benefited tax payers at present; its de-
feat may benefit them hereafter.

drove him to drink. and forced his wife
to live with his sister. He went West
