j. ". Holmes. Esq:
sIn-Replying to your inquiry, have
to state that farmer or planter who
simply supplies his employees with what
manufactured tobacco they need for their
own personal use, and for their special
accommodation, and not with view to
gain or profit to himsclf, is not regarded
as engaged in the business of selling
manufactured tobacco, and would not be
required to pay special tax for thus sup
plying his hired laborcrs with tobacco.
A farmer or planter who, solely for
the accommodation of his laborers, as
above stated, not with view of gain or
profit to himself, even though he charges
q price for the tobacco in advance of
what he pays by the box sufficient to
make himself entirely whole, that is to
reimburse himself for such loss, cost and
expense as he may necessarily incur, is
moi held to be liable to pay for the
special tax.
Yours, respectfully,
T.. NJ. BRAYToN, Collector.

VALUABLE PROPERTY Within the last week,
C- Maier, Es one of our wealthiest farmers,
became the owner of the valuable property
known as the BUSH claim," situated about
half mile above town, and Immediately ad-
Joining the fair grounds. This is one OF the
best FARMS in the valley, and right on the ont
skirts of town, is most desirable place for a
family residence For several years Mr.. Maier
has desired to secure a home in town so as TO
be able to educate his children, and We are glad
that he has at length realised his wishes. Mr..
c. :. Bush still retains the fair grounds, having
only sold the farm and family residence.

TERRITORIAL LAws-N. H. Owings, secre-
tary for the territory, has published the laws
| adopted at the late session of the legislature.
In note appended at the end of the volume
he furnishes the following explanation of the
remarkable shape in which the laws are printed
Many of the manuscript laws of the sixth
biennia! session OF the legislative assembly ap-
pear defective in orthography and punctuatiop
in numbering of, and references 10. sections and
chapters, etc. 1t being my duty to have the
printed copies conform with thes, laws. in No
case has there been departure from the origi-
nal text IN phraseology or punctuation. Sug-
gested corrections in spelling and numbering OF
sections have been made by enclosing the mat
ter IN brackets and superfiuous matter indicated
IN parentheses; but, II the civil practice act,
the Arabic and Roman notation and the mum
berinS of chapters and sections have been print
ed rs found in the original law.
In looking through the book We SnI whole
sections that are without punctuation marks
and otherwise incorrect. Wepresume that the
secretary had no discretion in the prem ses, and
was obliged TO print the laws as they were re-
turned to his Office. 1t is not expected that
every member of the legislature shall be a
finished scholar, able to speak and write in ae-
cordance with the rules Of grammar To meet
contingencies of this kind, enrolling clerks are
employed, whose duty it is to make out correct
and fair transcripts of the laws as passed. As
further safe guard the respective houses have
enrolling committees who are expected to make
all needeful conections and thus make certain
that the laws will appear on the statute books
in creditable manner All these safe guards
appear to have been neglected by the late leg
islature, and the result is the laws are given to
the public in style that VIII make them the
laughing stock of the country. Don Quixctte
killed chivaly by making it ridiculous. The
memhers of the late legislature brought repre-
sentative institutions into Gisrcpu.e by making
them ridiculous

Travelling in Land of Leeches.

Monotonous as it was, writes traveller
in Malaga, there was constant excite
ment in watching for, and pulling of,
the numberless leeches which sWarmed
in every direction. The ground seemed
alive; wherever you looked you saw
small bodies resembling fine "elastic
(similar to piece out of the side spring
of boot), gracefully erect, and making
toward you with the mode of progress
sion peculiar to their genus. On start
ing, I had encased my legs in thick
knickerbocker stockings, into which /
thrust my trowsers, securely tying them
on by means of tape, thinking myself
perfectly secure. L had trudged on
without caring for the voracious worms
which constantly saw on the bare legs
of my companions, each of whom carried
q stick, at the end of which was small
bundle of tobacco and lime, covered
with piece of muslin, one application
of whicl. sufficed to make leech drop
of, apparently stupefed. At noon we
reached the banks of the Salamah river,
where it assumed the aspect of a noun
tain torrent, and, being anxious to con-
template at my ease what was grand
sight in the midst of forest-the water
foaming and roaring among powders Of
great magnitude ordered halt, and
proceeded to take off my shoes and
stockings and bathe my feet. Oh, hor-
ror my stockings were full OF blood;
my European contrivances had failed,
and, instead of keeping out my enemies,
had offered them safe retreat, for
discovered no less than nine gorged
leeehes in one stocking and eight in the
other. From that moment discarded
shoes and stockings, and, doing in Ma
lava as the Malays do, ever after walked
barefoot, armed with a stick, tobacco
and lime, which found most effectiv
recurring onlv little vigilance on
own part and that of my immediate
lowers in our Indian mode Of pr
sion.
