ANNIVERSARY.

The annual anniversary of the bible
school, connected with the Delaware
Avenue Baptist church took place last
evening. The auditorium of the church
was handsomely trimmed with ever.
greens, and there were over seven hum
dred persons present. The exercises
were the same that usually take place
on such occasions, and they were thor
oughly enjoyed by those present. After
the exercises were completed those pres
ent repaired to the lecture room where
Refreshments were served. During the
evening several presentations took place,
among them being handsome American
silver watch to Mr.. Z, F. James, super
intendent of the school. The watch
was presented on behalf of the class by
Mr.. p. b. Ayers, in very neat and
appropriate speech. Miss Flora Ayers
little girl five years of age, presented
Mr.. Harry Cantwell with basket OF
fruit, and in doing so said:
"Mr. Cantwell, present you with
this basket of fruit from papa's class"
Mr.. Cantwell, was so overcome with
surprise, that he was unable to respond
The affair was very pleasant one and
will long be remembered by those who
were present.

MCCLELAN'S VIEW oF TILE WAp

MCCLELAN's VIEW OF THE WAR.
Perhaps no oginion from an American
source upon the probabl future of
the Eastern war, provided it be still
further waged, ought to be of more
value to Americans than that of Gen.
Mcclellan In 1855, before the fall
of Seqastopol, he was sent to the
Crimea as United States commits
sioner to observe that war. His re-
port on the military system of the
principal European powers, which
was the result of his observation at
that time, is now a standard work
He has closely watched the progress
and details of the present Eastern
war, and has written a series af artl-
cles for the North American Review,
giving historical and critical exam
ination of that contest. In the cur
rent number of the North American
Review, just published, he anticipates
that Erzeroum will be taken by the
Russians, and that "we will soon
hear of the fall of Sophia, the occu
patton of Philipopolis, and an advance
in force on Adrianople," the second
city in Turkey in population and
wealth, besides being only l34 miles
from Constantinople, with a connec.
ting railroad, and when taken by
| the Russians in 1929 the Sultan i'm

mediately sued for peace. 1t is pos
sible that in consequence ofthe heavy
SHOWS and extreme cold now prevail
ing at the seat of war the contest
may be prolonged to another cam
paign, but Gen. Mcclellan thinks the
Turks have not much to gain by the
delay.
"Their resources" he declares,
"are nearly exhausted, while those
of Russia are not. 1t now seems
probable that nothing short OF
foreign interference-and that IN the
shape of very numerous and strong
battalions and formidable navy
can save them. There is only one
power, [England!l if there be even
one, that has any disposition to in
terfere, and it is doubtful whether
other and stronger powers will per-
init that interference, II pould ap-
pear to be wise TOR the Turks to
make peace promptly, and on the best
terms they cdn:"

EUROPE's GRAIN TRADE.

LONDON, Jan. 1.-The Mark Lane Ez
press, in its reviews of the corn trade for
the past week. says: "The appearance
of the young wheat plant is satisfactory
in spite of the GERM nation of the grain
having been slow,owIng to the saturated
condition of the soil. The weather has
been very severe in Scotland, but in the
South fair breadth of land is under
wheat. In the upper districts farm labor
is still much behindhand. The position
OF the grain trade at Mark Lane and the
provinces is decidedly strong, and with
the turn of the year it is likely that con
siderable activity will ensue. The sup
plies of English wheat cont nue. very
limited. Although holders have not been
able 10 obtain higher prices the tendency
has certainly been in their faver. The
importation of foreign wheat intoL ondon
has been more moderate, last Mondays
returns showing a total of only 48 ,00O
quarters, the the decrease being due to
falling of IN the arrivals of Indi an pro
duce and the closing up of the North
Russian ports.

Can you inform me respecting taxation
IN Jersey City and the rural portions of
New jersey also; and approximately
how much less of animal taxes Is paid
there than Is levied on the same amount
OF property IN corresponding cities and
country places In New York State.
suppose person was to own a. house
and lot worth $40, 900, and personal prop
erty money lent 500, 900, about what
amount would he be assessed for in
most places In New Jersey? Also, what
sum lhow many dollars) would pay his
tax In Jersey City, and what would be
districts in New JERSEY? @ " '"' '''
In New York State such a person
would, think in most places, be tax ed
about 90 per CENT on the real estate, or
say SO 1000, and on his personal property
about 40 per cent. or say, $4,000. The
percentage would thus be levied on $46, :
900 in all, In most places outside Of
New York city aud Biooklyn he would
annually pay about per cent or say
$500. Hould it be one-fourth, one-half,
or three-fourths of this sum in Jersey
City, and how as to the intei ior of New
jersey? INQUlRER.
Reply.-The law requires prop ,rty in
New Jersey TO be assessed at such q val
nation as 1t would be taken at from "a
solvent debtor In payment of debt, but
the practice Is variable, and not to ba
asctrtained in detail except through a
wider acquai nrance In New Jersey than
we posses. In jersey City, we are told
real estate is valued at about 30 per cent,
OF It's actuul worth, and .the tax rate var
les between and 3per cent. on this val
uation. In the rural parts of the State,
what information we possess leads to the
belief that the requirments Of the law
erty assessed at two-thirds or more of lis
mar ket value. As to the taxation Of
visible personal property, we think ne
dist is made, and as to money
| bonds, &c. that the amount Of taxation
depends upon the respective success OF
the owner and the assessor in the game
| of hide and seek!
