HalloWeu Local News,

On Saturday morning last as Mr.. Selden
Bailey of this city was engaged in taking care
of his horse in his stable. he came near where
his dog was chained, when the animal sud-
denly sprang upon him and inflicted bad
wound upon his hand. The dog had been con-
fined to the stable for several weeks on ac-
count Of the supposition that he had been
bitten by the rabid dog that recently made
grand raid in this vicinity. Mr. Bailey i'm
mediately killedthe dog, and it is not definitely
known whether or not the animal was rabid.
1t is to be hoped that snch was not the case,
and that Mr.. Bailey will not materially suffer
from this untortunat, event. After consider
able delay Mr.. Bailey proceeded to Augusta.
and DR. Hill cauterised the wound and did
all that he could to relieve his patient from
pain and anxiety as to consequences. This
sad elimination of the mad dog excitement
should be a warning to all owners of dogs to
at once relieve themselves, their families and
the community generally from the possibility
of harm, by destroying, without mercy, every
dog about their premises, whether a suspicion
of evil rests upon them or otherwise. This
Is no time for hesitation or argument when
prompt action is demanded.
Legal notice has been given calling meet
ing of the citizens of IIalOwcll, on Monday
next, to vote yes or no on the question of GO
ing back to town form of government 1t
does not seem possible That after prosperous
record oftwenty-eight years a city, ourpeo-
pie will now consent to relapse into town
corporation. The matter has been pretty
thoroughly discussed on both sides. and it
only remains to he decided by direct vote of
the people. Those in favor of going back
to town will vote ''yes;" while those OPP
posed to taking backward steps, when sup
ward and onward" should be the cry, will en-
phatically vote "NO." ,..
A gentleman passing along Union street on
Saturday evening last, slipped upon the icy
sidewalk near the corner of water street, and
thrusting his hand through a square of glass
in the window of the clothing store of Mr.,
Ira True; resulting in quite severe cut of
the hand, and the utter demolition of the
square of glass aforesaid.
We learn that the temperance meeting in
the Congregational vestry, on Sabbath even
ing last, was well attended, and the exercises
were as usual interesting. 1t is said that
''church mouse made things lively for
while, not only during the evening, but at the
hour of morning service. The mouse was of
the musical persuasion, having a nest and
family in the cabinet organ used in the vestry.

Taxation of National Banks

The report of the State Assessor of New
York made to the Legislature on Friday
last, gives some very interesting and I'M
portant facts concerning the taxation OF
National Banks.
The taxes. says the report, paid on 500
057 ,247 of National bank capital in 1877,
in New York city TO the United States and
to the State, amounted to $3,072 1872. The
State taxes in the city in 1878 levied on an
equalized valuation of 81 ,292 ,942 $50 were
only $S,749,534-only s676, 702.29 more
than the taxes paid by the banks
to the Government and State on
el,292, SS5,603 less capital. Or, to put
the case still stronger, the taxes paid by
National Banks in the city in 1877 amount
ed to more than the State taxes paid by all
the counties in the State except New York
Kings, Albany and Westchester, and, 1884,
7l2 over. There is no capital invested
that can bear such enormous taxes. The
old Bank of New York, with capital of
e3.OO0,0 900, paid to the Government and to
the State last year, 1853, 900 of taxes-over
5per cent on its capital and the Board OF
Directors voted to recommend the reduction
of capital to 81 100000. The counties of
Oneida and Onondaga. with an assessed
value of $133, 64S,3 1928 real and personal,
and an equalized value of $50, 1853. 1877,
paid State tax last year of $249, 1853, and
the National Bank of Commerce paid State
and City taxes of 1864. POS, an excess over
the two counties of $l4,347. The nation
al taxes paid by this bank for the year end
ing July, 1877, amounted to $s7 ,545.79,
making a total of taxes of 1851, $50, which
Is equal to the State taxes paid by Dutch
ess and Erie counties on an equalized val
uation of 1928. 30s,75s. The real estate
OF the banks of the city is assessed at full
value; and to this value is added II per
cent. by the State Board of Equalization,
thus making this class of property q per
cent. over the price that under ordinary
circumstances it would sell for the legal
rule in the city for assessing real estate.
The report defends the National bank
system as 1.-THE best system for banks of
circulation that the wisdom and ingenuity
of man ever DEVISED" and predicts that
the man who makes war upon the banks
will be placed in the mummy chamber of
defunct politicians
In this connection we may state that we
took pains last August to ascertain how
much revenue the city of Augusta is de-
irving from the three National Banks in
this city, and found the following facts as
published in an article at that time.
The three banks in Augusta, have to-
gether a capital of $500, 900, divided into
shares of 800 each. The shares owned by
residents of other cities and towns in Maine
are not taxable here; but shares owned by
persons belonging in other States are sub
jected to city and village district assess
ment.
The number of shares of our city banks,
taxable in Augusta, is as follows:

CITY OF MEXICO. Feb. 10,
Via HAVANA. Feb. 49, 1870. !
The American excursionisrs have returned home.
The comments of the Mexican journals on their
visit are generally favorable. They remark
that If the samples brought and placed
on exhibition by tho visitors had shown
the differences Of price between American and Mexi-
can products with the charges clearly defined the
absurd comments OF foreign merchants hostile to
American trade would have been silenccd. As long
as foreigners monopolizc Mexican trade Americans
must do everything to recommend and popularize
their goods so that consumers will come to prefer
thcm European manufacturers give six and eight
months credit while Americans only allow
thirty DAVIS Extended credit is preferred here to
even the very liberal commission which Americans
allow It Is believed the visit will prove fruitless
unless Americans establish permanent commission
houses for import and export business. Mexico
would prefer American commerce. because the COM
mercia interests created by it would lessen the dan
GER OF political troubles. Commerce with the United
States would be peace and life for Mexico.
Justo Benitez has sailed for Europe.
The Minister of Finances has published an eabo-
rate memorial correcting the information given by
Minister Foster to tho association of manufacturers
in Chicago last October II states that since 1866 the
Mexican government granted thirty three railroad
concessions, OF which nineteen were to Americans.
