Messrs. Ediors-If you would favor
us with a small space in your paper
we would be much obliged, as we
would like to give some news from
this quaint, little, old-fashioned town.
The travelling public has splendid
facilities for reaching this place, as it
can have its choice of two public roads
and pipe line. There was some
talk of trying to remove the pipe line,
with its necessary k-lick, as some of
the inhabitants claim that it prevents
their nightly repose.
Annisville offers superb advantages
for building, as there is no chance of
being hampered for room.
Rev. t. NJ Thompson, the pastor of
the Presbyterian Church at this place,
has been absent from his pulpit for
several weeks. He was prostrated for
some time by a severe illness, and
before he had entirely recovered he
was called off to Pittsburgh, where he
still remains by the death of his father.
The congregation has taken advantage
of his absence to add some improve
ments, in the way of repapering, &c,
to the church.
Miss Kate Jamison is jogging the
youthful intellect in the public school
of this place. This is her second term,
which speaks well for her ability in
her chosen profession.
Mr.. Samuel Marshall is still occupy
ing the Corner House.
Mr.. r. o. Lewis is still in his old
business of Merchant Cobbling.
The parsonage still clings to its old
occupants. More anon, jim.

Meeting of County Assessors.

| At the suggestion of the County Commits
sioners, the Assessors of the county met with
them in the Court House, last Tuesday week fol
| the purpose of consulting regarding the pro
prety of assessing all taxable property at its full
| value.
| Commissioner Donaldson was called to the
| Chair.
Commissioner Gribben stated that the present
mode of assessing was bad and was getting
worse He said that Assessors in assessing
property often added the full value of new
| improvements and that, while the land itself
stance, if A and B each owned 100 acres OF
unimproved land and paid tax on a valuation
of $40 per acre. the total valuation would be
81 900 each, and ten mill tax would amount
to $40, but if B improves his land, and the As
SCISSOR thinks the improvement adds s. per acre
to the value of it, he adds s. per acre to the
assessed value of $40 per acre, and assesses 1t
at SIS per acre, and the result is that B pays
one-hdlf more tax than A. This is undoubtedly
unjust. Suppose that A's land was assessed at
its full value of $50 per acre, and BIS at its full
value of $50 per acre. reduce the tax to two
mills, and AS tax will amount to $40 and BIS
to $11, which is just.
Mr.. Gribben then read paper which showed
the amount of bonds, mortgages, notes and
money now on interest in this county, as as
sessed:
Brady township, 500: Buffalo. 500; Butler
township. $500; Centre $3.50; Cherry 81, ,740 !;
Connoquenessing, $500; Clinton, 500; For
ward 81 ,150; Franklin, $500; Fairview, S. 900 !;
Jefferson, S, 100; Middlesex, $3.50; Oakland
81 ,475; Penn, 81 ,9S9; Parker, S10,5O0; Slip
peryrock, 81 400; Summit, $500; Washington,
$500; Winfield, 81 800; Worth, $500; Harris
vile, 81 500, and all the other townships and
boroughs in the county, nothing.
He thought it strange that the Assessors
could not find more money and referred them
to the Registers and Prothonotary's Offices,
where they could find records of much more.
lie could not understand why we have so many
debtors and so few creditors. But creditors
could complain, and justly, that they should
not pay eight mills on their money, with real
estate as ,essed at fifth its real value. For
instance A and B own 100 acres each, worth
5000, assessed at 81 900. At eight mills, each
pays IS tax, but if sells his 100 acres and
gets his 5000 in money or mortgages, he
would, at eight mills, be compelled to pay $40
tax. This would be unjust, and is another
argument in favor of assessing real estate at its
full value.
If this is done, those who now have money
and conceal the fact will have no excuse for so
doing, and no injustice will be done those who
cannot or do not conceal the fact of their
having it.
Messrs. Dawson Wadsworth, Josiah Thomp-
son, r. NJ HARRISON and others, also spoke in
favor of assessing at full value.
All the Assessors of the county, with the
exception of about eight, were present.

A Wonderful Record.

Myriads Of so-called specifies" and "cures'
for rheumatism have already been brought
before the public, and many of them have been
endorsed by the certificates Of respectable and
promite citizens, who have derived benefit from
such preparations. There is no doubt that a
great many Of these "Liniments," coils" etc,
80 widely advertised and freely recommended
for rheumatism and painful complaints Of a
similar nature, have genuine merit and will
relieve certain types OF the complaints named i;
but when Rheumatism, Neuralgia, and kind
red diseases have become chronic and threaten
serious results, you may rest assured that they
will help but very little. Although not rec
commended as "infallible," the peculiar quail
ties of ST. JACOBS OIL especially adaptit to
those cases which may be termed Chronic"
and which have previously withstoOd all
known specifies" as well as the prescriptions
Of the best physicians.
We would mention, az an example, the case
of Mr.. A. Heilman, Editor Of the Pittsburgh
Republican, who suffered with Rheumatism
for two years. After vainly using all the rec.
commended remedies and cxhausting the skill
of the most experienced physicians without
even tempory relief, it required only two bot
ties of ST. JACOBS OIL to effect permanent
cure. Mr. G. Hanni, a well-known citizen OF
Youngstown, Ohio, secured for his wife, who
for twelve years had been a constant sufferer
from Neuralgia in the head, the services Of the
ablest physicians in the land, but they were
unable to do anything for her half bottle OF
ST.. JACOBS OIL cured her. Mr.. VIM. Rein
hart, Elmore, Wis, reports the case Of a neigh
Dor who for twenty -four years had suffered NC
terribly with Rheumrtism that, at times, he
could hardly move around few bottles OF
ST.. JACOBS OIL cured him. "To cap the eli.
max" however, Mr.. A. Neiger, Of Taylorville
Pa, writes that his mother, who had been q
continual sufferer with Rheumatism for the
past thirty years, used bottle of ST. IA.
CoBs OIL and was Immediately relieved Of all
pain. These are results which truly deserve
to be brought to public notice but they are
not exceptions, as will be seen by the numer
Gus other certificates from all parts Of the
United States. IL should be the duty of every
one TO call the attention Of his suffering friends
and neighbors to this wonderfully effcacious
preparation, especially as the low price of &c
cents bottle places II within.the reach Of all
persons, rich and poor.
