The Philadelphia Tax Collector en-.

The Philadelphia Tax Collector en-
deavored to sell the building of the
Young Mems Christian Association for
taxes, when the Association brought
suit to prevent him. It was contended
on behalf of the Tax Collector that such
associations are not institutions of pub
lie charity, because their object is to
promote only Evangelical religion; but
the Court held that any one who holds
the fundamental doctrines of the Chris
tan faith is, in legal sense, Evangel-
ical. The Collector claimed that the
money of the Association being partly
invested in block of stores to be
rented, the property was liable TO and
could not escape taxation, because the
income Injured to the benefit of a phil
anthropic society, and that, dues being
charged for membership, the Society
could not be regarded as strictly phil
anthropic. The Court held that the
charging of dues did not affect the gem
eral character and purpose of the So
ciety, and decided that so much Of the
property as was invested in stores and
offices yielding an income should pay a
tax, while so much of it as was invest
ed in the library, reading rooms and
other appurtenances of the Society
proper'was exempt from taxation.

second time; there are various other
plants, such as bush-beahs, lettuce,
onions, ETC., that will do equally well
for the first season, and rutabagas or
fat turnips for the after-crop. But the
great principle with this, as with other
branches of agriculture, is to have our

them constantly going forward, and
never, if possible to prevent it, allow
