BOLTON, FEB 5rd, 1879
To the Editor the Free Press and Times
have noticed Of late an article going the
rounds of the papers, to the eff .ct that
Smith n Pease, constable and collector
OF taxes IN the town of Bo!-
ton for the past four years, is
fourteen hundred dollars behind in his
accounts with the town, and 1t is reported
that his bondsmen have put their property
out of their hands to evsde the responsible
ty, who ! IL equivalent to saying they mean
to shiik the paying Of the same. Now |
wish tn state the simple facts in this case
so the public may not be misiniOrmed in
this matter, Tor ! know whereof speak
3. N. Pease has on his tax bills. taxes un
collected and cOllectible If some of tho
officers in tom during the past four years
had done their duty to even his accounts
with the town into about six hundred dol
lars HIS b0ndsmen have never put one
dollars worth OF property out Of their hands
as reported. and to-day they have any
amount Of property, from one 10 ten tbous-
and dOl,ars' worth, vhch is in noyise GOV
cred up and il open to attachment or lew
OF execution. But the authorities of the
town, 10 the attempt to collect this def
cheney OF Petse and bis bond-men, have
approached formidable barrier, the work
OF some OF their own making. a. they find
to their -orruw. The quadrennial list of
1874. which has been the basis of taxation
OF real estate Tor the past four years, was
not sworn to by the makers of the same,
cons quently making it vlry doubtful if the
collector can collect any. or but SINAI
part OF these uneollected taxes. and making
it doubtful If it can be collected of the
bondsmen. And many other careless hIund-
ers have been and are still being made by
some oil the town officers. which render it
highly probable that the town will have to
lose the greater portion Of the fourteen hun
dred dollars, bat not in consequences of the
bondsmen of 8. N. Pease having put their
property out of their hands, but by the
ignorance or csrelessness OF some OF the
digDitsries who have held or still bold Office

A SINGULAR CAsB.-The residents of Fort
Edward are excited over the case Of Miss
Annie Carter. which has, thus far, evinced
phenomenal features. Last Friday evening
she was attending a social entertainment.
and, during the festivities. was exceedingly
viyacious, and apparently, in excellent
health and temperament. Suddenly the
lady fell to the floor suffering from an evil
dent faint. A physician was called and
pronounced her dead from heart disease,
| and preparations were at once commenced
for the funeral and interment. Ii was
noticed that the body retained healtniul
hue, the cheeks showed traces of color, aud
| flesh looked the same as when she was
| alive. The body also continued warm,
and the limbs flexible, and the muscles
showed only q sight rigidity. The funeral
arrangements were postponed. Several ply
sicians have consulted on the case, but are
unable to decide whether the lady is dead
or in trance. She has beer in the same
condition during one week. There is no
pulsatiOn or heartbeat perceptlble; neither
does the scientific apparatus indicate blood
heat temperature about the body. The
flesh when pinched changes color, but re-
turns to the same shade a. that OF well
person. Thousands of people from the sur
rounding districts have visited the premises,
and the interest is great in the case. The
funeral has been set down for Sunday, IN
less the young lady shall evince some signs
of animation. 1t is asserted by her relatives
that Miss Carter has frequently expressed
fears of premature burial and interment
before death.
