For the second time since the court
commenced its sessions the list Of ap-
plicants was exhausted, and everybody
was in a good humor. The members Of
the Levy Court smiled and Messrs. Sa-
Vile and Hawkins, the managers on
the Republican side smiled in return.
The applicants we're particularly
pleased, as they have had to 60 home
anassessed after making every effort to
get their names on the lists. Had
there been fifteen or twenty more per-
sons they could have bsen assessed
difficulty. The court had al
half hour or more to spend in the con-
sideration of miscellaneous business, and
adjourned promptly at four O'Clock,
when Mr.. Silver the musical member of
The court retired TO the caucus room
where he sung: ~ want to be an angel
and with the angels stand" Outsiders
listened with breathless attention TO the |
Silvery chimes as they came floating
from the caucus room. Devout listeners
we're glad to know Of the desire Of the !
New Castle member, and the Republi-
,an members who had pretty much
laid aside devoutness during the ASSESS I
nent season took II as an omen that
hencsforth he would do all he could to !
secure an honest and full assessment Or
fail to strnd with the angels.
