The COIlectOrship.

Col A. J. Beers yesterday received his commission as collector of the port of New Haven, accompanying which was a letter of instructions to Collector Northrop to turn over the office and all papers and documents to his successor. As the collector has the appointment of his own deputy, he has se- lected A. H. Kellam, we'll known in the bus mess circles of the community as a gentle man well qualified to fill the position for which he has been selected.
 The new collector will assume the duties of his position this morning at o'clock. It is understood that no otter changes will be made in the office immediately, and if any are made in the future it will be with view ko greater efficiency.

Taxes Paid i'm Produce.

How the taxes were paid by the citizens of Connecticut one hundred and seventy-five years ago. It seems that our ancestors used to pay their taxes in produce. Upon the records of Groton reference is had to this in these words: ''Act of the General Assembly, A. D. 17o5, at New Haven. This Assembly grants rate of five pence upon the pound of all rateable estate in this Colony, to be paid in winter wheat at shillings and 6 pence per bushel Indian corn at shillings; rye at shillings and 6 pence; pork at 3 pounds and 15 shillings per barrel; beef at 40 shillings per barrel. All grain to be good and merchantable; the pork and beef to be put in good new tight casks, full gauge, well repacked by sworn packer and marked with his mark. But if any will pay money it shall be accepted at two-thirds ''

Two CbiIdren D-o~De,,.

On Saturday last, as two small boys, one about twelve and the other about five years of age, the children of MT. John Themas, of Block Island, were out sailing in the Great Salt pond, the boat was capsized and they were both drowned, the boat filling and sinking instantly. Help was soon procured and the boat was raised by means of grap- nels, and efforts were made for the re- covery of the bodies, but, owing to the great amount of grass in the shoal water near the shore. it was almost impossible to make any headway. By persistent endeavor, however. the body of the larger lad was se- cured about dark, but the other was not re- covered until Sunday morning. g.-Nor7ojeh R1LLLetjn

A certain newspaper east OF the
for the past year or more,
has either been trying to make capital
against tie territory becoming state,
or is trying to make a boom in favor
of new constitution. We are in
clined to believe sectional interest
has made it adopt this course, and not
any love it has for the whole territory.
1t matters not whether the capital of
the new state remains at Olympia,
goes to Walla Walla, or goes any
where else; nor whether the officers
get a small salary, a large salary, or
none at all. All these matters or de-
fects of the constitution, or any others,
can be remedied hereafter great deal
easier than to have the delay and ex-
pense of another constitution conven-
ton. The constitution adopted was
as perfect as it could be expected that
it could be at this date, and as perfect
as new one would be few years
hence. We do not deny there are no
Objectionable features in it; but there
would be in any, and is in those of all
new states. They may have not
been considered so at the time of the
adoption of these Instruments, but the
length of time intervening before the
admission of those states has caused
changes which made them seemingly
| Objectionable. Usually they are very
: trivial matters. 1t would seem that
, the editor of the above paper started
out to make new constitution suited

the admission of the state. So he
sent out letters of inquiry, presumably
