Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1881-07-09

The vexatiOus question of church
taxation has been decided by the courts
of the State of New Hampshire, in which
a law was recently passed requiring all
church property over and above the val
ue Of $1,000 to be taxed. The Congre-
gational Church of Manchester refused
to pay on the ground that the act was
unconstitutional, and the Supreme Court
has decided that, under the con-
stiution Of that State, it is competent
for Legislature to treat church property
like any other In the matter of taxation,
and that the fact of long exemption
does not affect the question.

Some of them contain two, some three and others as many as five lines of dwellings, rising line above line, and. back toward the mountain, tier above tier. The houses on the top of the cliff in the abandoned cits nre rectangular in form, but the caves are circular, being ten or fifteen feet m diameter, with arched roofs.
