NORRISTOWN NOTES.
NoRRIsTowN, Aug. l7th, 1881

NORRIST0WS, Augs litn, looi' Editors of the Democrat:
 Two intsrssted readers of your paper, having noticed that ysu ask for cor> respondents from the surrounding country, have decided that 'tis no lon ger right to permit NoRRIsTowN to be unnoticsd. A place so prominently To- cated, one which though now somewhat under a cloud (metsphorically speaks ing, for the sun ia beaminx in all the intensity of its radiancs) is yet destin- cd to rise, phoenix like, from ths ash> es of it's former ruins, when the con- templated railroad, whose course hns been surveyed and stakes driven, is completed, should now be brought from it's forced retirement. Whilo it's location is of course familiar to many, . slight description may probably in terest a few. and you will therefore ex- cuss us, while we touch lightly upon Its attractions. It lies upon the bank Of the placid Arkansas in 6 beautiful valley, between the cities of Russell villc and Dardanelle. and immediately opposite the famous Dardanslle Rock, upon whose picturesque summit each evening the inhabitants of our city catch the last rays of the declining sun. Upon the north, in all It's majesty, rises the celebrated Norristown Mountain, which, as all abser want readers of your paper know, is noted for it's health giving springs and the sublimity of it's views.
 Your correspondents had, on yester- day, fac opportunity of judging somewhat of the condition of the crops, as in company with s select party and two charming young friends from Dar- daHello, they sought mirth, sport and adventures in fish fry" on the bay ou. They decided that the "crops" looked to be failure; on all sides of their rough, rocky rosa lay parohed fields, corn cut and dried for fodder, and cotton dejscted and dropping. while no vision of fruits or melons, met the longing gaze oi watchful ayes, and alas: for the realization of human hopes even when they reached their destination, disappointment awaited them, Gas 1t will all who seek for the beautiful, or anything else, in this much praised city) for though mirth and adventures were plentiful, game was scarce and fish refused to leave their cosl homes heath the watars, to be transported to the frying pan," or the sun burnt streets Of Norristown. But now as we fear we have already transgressed tho limits and made our communication too long, we will close by saying that the general health of Norristown is good, and that if you wish to hear from y. c's st any future time you will please inform them.
 Very truly,
 nEnCrv a YATnFT

nG~ Seven thousand acres of land il
Rockbridge county, assessed at ten
cents per acre, sold last week iortwenty-
three thousand dollars. 1t had been
sold for seven Thousand dollars, but
Judge Mclaughlin, OF Stanton. refused
to confirm the sale, and the property
being again put up, brought the price
above named. The increase in the
market value of this property, is the re-
suit Of the railroads being constructed
through the Valley. II is only an in
dica,i,n of what is TO. be. The vast
mineral deposits in many portions fthe
Valley which have heretofore had no
commercial value are coming into
notice, and will soon be the sources of
large revenues to the State. There are
thousands of acres, of just such lands in
Augusta and sill the counties adjacent.
Last week party of Northern gentle
men were examining several large sur
veys fu Augusta and Rockingham coun-
ties. and from indications it was ex.
pected would purchase. Should they dc
40. it would introduce considerable cap,
ital into the Valley and augment the
circulating medium, as the owners oftht
properties examined all reside in The
Valley.

la THE ASSESSMENT TAx.-The
new assessment law makes it the duty
of the Clerk of the County Court, TO
make out the land books of the county.
The value of all real estate is to be
placed back to what it was under the
general assessment of 1875, except
where corrections have been made in
that assessment by the County Court,
within the time specified in the act pro-
viding for general assessment. But
no changes made since that time in the
value of any real property, by the coun-
ty court, is to be taken into account;
and no change shall hereafter be made
in the value of sny real estate, by which
the total value of the real estate OF the
county will be decreased.
The assessment year begins on the
1st day of January, instead ofFebrusry,
as heretofore.
These changes are all beneficial ones,
and will no doubt give general satisfac-
ton. They are such as have been die
tated by time and experience.
The collection Of taxes will be COM
menced in August, instead Of November,
as heretofore.
We have not the law before US or we
would give it in full, but then the above
are the most radical changes made in it..
Mr.. John w. Garrett. President Of
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad compa-
my, who has been in Europe for several
months, will return 10 Baltimore about
the 18th of April.
