Making out the Inventories.

The act to equalize taxation requires
each taxpayer to make an inventory of
all his taxable real or personal property.
For the purpose of facilitating the work
of making ont these inventories by the
taxpayer and to enable him to dis
tinguish taxable from taxable prop
erty, we publish to-day statement,
made up from the revised statutes, of
the kinds and amounts of property
which the laws exempt from taxation.
Knowing the exemptions, what is taxa
BILE property can be readily determined
without detailed list of items.
We believe there exists in the minds
of some individuals little confusion as
to the distinction between deposit in
a trust company and one in savings
bank, such persons regarding the for
mer as identical with the latter, and
consequently exempt under the law
from direct taxation. This is an error.
Deposits in trust companies are taxed
oue-half of one per cent by the United
States government, and an individual
depositOr in a trust company is directly
taxable on his deposit in precisely the
same manner as a depOsitor in a ma
tional bank. The deposits in savings
banks being taxed by the state, the in-
dividual depositor is thus indirectly and
fully taxed, and is not required to put
the amount of such deposit in the list of
his taxable property. A trust company
may become a savings bank and pay its
tax to the state instead of to the United
States if it so elects, but until it does
this its deposits are taxable to the indi-

million dollars worth of bonds, luckily
unsigned, were appropriated by some
smart burglars in French fiat, aud an
unfortunate Brooklyn clearinghouse
keeper was robbed in bread day light
of some other bonds, less in amount,
but more valuable, because they were

of "Red" Leary, Billy Corners and
"Shang' Draper, the burglars who
broke into tho Northampton bank in
January, 1876, and stole more than half
a million dollars. The proof that they
were the leaders in that robbery was
clear enough, Edison, one of the gang,
having turned states evidence. But
the crime was compounded" The
terms of this felony are not public OF
course. The bank had offered the rob
bers 100000 if they would return the
$500, 900 in bonds which they had stolen,
but the robbers charged Sl50,000. Such
compromises with burglars and other
rascals are extremely dangerous, and it
would serve the northampton parties
implicated right if these professional
gentlemen should return some night
and relieve them of the balance of their
bonds.
