Chinese Funeral in New York

Chinese Funeral in New York.
New York Sun.
Roast pig, a pine coffin, wax candles,
strips of colored silk and bits of gilt pa
per, cigar smoke, lighted joss sticks, and
the sound of tom-toms mingling with
heather prayers in the midst Of a so-called
Christian city, were the accompaniment
OF Deb Fook's obsequies in Mott street on
Monday. The queer Monaghan process
sion, with red and black banners and white
Chinese words inscribed thereon, headed
by a stalwart German brass band, was
another suggestive sight and SO is the
mound in a Christian cemetery under
which Deb Fook lies, with the prayer
sticks at his head.

EDITORS CITIZEN The 4th was
gloriously celebrated at Pine Grove,
and many of the patriotic citizens of
Mercer township spent the day there
and some who stayed to witness the
fireworks at night, were compelled to
stay all night-seeking quarters for the
night as best they could-on account
of the darkness and rain. We found a
cool reception at Pine Grove.
The dogs have been making havoc
among the sheep on the farms of Wick,
Cook and Gldersleeye. The farmers
in this vicinity will do well to look
after their sheep at night. Some very
valuable stock sheep have been injured
One belonging to Fred Gildersleeve

torn. Crops look good. Milo.

ANSWER.

In our judgment all such drawing of
notes. ETC., are attempts to avoid hav-
ing money taxed, as money at interest,
and are simply evasions of the law,
and that is what is intended at the
time The law requires money loaned
at interest to be assessed and taxed,
and it makes no difference whether or
not this interest is prepaid, or whether
its amount is Incorporated into the
amount loaned, and to be paid at a
future time with the amount borrowed,
still it is in reality money that drew
interest.
AS to the other part of the above in
quiry, we thing it is altogether matter
for the assessors. 1t is their duty to
assess, and if they fail to do SO, accord
ing to law, they are subject to law,
and any person can put the law in
force who chooses to do so. The COM
missioners can give instructions to as
SCISSORS and if they find failure of duty
it would be their place to see that the
taxing laws are properly carried out in
that respect, as well as in all other re-
snectS
