The printing Office towel has been lit

1t has been mistaken for symbol OF
mourning; it has been used by the
foreman to brain drunk and intruding
printers; and its exceeding blackness
has lived in many dark story. But
positively the latest comes from New
Jersey, whence we learn that a printers
towel fell out of a third story window
in a New Jersy town, the other day,

AS the Township Assessor IL abroad
in the land, &c might be interesting TO
our readers to know what he Ii doing,
and how he is regarding his oath toas-
sess all property at its actual value.
The Township Assessors up In Dom
iphan are assessing hogs at three cents
per pound. At their meeting they
agreed to do 1t, and we presume they
will stick TO the agreement. The Da-
Wis county Assessors are valuing this
useful animal at two cents q pound.
Sumner county swine go at two cents;
but down in Cowley county, where
every body is as honest as the day IL
long, they put down hogs at from 81 to
$12 10 head. Out i'm Marshal county,
where prohibition does not always pro-
hibit, they assess hogs at four cents per
pound. In Harvey county the Assess
or gets In his work on hogs at three
fOurths Of cent pound.
The Assessors of Mcpherson county
value beef cattle at &c. per pound; In
Saline they are put down at $50 to $50
per head; in Marshall, at S45 per head;
In Harvey, SO to SO; in Coffey, &c. per
pound; in Dickinson, $40 to $50 per
head, according to value; in COwley,
SIS to S25; and in Doniphan county, at
2fc. a pound.
Corn is valued at zoe. bushel in
Doniphan county; at from 10 to zoe. in
Butler; in Allen, 10c.; in Jewell, l22c
i'm Harvey, 10c. while i'm Clay they
exempt 500 bushels from taxation.
The following figures are the rates
agreed upon for wheat, per bushel, in
the counties named: Harvey, 20c. /;

VENDORS VIEW OF APRIL.
Prof. Vennor lays down the follow

L AoAs Nc eAAS AoAAS"
ing programme for April:
April enters on Sunday with a March
storm, and the same day of the week
is likely to continue stormy through
the month.
The 9Th and 9th will probably prove
stormy in lake regions and lower
provinces, Newfoundland probably
coming in for heavy gales.
The 10th and 18th are probable dates
for severe frosts. These were ex-
perienced in 1882.
The Goth and 21st stormy and wet
in the majority of sections.
The month will end cold and stormy,
and May day be ushered in with snow
and sleet.i i'm northern and western sec
tons, and cold rains at others.
There will probably be some unusu-
al terms ofwarmth during this month
but altogether it will partake of its
average character, and be of favora-
BILE description.
