The Percentage of Active Old Men on the
Tncrnasa

The Percentage Of Active Old Men on the
Increase,
In n Young country like this, where
life is continually at fever heat, and
where action rather thar reflection car
ries the day, old age seems out Of place.
In the staid old towns and cities Of
England Hawthorne tells us in his
"Old Home that he observed that old
age came forth more cheerfully and
generally into the sunshine than among
ourselves, where the rush, stir, hustle
and irreyerent energy of youth are so
preponderant that the poor forlorn
grandsires begin to doubt whether they
have n right TO breathe in such world
any longer and so hide their silvery
heads in solitude. But fast as this
country and this period both proverbi-
ally are, it is a fact that the percentage
of old men who continue in active life,
and who do not show their years except
to Il close scrutiny, is on the increase
Erect and active octogenarians, even,
are not unknown on our streets, whose
appearance still makes them pass cur
rent rs being in the executive period OF
life. The constant Improvement in tho
average style of living in the matter of
dwelling, food aud raiment, perceptibly
promotes longevity and increases tho
number of cases of it. -- Boston Herald

ENDONsING RE.AsSESSnENr.

The Republican papers of this State
have pretty generally endorsed the re-
assessment act, which has beed a SUBJ
ject Of ignorant criticism in some unin-
formed quarters. 1t came about in this
way, Mr.. EVANS, the able and clear
headed Republican member of the
Legislature from Berkeley county
voted for the re-asSessment act in all
of its stages during its passage
through the House of delegates.
He recognized the business and
the utility Of the measure, as did Mr..
HUBBARDand other Republican lead
ers in the Legislature, who were not
there to play the demagogue at four
dollars day, and he gave it an honest
and consistent support.
The better class of Repu blic9n papers
throughout the State have endosred Mr..
EVANS candidacy for Auditor of State.
And that is how they came to en-
dorse the re assessment act.

REIMBURSEMENT IN WAYNE.

The Wayne Advocate asks the
WHEELING REGISTER this question :
S.If the lands of Wayne county were
valued at S5.47 per acre in the Republic
can year of 1859 and are now valued,
under the re-asseSsment at but y. 81,
being fOrty.eight cents per acre less,
how comes It that the revenue is CREATE
in the latter than the former year?'
We would suggest to our esteemed
contemporary that he is begging the
question. The question at issue
simply a question of high or low asses
ments growing out of the re-assessmen;
fthe lands of the State aud our cotem
porary does not deny that the REGIS
TER has stated tn ligures correctly.
Now, if the Democratic ASSESSORS
have found large amount ofreal estate
which the loose Republican officials al
lowed 10 escape taxation entirely, and
are thus enabled, with lolrsr assess.
ment to gather a larger revenue, We
submit that they have done a thing
that the tax payers of the State should
mmend them for.
