WE are informed by the city treas

county treasurer to levy or attach in
every case where parties don't pay
their taxes, no matter whether it be
for personal property or real estate
This will spring the surprise of

To levy on real estate for non-pay-

grace, or in other words, returning
the same as delinquent, is new

into consideration the heavy taxes

AT REsT.-Sunday Mrs. E. Os-
borne, suddenly and without warn
ing, joined the "silent majority "
Early that morning, Francena, her
daughter, went into Mrs. Osborne's
bedroom to look after the fire, and
upon speaking to her mother receiv-
ed no answer. Approaching the
bedside she found her mother
breathing her last. Life was extinct
before any other members of the
family could be summoned The
shock was terrible and fell heavily
upon the family and neighbors in
general. For some years deceased
had been afflicted with asthma, hut
its result was not expected in this
way. Mr. Osborne and the oldest
son, William, were in Belmont,
where they are conducting business,
but it not being far distant they
were soon apprised of deaths do
ings. The remainder of the family
reside in our midst.
She was a native of England, but
has been resident of this city for
about sixteen years and Of this
country about thirty-fye years; age
close to Go. Being a woman Of
modest and reserve nature, she kept
close to home and family, yet her
acquaintance was agreeable and
cherished upon formation As a
wife and mother she will be sorely
missed. The funeral took place on
Tuesday and was literally attended.
The family Of the deceased tender
their sincere thanks TO the kind
friends who rendered assistance in
their bereavement.
