A WILD LEAF.
A Runaway Horse Killed by Jump Over
Stone Wall.

Yesterday afternoon about Ais O'Clock,
Mr. Geo. Phelps, travelling man, halted
near the foot of Bridge Hill to call on lady
relative. leaving HE horse standing unhitched
just back of the freight house. which is To-
Gated above the railroad track. The horse
was uneasy. and becoming frightened, darted
forward at rapid gait. At the east end OF
the building the animal cleared himself from
the carriage, continuing on. At the foot OF
the embankment was a granite wall. some
SIX feet in height and seven rods ia length.
The horse shot along this with alarming We
locity. At the south end the wall enters the
bank, and the animal finding no other way
of escape, made flying leap down upon the
track. He struck heavily, rolling over and
over. Several bystanders carried him to a
level spot below the freight efiice, where the
poor beast. after struggling in agony for
some fifteen minutes, died. The horse was
the property of Tasker, the stable keeper OF
Gardiner, and was valuable property. The
top OF the carriage was badly rent.

Yesterday the assessors committed to the
collector the taxes of 1885. This is earlier
than they were ever committed before; the
usual time has been from Jane 25th to July
9Th; last year they were committed July Sd.
1t is of Importance to the collector as well
as the city, to have the taxes committed
early, as it aids the collector in collecting
taxes that'might otherwise be lost, and sup
plies the ry with funds to meet the de-
mands upon it, which are always pressing at
this season of the year.
We give below a statement as taken from
the books of the assessors, which cannot but
be gratifying to our citizens:
The total valuation of the present year
outside the school districts is $3.50 756
The total valuation of last year 4,oa467i
Gain in valuation over 1884 $iss.osS
Total amount appropriated in 1884 $3.50 so, 90
Number of polls assessed in 1884 was i,9s
" 1855 q" wv
In 1884 taxes were assessed on polls taken
from the voting lists of the proceeding cleo
ton, which furnished quite large number Of
paper Vueu WIZ WCtC NV ia VIZ ivy "s Wv
time they were assessed, and some of the
names so taken were never in the city at all I;
hence quite large number of polls so as
sessed have got to be abated by the assessors
of this wear, and this accounts for the less
number of polls being found by the board
of this year, as the number would have been
! greater rather than less, if those assessed last
wear had been made on men actually found.
The rate last year was 2oa mills, or s2o.5o
on a thousand dollars, outside the school dis
tricts.
This year the rate is l9a mills or Sl9.75 on
a thousand dollars, decrease from last year,
mills.
VILLAGE DISTRICT
The appropriation for the present year is 5000. 90
LAST wear The amount was 7.4ys 80
Exce,. over last wear 2oi.7o
The assessors of last yesr assessed the non
resident personal property in the. district,
amounting to about s45, 900 90, which the as
SCISSORS of this year believe to be illegal and
unauthorized, and they have not included it
in their assessment. 1t therefore operates as
so much loss, from last years assessments.
Yet the assessors of this year, with this loss
of nonresident property, and the larger APP
propriation, have neither increased the
amount on polls, nor the rate, but they both
remain the same as last year. viz; poll tax
al. rate, 9 mills. The rate in the Williams
District remains the same as last year.

A Few AXiOmS by the Fence
Corner PHILOSOPHER.

When you see a trader advertis-
ing that he can sell goods at less
price than his competitors because
he has small expenses, the question
naturally arises, what do his small
expenses mean?
His small expenses mean:
First-Small stock.
Second-Few clerks, or none.
Third-Small business.
Consequently he buys his goods
in small lots and pays large profits
on them, and his customers have
got to pay profit on the large
profit he has already paid.
A one-horse power engine will
not do the work of a twenty-horse
power engine, while it takes more
fuel to run the larger engine than
it does the smaller. the proportion
ate expense is much less. The day
of small business and large profits
is past. The large business, large
stock and small profits are what the
public demands. Tile Fence Cor
ner Philosopher.
That is what we believe in, and
we are prepared to give the public
the benefit we derive in buying our
goods from first hands in large
quantities. The public can rely on
always finding good article at a
low price at our store. We believe
that we cannot afford to sell a poor
article at any price. We also wish
to say that we have an unusually
choice stock of seasonable goods in
all departments, which we are pre-
pared to sell at a small profit.
