Camp Flre. Fair and FESTIVAL.

The Camp Fire, Fair and Festival for the
benefit of Burns Post, of this city, did not
open on Wednesday as was expected, but was
postponed until Friday night and will continue

The Post holds the fair and festival for the
purpose of raising funds to liquidate obliga-
tons already incurred for funeral expenses of
deceased comrades and to meet like contin-

one, and the citizens should give willing and
substantial aid.

PRAYER IN PLYMOUTH CHURCH.

\ rougish-lookins Ettle fellow. propa-
bly, twelve years old. stood on the carpet
ed platform near Mr. Beecher's armchair
At plymouth Church the other night and
repeated the Lords Prayer with such in
finite ptahOs-so touching because it was
wholly nneons';ious-that fifty people in
the large audience joined in the ..Amen''
and nearly 200 more wiped the tears frcm
their eyes. But little more than year
ago the boy was a street wait in Danbury
Conn. People pitied him and gave him
pennies because he was deaf and dumb.
A benevolent gentleman sent him to an
oral school for deaf mutcs in Mystic. lie
watched the lips OF people in the audi
enee fifty feet away, and repeated words
after them Maggie - sherman .Hart-
ford boy,'' ''horse," and several other
words were spoken plainly as four out of
five school children of his age would have
pronounced them. Brooklyn bother
ed him lie called it Bruglin. The boy
could not hear a sound. He never has
since he was born. So keen was his OBJ
servation that he repeated words By
watching the shadow on the white wall of
the person who uttered them. He did not
shirk a syllable of the Lords Prayer, nor
stumble once in his articulation. His
pronunciation of some words were pecu-
liar; but the whole were rendered with
such plaintiye simplicity and peculiar
falling infection at the termination of
sentences that many ladies who heard
him sobbed.
Another boy stepped on the platform,
a sharp little fellow in short trousers. He
watched peoples lips with eyes like
lynx and shouted the words after them
as vociferously as newsboy. Somebody
tried him with hard words, snc,l rs Neb-
udchedneezer. but he pronounced them
before the tones of the first speakers voice
had died away. People pointed to arti-
cles such as cuff. collar, glove or coat,
and the boy told them what they were
doing. He never dreamed of the ap-
plause that followed him to the seat

ACT 81, OF THE LEGISLATURE OF
1854.

This Act is entitled "An act K
perfect and systematize the manner
of making assessments throughout
the State, the parish of Orlean,
excepted
This act certainly does not NEAR
what il says; or our legislators arc
totally ignorant of the locality ol
this, and other parishes in thi,
State. If Ibis act means what i;
says; it is imperative, from the
ceiy fact, that the Assessors
throughout the State can not con-
ply with its requirements, ia toto.
This act requires that the Assessor
after he shall have checked off all
public lands, and lands be-
longing to the State, and Railroad
lands; where patents have not
been granted: shall proceed to as
sess by personally cisitjng each sepd-
rate piece cf property or tract of' iand
t2 be assessed; and shall write in
each 10Th of section or other part
thereof, the owners name etc. OF
course this latter clause refers to
writing upon a township map.
which the same act requires the
Auditor to furnish. That clause,
personally visiting each separate
piece of property or tract of land
to be assessed" Uf we are permit
ted to use slang) takes the rag off
the bush.
In tie first instance it can not be
presumed that the Assessor is sur
veyor; ano presuming that he is;
is 1t possible that he should take
his compass and chain, and survey
the parish, to know when lie had
"persoralyvisited, ,anycertain piece
OF land" Unless he did this howl is
he to know when he has visited it.
We know men who own thousands
of acres, in this parish, and in or
der TO assess them under this act,
the Assessor must obtain the num-
bers, and then travel all over The
parish. (as their lands lie promis-
cuously) in order to assess them
under this act, if we are to put the
literal construction on the language
IF the act.
A portion of the act we admire,
from the fact, that we see no 9TH
sr means, by which land numbers
nay be Strengthened and kept
10.
But the idea ofimposing such an
'nerous duty upon any Assessor;
providing any means of
'ecompensation, except his already
90 meagre salary; Is an injustice
lpon the men who fill these posi-
ions; and ought not to be tolera-
ed by any legislative body of men;
nd especially by body of men
which have the praise of s'legisla-
ing for the good of their constit-
tents.
In the second instance, it is in
pcrative from the fact that no one
or even ten Assessors can visit |
personally" each tract of land
uring the Spring season.
The same act requires that the
assessor shall make affidavit that
e has complied with this act, be-
ore being able to receive his final
ettlement for the year. The rev.
nue. act, or Act 96 of 1882, sec.
3, requires that each tax payer
hall furnish to the Assessor, a de-
cription of all his property on or
efore the first day of May in each
ear. Why all this personally
isiting.''
