THE REASSESSMENT.
How Appeals 10 the Judge of the Hastings
Court May BE Taken.

How Appeals TO the Judge of the Hastings
Court May BE Taken.
The following is the seventh section
of the Act Of Assembly November p g,
1854 "to provide for assessment of
real estate in this State in the year
1885," &C.:
7. Any person feeling himself ag-
grieved by the assessment Of his lands
or lots made under the provisions Of
this act. may, upon giving notice to the
assessor and to the attorney for the
Commonwealth, apply to the court of
the county or corporation m which the
land lies, at any time prior to the lst
day of March next succeeding such as
sessment, and not after, to have the as
sessment of his lands or lots corrected.
which notice shall be in writing, and
shall have appended thereto an affidavit
that in the opinion of the affiant the as
sessment Of his lands or lots is above
the true value thereof, which affidavit
may be sworn to by the owner or his
duly authorized agent. In all such ap-
plications it shall be the duty Of the at
torney for the Commonwealth in such
court to attend to the interest Of the
Commonwealth. And if the court shall
be satisfied that the assessment is too
high, it shall reduce the same to what
is, in its opinion, the true value Of such
lands or lots; but if it shall be Of
opinion that the assessment is too low,
then it shall increase it in like manner !;
and such application shall have prece-
dence over all other causes pending in
said court but in cases of appeal from
the decision Of court, as herein provided
for, costs shall not be taxed for or
against the appellant or the Common
wealth /: provided that the Court shall
have power at any time, to correct an
assessment as to quantity Of land or
error in the extension Of figures.
Blank forms of notices, &C., can be
purchased, which will in many cases
enable the taxpayer to take the appeal
without the aid Of lawyer.

ANOTHER VICTORY.
fhe ''rEinias Beat the Newarks Their Frs,
Game Here 20 2.

:
Game Here TO 2.
The Newarks, who are fighting hard
and pushing close for third place in the
Eastern League, made their first ap-
pearance at Virginia Park yesterday
afternoon with about 1,200 persons
present. The weather was cool and
pleasant and fine for ball-playing. The
Virginias had the first chance at the
bat. Greenwood was retired on strikes.
Glenn made first on safe hit, and on
hit by Nash, assisted by wild throw
PIP. Murphy to second, scored his run.
The visitors were blanked in this
inning, but in the next, after retiring
the home team one, two, three, in sue
cession, made two runs-the only ones
made by them during the evening.
Smith led off with a single and came in
on three-base hit by Jones, who sub
sequently came in on a passed ball by
Householder. After this they were un-
able to hit Pyle, and were blanked in
each successive inning. The home boys
then went to the bat, and in this one
chance won the game. Pyle led of
with single. Greenwood got first on
balls, forcing Pyle to second. Glenn
followed with single, sending Pyle and
Greenwood home. Johnston made
hit which sent Glenn over the plate.
Householder struck out and Latham
and Higgins were caught out on fy-
IIsballs, leaving Johnston on third. The
only run made after this was the home
run by Nash in the eighth inning on a
ball knocked among the carriages be-
tween centre and left field. He was
loudly applauded for this play.
The contest was one without spe-
cial features except the two double
plays recorded in the score and the
home-run by Nash. Pyle's pitching
so puzzled the NewarkS that they were
able to make only four hits off him,
but he was rather wild, having hit one
man, made two wild pitches, and given
two men bases on seven called balls.
Murphy pitched well, but the Virginias
pounded him for eleven hits; Nash
made several very pretty catches on
third Glenn made fine catch in left
field. as did Coogan in right field for
the visitors. The general playing of
both clubs was good, and they seem
quite evenly matched except in batting,
in which the Virginias excel. The ap-
pended score tells the rest:

bad Smells In the city.

To the Editor of the Dispatch;
The one thing to which | wish espe-
cially to call the attention of the city
authorities, now that there is a posi-
bility Of our being reached by cholera
this summer, is the character of the air
we have to breath in the western part
of the city south Of Cary street, espe-
cially at night when the weather is
warm and damp, and more especially
Sunday nights, when the people are as
sembled in their churches for worship,
with the windows and doors open. In
passing along the streets we can get out
Of the way; or if in our houses We can
shut the doors and windows, and take
the heat rather than the smell but to sit
in church an hour or an hour and a half
under such circumstances is intolerable.
Now, if this bad air results from want
of cleanliness in the adjacent streets,
alleys, or lots, it can be remedied and
ought to be remedied. We pay for po-
lice and we pay for city government,
and one of the most important functions
Of both is the maintenance, as far as
practicable, Of the proper conditions Of
health in all parts Of the city. We can
regulate our diet, We can filter our
water or boil it to destroy the germs Of
disease resulting from organic impuri-
ties, as Professor Baird says, but we
can't filter or boil the air, and we can't
help breathing it. | hope have made
myself understood. CLAY WARD.

Latest Triumph OF Modern Science.

Most of the distilled productions in
medicinal or social use are undoubtedly
open to the serious objection Of har-
boring sufficient percentages Of deadly
poisOns to influence the blood, unduly
excite or completely paralyze the nerves,
and injure the delicate coatings of the
internal organs, so that injurious re-
actions, unnatural cravings, and ha-
bitual decentralization sometimes result.
Denials are both foolish and untruth-
ful. These objections are now all hap
PLY overcome in DUFFY's PURE
MALT WHIsKEY, which is made from
the finest barley by the latest triumph
Of modern science, so absolutely free
from everything deleterious that the
strictest moralists and most careful
consumers are alike enthusiastic in its
praise, while nursing mothers, growing
children, and weakly persons Of all
conditions are reaping untold benefits
from its use without the slightest fear
of harm. 1t is perfectly safe to rely
on. To be had of any reliable grocer
or druggist.

MANCHESTER MATTERS.
The Street Railway and the Free Bridge -
Briefs and Personals.

The Street Railway and the Free Bridge -
Briefs and Personals.
Before the street railway between
this city and Richmond can be built the
Free bridge, over which the road will
run, will have to be put in thorough
repair. From an estimate recently
made by Colonel Cutshaw, City Engi-
neer of Richmond, this work will cost
about $1,000. One thousand eight hun
dred and fifty dollars of this amount
was appropriated some time last year
by Manchester and Chesterfield-sl $50
BY the former, and 5000 by the latter
which has never been expended. In
| der the laws of the two cities the re-
naming S., $50 would have to be ap-
Tiropriated-one half by Richmond, and
one half by Manchester; but as
this street railway company has
| come forward with a highly
ccmmendable spirit and offered
to pay $4,000 of the amount, and the
Richmond Council has appropriated an
amount for the same purpose, which
will more than make up the sum re-
aured, there remains nothing in the
way to prevent the bridge being put in
thorough repair. AS will be seen in
another column, Mr.. j. j. Montague,
chairman of the Bridge Commissioners,
advertises for proposals, to be opened
the 10th of this month, for the lumber
to be used in repairing the bridge. As
soon as the lumber is received and the
work on the bridge is commenced, the
LAYING of the street-railway track will
begin at the end near Morrissette's store,
in this city, and, under contract, will
have to be completed in forty
days thereafter. When the street-rail-
way question was first discussed the
promo ion was to ask the city to ap-
propr $4,000 towards the enter
prise After mature consideration,
howe the corporators deemed it in
exped to push this request, and for
tunate. Tor the city succeeded in get
ting mou of means as the principal
stockholders in the company, who, in
stead of asking help from Manchester,
have manifested a willingness to help
her. By this the taxpayers here are
relieved of the two immediate heavy
burdens Of repairing the bridge and of
making the above appropriation to the
street railway. This railway when
built will be Of great convenience as q
quick mode of inter-communication be
tween Manchester and Richmond will
in many ways be Of material adj
vantage to both cities, and will
greatly enhance the value Of real
estate here, and will thereby doubt
less eventually reduce the rate Of
taxation. Under an agreement between
the two cities made not very long since,
the Free bridge is to be lighted with
