ACCORDING to the report of the
Board of Trade of Boston, it costs near
ly twice as much to live in that city,
than in any other city of the Union,
much of which is owing to the effects
of excessive taxation. The fact that it
takes Sl7 on the one thousand to live
there it is said handicaps the city in
its competition with its rivals, aud is
steadily driving away the personal pro-
perty that can be carried away from
Boston. The full epormity of Boston
| tax bill, however, does not appear on
the face of it. There are several cities
that pay a higher tax rate than Boston,
amongst which are New York, with
S20.32 on the thousand dollars Phila-
delphia with S1S.5 Chicago with S34
and Brooklyn with $50. 1t must not
be forgotten that while real estate in
New York is valued at about 90 pei
cent. of it's price, in Philadelphia at q
per cent. and in Chicago at only % pei
cent, the Boston assessor takes it fol
its full market value. Wilmington
which is SIS on the full valuation, i.
not far behind Boston, and taking
warning by that city should go slow OF

DALLAS, Ten, July 1.-THE south

German girl named Louise S,einman.
She is from Liepsic, and came with
her father to this country, their desti-
nation being New Braunfels. On
their way to Texas they entered a
washout on the Neosho river, where
they had to remain some time. Here
tbs old man got on big drunk and
disappeared, carrying with him all the
money. The girl got of at the Union
depot, where she told her tale, and a
purse was made 10 carry her to New
Braunfels.
II Is said here by parties who know
that the Hillsboro Jackson. who 30
suddenly disappeared, and about whom
there Is such an excitement, did not
owe much in this city. His paper does
not amount to over $4,000, and Is well
secured. Outside OF the natural fear
that he may have met with an acci.
dent, not much interest is taken in his
movements.
Mr.. John Cochran, the new post
master, received his commission TO
day. His bond was approved. He
takes charge of the office this evening

KELLER, TEX, July 1.-THE pros
pect now is that we are going to have
q few days OF dry weather. To at
tempt to give an estimate of damage
done TO the grain crop would be futile.
There are hundreds OF acres of oats
that are not cut, nor can they ever be,
as they have fallen down and are
otherwise so much damaged that 1t
would be loss OF time to attempt to
save them. The wheat crop Is dam
aged 10y sprouting, but II the weather
continues fair IL will soon be ready for
market.
The corn crop is 80 immense that
some of the farmers say II they were
able to buy the lumber they would
cover their fields instead of gathering,
as they can not make room for 1t.
The new crop of cotton seems TO be
doing well, and the probabilities are
that fair crop Will be made.
