lS-The County Commissioners this week
made the levy for 1885, the rate of assessment
being the as that of last year, viz, 60 cents
on every 500 worth of assessable property. The
present basis of taxation in the county is $62 2OO
$685. which, On levy of 60 cents, will yield $685.
205. On several items total decrease of ST, 500
is made, and the appropriation for the public
schools is increased 81 900. This additional sum,
with the strictest economy on the part of the
School Board, will, we hope, enable them to tide

m~The New York Tribune says: "0ur expert
ence leads us to the conclusion that an anonymous
letter writer is nearly always a sneak and gener-

strongly, there is more truth than poetry about it.
Why a man who has something important to say
or to tell should decline to give his name to the
editor in whose confidence he can rely, is not easy
to see. There is nothing more certain than that
sneaks and persons ashamed of the business they
are engaged in always carry on their work anony-

@-It has been reported to us that at school
meeting held at CatonsviIle few days ago, the
Rev. w. 7. d. GLENN, who was assigned by the
late NJ. E. Conference to that place, took part in
the discussion and among other things said that
the present School Board was wholly responsible
for the existing debt. Now We do not set our
selves up as apologists for the School Board, but
when a statement SO manifestly unjust, not to say
untruthful, as this is made, we feel it duty to
deny it. Every man in the county knows, if he
knows anything that this debt existed before the
present Board was appointed. Then why should
the Rev. Mr.. GLENN make such statement, if he
did make til? There may be something behind all
this which will be developed in due time.
