We have received from James B. Neal,
NJ. D., physician in charge, the first annual
report OF the 1ungchow Dispensary, con-
Quoted by the American Presbyterian mis-
sion at Tungchow, China, for the year
1885. The Dispensary was opened on
January /, 1885,, in quarters located in part
of an old temple, near the east gate of the
city. They soon became too small and
larger quarters were secured. The whole
number of visits to the Dispensary during
the year was 1920. Fifteen cases were
treated in the hospital. Speaking of the
manner of eating by the natives, DR.. Neal
says;
"The Chinese here in North China all eat
their heaviest meal late in the evening and
as their food is mostly vegetable with
great deal of waste in it, they are com
PEELED to eat enormously, until by constant
abuse and stretching, their stomachs are
outraged to the last degree. If there is
any virtue in hot water certainly the Chi
nese should have sound healthy stomachs,
for they consider it very bad indeed to
drink any but hot water, especially at their
meals. Notwithstanding their care in this
respect and despite the fact that they con-
slider the stomach the very centre of lite,
they nevertheless are extremely disordered
in that important organ"

Assessor,s Notes.
THE ASSESSMENT.


The assessment this Spring was unusually
tedious. Instead of having simply to make
the necessary corrections as usual, new val
uations had to be made on all personal
property, additional books had to be car
ried also, besides great roll of forms, my
share Of which, would, probably, weigh
25 pounds Still further everywhere we
went the people wanted information In re-
gard to the new tax law" 80 that much of
the assessors time was consumed in max
ing the necessary explanations.
THE REVISION.
The revision by the Commissioners was
not at all satisfactory to our people in re-
gard to occupations. We do not blame
them If, as they claim, the law requires
them to assess each occupation at the same
rate as that merchant who does thousand
dollar business, must pay as much tax for
his occupation as another who does ten or
fifty thousand worth; that lawyer who
scarcely earns his bread and butter, should
pay as much as he who has a large and
lucrative practice; or a minister who gets
four or five hundred dollars year should
be taxed as high as another whose salary
reaches that many thousand. II may be
law, but we country folks are unable to see
where the equity and justice come in;
perhaps our Democracy is too Jefferson
ian.
MONEY AT INTEREST.
The last time before this that assessed
this township, received, what some of
you newspaper men were pleased to call
"the modest little sum of fifty dollars on
interest" Subsequently, each year, a few
thousand have been returned. This year
l got thirty thousand. speak of it, not
50 much because Of the amount, as the
large percentage OF increase. There are
several reasons for this increase. Cur peo-
pie are growing in wealth and have more
money at their command. So little money
had been returned that the assessors be-
came careless about hunting it up; besides
this the people are getting better acquaint-
ed with the paper that the law requires to
be returned.
GOLD WATCHES.
For many years but one solitary gold
watch was returned in our township
Within year or two another appeared.
This time got thirteen. got the lead on
the ladies in regard to their watches, know
ing where two were. | called them out
and they told on each other, so that had
but to call for them and they were promptly
returned. In one case only had a little
trouble. A lady rather boastingly said, II

The Presbytery of Northumberland met
at Orangeville Tuesday evening of last
week, and most of the members were met
here by teams from Orangevile. There
was very fair attendance considering the
remoteness of the place of meeting from
the centre of the Presby ytery. The spring
reports of the churches showed in many
cases gratifying progress, Rev. d. j. Wal
Ter and Rev. Mr.. Finney of Pottsgrovc
were elected clerical commissioners to the
General Assembly which meets in Min
neapolis in May. Elder Sloan of Orange
vile and Elder Piatt of Allenwood are the
ruling Elders elected.
The sessions were opened with an ex-
cellent sermon on Systematic Benefcence
by Rev. r. L. Stewart of Danvile, and on
Wednesday evening there was a consider
alton of the claims of the Board of Church
Erection, followed by subscriptions for the
completion of the Orangeville Church,
which footed up about $1,000. The men,
bers seemed to be much pleased with their
visit. The hospitality, the scenery, the
weather the management of the business
were all very gratifying.

a SHARP TRICK.-Lest May, when the
eighth hour movement was At It's height, tia
employees Of the Detroit Mich Dry Dock
Company, controlling three ship yards in the
vicinity, struck for the shorter day. 4 CON-
promise was effected, but frequently since
then the company has had differences with
their men, the chief point or complaint on
the part Of the employers being that the EN-
ployes had driven work TO other Michigan
shlpyard5 where wages were lowered. 4
week ago thirty ship carpenters were
brought from Maine. They were promised
the highest wages, and ii was claimed on
