Under the new tax law the collector is
only required TO make one demand and
that is to be made six months after date Of
notice. If tax is not paid upon demand,
the collector may levy after the lapse of
thirty days. The law has one advantage,
the taxpayer is not annoyed by frequent
calls from the collector, and according to
the new law, the collector is required to
make only one demand, and il rot paid to
HIM then, or within the thirty days, he may
proceed to collect by levy, and he is then
entitled to the same fees as constable, in

otherwise pernicious. The untlrlng motion

on Thursday of last week. He had been
to Mahanoy City in company with John
Shuman, and on his return home when
near lions Grove, one of the horses got
his leg on trace, and as Mr.. Shuman got
off the wagon to remedy the trouble, the
horses suddenly started on run. Mr..
Bidleman fearing the team would run
down steep bank, jumped off the
wagon and broke his leg below the knee.
The team ran but short distance until
1t was caught. Bidleman was placed on a
wagon and taken to Mainville, a physician
examined the broken limb, but on account
of its swelling could not set it, so he was
obliged to be brought home, and on Satur-
day the limb was set.
