PETERSBURG, Feb. %, 1856.
The Hastings Court was engaged
most Of to-day in hearing argument in
a case involving the right Of the Com
mon Council to levy tax on the own
ers Of property for the paving of the
sidewalks in front of said property.
The case comes up on the refusal Of the
owners Of Oaks warehouse to pay the
required tax on the ground that it is
illegal and not authorized by the char
ter of the city. The city in all the i'm
provements of this character during the
past years has, after giving notice of the
intended improvements, done the work
and then collected of the owners Of the
property in whose front the improve
ment was made two thirds Of the cost
of the work, the city bearing the re-
naming one third OF the expense itself.
This is the first time the authority Of
the Council in the premises has been
disputed, though there have been many
instances in which the property-owners
have paid the tax under protest. The
question involved is one Of great inter-
est both to the city and to the tax-pay-
ers, and the decision Of the Court, which
was reserved, will be awaited with much
concern.
The manufactured tobacco bonded
for expectation from this city during
the month of February amounted to
32l,4 S2 pounds, being an increase over
the corresponding month OF last year
and an excess of nearly 100000 pounds
over the exports in January. Our
manufacturers are now getting well
down to work, and expect to do larger
export business this year than ever be-
fore.
The internal-revenue collections in
this city for the present month amount
ed to about S3l, 800.
A small building used as a carpen-
ter-shop on Washington street, near
Lynch's livery.stables, was set on fire
last night about 9 o'clock, but the de-
partment succeeded in combining the
flames to the building, else much valua-
bic property would have been exposed
to danger. Mr.. Edward Dean. engi-
neer of the steamer Resolution, while
endeayoring to hitch his horses to
respond to the alarm. was knocked
down by one of the animals and had his
shoulder dislocated.
Mr.. u. II. Curtis, who was recently
elected to that position, has qualified as
collector Of delinquent water-rents.

TORONTO, ONT, February 27.-The
accident on the Northern railway at
Thornhill last night was more serious
than at first reported. Besides the
news agent who was killed, twenty
persons were more or less injured. The
night was intensely cold, and many OF
the wounded were frost-bitten. A farm
er's team took fright at the approaching
train and ran right intoit, one horse jump
ing in between the tender and baggage
car. The result was that the baggage
and mail.c cars and the passengeI-cosch
left the track and rolled down a forty
foot embankment. The baggage and
mail-carS took fire and were destroyed,
but most of the mails were saved.
Flames broke out in the passenger
coach, but were extinguished.

A lively and spirited discussion fol-

and " deyil's papers" Only one mem
Der opposed the amendment, and he
favored the original resolution on the
ground that there was more Sunday
work on Monday mornings papers than
on Sunday papers, but he objected to
the sale OF Sunday papers on the Sab
bath.
The discussion finally became so
heated that action on the resolution was
postponed until Monday.

MANCHESTER, n. H., February %.
The Amoskeag Corporation had LILO
looms running this forenoon-the largest
number since. the strike. At noon
weavers enough went back to start
thirty more looms. Eighteen weavers,
out from sickness, will return on Mon
day. Anonymous postal-cards in
French are being sent to boarding
houses where the returned weavers
live, reading "Be careful of your
selves. You are watched. Dangers
follow you because you have gone to
work"
Several idle weavers called on the
city marshal to-day asking for protec-
ton that they might return to work.
1t was promised. The strikers have
lost s34 900 in wages in the past two
weeks. The per cent. extra demand
ed would net them only $4,000 year.
The carding and spinning departments
produced 100000 pounds of yarn this
week, of which 10000 pounds were
used up.

men from all the French parishes were
present. Resolutions were adopted
thanking the Government in warm
terms for the humane manner in which
the half. breeds had been treated since

half-breeds should ask the Gov
eminent for free grant of their
lands, basing the claim on their
being the original possessOrs. They
will also ask that an industrial
school for half-breeds' children be es-
tablished in the district; that amnesty
be extended to the half-brecds in prison

BERLIN, February 27.--The COM
mittees appointed by the upper and
lower houses Of the Landtag on bills
for the Germanizing Of the Polish pro-
vinces will report in favor Of the Gov
ernment's proposals, with the addition
Of some slight amendments.
In the debate in the lower house on
the bill for the appointment OF element
airy chool-teachers DR.. Windthorst
the leader Of the Clerical party, de-
manded that no change be made
in the scholastic system until
the PRONUNCIATION of the new law
Of public instruction. lie declared
that if the schools were with
drawn from the surveillance Of the
Church and placed under the sole con-
troll OF the State, the change would be
more fatal than the Kulturkampf.
Herr Virchow announced himself
partisan in the matter Of Germanizing
the Polish provinces upon this condi-
tion--that it developed German ciyiliza-
ton. lie tVrchow), however, was OPP
posed to the adoption Of any violent
means or exceptional laws in order to
effect even that result.
One amendment made by the COM
mittees, it is expected, will maintain the
right of supervision by the communal
Authorities, landowners, and patrons
of schools. The final adoption Of the
bill is certain, although the Catholic
opposition beightens under the belief
that the measure will prepare the way
for similar supervision throughout
Prussia.
The North German Gazette an
nounces that Prince Bismarck has re-
ceived an address from the working
men ofThorntown, in West Prussia, de-
manding the expulsion Of Polish timber
brokers because, as is alleged, they
employ only Polish labor.
At reunion of 400 Germans Chiefly

adopted protesting against the brutal
and shameful policy of expelling the
Poles.
The German colonies at Geneva aud
Susanna have adopted similar resolu-
tons.
The Hamburger WaekristeH says that
four Socialists of Altoona have been
sentenced to four years. Imprisonment
for having distributed journals pro-
