OUR REVENUE LAWS.

IaX-c0lleclOTs will reap n rich
harvest this fall, Judging from the
assessments Of this county and
considering the new and stringent
law for The collection ofpolls. ULon
some the burden Of taxation will
fall heavier than for years, owing
to the raise in The assessed value
of lands. The county levy will, of
course, be lowered to correspond
with the increase of the total as
sesSment, which will relieve the
burden TO some extent. But the
Slate levy will remain unchanged
until the Legislature reduces it,.
If the new method OF assessing
lands results in a general raise in
the value of real estate in proper
ton as it has raised values in this
section, The next Legislature ought
TO reduce the levy, by all means,
else the new assessment will result
IN heavier taxation, a thing alto.

came TO Montpelier in time for the enter

to have got the opera house warmed and in
readiness for the entertainment. The de-
tendant's counsel made the point to the court
that the action as brought could not be main
tanned, iuasmuCh as the contract upon which
the plaintiff relied for a recovery purported
to be between Mr.. James Il. Sabn on the

as agents for the Hungarian Gipsey troupe,
on the other. 1t was urged that the pres
ent action could not be sustained in the
name of Hathaway, but should have been
brought in the name of the Hungarans
To this the counsel for plaintiff replied that

they had been paid by the plaintiff The

PENDANT, and ordered Judgment accordingly
