Our farmer friends should put under
cultivation every available acre of land
that tney can spare and get help to work.
This is to be a year of heavy state taxes.
and the farmer must contribute his full
share. The legislature has created all
manner Of Offices to reward the faithful,
and the increase in our state taxes will
foot up many thousands, possibly hun
dreds of THOUSAND Of dollars. This would
not be SO bad if we were getting any thing
in return, which We are not, most of tue
Offices being more of the nature of a calam-
ity than need. How about the tax CON-
missoners, with salaries of 81, 500 each,
who meet in Trenton to revise and assess
taxes all over the state? There is as little
use aud as little need for them as there il

What's the matter with the Salem of the
past, old Siem We suppose il will have TO
b., siuce there is a new Salem of which
the papers and the people are now CONSTANT
ly talking. Old Stlem we knew as far
back as the sos and it didn't appear SO
very old at the time, and the time don't
seem so very far back, either. What de.
lightfully quaint old town it was to be
sure, with its long line of level streets bor-
dered with towering shade trees and SUBJ
stantial Quaker looking houses on either
side, and pretty green yards in front. Oh.
1t was daisy place at that time, and We
never expect to see better people until
we ascend to the Salem above, the new
Jerusalem in the SIX les.
Among it's residents at that date was
Charley Smith of the National Standa, d.
Charles Perrine Smith, he loved to write il,
Robert Gwynne of the Sunbeam. Uncle
Bob now, and other literary fellers' we
let pass Richard P. Thompson was one
OF its lawyers, so too was Francis l.. Nc
Cullough aud Alphonso l.. Eakin and few
lesser lights, some OF whom are now living.
The clergymen were Helms of the Pres
byteran, Dandy of the Methodist and
Yoang of the Baptist churches, together
with one or two others We cannot now
recall.
When it come to men of business tAeir
name was legion, and We believe them
just as enterprising and just as driving as
those OF to day. The names OF some of
them, was Copner, Smashy and Morton,
shoe dealers,J. c. & e. w. Dunn, Rumsey
Bros, G. w. Garrison, and Robinson. dry
goods merchants, Hurley, Robinson & Lip
p ncott and Roberts & Btssatt druggists,
with Gao. W. FInlaw running the solitary
clothing house, we believe, in the place. at
the old Star corner.
The two handsome steamers plying from
Salem to Philadelphia were the Major
Reybold and Miantnomah, commanded
respectively by Capts Saml. Tatem aud
Charles Bilderback. John Tyler run the
taunery, Henry Sinnickson the leather
store, Samuel Ward the smthery, and
joel Emily and Levi Dabree were the boss
carpenters and contractors. Mine host
Calvin B. Camp set the bar al the hotel op.
posits the Court house, and Josiah ).
Hsckelt at tue Nelson House head of
Market street We think the Mansion
house was occupied at about this time by
tenant named Walraven. John P. Bruna
had just began turning out his inimitable
Ice cream, and Joe Heishon was getting
for himself a local habitation and a name.
Uncle Billy Daniels was leader in the
church choir and county prison turnkey
wrapped i'll Que, and Const ible Sam Ware
was unique character never t. be for
gotten when once known.
The prominent men Of the place outside Of
those above mentioned were: T. Y. +.
Rushing. Minor Harvey, Calvin BeIden
Thomas Dick inson. BENZ smin Lloyd. John
NJ. Brown, Robert Johnson Sr aud Jr.,
Joseph Kllie. George NJ. Ward, the
Newells, Boones etc, all whom or nearly
all have now like dream, passed away.
The new Silem we suppose is to be the
city of better streets, more rattle and
racket, electric lights. and water works,
a nd a that, but better than the old, never.

BIER.

BlER.
In the manufacture of beer from barley
or other grains, the liquor is brewed or
boiled, and for this reason representation
of Bear, or, as the animal is also called
Bruiu, was once used to suggest the
kind Of liquor sold.
There was something of fitness in such
a sign, for BruIn is a mischievous animal,
and that the Brewing suggested by such a
sign is mischevous, is well-known. 1t is a
fact, that neither Bear or Beer is safe un-
less under restraint or dead.
The German way of spelling the word
bier, is suggestive of the final aud inevita-
oily FASTENED end Of those who drink the
product of malt.
An old proverh we'll says:
"II. tooi1 is beer
From year TO year
Until his bier look him."
Iu the case Of beer driDkeei; everybody
has noticed that many of them do not have
to wait until they are dead before tbev are
carried; a policeman, dray, or the ''Black
Maria frequently performs this service
while they are living; still even then they
are called Dead Drunks.
