The direct Land Tax Collected In 1855.

MI. Arch. G.. Christian shows us q re-
ceipt for the land tax paid the United
States in 1856 which settles the question Of
who collected it. Several gentlemen who
paid it were under the impression that it
was paid to Hawxhurst, Herr OF Logan,
but it seems the collector was i. II. Sea-
ring. He was not, Mr.. Christian thinks, Il
citizen of Augusta MI. Christian went
to the Virginia Hotel where the collector
had his headquarters in the first room to
the right after going up the main steps.
There were large numbers of people there
waiting to pay, and each got q numbered
ticket showing his turn to go i'll and settle.
