i. Forty cents is the present State tax on
every 800 worth of property, Is it not1

posed in the ten bills he should give the
public the benefit of his information.

From Longman's Magazine.
The news of ListOn's trial of an.
esthesia by the inhalation of ether
was brought as soon as possible
to Glasgow, and was conveyed at
once to the different learned pro-
fessors of medicine in that city. 1
was at the time one of the stu.

cording to custom the large class
was seated in the lecture theatre,
waiting for the middle. day lecture.
The professor we were under was

Gus, able and enthusiastic teach

most punctual men in the world
in respect to lecture time, and af-

minutes at least, with no profess

little restless and noisy, wonder.
