The concert given by Miss Mamie
Baird's music class at the Academy of
Music last Friday evening was we'll at
| tended, and was deserving a crowded
house. The programme was a good
one and excellently rendered. The
pupils showed careful training and a
thorough knowledge of the rudiments
of the .'divine art" In a word, the
little people did themselves and their
teacher credit, and proved that for in
struction in music the Valley needs no
| importation from abroad.

The following letter has been adj
dressed by the Collector of Internal
| Revenue at St. Louis to retail dealers
| in tobacco; Under the new law you
| cannot sell leaf tobacco to consumers
| without first qualifying as manufacture
ers by giving bond and filing a state
| ment accurately describing the place
where your business is to be carried
on. After that is done you will be re-
/ quired to put up the tobacco in
packages prescribed by the Commits
sioner and pay the tax of six cents per
pound. The regulations will be for
| warded to you as soon as received from
the Commissioner. Until then you
must discontinue selling leaf tobacco"
Hereafter the fourth-class postmasters
will have another source of revenue
to add to the many that he now holds
in the smaller settlements. He now
can act as notary public for pension
ers and witnesses in pension cases only
and can charge the pensioner not ex-
ceeding % cents for each voucher to
which he affixes the seal of his office.
The new authority and emOiuments In
the village postmaster sprung from an
act approved on the Esd inst, which
.sreuuires, empowers and authorizes"
them to administer any and all oaths
required 20 be made by pensioners and
their witnesses in the execution OF
their vouchers with ike effect and
force of officers having a seal. and
| such postmaster shall affix the stamp
of his Office to his signature to such
vouchers" The law includes all
manner of pension cases in which an
| oath is required, including vouchers
| for the regular quarterly payments.
| This authority to the fOurth-elass post
| masters does not mean that & notary
who has heretofore taken pensioners
| depositions can no longer do so: on the
contrary. it is stipulated expressly that
they may do so. The law was passed
at the instance of Congressman repre-
senting country districts which are but
| sparseIy settled and is to save travel
on the part OF pensioners. The pen
| sion office is anxious to have notice
given of the changed conditions made
| by the law.
We shall try to make patient reply
| to Mr.. W. b. Newman's TRADE in this
| paper If we succeed in answering
with equanimity to the venom he with
| ..solemn visage squirts on all around"
well for us: while if. in defense of the
truth. and against the bald assertions
of those who cloak their yindictiveness
under the ample folds of moraiity's
| borrowed garment. aught be said out
side the vail OF courtesy, we hope to
find reasonable excuse. Mr.. Newman,
beginning. passes by Il ''slur. This,
beside being a false start. Is narrowing
to the souls of the just. But let us get
to the false statements with which
the REGISTER is charged. First. that
Messrs. Gay. Hutchins and Newman
were willing TO vote for anybody
much matter whom--;o defeat Prof.
| Vance" OF course. we did not mean
to infer-and no ..fair-minded person
would so take our assertion-that the
