A number of people have called at the assessors office to look at the tax lists. Thus far no fault has been found with the valuation set upon property. It is well known that in some instances, as the Curtis Thomp son estate, the value has been in creased. Exactly how much the grand list will be increased cannot be told until the Board of Relief has con- cluded it's labors. The hope was eX- pressed in town yesterday that the increase has been sufficient to enable the town to raise money for Varl- ous pressing purposes, such as the Hollister Heights school, the improve ment of various streets and the build ing of a gutter along Main street of sufficient depth and width to take off the water. Judge Peck said yester- day that he had been over the lists and was satisfied they are as good as can be made.
 MT. and Mrs Samuel Beardslee of King street. who have been spending some months in Florida, have sailed for home and are expected in town tomorrow. When they arrive the truth about the alleged alligator hunting can be ascertained.
 MT. Gilbert Ashley, of New York, who came on to see about the pond which was flooded so that the young people could have a good place to skate, is still in town. He is said to be the teacher of a Bowery night school, and is particularly fond of boys and girls, and would do anything in his power to give them pleasure. He doesn't object to the skating, but other mans land.

 Our famous citizen, Capt. John Bond, has departed for Florida. His health has not been quite as good of late as he could wish, and he hopes a warmer climate will renew his youth. While away Mrs. Bond will conduct the business. The many friends of the doughty Captain hope his journey will be helpful.
 Yesterday MT. Umberhagen, of Elm street, was able to be cut for the first time since he caught a fall a week or so ago on the ice. He lives near the place where the Beach flying ma chirse is suppoaed to Be, and one morning he thought he heard the en- zine going, and the wings of the ma chine Hopping and he suspected his neighbor was about to take a flight. Taking his binoculars he went to the back door to look over the landscape when his feet flew up in the air, and he came down. He says that instead of seeing an aeroplane he saw stars. While no bones were broken, the shock was great and it took a week to re- cover
