"sTEAlINGn BARRELS.

Anonymous communications, as a rule, call for and receive no atten- tion, but there is occasionally one which deserves different consideration, such as the following, for instance: Dear MT Editer
 Pleas let us no in yure vaIud paper, when the law is of en steeling bar rels. Yurs truly,
 Jail Hill Boy.
 Granting the sincerity and the iden- tity of the questioner to be genuine, such a communication indicates that Jail Hill Boy should be displaying greater interest in things educational and shSuld be devoting a generous portion of his spare time to the spell ing book. It nevertheless expresses a popular but wrong idea concerning the custom, so long established in this city, of gathering barrels for the Thanks giving night fires.
 There is no open season on the bar rels. Except that it is done in a lawful manner there is no time when the law respects the collecting of bar rels. Stealing barrels is as much against the law as stealing anything else and the idea should not be allowed to prevail that theft of any kind is countenanced or encouraged by law.
 For the sake Of the barrel-burning custom, peculiar to Norwich, much Ieniency is shown by the authorities and property owners concerning the matter of barrels and thes methods adopted by the boys in getting them at this season of the year, but at nc time is the practice of stealing bar rels,'' for that is what much of ii amounts to, removed from the penalty of the law. It prevails through tol- erance, but not by any privileges which law extends.

 The decision to place the bulk of the war revenue tax on beer and alcoholic drinks is 0 sensible one. That's the ideal place for a tax. The stuff itself imposes a fearful tax onrhumanity and civilization. It causes greater expense than war itself. If it can be made to return to the public treasury even a slight part of that which it subtracts it should by all means be done. --
