knowing the oondilioa of the rondo of th
Goanty to be m very bad one, they proceed
ed, in neeordsnee wllh on Aet of the Legit
isture, panted Ifnreh lib, 1171, to leryj
tax of one mill on the dollar, for tbo par
pose of repairing the pnblto highways.?
The neoeesity and propriety of thia aetioi
was s J milled by every ona, aa many of on
roads ara now almoat Itnpaeeeble, and an
i cm something be done, the inconveniene.
to trarel will be no little. In alow c
this condition ot things, the Commissioner
oarefully deliberated what ahould be doo
for improviog the roads. Knowing tha
our people were already taxed enough, the]
hesitated long before coming to a eonclu
ion as to another levy. They waited un
til after the adjournment of the last aeaaioi
of the Legis'ature, not knowing bat tha|
the law in regard to the construction an<
repair of highways anight be altered o
changed. After same length of time ha<
clasped, seeing no new Act of the Legists
ture published? nor beiog provided wit]
the Aete by any of the S'nte officials, the;
proceeded to levy and oolleot n tax of oo
mill oo the dollst, appointing Highwa;
Collectors lor each Township, and publish
ing tire Aet of the Legislatnre under whicl
the tax waa levied, for general Information
Some question in regard to the applicatioi
of the law to the City tax payers beini
raised, the Chairman ol the Board, W. A
lltosON. E?q., wrote to Hon. D. H. Cham
df.alalm, Altoroey-Oeneral, on the subject
who gave hie official opinion in favo
of the collection of the tax, whieh we pub
Halted in our columns. The Commissioner
had proceeded thus far in the collection o
said tax, when they had their attentioi
called to an Act of the Legislature, pastec
on the last day of the session, when so vas
a number of bills ware rushed through
amending the former Act and requiring
that the funds to be raised for such re
paira ba collected at the same time of thi
general taxes. We append below this laal
Aet. Of eeuree, the Highway Collectors it
the different Townships have been ordered
to de?iet from further collections, and Mid
ta* will be postponed until the payment ol
tire general taxes, aa provided by law. The^
regret their action in the matter, because il
has placed them in a somewhat awkward
eituatlon ; but as tbey acted with all of tb<
intelligence before them, theeourse pursued
t\y them was right and proper.
What wa think vary aingular, is the
fact that neither our Senator from Orcenville
Countv, or either of our Representatives
in the liouae, who were present at
the closing soenes of the Legislature, should
not have called public attention to the paa
sage of the last Act, amending the former
and still more surprised ara we that th<
Attorney Oeneral of the State should bav<
been corresponded with on the subject, end
be, too, have not alluded to it
An Act to Amend an Act Entitled " An Act It
J\ovide for tke Cone true lion and Repaire oj

.Section 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and

were entirely destroyed ; also the out-build
ioga on the plantation of Mrs. Rodan, four
miles to the West of the town. Miles of
feneiog along tha trsck of the storm were
leveled to the ground, and thousands of the
largest fruit trees were torn up by the
roots, and, in many eases, carried to coos
aiderable oistanee The total loss csr.not
fall short of $Bff,000, sod falls mostly upon
people 1n very limited circumstances.
A public meeting of the eitisensof the town,
presided over by the Ret. L. C. II In ton, was
held in tha eowrt house this afternoon. A

a substantial house was not blown oror. The
handsome grounds of Moj. George Melton

the large forest trees which constituted its
chief attraction.

Poisoned to Death.
A healthy liver secretes each day ahotrt two
and a half pounds of bile, which contains a
great amount of waste tnaterfaf taken from the
blood. When the liver becomes torpid or congested
it fails to eliminate this vast amount
of noxious substance, which, therefore remain*
to poison the blood and be conveyed to every
pnrt of tbe system. What must be the condition
of the blood when it ie receiving and retaining
each day two and a half pound* of
poison? Nature tries to work off this poison
through other channela and organ*?the kidneys,
