SN.O. $ar a n-Dee. -Inoferle' to common, 3, to 31; Fair, j8 to Prime, 4) to 4J; Choice, 41 to 5. nolsa-es-16 to 174 seats. TAxrrAox AeSD taxes I in this city have been steadily increasing year after year, till now they have beoope exceed.

ingly onernsm to propery dwners. For the current year the assessment is something a 4125 on every hundred dollars of property. If this constantly accumulating load of taxation were rendered necessary by a series of grand improvements, such as the Croton works, or -ay I thing else which would, after a while, begin to pay back the outlay, it might be cheerfully borne. But such is not the case. The expeno lt diture is chiefly for the admsinistration of justice t1 the trial and punishment of offenders against the laws, the protection of the city, and the ti maintenance of paupers, and no portion of what a is thus expended ever comes back in any shape.

Itis all money thrown away. It is like water spilled upon the earth which cannot be gathered again. Property holders complain loudly that so large a portion of their means must be yielded annu. lly to the tax gatherer, nor do we wonder that they feel sore on the subject. But we do won.

der exceedingly that, shrewd men as most them do not perceive the grand came d-heavy taxes and apply the remedy in the right tc-. It has been shown over and over again, that bsh balk efumnicipal expenditure is attributable our drinking habits. Three4uurths of the i -mes which cost such an enormous sian, and the same proportion of the pauperism which quarters itself on the public treasury are con-. easedly produced by intemperance. And I only way to stop this expense is to dry up the fnastains at intemperance.

These are nat the assertions of enthusiastic temperance thea, but judges, grand jurors, legislators, and statesmen are unanimously of the same opinion Yet notwithstanding all this, the men ofpro. perty here and, elsewhere, are gnoerally the most indiferent towards the temnpesence rformn. With few exceptions, they-take go sealous part in Aempearnce societies, and too often throw cold water on the efforts of those who do.They see vice and iniquity growing and spread. ingaroesul them-they see the, great cane of estd of those evils which consume tbe.sumtaace ofdte ceammuif, and yet to a fearful extent, they not only withhold their inflenctarom all slempts to reform the nation, but by their esample give respectability to the drinking usages et society, and to the traffic in intoxicating liThere is no point in regird to which we are Uses rlear than this, that the abolition of in. temperance would at once lesson taxation more thmn all the moral Iad social advantages which would be realised.

The data upon which this estimate is based are unimpea. dable, and manifest to all. When, we bear men complain of their heavy taxes, whils ey refuse their co-operatisn with the temperance reform, we confess our inabilily to sympat.dbawith them. Every man who doeby hisi a splfand infioees assist is the ateoli. lion of in must be considered as sup it 4l entitledl to comof his own M1aried, oa ThuuaaBy eening hat, in Fmakle, by the e.
