WEDNESDAY, FEBRUAJ' 28, 1877. MAKEX" PAYING EAST. If O' would pass an ordinance chang mg the present mode of receiving city taxes once year to twice a year say on the first of April and first of October of each year there would be a quicker return of revenue to the treasury, and considerable less growling among the tax payers. Taxes are pretty high now, and when they hare to be liquidated in a sin gle payment, the raising of the money is at tended, in a large majority of cases, with a good deal of inconvenience and trouble. The adoption of a semi annual plan, such as we have suggested, would, in limes like the present particularly, be an agreeable change to the tax payers.

REVISING OUR TAX LEVY. The system of taxatiou which has for years been a drain upon the substance of our people throughout the State, needs correction. The fact is admitted, but (he Legislature which alone has power to revise and amend our tax laws, is unable or unwilling to perform this duty. Meanwhile, oflicial treasuries sull'er for want of revenue, certain classes of property are overtaxed, and others which could well bear a levy entirely escape. It has been sug gested in order to get at something like a fair settlement of the tax levy, to call a Conven tion of the Commissioners of the several coun ties to discuss the subject.

The equity volved in this question requires legislation which will make it apply to the source whence the government derives its support. If SHOULD HE DONE HERE TOO. Among the recommendations of the New York Municipal Commission, to be submitted to the Legislature of that State for enactment into a law, is oue in reference to the cleaning and repairing of the streets of that city. The recommendation is to the effect that all contracts for keeping the streets in proper order shall be given out to the lowest responsible bidder, and all contracts to be small at that: the whole thing to be under the direction of the Board of Health. The Times and Dispatch time and again, made a similar suggestion to our City Councils upon the same subject that is, concerning the letting out of the work by contract to the lowest bidder.

The adoption of some such plan here would, we doubt not, save considerable money to the tax payers. A COMMISSION STRIH I.KGISI.A I I KK. The present Legislature seenis to be "Com mission struck," or at least some of its mem bers, are affected in that way. The number of these aids to law making proposed during this session has been heretofore referred to and the end, it seems, is not yet. Representative Mor gan, of Schuylkill county, sees the necessity of looking after the iron bridges in the regarding this as among the chief objects of his legislative life, straightway introduces a bill "authorizing the Governor to appoint a commission to investigate and report to the Legislature the condition of iron bridge struc tures in the State, either on railroad, toll or country roads," The sole aim of such bills is to provide a snug berth for somebody or some body's friends.

Berks county does not require the services of a bridge commission, and if County Commissioners or corporations build imperfect structures, there is a better remedy at hand than Mr. Morgan's bill, when the peo ple are ready to use it. TIRED OI' NEW YORK DICTATION, The supremacy of the New York Democracy in the national council of that body has proved a most acceptable source of victory to the Republicans. A nomination for President made under its direction has been the sure forerunner of disastrous defeat. To the Kepiiblican parly therefore, the continuance of New York doini nation in the ranks of the Democracy is of some moment.

McC'lellan, Seymour, Greeley and Tilden, all of New York, and nominated by National Democratic conventions at the in stance of th New York ring, have successively tasted of tho bitter cup. But the Democracy is crowine restive under this rule, and already the notes of discord and disallcctiou are heard. The Chicago Thim in a recent double leaded editorial attacked Mr. Hewitt with Bavage vigor. He is called "timid, hesi tating, unlit for gcneral in chief of a Presided tial campaign anil never equal to any emergen cy." The nomination of Hendricks for Vice President, it is well known, was regarded as an insult to the Western Democracy, and it ie quired all the persuasive tact of Gov.

Tilden himself and his coterie to secure Hendriok: consent to run on the ticket with him. Four such political disasters are regarded as about as much as they can conveniently afford.

How Plgeona are Prepared for Shoot ing Mutches The Ext renin Crneltlea Practised Fish and Hon I tenia of all Sorts. The extreme cruelty practiced in preparing pigeons for shooting matches is but little known beyond the bounds' of a portion of the sportitig fraternity.

The uninitiated generally suppose that the pigeons are caught, caged and left oil' again in the vigor of life, to become the target for the marksmen, but quite the reverse is the case. The chance for life on the part of the bird is an unequal one, after it has undergone the cruelties required by the modern pigeon shooting code. The Wilming ton (Del.) Cummercitd says a place exists in that city where pigeons are maimed and crippled for shooting matches. 110W THE l'OOR PIGEONS ARE TREATED. les anil lie stuck pins all through it, was the expression of a little boy when narrating to a reporter of that paper what he had seen at the place referred to, to some other which was overheard ly a kind hearted lady passing hy at the time.

The lady pursuing her inquiries further was enabled to gather the whole cruel programme ol torturing the birds. lu their native state, they are too vigorous and swift for the marksmen; so to remedy that thoy are illy fed. Then their bodies are to be tilled with pain, which is done by stick ing pins under the wings, and pins through their toes, and alter remaining in this con dition for some time, the toes are cut off close to the pin. The most cruel thine of all is spitting to bacco juice into the bird's the injection into them of a mixture of turpentine and cayene pepper. After all this preparation the bird is ready to be placed in a spring trap box to be let loose.

In starting up it cannot see whereto fly, and the extreme pain in its body makes it whirl round and round, in winch condition it is shot by the marksman and put out of misery. At a recent shooting match in that vicinity a pigeon was about to be let off, hut did not exhibit lite enough to make dim cult shooting. The keeper of the pigeon in order to make it around at a lively rate, took it in his hand, and putting it to hi mouth, deliberately bit oil the rump of the bird. His act was much applauded by the shooters. FISH ITEMS, HERE AND ELSEWHERE, Mr.

Israel Hartman, of Spring township, caught about a bushel of young black bass in the Union canal when it was drawn off several days ago. The fish were conveyed alive to a large pond at the Seitzinger ore mines about a mile from this city. Ihe pond is supplied with water lroin a subterranean stream, and is nearly thirty leet deep at various places. A new plan has hi en suggested to facilitate the passage of shad up the Susquehanna hy re moving the present obstruction at Columbia, and building in its place a cofferdam. It won't do, gentlemen its a dam obstruction anyhow, no matter what prefix you give it.

The largest fish brought to this market is the halibut. It is sometimes taken weighing over two hundred pounds, but the marketa, ble size varies from thirty to a hundred and twenty live pounds each. The Geriuantown 7VA raii has this to say about the fish It is captured oil' the coast of Maine, and generally ofl'lhe eastern coast, on tho fishing banks. The hsli was loruierJy taken only with hand lines, but is now booked with lay out lines, which he upon the bottom, supported at one end with a buoy. lliey are examined daily, should the weather not be too tempestuous, Great risk, nevertheless, attends the business, and a number of lives are annually lost during the winter.

As the fishermen ere obliged to hand in the lines from small boats, it not uiv frequently happens that the larger craft, which are anchored, is struck by a squall, parts her cable and is driven to sea, leaving her former occupants in small boats and out of sight of land. Oneot these vessels, which thus get adrift, was recently found on the coaFtoflre land, and was returned safely to her owners. Halibut retails in this market from fifteen to twenty cents per pound. The flesh always has a pinkish hue, intermingled with the white when liesh. lien the pink is not discernible the fish is stale.

It is ol excellent quality, ami very popular here. i he steamer which sailed Irom San Francisco to Australia and New Zealand Feb. fith, took out 180,000 while fish eggs from Lake Michigan for the latter colony.

6oo Bushels of Winter Apples. Solomon Shearer, Esq of Ihe Tuckerton Fruit Farms, has bix hundred bushels of winter npple, of such varieties as the Baldwin, Rhode Island Greening, Hiibbardston's Nuii Snch, Peck's Pleasant, Red Canada, King of Tompkins County Keim, Kranser, and other known varieties. He retails from fifteen twntv buhels every market day, at 15 to cents per half peck. He expects to be able a be by 2) lo to supply the retail market with apples for the next four month, until cherries will be in sea ion. The apples are stored in a fruit preserving house, and keep as fresh as the day they were picked from the trees.

The favorite variety at present is the Keim, which although rather below the medium size, is of a sprightly sub acid flavor, and remarkably crisp and free from imperfections, so as to make the iruic De sirable for table use. Mr. Shearer converted 000 bushels of apples last tall into cider for vinegar, while his brother Christopher ground up over 2.500 bushels of apples for the same purpose. The latter will have between 250 and 300 barrels of pure cider vinegar for sale. Amusements.

Blue Glass Business Run Mad. (ien. Plcasanton's blue glass theory is attracting almost as much attention as the doings of the Electoral Commission. You can't pick up a paper that don't treat the subject either seriously or humorously.

Among the latter, Is the following which we clip from an exchange: A venerable gentleman of scientific tastes up in the Twenty ninth' Ward has become a convert to Pleasonton's blqe glass crochet. Last Wednesday he dropped into an optician's emitorimn and bonudd a nairof hlun L'OfHlpfl lA Vraa nn Liu clou llana.l want in I hat store and ordered a little round piece of blue glass put in the top of his hat in place of the usual tin ventilator. He then partook of bluefish at a restaurant with a blue skylight, dipped his fingers into a blue glass finger bowl, and refused to drink anything until the waiter hunted him up a mug with a blue glass bottom. The day was now spent, and, going home in a blue light street car, the blue glass man, meeting his children at the door, refused to kiss any but those having blue eyes, sat down in a blue chair to read a copy of the blue laws nf rVinnpotteiit nnd ant intn annh a Hi il ttia "blues." that he took some infc :.7 7 u7. .1 ZZ wiitiug iii mo mil iiim ai jus ucawi lue glass of his coffin lid should be blue glass and his monument be made of blue granite, he lastly grabbed a revolver and blue out his brains.

P. Hassler, Cashier of the Carlisle Deposit Bank, committed suicide on Monday hy hanging. A coroner's inquest held upon the body found a verdict of death by his own hand. It appears that Mr. Hassler overdrew his bank account about $11,000, and this fact was discovered some four months ago.

The money was lost in speculations, and failing to replace it, he was arrested on Monday on a charge of embezzlement, bail being demanded in the sum of $15,000. Not going to his dinner at ene o'clock, his usual time, his son went in search of him, and about 4 o'clock he was found in the attic ot his house hanging to a rafter, and dead. A mostsingularcircumstanceconnected with Mr. Hassler's hanging is, that about fourteen years ago he cut down the body of W. H.

Beetem, cashier of the same bank, who like himself was a defaulter, and who was found hanging in the same attic to the same rafter, l'eelem's default amounted to some $150,000, but was made good out of his own property. Mr. Hassler was about fifty years of age, had an interesting family, was highly respected, and was an elder in the German Reformed Church. A Scare at Mohrsville. Our correspondent writes that considerable excitement was occasioned on Monday among the men employed at the Mohrsville depot by an unknown man being brought there in a car raige by some one in the morning.

He sat by the stove all forenoon among the people before it was discovered that he was ailing. It seems that he had missed the train. At about noon they discovered that he was sick, and on examination concluded that he had smallpox. Dr. Loose, who was afterward consulted, confirmed their belief.

The stranger was taken to the county Almshouse. Two of Mr. Daniel Undercoffler's children will be buried at Bellman's Church to day, aged 13 and 15 years. Association Hall, Philadelphia, was recently thronged to hear Dr. Fowler's lecture, "Great Deeds of Great Men," and it held the audience spell bound.

Having long been sufferers from this dreaded complaint, we were induced to try this valuable remedy and with astonishing results. To show our high appreciation of its merits, we earnestly recommend it to all dyspeptics as a speedy and radical cure. It is no nostrum hut on the contrary a purely herb medicine, and will do no injury to the weakest constitution.

Particularly in cases of a debilitated or impoverished state of the blood Its elteets are really wonderful and for all complaints arising from an impure state of the blood it appears to work like a charm, and I do not believe thure are any circumstances under which Vegetine can be used with injurious results, and it win always auora me pleasure to give any lurther luiormauon a to wuat i jtnow anout vegetine.
