Town tax that was In Harris' hands has
been given to M. C. Woodwnrd for settle
ment. It has already been ascertained
Hint quite a number of persons who hold
receipts are not credited on the duplicate,
and many others claim to havo paid Harris,
but took no receipts. From all tho cir
cumstances surrounding the case we feel
safe in saying that Harris has "skipped."
It is Impossible ns yet to tell how much he
collected that is unaccounted for, or how
many persons there nre who will hnve to
pay their tax a second time. The moral
of this is, that no man should pay a cent
of tax to u collector without taking a
receipt therefor.

mother tells me I am an excellent house
keener in all respects. She often goes
away on long visits and leaves mo to keep
house. Besides that I am a lady who can
move in first class society. I am n collcirc
graduate, and also quite a musician. If
you should choose mo to bo your wife,
after having my liousu work done, I could
often amuse you by singing nnd playing
tor you. l can do almost anything you
wish me to. I can hitch up u horse as
well as any man, and curry one, too. I
often do for pupa when he is busy. I am
not very anxious to cot married, though,
So, if when I meet you, you do not suit
me, I'll say no, no matter how much you
like me, for I have a good home anil don't
need to marry if 1 do not wish to. I gen
erally have a few music scholars and tliat
gives me some extra sncndinii money.
But for all that I would rather marry, if I

die an old maid."

forcible address. He said tliero arc nearly
