Woodward, once said when catechising
Judge Kidder, ."thig is not lo bo toler
ated!" It is an outrage on justice, a
moil I'upiJ anJ censurable b'underpud
how the IJjard could find it in theii
minds to do ibis thing, ij unaccountable
and n'onithing.
There are about CO Counties in ih
SM'.The valuation of property ii inerea
i d by t lie Hoard of Commissioners in 17
Counties only; and in I of these 17 thi
increaie is small, leaving 11 Counties in
all lo whom the blessing ol additions
taxation it veiy largely extended.
Among these 11 Counties we find litdi
Colombia, though ihe is taxed already
far beyond her Mr and due proportion
of he general burden; and we feel fieri
ouifly and justly indignant at the fact.
Nearly 1000 if we are correct in our
fluting, will thus be added lo our slate
tax as a county, and our citizens at
expected quietly !o 'fork over' to the
tax collector, thanking Heaven mean
while that they li-vc in a County where
Ihe assessments are honestly taken ai:d
where, as a consequence, the taxes are
double as high as those which othti
nsrts ol the stale are called on to sua-
liiu.
The truth is that the Tate or standard
of valuation acted on by our Assessors
ii above the average standard through
cut the state, and the Board of Revenue
Commissioneri should have made are
duclh'i instead of an increase for this
County.
in an article, in our last numberyjome
facts and statistics were given upo

heresf er until justice is done to thi
County. We give below an authei.tic

tlx venous Counties made by the
Board.

3fore Marble A few weeks ago we

THE TRIAL OF McCURRY.
The trial of Henry McCurry, on a
:harge f the murder of Paul Roux, corn
nenced in the Baltimore City Court on
Monday. Tho counsel for the prisoner, in
iddition lo ihe usual questions, asked ihr
ptivilepe of inquiring of the jurors wh. iher
ihey were members or not of the Odd
Fellows' Association, contending thai a.
ihe deceased was a member of that Order,
ind ns they hud taken a pnriicnlnr interesi
in the case, and ulfeied a lewaid for the ap
prehension of the murderer, they could
nut be disinterested jurors.
The Court appointed Triers to decide
ihe question. The purport nf ihe testimony
if the t wo persons examined, was that O hi
Fellows felt more intercut in the ense nf n
member of their Order, than they world
in that of another member of the eommuni
ty.luit that there was no obligation iinpospi1
upon them by the Order which would pre
vent them from acting impartially , as jur"i
ir in any other capacity, in trying a person
'harmed with an offence against any iiiein
ier of the Order The triers decided ihn
there was nothing in the constitution of do
issociation of Odd Fellows to pieveot them

desirous to see something more of Bruin

the wood lhat covered him. This was
easily done, ihe tree being much decayed
but the bears thinking (if bears do thing)
that prtng had come rather suddenly, wi
suppose, walked up, and pushed out of h
broken house to take an observation. Nodi
ing daunted, our heroine gave him blow af
inr blow with the butt ol her axe, and a
lengih despatched him.
Hardly was this done when a second
bear began to back out of the lug-cabin
and having killed one, she felt emboldened
to make way with another, which; being
done; a third making his appearance, also
met the late ol Ins companions. When the
other sister returned, she found thai during

killed wiih an axe a feal unparalleled, we
think, in the annals of female heroism.

Mr. Cushing on the War Prospects.
Mr. dishing lias wrote a long letter, which
is published, giving his views as to the
probability of war with Mexico. Mr. O.
i eg -mis the withdrawal of the Mexican Min
tster as a matter of little moment, and su i
puses lhat Ihe threats of Mexico while the
question was ponding were made in the
hope of deterring tho United Slates Irom
consummating the measure. He suggests
that there are many degrees from this step
of withdrawal lo even lha danger of war;
and lhat it does not follow that our Minis
tei mubt leave Mexico, and refers lo pre
cedents, Nor would war bo the necessary
consequence of a total suspension of diplo
ui -I ue intercourxe. He assumes our right
io treat wiih Texas, from the fact of bavin;
acknowledged her as an independent pow
er. It Mexico ever had any cause of quar
rel with us in the case, il was lor the origi
nal recognition of Tex an indrptudence,
which m been done by other powers
Fiuiii this he eouclniJea thut Mexico has no
justifiable cause of war and ttul a war
would dismember her republic. Mr. C.
further says:
'If the suhjiicis nf any foreign powers i.n
lertake to cmise aainsi us under it .
Mexican U ig, without permissi on of then
iwn Government, it will be our right and
hi r duty to treat all such peisons as ou'laws

Mr. C speaks in the following manly
manner:
In this as in certain other cases, I have
noticed with shame and concern the tlis
position, which some persons in the U. S
manifest loeonsidir whether Great Britain
will be satisfied w ith this or that addition lo
die territory of tho U S, Suppose hei
dissatisfied? What then? Does England
ask our consent lhat she may add to hei
possessions a new kingdom annually bv
wars of conqnenl in Asia? No more need
we ark her consent lo llie extension of our
power in America' 1 admire and honor
ihe greatness of England, but I do not fear
it; lor while I know that her greatness dates
from the day when she surrended to us her
supremacy in America, and turned her at
ten'.ion to Asia chiefly, so 1 believe that
her decline will dase from the day (if ilia'
day is ever lo coine when she sh dl lesunie
again the snuggle in America. At any ran
limiting, in my opinion, can be more wild
and idle, than lo appiehcud that the acqui
silion of Texas by the U. S. is to disturb in
ihe slit litest degree the haimony of our re
lalions with ureal Britain.
