And that all taxes unpaid after the Ist of December, each year, with 10 per cent added, shall be given to collectors who mustmake returns within 60 days. This poposilion has met with much censure in parts of oor county where it has been discussed. We have seen a remonstrance on the subject, and have been furnished with the proceedings of a meeting held in Economy township, Beaver county, which we shall publish. A meeting was also held in Franklin town ship,in our own county, about the affair. The plan is partly borrowed from s very bad system of collecting Taxes, which prevails in Ohio.
