Last fall Mr. Moore lost a valuable cow and when she was opened a large number of small pieces of glass wore found inside of her.

An article in last week's Vtihinlrrr states two facts which confront tho town council, via: That tho borough treas ury Is empty and that tho streets are In a bud condition. This Is bad, but It could easily be worse. This condition of tho borough Implies that an increaso of tax will bo necessary to remedy tho evil. This wo gather from the continu ation of said article. Now It goes with out saying that tho tax-payers of this borough would prefer av diminution of their taxes rather than an Increase. Voicing an existing sentiment, opposed to ever-increasing taxation, wo suy to those in chargo of tho levying of taxes, go slow, gentlemen: go slow In this matter. ('(insider that tho assessed valuation of the borough is greatly in excess of Its real worth. That real es tate is in a manner non-productivo, scarcely realizing three per cent, after all expenses are pnid. Consider tho times, never beforo so bad as now; that many of these tax-payers have to go outsldo tho borough to earn not only tho money to pay their taxes, but their daily bread as well. Struggling to save their homes, do not crush them. Wo are burdened now with a heavy and entirely unnecessary debt to satisfy an Insano desire to keep up with tho times. Exercise a wise discretion. Do not increase our burdens; let us have a rest. Consider that our taxes have doubled In tho past live years very dolorous years to property owners. It may be answered that the rato is low. Ah, yes, but It means money all tho same, and a great deal of it. Consider that we can get along pretty well by patching up streets and side walks for a year or two yet. A debt Is no blessing to pay heavy taxes is a sorry satisfaction. The larger part of our taxpayers do not use the streets, only to a very limited extent, and all will be willing to make allowances In the Interest of economy. (io slow in luying taxes, yo powers that be. anil all will bo '.veil. Conservative. Dr. Harvey Graeme Furbay Married. The following account of the marriage of Rev.
