Answering Ass ssor. Mr. Daniel Vise, Absc mor, Pear Sir, Greetings : -Your answer to my lotter In The Utah a few weeks ago wan very satisfactory, seemingfy, to yourself, but I cannot see It that way. Id glancing over the adjusted valuation I see so many things I don't understand that I am forced once more to inquire for information. Why is there so much difforonce in the following assessments on horses : Levi Schugre four horses tlfiO.OO, L.E. Cochran tw . horses $200.00, John Strouso two horsee $140 00, Israol Snyder two horses 50.u0, John Cable two horseB 1100.00, Allen Cathers two horses 105.00, Wm. Bon r three horses 1100.00, J. K. Woinoldurf two horses IMO.OO, Robert Smith seven horses $150.00, C. O. Sprague three horses $125.00, John Smith three horses $100.00, Fred Walker two horses $50.00, J. B. Sykes four horses $150.O A. L. Strouse two horses $.50.00, A. V. Sykes four horses C170.00, Jool Snyuor two horses $90.00 ? I find on the adjusted valuation fifty- ifiht doubUassossmfint , four thribblo assessments, fiftoon c sad men still assessed for taxes and or 3 hundred and forty-two persons that h .ve pone out of our township assessed with personal property and also o jpation taxes. Now this kind of an aet jssment builds up a false valuation of oi r township and causes a groat lot of in :onvonience to our supervisors, schoo directors and tax collectors, and the t editors cannot understand why thero are so many exonerations asked for at the settle ments.

At the urgent solicitation of the Wo -nan's Home Companion, Mr. Paul de Longpre, who is the greatest painter of flowers in the world, consented to make a painting of what he considered "The Three Most Beautiful Roses," and the painting is without doubt one of the masterpieces of this great artist. This magnificent picture is reproduced in all its original grandeur on the cover of the Woman's Homo Companion for June. Although this cover is an ac curate reproduction of a painting worth hundreds of dollars, yet the June num ber, which has this exquisite cover, may be obtained at m y first-class news stand or direct from ie publishers for the trivial sum of or.. ' tc n cents. Mr. Paul de Long a li justly styled the "King of FU rainters." He not only paints hu- every flower that grows, and is ouj highest authority on flowers.

THE GAME LAWS. Privileges to Hunters ate Curtailed by New Law. The now Pennsylvania game laws which have been approved by the govornor curtails the privileges hereto fore enjoyed by the hunter. The fol lowing are the new innovations. Hares and rabbits can only be killed during the month of November. Pheasants from Oct. 15 to November 30. One hunter is limited to five birds per day, 20 per week and 60 for the season. The limit for turkey for one hunter is one per day and four for the season, which opens October 15 and ends November 29. The deer season, which in the pre vious law Included the month of Nov ember, now opens on November 15, and ends November 30. One deer a season is the limit. Hunters must not use a dog in the woods, only a rifle emitting a single bullet at each discharge. This does away with bucksbot, the load much used in deer hunting. Quail can be legally killed In Novem ber, and the law makes it a misdemean or to shoot at tbum when they are bunched on tbe ground. Dogs following deer in the woods are declared to be a public nuisance and can be killed by any assistance game warden or other state officer. Tbe owner or owners of such dog are liable for a penalty of t25 for every deer chased, and $50 for every deer so killed. Interest paid on tim t deposits at The Peoples National Bank.
