TAXES.

] For the Rensselaer Gazette.

Mr. Editor: Will you please insert the following sections oi the Revenue Laws i.d' Indiana, for the information of tax-payers: See. 96. In case any person shall re,use or neglect to pay the tax imposed on him. the-County Treasurer shall, after the third Tibndt‘v in Mach, levy the same, togethi r with .ten per- centum damages, and the cosi and charges that may accrue by distress and sale of the goods and chatties of such, who ought to pay the same wheresoever the same may, be found in toe county Snc. 102. (See Revised Statutes,) Tin* several County Trca.sig-srs be, and they are hereby required, immediately alter their annual settlement with the Auditor of State, either in person or by deputy, to cal! upon every delinquent tax-payer in their respective counties,and, if necessary,to distrain property for the collection of such delinquent tax, together with penalty and interest.

Now, sir, owing to the fact that there has beeri a decision of the Courts that tax on real estate cannot be collected by selling the land until the personal propery, if there is any, is. first exhausted. Tax-payers will, therefore, take notice of the above sections of law, and may expect to be visited by me, or my deputy, for the purpose of collecting whatever taxes remain unpaid after the third Monday in March.» 4 Ezra Wright, Treasurer ot Jasper County.
