Notice to Delinquent Tax Payers.

Following is the law regarding the collection of delinquent taxes, kindly furnished us by Treasurer Alter: Sec. 158. After Monday of April the Treasurer shall cause a list to be made delinquents, with the amount due from each, and with a separate column headed “return,” which list shall be certified to be correct by the County Auditor, and shall then proceed with such list, which, when so certified, shall be a sufficient authority, and have the same force and effect as an execution, to call, either in person or by deptity, upon every person named in the duplicate who is delinquent, and who resides in and he shall make a demand lor the amount of such delinquent taxes, and Che penalty thereon, of each resident delinquent, and if the taxes and penalty are not paid on such demand, he shall proceed immediately to levy upon sufficient personal property of such delinquent to pay such taxes, penalty and the costs of sale, and to sell the same in the manner and at the place hereinafter provided. In case such delinquent tax and penalty is paid upon demand, such Treasurer shall charge and receive from such delinquent, in addition to the taxes and penalty, the sum of twenty-five cents, and where a levy is made, he shall charge and receive, in addition to his other costs, the sum of fifty cents, and mileage and constable fees, for collecting and taking care of property for such demand. Sec. 159. County Auditors shall not be authorized to credit the Treasurer with any uncollected delinquency for which he claims credit, unless such Treasurer shall show, by proper returns as above provided, verified by his oath or affirmation that he has diligently sought for and has been unable to find any personal property from which to collect such taxes, or that having made a levy, he was enjoined’ or otherwise prevented from making sale or collection by a court of competent jurisdiction; and in all cases where he has failed to maker demand upon residents who afc delinquent, or to levy and sell when personal property can be found in the county out of which to make the tax, hie shall be liable, on his official bond, for such uncollected delinquency and ten per cent, dam-

There seems to be ho longer any doubt but that the Louisville and Nashville has gained oontrol of the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago, which extends from New Albany to Michigan City, a distance of 288 miles* and with it has also secured the Chicago and Indianapolls Air Line, which is .partly built, and which, when fnrahed, will make much the shortest line between the two cities of its name. The last named road crosses the N. A. and 0. at Bradford, fiftynine miles from Michigan City, and will, of course, taken in connection with that line, furnish the most direct route between Chicago and New Albany,, or when the short link between this city and Louisville is completed, the most direct line between Chicago and Louisville. The Louisville and Nashville has, also, as we announced some months ago, obtained control of the Chicago and Eastern and Evansville and Terre Haute, so that it has a line from Evansville, on its St. Louis division, to the Lake City. These accessions are of the most valuable kind, not only giving extensions of that great system to Lake Michigan at two points, but also three excellent local roads, which must prove profitable investments, looked at as independent short lines. The surprising growth and vigor of the Louisville and Nashville has mode it now the leading company of the South, and it has a network of lines which must enable it to compete successfully with all rivals, and do more than any toward building np the South. —[Bailway Register.

Is it Possible —That a remedy made of such common, simple .plants as Hops, Buchu, Mandrake, Dandelion, Ac., make so many and such marvelous and wonderful cures as Hop Bitters do? It must be, for when old and young, rich and poor, Pastor and Doctor,/ Lawyer and Editor, all testify to having been cured by them, we must believe and doubt no longer. See another column. —[Post.
