There are not as many reported for assessment this year, us there I were last year, and the average value of this year's mule is four dollars less than that of last year’s animal. This is not true in every town- j ship, however, because, in some of those units there are more mules this year than last, but, neither year, was there a single mule in Green-; castle city and the four towns. Figures taken from the compilation of the reports of the assessors in Putnam county, for this year, on ! HI" in the office of It. L. Pierce county assessor, are our evidence for these statements.
