ATTORNEY GENERAL WILLIAMSON gives the following opinion as to the assessment of bank stock

The shares in National Banke, under the act of Congress are regarded as personal property, and are held by stockholders as such, and are subject to assess-, raent and taxation as personal property, These shares are as fluctuating in value as any other species of personal property, and are worth on each day what they will bring in tbe market.

Brutal Treatment of the Insane in Massachusetts. The Massachusetts Legislative Committee which is charged with the investigation of the death of Parks, at the Taunton Lunatic Asylum, happened a few days ago, upon a bit of new testimony, of just such a character as furnishes Charles Reade with the material for "Hard Cash." Paprick Milan, of Readville, a former patent at the asylum, testified that he saw the struggle between Parks and the attendants, three men held down the victim; of these three, Young was kneeiing [sic] on his breast, choking him and striking him with his fist; Lamson was stamping upon Parks' breast with his heel, and kicking him in the side with all his might, waiting for a chance to hit fair between the struggles of the victim, who hallooed as often as there was any breath in his body. When Parks was completely exhausted, he was taken to his bedroom, where the witness heard more violence in tho night. Why didn't tho witness make public such doings? He did not dare. He had known patients to be beaten for making complaints. One day keeper Charles Acron required witness to bathe, and upon his refusing, knocked him down and kicked him so severely that he was still lame from the injuries then received. He had also been kicked and bruised when ho was in a strait-jack-et. George G. Shattuck, counsal [sic] for the asylum, cross-examined and bullyragged the witness, but failed to discredit his testimony, which was very clear. =====

Stealing In Ronmanla. Roumania is the country where stealing is ptactic^d by everybody, even by the highest classes. A Vienna paper re. lates tbe following occurrence which recently took place in a provincial city of Moldavia A merchant there had received several thousand ducats in gold for goods he had sold. He brought tne money to hia house. On the same evening two gentlemen, with piasks before their faces, came to him they "locked the dcor behind them rushed at him and threatening to shoot him with their revolvers, ordered him to give them the gold. The merchant, though greatly .surprised, had sufficient presence of mind to resolve upon the best course to be pursuod under these singular circumstances, and said to them, '-The money is in tbe old chest yonder. Here is the key open it, and help yourself to all you want to take from me." "While the two villains were doing BO, the merchant seized bis doublebarreled shot gun, which was standing in a corner. It was fortunately loaded he aimed and shot both of them. Without losing further lime, the merchant hastened out of the room, locked tho door, and ordered his servant, who was just ooming home, not to allow anybody to enter or leave the house, where upon he repaired in hot haste to the house of the Chief of Police, and, not finding him at home, to that of the Prefect, and as he was absent, too, to the house of the Police Commissioner. After informing the latter of what had occured, the merchant returned, with the Commissioner and some policemen, to his house, where the servant told him that, during his absence, no one had either entered or left the house. The ^oor was opened. The two masked thieves were lying before the open chest, without giving any signs of life. Their masks were removed, and the thieves were found to be the Chief of Police and the Prefect both of whom belonged to the Boyar pjass.

from Harper's Hon. Thomas H. Nelson, of Indiana, recently appointed Minister to Mexico, is a native of Mason county, Kentucky, and is about forty-five years of-age. He brother of Col. A. D. Nelson, aad of the late Gen. William Nelson, United States Army. He removed early ii life to Rockville, Indiana, and subsequently!to Terr# Haute, where he still resides and in that State hu for more than twenty years been prominent id politics, in law, and, since 1861, in the diplomatic service of the country. Prior to 1861 Mr. Nelson was principally known as an advocate and debater of great aidreas and power In his own and other Western

States, as well a* one of the founders, with Senator Morton and Abraham Lincoln, of the National Republican party. Upon tbe accession of the latter to the Presidency, however, he selected Mr. Nelson, always his friend and often his legal opponent, to represent this Government as its Minister to Chili. The .historical years—from 1861 to 1866, during- which Mr. Nelson occupied this position—were freighted both in tbe United States-'.and Chili with occurrences which at once gave scope to and demonstration of his activity, fidelity, and abilities. Though convulsed by internal rebellion, the Federal Government held claims of Urge amount against Chill These Mr. Nelson pressed with such clearness and force as to secure their immediate and full payment and at the t»me time to ably rep resented the issues in controversy in this Republic that Mr. Lincoln was constrained to declare that the Government arid people of Chili were the stanchest friends which tbe United State possessed

During Mr. Nelson's incumbency of this Mission, and while be was President of the Diplomatic Corps at Santiago, occurred tbe war between Spain and Chili, and to the American £mbassadq| more than to any other man does the latter country attribute the correct understanding of, and consequent sympathy with its own side of the struggle which contem porary governments displayed. His dis patches to the State Department are thoroughly American in tone, and are graphic in their delineation of the grave events and interests which came under bis attention. Upon his return home in 1866 Mr. Nelson at once threw himself into tbe memorable canvass in behalf bf the Fourteenth Amendment, and spoke from Kentucky to Kansas, to immense audiences of people. Unanimously selected to head tbe Republican electoral ticket last year in Indiana, Mr. Nelson, as is the custota of the country," canvassed and spoke in nearly every county in the State, until it was triumphantly carried for Grant and Colfax, himself bearing its electoral vote to the Capital. A few days ago the President nominated Mr. Nelson to succeed General Rosecraps in Mexico, and, although contemporary appointments were critically scanned, his own was at once reported upon and confirmed by the unanimous vote of both parties in -the Senate. ,ia A

Tbe new roed from Indianpolis te Terre Haute will probably be prosecuted with energy, although there is even yet a possibility that matters may be so adjusted as to avoid the necessity of making the new line. If the control of the Indianapolis & Cincinnati road has passed to the Pennsylvania Central, then jtbe construction of this new road to Terre Haute will devolve entirely upon the Bellofontaine road, with its New York Central connections and interests.

The Baltimore & Ohio road muBt have a good western connection from this 'city, which, on the supposition that the Indianapolis & Cincinnati road is in future to be largely controlled by a rival interest, can only bes£eured over the Junction road to Indianapolis, or by a third rail on the Ohio & Mississippi road to St. Louis.

Both of these connections are important to the business of the Baltimore & Ohio, west of this city.

Other interests could easily be enlisted in furnishing a narrow gauge on the Ohio & Mississippi road, as the Jeffersonvillo road, which is now pushing forward its connections by means of the bridge at tho falls of the Onio, the Evansville road road connecting at Yincennes, which Is also making valuable connections southward through Kentucky, and the Illinois Central to Cairo, making close eennecr tions southward by rail and water.

Tbe greatest element in the success of railway enterprises hereafter must consist in the facilities furnished for traflsportation without breaking bulk, and this can be accomplished only by uniforms ity of gauge. Other difficulties, even the crossing of large rivers without bridges, can be overcome but, break "of gauge necessitates break of bulk, and the advantages gravitate to rival -lines with no change of gauge.

The extension of the Evansville road from Rockviile to Chicago is in a state of forwardness sufficient to expect its completion at an early day.

The new line te Ft, Wftyne from this city is also progressing satifactorily. The Indianapolis and Yincennes road is in running order to Gosport and will probably be completed during the present season.

All these enterprises are important in the development of the resources of the State. Their completion will open up to the general markets valuable agricultural and especially extensive mineral regions, which will contribute very largely to the material prosperity of the State.—

Famine in RoMia.

A fearful famine is prevailiog in Baltic provinces. Previous to 1867, and for several years, there were poor har vests,and in 1867 they were complete failures in many places. Last year they were not any better, and o„ow famine stalks abroad. Seed corn cannot be secured for the crops of this year bread cynnot be had at any price, and pestelence had broken out among the people. An idea of the terrible state of affairs can be obtained from tbe following qaotations from a St. Petersburg letter: "Fields lying waste villages depopulated private Bouses turned into hospitals, fever? scorched skeletons tottering from the doors of over-crowded places of refuge children wandering over the country in gaunt and squalid nakedness crowds bf men, driven to desperation by long misery .and ripe for any outrage, roaming the streets night and day.

This statement is fully corroborated by official accounts transmitted to St. Petersburg from the afflicted regions. Between the 23d of May and the 18th of August last no rain fell in the scourged provinces, and the slight summer crops were fairly burned up. Bread can scarcely be obtained at even the most exorbitant price, and tbe debilitated condition of the people, and their herding together in the larger villages in the hope of procuring food and shelter, have engandered disease which is making fearful ravages. The

same Writer quoted above, says: "AH heart for work is. gone out of the peasants their oncefreshand hopeful show only the'- blankness of despair. Children are deserting their parents, parents their children some wander about the country, begging and plundering others flock into" the towns to SWMJI the aggregate of misery already thirl, and perish, in scores by famine and disease. Crowds have to be turned away for want of means to supply their need, and their imploring faces haunt me night and day."—Neu

Romance in Seal Life.

An Iowa paper of a recent date gives tho particulars of a romantic story which borders somewat on the marvellous. Tears ago a Pennsylvania farmer loved and married a charming young girl that lived near him. After the marriage time passed on, and soon the farmer contracted a taBte fair liquor, which frequently got the best of him. His wife remonstrated with him, which on one occassion ended by ^he husband stabbing her, with a butcher knife. He left precipitately, supposing be had killed her and hid-himself in tbe West, where in a few years he became a prosperous and wealthy merchant. Tbe wife in tbe meantime recovered, and after living alone for five years married again. Her husband however, died at tbe expiration of a year, and she also went to tne West. Then the incredible part of the story appeared. The patties met again after their long separation, and became intimately acquainted but neither rtcognized the other. An engagement is entered into, which results in marriage and, upon the wife disrobing in the evening, be notices tbe scar made by his hand many years ago, and suddenly recognizes her as his wife of former years. Here is a chance for story writers.

The present year promises to be one of great progress in the already extensive railway system in Indian^.. The first for-ty-two miles of the new road running northwest from Indianapolis is completed, thus furnishing a much needed outlet for the rich section of country embraced in the counties of Montgomery, Boone and Hendricks.

The remaining portion of this line west of Crawfordsville to Danville, Illinois, will be pushed forward rapidly this •summer,

Tbe extension north from Peru to Rochester furnishes additional facilities for the northern portion Q£ the State.— This line of road will also be carried forward this season.

The Agricultural College Tne Senate of our Legislature passed a bill, a few days ago, accepting tha propositi^ of Tippecanoe county and Mr. John Purdue, of Lafayette to donate $150,000 to the Agricultural College fund if the institution Bhould be located at the Battle Ground in that county, and called tho "Purdue Institute." Yostarday tha House by a nearly unanimous vote concurred and this long homeless school has at last found "a local habitation and a name." It might have done better without the latter but the pupils will suffer no obstruction in their studies from the emaciating effect of a rich man's namo on the dignity of a national benefaction.

We .have just been informed of the particulars of one of the most horrible murders that has occurred in this part of the country for a number of years.. Some motnhs ago David Thompson and his wife .Mary Thompson, alias Shields, wore indicted in our City Court for keeping a disorderly bouse, after which they went up on the line of the Louisville and Cincinnati Railroad, where Thompson worked for a short time. While there they fell into the company of James Scanlan, alias Dennis Kean, and a woman by the name of Catharine Wicks. After a short time they agreed tJ form a partnership for the purpose of trading.
