Starratt’s Vegetable and meat
Chopper.—We have seen oue of these

every family needs. By simply turning
a crank the house wife can chop the meat

very little time and less labor. There
are four sizes, costing $5, §B, §l2 and
§4O respectively—the largest being for
the use of butchers, or hotels whose prin
cipal diet is hash. G. M. Lowell of
River Falls, is the agent for Wisconsin.
Ho has also bought the soio right of
Pierce and St. Croix Counties and is now
canvassing. 37-2 w.
Rev Dr. Stevens, who is writing
letter from Europe to the Methodist,
gives this account of the beer-drinkers of
Germany :
“ The people are universally and pas
sionately fond of flowers, and almost
every house is decorated with them at its
windows or in little garden pla’s. Ev
ery village and hamlet has its ♦ bier-gar
ten,’ or similar resort, where these poor
‘ boors,’ with their wives and children,
repose and regale themselves, especially
on these festive days; not with the drun
ken clamors of similar places in Eng
land or America, but with social con
verse and decorous gaycty—loving good
music and keeping good hours. Their
beer, tobacco, and Sabbath notions may
be condemned by the American specta
tor; but he can’t help rejoicing with
i them in their rest and cheerfulness, anil
| bidding them God-speed in their almost
solitary hope of refuge and deliverance
in America.”

List of Personal Property—River
Falls.
Many people, just now, are making
curious and significant inquiries about
their taxes —how they come, and why
they are so. We propose to give a few
items, in the shape of the personal prop
erty assessinon ts of individuals in this
town, and some facts pertaining to the
amount on the dollar in different school
districts, and leave those concerned to
compare notes and figures at their leis
ure. It is a matter in which every tax
payer in town is directly interested.
The following is the equalized valua
tion of personal property:

The amount on the dollar for the state,
county, county school and town taxes
combined, is nine and three tenths mills;
the Superintendents salary is three tenths
of mill, and the amount varies from sev
en and a half mills to eighteen mills on
a dollar in the different school districts.
No. G is the lowest, and Nos. 3 and
8 are the highest The argument,
so called, has been very gravely urgod,
that we should not appraise our property
at its fair selling value for the reason that
other towns would not, and, in conse
quence, we should share an unjust bur
den of county and state taxes. That is,
we should perjure ourselves because our
neighbors were going to do so. And a
general strife has been kept up, not only
through the county, but through the en
tire state. The consequence has been
that a few individuals who have been dis
posed to give a tolerably correct statement
of their property, have been most unmer
cifully fleeced by unjust taxation, ami
the latter evil will continue just so long
and just so often as the former is repeat
ed. A just and fair exhibition and valu
ation of property io the only equitable
basis of taxation, and if we suffer a little
at first by setting a commendable exam
ple, kt us suffer it for once, nt least, and
abide the consequences.
There are, doubtless, discrepancies and
disparities in the foregoing list, but a
rigid examination and comparison of it
will greatly aid the assessors, and equal
ing boards hereafter. And, by the way,
our equalizing boards generally consider
it to be their duty to hear and determine
grievances only, and seldom take into
consideration tbo value of rnv property
to which their attention is not particular
ly called. Think of these things, friends.
It is just as much a part of your business
to know that your neighbor’s property is
properly valued, and that all of it is
brought forward, as it is to know that
your own is, and so long as you neglect
i this part of your duty you must not
i grumble if you pay nn unjust proportion
of the taxes,
Sentence of Drath against Christ,
I
The following is a copy of the most
memorable judicial sentence which has
ever been pronounced in the annals of
the world namely, that of death against
the Savior—with the remarks which the
Journal le Troit has collected, and the
knowledge of which must be highlv in
teresting to every Christian. Until re
cently, we nro not awnre th it it has ever
been published. It is word fur word as
follows.
Sentence pronounced by Pontius Pi
late, Intondent of the Lower Province
of Galilee, that Jesus of Nazareth shall
suffer death by the cross.
In the seventeenth year of the reign
of the Emperor Tiberius, and on the
24th day of tho month of March, in the
most holy city of Jerusalem, during the
pontificate of Annas and Caiphns.
Pontius Pilate, Intendent of the Prov
ince of Lower Galilee, sitting to judg
ment in the presidential seat of the
Prsetor, sentences Jesus of Nazareth to
I death on a cross between robbers, as the
numerous and notorious testimonials of
the people prove!
1. Jesus is a misleader.
2. He has excited the people to sedi
tion .
3. Ho is an enemy to the laws.
4. He calls himself the Son of God.
5. He calls himself falsely the King
of Israel.
G. He went into tho temple followed
by a multitude carrying palms in their
hands.
Orders from the first centurion, Quir
rillis Cornelius, to bring him to the palaeo
of execution.
Forbids all persons, rich or poor, to
prevent the execution of Jesus.
The witnesses who have signed the ex
ecution of Jesus are:
1. Daniel Roband Pharisoo.
2. John Zornbabel.
3. Raphcl Robaui,
4. Carpet.
This sentence is engraved on a plate
of brass in the Hebrew language, and
on its sides are the following words:
“A similar plate has bccu sent to each
tribe.”
It was discovered in the year 1820, in
the kingdom of Naples, by a search
made for Roman antiquities, and remain
ed there until it was found by the com
missioner of mt» in the French army in
Italy. Up to the time of the campaign
in Italy it was preserved in thosacrisity of
tho Carthusians, near Naples, where it
was kept in a box of ebony. Since then
tLe relic has been in the chapel of Cas
eria. The Carthusians obtained, by
their petitions, permission to keep the
plate, which was an acknowledgement of
the sacrifices which they made for the
French army. The French translation
was made literally by the members of
the commission of arts. Denon had n
sac simile of tho plate engraved, and it
was bought by Lord Howard, on the sale
of his cabinet, for £2,800. There
seems to be no historical doubts as to the
authenticity of this. The reasons of the
sentence correspond exactly with those in
tho Gospel.
