real property will not realize a sufficient

amount te meet the req viremenis o° the Council, aud a tax on personal property is

proposed. Now, we think a tax on per-

The care and sale of this stuc!: necessarily gives him a good deal of labor and anxiety ; and, after all, he may threagh the failure of his debtors, or some other cause, tind himself at the en ef the year, poorer by $500 than he he was before he invested his money.

Although great swimmers whe venture teo much are frequently drowned, yet it is certain that many persons have saved their lives by being able te swim even for a short
