Phetrig] of Filkins for~ tics.therules.laid down, as for instance. in “Nevada, have béed sdbstantiafly carried out, and a fair valuation has been placed upon property, but in many of the¢9~ sounties preperty-has, not been assessed for one tenth its market value. f : The State.Board. has prepared a form of assessment which Assessors are dis rected to use, and then defines. the full cash valie,as’ follows: By “fall cash value” mentioned in. the thirteenth section of the act to provide revenue for the State, passed May 17th, 1861, is meant, not the price that miay be obtained at forced sale, but such o ptice a8 1s commonly pafd for such in the neighborhood, for whieh ft will sell at private sale, after” tion. In estimating the value of property, conformity to this. construction is expected. ~~ . The following good rules are laid down for the assessment of réal estate : Real] estate should be described with reasonable time given for its disposi~ . feference to United States surveys, . ly and accurately by metes and bounds. Th Gase of Spanish grants, the description in patents may be followed,excluding ‘by-definite description sach tracts as may have-beén sold and carved out of the same. Iyand sheuld be clasified onthe fol, Whieré practicable, naming its nature, use and adaptability—as arable, grazing, etc: Real estate, under our revenue system, is land only, or possession of land, and must be listed under the head of “Real Estate.” In to the use. to which jt is applied; wheth. er enclosed, improved or occupied; of the sizeof the tract is not to be consid= ered, . Its intrinsic worth simply as land is alone.to be estimated.: [ts fertility, adaptability for vertain purposes, and proximity to market, are the elements.of value. Impreved land has two elements of value; ‘First-~-The land to be estimated or valued the same as. contiguous or unimproved land of similar fertility and’ character; and gecond—the “improvements” thereon. ‘Imprdvements” consist-of houses, structures of all Kinds, fences, fruit and nut producing :trees, orchards, : vineyards, and whatever has been added to the land or augments its value, and must be adequately assessed and their value estimated distinct from the land, and should be definitely described in the Assessment Roll, The value of imprevements should be ‘stated in the column under that. head; and not be blended with the valuation of the land. The practice has obtained in some counties of assessing all land ata uniferm rate.’ This must be abandoned; each tract’ should be assessed at its own value. . All property, real and personal; should be subjected to personal inspection where practicable. It is not enough to take the ramor or opinion of nuighbors, or to copy previous rolls, The Beard also require that possessory titles must be assessed ag other property, and that land purchased from the State, where a part of the purchase monby is unrepresented, the land must be taxed for the entire value. It is als 80 suggested that every variety o! stock must be valued according to the market value, and not at so much per head indiscriminately. In regard to the exemption of property, the Board say: The revenue laws and the decisJons of the courts do not sanction or contemplate the exemption from taxa. tion of any class or species of property. You will, therefore suffer no. property, however small in value, to escape assessment, Wool, cheese, butter, hay, jewelry, watches, root. crops, poultry, furniture, arms, libraries, bee hives and Tiquots, often go umasesessed, Olive trees vines, heretofore exempted by statute, -the claim:to; or possession; or -right of . __ assessing land no regard is to be paid . works of. like chiracter: railroad, — passing. t ‘counties, is estimate fuartn ee ues by the “Assessérs,-and the sate may be said of toll roads. Some hold that the rolling stock, improvements, and the iron and ties are alone subject to assessment, while in other counties it is held the road bed is also taxable, and hence the difference in value, In some of the States the rates for railroad taxation are fixed by State Boards at so much per mile, but it is a matter where there isso much diversityof opinfon and practice, and where litigation is constantly going on, to settle questions. growing out uf the disputes in regard te the valuation of railroad prope erty for the purposes of assessment, the State Board ot Equalization in California, ‘does not even mention the matter in its circtilar of recornmendations to Assessors. New Skates, = I Yesterday a pair ot skates, of a new pattern arrived in town, and a large crowd of “skate sharps” collected to examine them. Of course many improve. ments were suggested by inventive ge~ niuses, and our local who was around caught some of the comments. One have a bumper on them ;” when a wag said that article could easily be got by putting the skates on. Another “did not.go a cent.oy the corkscrew.movement.”. Then “a two foot wheel” was suggested, and-an enthusiastic admirer “was sorry hé had not seen them before.” An. entliusiasist. who has been on the briny deep, suggested “side suggested “rifflesto-keep them steady . under foot.” Many” other suggestions were made, and we have no doubt the . tion of adozen new. models for skates. . Grass Valley Items, , We copy the following from the Grass Valley Union of yesterday. Tuesday night our triend L. Zacharias retired to his bed feeling unwell, He was chilled through and was threatened with a spell of sickness, A warm brick to the feet would mitigate the chill, and accordingly a warm brick was prepared. The brick was too warm, for while Zach snored the brick set fire to his bed. The bed was badly damaged and Zach. was somewhat burned. No alarm was sounded as Zach, with a pitcher of water, put tlie fire out and then went to bed again. Everybody,except the members of the superintending committee of the late Grass Valley lottery, seems to be in luck. We find the following in a Sacramento paper: Mrs, Judge McKune and’ Mrs. Judge McFarland, of Sacramento, jointly invested in a ticket in the Grass Valley lottery, and that venturesome act was rewarded by a prize of $150. Wm. Hamilton of the Telegraph Stage Company,isa lucky man, He is known to be the bald headest and the biggest hearted man in the country. Hamilton won over three hundred dollars in the late lottery. He held tickets to the number which cost him about $660. He is now engaged in figuring up his profits.

(2 O'Donovan Rossa, the Irish exila, is under engagement to deliver 24 states, however, that before the death: of Superintendent Jourdan, that efficer received information which convinced him Forrester was the murderer, and he sent detectives to various points in the United States to find and arrest him. Since Superintendent Jourdan’s death these efforts have been continued :. by his successor, but thus.far without success. Superintendent Kelso complains of ‘want of cooperation on the art of certain detectives in other cities in his efforts, and those of his officers being: often: thwarted. :by. men who éles in ‘the way of! those havidg the object of bringing the murderer to justice. Although the Superintendent declines to ive the source trom. which the information is derived that fastens tain that it was obtained from George Ellis, the burglar now serving eut a term in Sing Sing for burglary. on January 27, 1870, when the office of S. & M. Migel, at 23 East Twenty-fifth streét, wag robbed of diamonds valued at several thousand dollars. Nathan was murdered two months after the sentence of Ellis. Not long \after the murcer, Ellis informed’ one of the officers of the prisoa that he knew who the assassin was, Superintendent. Jourdan quietly procured a writ of habeas corpus from Judge Cardoza and brought Ellis from prison to the Franklin street Police Station, Ellis confessed that he and Forrester had planned the robbery of Nathan’s house, and he believed that Forrester had carried the plan into effect. They did not suppose that Nathan or his sons were in the house, as it was known that the Nathans. were passing the Summer at their country -residence at Morristown, N. J. The thief was discovered by Nathan while operating on a safe in a room adjoining one in which he slopt, and Nathaw was mutdered by Forrester with the iron dey which has been so often described, and which is alleged to have been stolen from the wine cellar of P, E. Church, in Fitth Avenue, which was entered some time prgeione by purglars. These are believed to be the facts‘on which Superintendent’ eolpel Justice Dowling, and Judge Cadoza. base their belief that Forgester is the assassin, [no addition, ever since the murder he has avoided all his old’ coms panions, and ‘has aot been seen in many his'well known haunts im this and other cities, It is more than probable that -he is in 80me out of the way in the far West, of in some coun~ ‘ty town working 88 a Jaborer or at a trade, endeavoring by thi vert suspicion. : a one tried'in an interior county of Georgia, whether to senten i upon by the proud stripling of Eton to describe himself. “I am,” said Horn should lend aid instead of placing obsta-. guspisien on Forrester, it. is almost cer. for a violation of law: “The verdict of the jury was: “We find the defendant oad Knott guilty.” The P ang was at loss ce tt or not.
