Soon a8 he'd entered the ealoon, Swift as the lightuing's lash, The treacherous hackman clomb the box And gave his steeds the lach, And fleetly sped he np the street, As1f the de'il pursued, . Nor balted 1ill he'd left behind The danserous newhborhood; Then he got out and lit a match, . And careful feit the straw: There's no necessity to add That nothing there he saw.

A varty of about twenty gentlemen, chiefly citizens of Freuch antccedenis, gathered last eveniug around the sociul board at Burghofter’s, under the Sherman House. The guest of the oceasion was Prof. Marc Delafontaine, formerly of the Geneva University in Switzerland. and for several years past a member of our High- Schoul Faculty. The party assembled for the purpose of wiving 8 supperio his honor, in rec- ognition of his recent brilliant difcoverics in the field of chemycal avalysis. furing the past few wonths_his labors have been rewarded by the uncarthing of two elements, new to ihe world of Science, in addition to tus brevious discovery of ‘Terbieum, raisiug the npumber pow koown to about sixty-six. ile has named_ his “enfans terribles,” Philipinm and Decipium; the first in honor of his Swiss friend and former preceptor, Prof. Philip de Plantamour, aud the second asare- minder of the decentive phenomena presented by the material operated upon in his manipula~ tions. His merit as the discoverer of these ele- mets was recently recozmzed by the Freoch Academy of Sciences. on Which ovtasion Dumas paid a wlowing tribute to bis menius; and his Alma Mater st Geneva last _month gracefully conferred on bim the title of Doctor of Philoso- phy and Science as a distinction which houored it in the bestowal. Of course he has reccived many conzratulations of a local character, amonz which we uote 3 handsomely-worded letter from the President of our Board of Edu- cation—the Hon. W. H. Wells. Tie gathering last evening was a surprise to the Professor, and he was not alittle embarrassed by the en- thusfastic compliments of his nunserous friends, most of whom made highly “congratulatory specches on the occasion. Two men calling themsglwes respectively Reynolds aud Pomeroy bave; within te last few Qays, been making an extenued cireuit among the taxpayers of the South,Town, and, repre- senting themselves as attoracys, have claimed 1o be able for a proportiondtely small amount of money to obtain a reduttion of 33 per cent upon tle taxes on personal property. “They have also claimed thag“there was in process of formation 8 combination; to fight the tax, and Wat the payment of $Fdown and 10 per cent of the amount saved ‘would entitle the yer of the, iopey to their services as the attorneys. magacing the affair.- Some people, & rood m:m{,’h“e ‘allowed - their desire 1o beat the Tax-Colldetor to_get ~the better of their judement siid patriotism, and have seadi- 1v subscribed to” the ‘scheme. It may be that Revnolds and Pomeroy are_£ood and reputable attorneys, but their names do not appear among those of attorneys who are tolerated iv the courts of this city. And it is possible that they are guaranteeing in_good fuitlh to ::::ym n';e; ction of the tax on personal property. Bu au s;xould be borpe in mind by the South Town taxpayers that the best autbori- ties say that therc s bo causc for, wor chanee of, the making of a reduction, because the personal property was assessed at & faic cash valuation and all the feval requirements fu the making of the assess- ment and the exceution of the warrant lhave been complied with. As before said, there can, in the opinions of the best informed.’ be no re- duction mor alteration, and until Messrs. Revnolds and Pomeroy show indubitable proofs that they are not frauds aud are able to do exactly what they claim to_be sble to do, the Sonth Town taxpayer will be on the sate side by giving them 2 Wwide berth.
