The treasurer says that he has not the means | of giving the exact figures on this point, but he estimates that already more than 2,200 have paid the tax, which is not moro than twenty short of the number of suloons that were in operation last yoar, when there was no tax. The amount of tax received to date is $402,000 in Ham- ilton county. The portion due the coun- ty outside of Cincinnati has already been sufliciont to obviate the necessity of rais- {ing a levy for the county poor house | fund. The number who have paid $200 | for selling beer and spirits is about 1,800, which leaves a littlo more than 400 selling beer only and paying £100, Many nre still coming to the treasurer daily and paying taxes for the fractions of the yoar. This indicates oither that now sa loons are starting or that old ones that | have stopped are starting up again, e FARAPH NOTES, Wm, Shingladecker, of Millvale, Pa., eloped with his son's wifo, taking with hin $400 of wifo's monoy, A fow woeks igo ho sold Bty livory tock, wnd roprosented that b wrranged for the purchase of a livory stable and stock at Punxsutawney, for which ho ob- nod the $400 from his wife, Ho loft July {4th.
