The following tax was laid by the Magistrates
for the present year: Twenty cents on every
$1O0 worth of real estate and sixty cents, on
every poll, for County purposes; and five cents
on every 500 worth of real estate, and five cents
on the poll, for Common Schools. We learn that
the tax raised last year for County purposes, a.
mounted to Ss,243 rs; but it will fall below this,
it is thought, the present year-perhaps one thou
sand dollars . -s.. .....-..s, ..t, l...... - F..


We learn also that Fishdam and NewLight |
Bridges over the Neuse, which were destroyed by |
he late freshet, were ordered to be rebuilt, and
hat Commissioners were appointed to let them
3ut to the lowest bidder. These Bridges, which
ire likely to cost the County a round sum of
money, were broken, as we understand, by RATS
IF timber improperly thrown into the River and
We hope more caution will be observed hereafter
n this respect. r.'J s. ..r,
