FORD, Town Committee. *** Our masonic government is about taxing all things "moveable and immoveable" belonging to the good people of this state, including private accounts, turnpike stock that has never yielded a cent, &c.--They have had the pleasure of squandering thousands, let them have the responsibility of replenshing the empty coffers of the state. But one thing, gentleman--no assessor shall ever have at our private accounts.--Pa. paper. *** Mrs. HALE, in a late number of the Ladies' Magazine, complains because American women will not make their own fashions, and employ native milliners and mantua makers. 'At present,' says she, 'American ladies, as regards the fashion of their attire, rarely think more than did the ape when he put a red cap on his head because he saw such an one worn by the sailor.' *** submitted by L.C.
