We were shown yesterday an old German medal which was made in 1698. It was evidently intended as . a mar riage memento, for on one side is the picture of a Airiest in "the ' acf S of per forming the marriage ceremony between a male and female. Ott the upper mar gin is the sentence "Quos dewconyunxit homo non separet, ana nnaerneatn is conglomeration of German words which may be the moral law, for aught we know. On the reverse side is the figure of a female holding in one hand banner, and the other, a burning heart, apparently standing on a globe, which is propelled by a pair of wings. On the margin, on this side, is a regu- ar general muster' of jaw breaking German, which is also beyond our com prehension. It is in a very good state of preservation to be one hundred and seventy seven years old. Mecklenburg Historical Society. v At a meeting in the Court House last night, Dr. Johnston B.

In the first i place, it is suggested, that this BwCrd has teen hampered by the existence of an : old floating debt, . .for th ereatioa of hich they an la no wise responsible, btit whitli has been handed down to (hemi from pre ceding Boards. . This old debt, embracing Tarious forms of obligations, has been yery properly - made receivabhv in; pay ment of City taxes, and parties have availed them selves of this provision to such an extent, that a large proportion of the Collector's re ceipts, daring ths present term, .has eonsii' ted of old bills and claims against the city. And thus while the amount of actual cash collected has been eomparitively small, the old debt has been tosome extent reduced by the means referred Wt?Kx,:fX In addition to the ordinary general tax of of one per cent," on 'property (which has been the rata for several years past) a special tax of I of one per cent, was levied, this year, in pursuance of the City Charter, to pay the interest on the bonded debt and past due bonds. Thus the aggregate amount of the taxes levied this year is greater than in any previous year.' , But notwithstanding the amount levied, the whose sum collect ed, so fef, is milch smallel than for several years past. -The Whole amount levied on property and polls being upwards pf $32,000, and the sunt total of collections, on that ac count, is very little fa excess $14,000, a large portion of which has been expended in the payment of debts contracted by former Boards. ' - v ' ' Various causes have Intervened to prevent delay of the full collection of these taxes. notably among which are the following, viz : This Board in the effort and desire to levy a tax which should be equal and just in its bearing upon all persons, embraced in their tax bill certain classes of property, which had not heretofore been taxed by the city, such as bank stocks, .bonds and ether seccurities. Parties owning this species of property resisted the collection ofthe tax on it,denying the right ofthe city to tax them as the amount involved was very large, and the question as to the power of the city in the premises very important, resort was had to tbe courts to determine it. A friendly suit was the" consequence, and a case agreed between the city and the parties concerned is to be presented to the Supreme Court in June for final adjudication. The amount of taxes due on all accounts for the current year, and remaining unpaid is between $18,000 and $20,000, a large pro portion of which amount is involved in the adjudication referred 4o.
