Plucky Woman.
--Mrs. Dr. Lydia Sayer Hasbrouck, of Orange county, N. Y., who insists that a woman should not be taxed unless she is allowed to vote, has thought to shame the collector out of his demand by offering to work out her road-tax. The doctress, having somewhat passed the bloom of youth, made no impression upon the official, and therefore, instead of paying under protest, as some of her sisters do, she went upon the road and drove a cart.
