Joseph Mdrye, an Italian, living on 23d st. :,
was arraiSned before the Recorder, yes terday
charged with feloniously inficting a gun shot
wound on the arm of Georgiana Scott, free
negress, few weeks since. 1t appeared that
the load, consisting of a ten penny nail, went
through Seotts house and entered her arm,
from which 1t was extrac ted by Dr. Waring
The defendant had been in the habit of dis
charging firearms on his premises, and the
accident above related was one Of the resul Is
of that reprehensible practice. There was an
entire absence of felonious intent-though
when defendant was informed of the damage
done, he left the city, and was not apprehend-
ed till Tuesday, on his return The wounded
person made lucky escape in getting ascot
free, y as she had an infantile pieca ninny in
her arms when the missile struck her person
She has not yet entirely recovered The de-
fendant was required to furnish 800 security
TO be OF good behavior. He declared himself
minus friends and acquaintance, and the
usual result of that unfortunate state of cir
cumstances Immediately ensued. He went

The Estimate ofthe Finance Comm ittee of the
Ity Council of taxes proposed for the present
year, returned at the recent meeting of that
body, has caused the tax paying port ton of
the community seriously to consider their po-
sltlon as members of the body polite For
several years past the Council, SO far rs we
are advised has in no instance refused the
application of any of the city employees for
an increase OF salary when asked for, and that
class, as employees, now, we believe, receive
Il much greater rate of compensation, in a ma
Jority of ins tances, than they could obtain i'll
any other employment, private or otherwise.
or course there are exceptions. Besides this
the Council, during the time referred 10, has
been prompt to vote expenditures asked for
That body will at its next meeting, no doubt,
arrange the tax list, and it is to be hoped that
unless an imperative necessity shall call for it,
city, consolidates rather than create new
Offices, and pursues 4 rigid system o. economy
we need not fear a perceptible increase of taxes
or the present, or heavy municipal debt loon
ing up us a bug bear in the future The re-
Gently returned estimate provides for an in
crease OF taxation equal, WE believe to 20 per
cent at the present time persons can save 10
per cent. OF the amount of taxes assessed BY
prompt payment. Now, If the amount for
speedy payment be reduced to per cent the
present TAX list need not be more than IL or Il
cents higher than that of last year. If this
course Is pursued, in Il few months no doubt
city bonds Will be al par, and then all will be
well. Excessive taxation is to be avoided
because 1t depresses the energies of our people

Prepare for Spring.

1t IL an old saying that in peace we should
De prepared for war. Farmers have morr
leisure in the winter season than at other
times. In stormy days they can put their
stables in complete order. And they can
repair all their tools under u shelter. lf
they have no workshop, they can work in
che woodshed. And Il they are destitute OF
such q convenience, as many farmers are,
they can make Use OF the barn hoOr, Tor now
the husks and hay are fed out from this de
partneut. Prepare all the tools and lay
them where they can be found in the spring.
The plough Is one Of the most important inl-
plemcuts on the farm. The old wooden
ploughs have yielded 70 those Of east-iron.
But even these must be repaired, and since
the smith lives mile OF, and he can only
furnish auts and screws, II will require too
much time. after spring commences, 10 make
such a journey iorrcpairs.
The scythes should all hang where they
will not batter one another. The bog hoes
should be ground and hung up, those Tor
the meadow b,ins ground Us sharp as
an axe, the Others should be more blunt, 10
work ON rocky highlands. The spades and
shovels should not lie or stand On the ground
after they have been wiped clean, for rust
not only eats the edges, hut il makes the
business Of shoyelling much more laborious.
Hay rakes may now be repaired. Care
less workmeu make much waste in using
rake-, forks, &c The tines Of forks are now
made small and tapering in order to save la
bor, and there is such difference between
the use Of slender and stout tines for hay
and for manure that farmers can we'll afford
to change oG their old Cor improved articles.
Yet /, i no easy matter TO teach men how
to use mics tools. They often break iron
bars in digging rocks for want OF skill in
using them, and dung io:ks are used to dig
into the toughest soils. The owpcr there
fore, must see 10 these tools, Or they will not
be likely to last long.
Prepare all farm tools in season, and let
none scccde iOr want Of attention or u look.
If you lind rogue carrying away your
tools without leave, ON the ground that you
were always indulgent To borrowers and
trc~pas~ers, bring him up TO justice al
once, and let him know that thieves must b.
taken up Immediately As an example to all.
We hear Of ruler who lost many prov
inces in consequence Of not looking out ioi
rebellion in due season.
