HoRsEs. Col. Needham, the Secretary o
the Vermont State Agricultural Society, in hiS
annual message says:
The number of horses in Vernon, before ;he
breaking out of the rebellion was about titty.five
thousand, since which time it is calculated that
nearly ten thousand have been carried from
the State for army purposes. This immense
levy for horses has been made through the en-.
tire country When it is considered that com.
raratvely few Of these horses will find ,heir
way back that the number that will die Of dis
ease or become unfit for service is twenty time,
as great as it would be were th,y used in any
other kind of business; that to meet this grea
want Of the Government n large portion of the
business horses in our large cities wh,h hnv,
been thrown out of srrvice hy general rrostra
ton, have been brought up it readily arpear'
that, even during the war, horses nut advance
in price and at It's close, when business shul
revive and trade resume its former chnnncIs
the demand for good horses mus, exceed the

TAXING NEWSPAPERS The Washington cor

respondent Of the Boston journal says: -
"How to tax newspapers' is now a SUBJECT
Of anxious inquiry among the politicians in
Congress. some of whom call themselves pro
gressive statesmen, ard az such will next fall
solicit reelection. The very men who prute
about the achievements Of science, the benefits
OF education, and the enlightenment of the age
really appear anxious to tax the news, apers,
which are the prominent medium for CONVEYING
intelligence in this as in all other civilized
countries. Some Of them have IN their States
made grea' to.do about teaching everybody
to read yet they would now tax what every
body reads the most. A tax Oh u newspaper
is virtually tax on Knowledge, aud is thus a
tax on TRUTH tax on education, a tax on pub
lie opinion, tax on good government a tax Oh
the progress Of human events and the working
OF human institutions. The only excuse for the
Solons who are striving 10 levy this tax, is that
the newspapers have so much to say abou. them
and their co-'egisIaiors, that TO them it appears
they have become "luxuries.'

A Domestic Sketch.

One market day we saw wagon loaded with
wheat coming into town--nothing strange III
that certainly. And man driving the team
and n woman pctchcd on the load beside, and
Il child throned in the wcman's lap--nothing
strange in that either. And it required no
particular shrewdness to determine that .ae wo-
man was the property-personal of course
of the man, and that the black.oytd, round
faced child was the property of both Of them
So much we saw--so much We supposed every
body saw, who looked. 1t is y fair inference
to suppose that the wife came in to help her
husband trade ou." a portion OF the proceeds

and so many sunshines and rains. The pair
were somewhere this side "A fine poiut of ob-
servation, isn't it ?-ths side Of forty, and it is
prcsumptive, if blessed like their neghhors,
they left two or three children at home to
keep house, while they came to town--perhaFs
two girls and boy, or, as it is immatcrial to
US, two boys aud one girl.
Well, we followed the pair, in aul through
until the wheat was sold. the money paid, aud
then for the trade. The baby wa4 lifted from
