Special Income Tax.

Much inquiry and speculation is aacat
in regard to the authority and objects of
the Special Acome Tar, which ing ord
Scott" has been collecting through the
County, during the past week.
The law authorizing the tax was approx
ed by Lincoln, July a, 1864, and was
retrospective IN its characteristic first tax
being for TIE year ending Dace ulbcr 81
1863. A supplement. to the con,crlption
act was passed at the same time and az,
proved the third section Of which We, as
follows;
"Sec. .. That i shall DO lawful for the
executives of any of the States 10 send re
cruiting agents into any of the States de-
elared TO be in rebellion, except the States
oil Arkansas, Tennessee, aud Louisiana, to
recruit volunteers under any call under
the provisions OF this act, who shall be
credited to the State, and TO the respective
subdivisions thereof, which may procure
their enlistment
Under that section, in the call for 500,.
900, we have seen the abolition state OF
Massachusetts fill her quota mainly, with
'groes and we in Pennsylvania, who
filled ours with white men at heavy cost TO
ourselves, assist, in tbi, Especial Income

achusetts. Thus filling the quota for two
States. 1t may be answered to this, that
we here ought not 10 complain; because
We tried 10 fill our quota in the same way
by sending an Agent" away down to Ten
nessee !" and i! might be added, that we
would have succeeded too, but for the n
sufferable stupidity Of those who made the
selection.
However our object was simply 10 give
the much sought.for Information, as to the
how and the why and the wherefore of The

PETER KAsE Of Benton township, saith
/ attended the meeting ot the Ash
School House, sometime in March 1868,
when HadIey was there. He made o
rpeech and then went away. In fact his
discourse was rather sermon than a
speech, and was about slavery. There
was nothing in his remarks, about resist
ing the laws. There were two meetings
held at my house afterwards. The last
one was in May 1868. We were sworn
10 support the Constitution of the United
States and of the State OF Pennsylvania
and to submit to the laws. There was no
wristen Constitution. The association was
called Democratic Club. l was present
during the whole of both meetings at my
house. There was nothing said or done
at those meetings about resisting the con-
scription. There had then been no y. s
draft. William Appleman was at
meeting and took part in it. He presided
and l was member. 1t was political
club, and the objec. was to get members,
The Douglas speech was read one night
between the two regular meetings, and
when no members were sworn in, Nathan
j. Hess was there at the last meeting when
Ithink Robson Ikeler presided. There
was nothing illegal in those meetings, as
far as know. None have been held
since the time above mentioned.

NARROWING.

Great improvement has been made with
in q few years among good farmers in pre-
pairing the ground for a crop. The
thorough mixing up the soil and its care
full pulverization, are o fgreat Importance.
Among the instruments introduced is
that Of the OK c~ultivator. On green sward
plOughed land no better instrument has
been devised. 1t is far better than any
harrow in levelling down the inequalities
and in rightly stirring up the surface
soil. Let this be followed by the harrow
and the ground is in excellent condition
for a crop, other things being equal
Scarcely too much narrowing can be
practieed on groundsowed to grain, or de-
voted to the cultivation of corn and pota-
toes. An extra narrowing often pays well.
providing the ground be sufficiently dry.
In speaking of the OK ~cultivator we have
found that the common horse cultivator
was far better than a harrow on green
sward. Harrow once lengthwise the pieces
and then crosswise with the c~ultivator.
and it prepares the ground finely for the
last narrowing and for ~furrowing, We
recommend the OK cu~ltivator to all such
as have not yet purchased one.-Maine
