Artemus says " As for the Wards
they air known all the world over, and
every big city in this blessed Union has it
little divisions named after them.-In
New York and Boston there is the first
Ward and the second Ward, and so on to
the one hundreth Ward, and in Paris
and London and everywhere, we are hon
ored with the same remembrances. i
guess that's some honor. And even down
South, it's more than probable they have

SAD AooIDENr.-A little girl about
nine years of age, named Lizzie Bull,
daughter of Jacob Bull, who lives on
Paint street, south Of Schlegls tavern,
met her death last Wednesday evening IN
the following manner She was atten-
ding school at the old Academy building,
and in common with other children was
in the habit of sliding down the hand
rail by the side Of the stairs. On the
evening above, named, in attempting to
slide down, she fell over backwards to the
floor beneath, distance of ten or twelve
feet, and was so badly injured that she
died In about three or four hours.
Mr.. Strader, the teacher, had been for
some time attempting to break up this
dangerous practice, and after the occur
renee of this sad accident drove nails into
the railing, leaving the heads projecting
about half an inch-so as to render sli-
ding impossible hereafter ChitHcothe

TIE INCOME TAX.

It should be remembered by tax payers
that the first day Of May is the time fixed
by the Internal ReYeue law for the re-
t1rn Of schedules of incomes to the As
sistant A assessors. The amended law Of
March 8, 1865, is still In force, and it Is
officially announced that the assessment
Of this year will be made in accordance
with its provisions, regardless Of any ac-
ton of Congress on the new tax bill just
reported to the House. The Senate re-
fused to concur in the House resolution
providing for an extension of time for two
months, in order to permit the new law to
20 into operation.
The Assessor is under no legal obHga-
ton to send blank forms he may do so
as an act Of courtesy but it is the busi-
ness of taxpayers to find his Office obtain
the blanks, fill them up and return them.
In case Of neglect or refusal, the Asses
sors are empowered to make the return
and to add a penalty of twenty-five per
cent, or, in case of fraud, to add one hun
dred per cent. to the amount ascertained
to be due.
The duties on incomes are payable
within sixty days after the return of the
schedule to the assessOr-that is, on or
before the Both day of June. The in
come must be reckOned for the year end
ing December 81, 1865, and the tax is 5
per cent. on all sums between $500 and
S. 600, and 10 per cent, on the excess
over $1,000 The deductions permitted
are
comes.
Second. All National, State, county
and municipal taxes paid within the year
(including the income tax paid last sum
mer.)
Third. The amount paid for rent, or the
rental value Of any homestead occupied
by the taxpayers or his family, In his
own right or in the right of his wife.
Fourth. The amount paid for usual or
ordinary repairs, taking the average of
the preceding five years
These are all deductions that can be
made.
The income tax is lien upon property
if not paid within the time fixed by law,
and the collectors are invested with full
powers to take legal proceedings for dis
traint and collection. The proper OBJ
servance Of the time and manner Of pay
ment will therefore save the taxpayer much
trouble.

The London Examiner remarks that
" Sir Morton Peto found, when he began
to write a paper on America for the Sta

enough to fill a volume. His book is an
account not of political opinion, but Of
national resources, very statistical, and
we'll calculated to bring England closer to
America in good acquaintanceship and
cordiality of feeling"

comedies to her, and as this majority may
at one timo and another conclude TO take
f,rxt one and then another Of her rights
away. and as they and not she are the
Judges, why II follows inevitably that she
has no rights at all.
Professor BLEDsoE has performed his
part Of the work we'll (but his printers have
produced as poor specimen Of letter-press
as We ever saw from a respectable house).
He quotes the writings Of the fathers Of the
Republic to prove his propositions, and es-
tablishes them immovably. He meets and
answers successfully every argument
against the right Of secession. He proves
that the Constitution was an ordinary COM
pact to which the States acceded, and
shows the absurdities flowing from con-
trary doctrine. He demonstrates that the
people Of America did not form one nation
originally, as they unquestionably do now,
since the war has altered our form Of 60
vernment.
By the way, Professor BLEDsoE gives
Mr.. LINCOLN credit for theory which Pa
TRICK HENRY originally propounded-
namely, that the States stand In the same
relation to the Federal Government in
which the counties stand to the State. Not
that Mr.. HENRY desired such to be tho
case but as he had opposed the ratifica-
ton of the Constitution with all his elo-
quence and ability, and had predicted all
the fatal results which have followed its
adoption, (his speeches read now like q
prophets utterances,) he doubtless used
this strong illustration to show his idea OF
the monstrous government which had been
put upon the people Of Virginia.
As VIC have said, Professor BLEDsoE's is
a book to be kept for our children. 1t has
no value so far as it can affect our present
political status. 1t is invaluable as an in
structor of tho rising generation, who
must be taught that the right of secession
existed up to the year 1861.
