Important 10 Farmers.

The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
has given the following instructions to As
SCISSORS relative to the income tax, which
our farmers will read carefully:
First-Thc farmers profits from the sales
OF live stock are to be found by deducting
from the gross receipts for animals sold, the
purchase money paid for the same.
Second-No deduction can be made bv
the farmers for the valve of service rendered
by his minor children, whether he actually
pays for such service or not. If his adult
children work for him and receive compen-
sation for their labor, they are to be regard.
ed as other hired la5orers in determining
his income.
Third--Money paid for labor, except such
as is used or employed in domestic service,
or in the production of articles consumed
in the family of the producer, may be de-
Quoted.
Fourth-No deduction can be allowed in
any case for the cost of unproduced labor.
If house servants are employed portion of
their time in productive labor, such as max
ing of butter and cheese for sale, propor
tionate amount of the wages paid them NAV
be deducted
Fitth-Expenses for ditchirg and clearing
new land are plainly expenses for permanent
improvements, and not deductable.
Sixth-The whole amount expended for
fertilizers, applied during the year to the
farmers lands may be deducted, but no de-
duction is allowed for fertilizers produced
on the farms. The cost of seed produced
for sowing or planting may be deducted.
Seventh-Farmers will not be required to
make return of produce consumed in their
own immediate families.
Eighth-lfa IA person sells timber standing,
the profits are to be ascertained by estimat.
itg the value of the land after the removal
of the timber, and adding thereto the amount
received for the timber, and from the sum
thus obtained deducting the estimated value
of the land on the first day of January, 1862,
or on the day of purchase, if purchased since
that.
Ninth-A farmer should make return of
all his produce sold within the year, but
mere executory contract tor sale is not
sale delivery, either actual or constructive
is essential. The criterion by which TO
judge whether sale is complete or not. is
to determine whether the vendor still retains

other relation between them than that of

Drowned at Avoca.

On the morning of the 22d, at about
half past ten, Geo. H. Eddy, boy about
eighteen years of age, left his fathers
store to go to the lake, distant about three
fourths Of a mile, to swim his horse. A
little after eleven o'clock the horse was
found in lower town, but nothing was
thought Of it until his father missed him
from the store. He Immediately started
young man in search of George; the
young man found his saddle and clothes on
the bank. He sent boy who happened
to come along, back for Mr.. Eddy. Be
fore he arrived, however, Barnard, the
young man whom he had sent to look for
George, swan out into the lake and found
the body in about fifteen feet of water. 1t
is supposed he must have lain under water
upwards Of two hours before he was found,
Twenty minutes or half an hour elapsed
before it was taken from the water. Dr.
Andrews was present and pronounced him
dead. No steps were taken to revive him
it being deemed useless. His parents were
terribly afflicted. No boy could have
been taken from Ayoca that would be
missed more than George. A Good TEN
plar, prominent member of the Sabbath
school, he was always in his place, cheer
fni and kind to all, and will be missed by
all. A BROTHER AND FRIEND
