The Boston, correspondent of the New

anecdote OF Gen. Meagher:

favor OF the Republican party. He was
full of anecdotes of the war, and espe-
cially of his Irish brigade. One story
that he told Is too good 10 be lost, and
has never been published. He said he
was leading his men to the front, in one
OF the seven days. battles, believe,
along the wet and miry roads OF Virginia,
when an aide rode by and gave him the
news that our army had carried certain
strategic point and captured several col
ors.
"'D'ye hear that boys?' shouted Mea-
CHER; Our men have won the day and
captured the enemy's colorsV

proof of his sincerity, to donate to the
tlthing Office one tenth of all his posses
slons, no matter what they are, or how
extensive they may be. A mas with
100000 In money must, upon his entry
into fellowship, give the tithng office
$4,000 OF 1t. This is the first grand
principle OF Utah Mormonism, II the
man during the year makes $40, 900 by
Judicious investment of his remaining
$4,000, he must give the tithlng office
81 600 of the amount. This is the second
grand principle of Utah Mormonism {;
and upon these two principles hang all
the law and the profits. If man has
no money or other property he is re-
quired to give one-tenth of his labor to
the tithing office; thus he labors nine
days for himself, and the tenth he gives
to the Church in such manner as he
may be directed. As to the mode in
which the funds thus raised are expend-
ed no revelation has been made. Prob
ably Brigham Young keeps the key OF
the strong box, and boards or disburses
at will. The plan is well conceived for
taxing every one to an extent utterly un.
known elsewhere.

THB POISONING CAsE.-We notice that
several of the Eastern aud Southern city
papers allude to the poisoning case
which recently occurred in this place,
with the error in the announcement that
it was at Portland, Me, and giving one oil
the victims names as Henry W. Kng'

In this connection we would state
that we have nothing to report materi'

all believed to be out of danger, though
Mr. Dyer and Mrs, Clark are still quite
feeble.

system by which the Mormon hierarchy

Young, in adopting them as a system of
taxation In Utah, copies the require

does not exact them except from those
who Join his church. In Continental
Europe there are scarcely any tithes, the
French having led the way to their
abolition at the time OF ther first revo-
luton. In England the tithe-exscting
system was legally established in the
eighth century. Soon after, Scotland and
Ireland were subjected to that mulct. In
England, dissenters, who have to pay
them complain bitterly Of being thus
compelled to maintain the clergy of q
church whose doctrines they do not hold;
but il is still worse ia Ireland, where
nine tenths of the population,-Catho-

THE ACCIDENT" AT LUDLow.-ln our
item about the accident at Ludlow we
were mistaken regarding the cause Of
the cars leaving the track. 1t resulted
from the displacement or spreading" OF

one is responsible. The results, however,
are the same, viz; promiscuous dis
play of eight car loads Of pork on either

we learn they have had an exciting time
in BrattleborO-exciting at least for a

Of legal process, recently. The Phoe-

arshal Hugh H. Henry armed with two
writs of attachment, issued by the clerk
Of the U. s. Circuit Court, and with axe
in hand, forced an entrance into the
machine shops Of Henry Sargent and
Morris & Abbott, in this village, and by
virtue Of said process attached and re
moved from said shops all the sewing
machines on hand and in process Of com
pletiOn, together with the stock and ma
chinery therein. We understand these
wrts were sued out in favor of Potter
e. Wheeler of New York, who claim
damages Of Morris g. Abbott and Sar-
gent for an Infringement, in manufactur-
ing and selling sewing machines, alleg-
ing that they are the lawful owners Of
the patent, and have the exclusive right

THE FARMERS TAxRs.-The following
important decisions have recently been
given by the Commissioner Of Internal
Revenue at Washington
l. Farmers will not be required to
make return of produce consumed in
their own immediate families.
2. The farmers profits from sales Of
live stock are to be found by deducting
from the gross receipts fer animals sold,
the purchase money paid for the same.
If animals have been lost during the
wear by death or robbery, the purchase
money paid for such animals by be
deducted from the gross income Of the
farm.
3. No deduction can be made by the
farmer for the value of services rendered
by his minor children, whether he actu.
ally pays for such service or not. If
adult children work for him and receive
compensation for their labor, they are to
| be regarded as other hired labOrers in
determining his income.
4. Money paid for labor, except such
| as is used and employed in domestic ser
|
consumed in the family of the producer,
may be deducted.
! s. No deduction can be allowed in any
case for the cost of reproductive labor.
| If house servants are employed a portion
of the time in productive labor, such as
the making OF butter and cheese for
sale, proportionate amount of the wa
ges paid them may by deducted.
| 6. Expenses for ditching aud clearing
new land are plainly expenses for per
mauent Improvement and not deducted

is allowed for fertilizers produced on
