COsT OF COLLECTING TIE REVENUE.
The Tribune makes a good point in
urging that the cost of collecting our in
ternal revenue should not increase every
wear while the amount collected falls
away. In 1866, when we had nearly
1910, 900, 900 of this revenue, the cost
of collection was only 81, 500, 900; but
in 1867. when we only raised S2G3 ,OO0.-
600. it cost us SO, 1872 $50; and in 1865
it cost S9.327, 3Ol t. collect less than
$50, O0O,00 This is contrary to COM
mon sense, and does not agree with the
parsons logic about having his salary
raised. He said it took him all the time
to collect it now, and he could not posi-
bly, think of having to collect any more
hut we have raised 100000, 900 with
less trouble than we now can get at $751;
600. 900. The Tribune also says that
General Schenck declared a year ago
that the force OF revenue officers should
be reduced when the tax on manulac-
lures was taken otf-but it was not done.
The country will look to Mr.. Boutwell,
to do it.-.Sm'mQfcM Republican,.

DISTRESS AMONG TIKI EARMERS.-
We learn from the st. Adams Mcosen-
ger that in most of the towns in the
eastern portion of Franklin county there
: much distress from the scarcity OF hay
and grain. The winter set i'll 50 early
and has held on 50 steadily and 50 long,
that the majority Of farmers miscalculat
ed. ovcr-stockcd, and are now Obliged TO
suffer. For some three weeks past the
condition of the roads has rendered it
next to impossible TO transport hay and
Grain from those who CHANGED to have Il
supply, and thousands of cattle and sheep
have been kept on very small allowance.
One farmer in Montgomery, who had
seven cows, lost three Of them, gave away
three, and the other is reported likely to
die There are numerous other cases Of
mortality among cattle. most probably
caused by starvation, and now that the
roads have been more passable, it is about
a difficult to get relief a. before. IL
halcd hay sells at $40 a ton i'll 81. Al

to cart it ten or twenty miles in the COM

for grain, there l. none.

of consumption. He was a self-made
man, with little of the advantages Of
education, but by his activity, tact and
industry, especially during the war, he
had made the Journal the best
known and most profitable news

wealth, he was prominent III many of
the great enterprises for the advance
ment of the business relations of Boston.
He had filled many important offices in
the commonwealth, and was specially
