$4,000 of the money stolen from the
office Of the Treasurer Of Vermillion county
Indiana, has been recovered. A farmer
saw two suspicious men, on the evening of
the 10Th of April, when he called them to

suing party secured, and it was found to
contain $4,000 of the missing money
When the thieves reached the shore a man
tried to stop them, and succeeded in knock

drew revolver and dreve their antagonist
Off. The two robbers then took to the

hardly escape capture.
The New Orleans Times says that ever
since the termination of the war the mind
of Pierre Soulc had been unsettled. but
during the last two years it has been COM
pletely unhnged. The once great orator,
unequaled advocate, accomplished ,iurist
and scholar, dwindled into a helpless and
hopeless imhecile, and passed the last two
years OF his life in the most frivolous and
imbecile manifestations of the complete
overthrow of his once magnificent powers.

"A Michigan woman has recovered by

without consideration.

The Salisbury IdrertiSer calls the at
tention Of publishers to the expediency of
forming an Association to protect the press
against the grinding rates deled out by city
advertising agents. We have no objection
to an Association, but think there is a
surer and more simple way to cure the evil.
If advertisements furnished by city agents
are too low. don't accept them. If parties
are not known to be responsible, demand
the cash before inserting their advertise
ments, and if they don't comply, put their
ads. in the waste-basket. We have adopted
these simple rules, and find them to work
admirably There is nothing like being
independent.

The Income Tax.
Dispatches from Washington say

dispatches lTou dsAluStOH say
Prospects are frightening for the entire
abolition of the tax on incomes. Numer-
GUS petitions are being received from every
section of the country, protesting against
this tax as most oppressive, and they are
beginning to have an effect on Congress,
and when the matter comes up in the House
this tax will be stricken out, unless the
Ways and Means Committee are able to
offer stronger arguments in faver of it,
continuance than have yet been advanced.
This war tax seems to have no friends,
save, perhaps, Secretary Boutwell,, whe
strongly urges its continuance, on the
ground that it is the most equitable tax
assessed. How the Secretary become
possessed of this opinion it is difficult to
imagine. 1t is almost entirely at the option
of the assessed, whether his return is cor
rect or otherwise. Many, to ease theil
consciences Of making false returns, keel
no accounts of their profits and gains il:
business, and by such sophistry, think they
avoid the crime of perjury in making a
norant Of their crime. Not one-half tn,
income is assessed and collected, which the
law contemplates, and the misery and dis
honest, the enemies to the Government
manage in many ways to avoid paying their
just amount of tax, while the strictly con-
scientious, and careful business man, pays
on every cent which the tax is justly due.
A more unequal tax than the income tax
cf hn
levied by the Government. The tax upon
small incomes is particularly eppressiv.
and odious. For man to be called upon
to pay five per cent on income which he
having contributed to the revenues of Gov
eminent by tax on every article employed
in his business, is considered, and justly so.
oppressive and partial, in view of the well
established fact that the half is not col
lected by this tax, which the makers Of the
law expected and intended.
The income tax was established as war
measure, and as such was acquiesced in
cheerfully, and when the time appointed
for it to expire has arrived, it is not mat
ter of surprise that any efforts to re-enact
the Income law should be met with uni
versal complaint and condemnation. If the
law is continued at all, it should exempt
at least two thousand dollars, and tax large
incomes, whose fortunate possessors are
able to pay the tax without feeling the con-
sequences, as curtailment of the necessa-
ries Of life. In the heat and struggle OF
rebellion, such sacrifices were willingly
borne by every loyal man, and it was but
just that every disloyal man should be
made to bear them but the expenses of
Government have been reduced, and are
brought still lower each succeeding year by
the present Administration, and the in
come tax should be one of the branches of
taxation speedily Topped off.

THE
OUTNG FARM IMPLEMENTS,

Every farmer should have a can of
linseed oil and a brush on hand, and
whenever he buys a new tool he
should soak it well with the oil and
dry it by the fire or I'm the sun before
using. The wood by this treatment
is tOughened and strengthened, and
rendered impeTvious to water. Wet
a new hay rake, and when il dries it
will begin to be loose in the joints,
but If well oiled the wet will have but
slight effect. Shovels and forks are
preserved from checking and crack
ing in the top of the handle by oiling;
the wood becomes smooth as glass by
use, and is far less liable to blister the
hand when long used. Axe and
hammer handles often break off
where the wood enters the iron-this
part particularly should be toughened
with oil, to secure durability. Oiling
the wood in the eye of the axe Will
prevent its swelling and shrinking,
and sometimes getting loose. The
tools on a large farm cost a large sum
Of money; they should be of the
most approved kind. 1t is a poor
economy at the present extravagant
prices Of labor, to set men at work
with ordinary, old-fashiOned imple-
ments. Laborers should be requir-

The
THE MINISTER3S JOKE.

Old DR.. Strong, of Hartford, Conn,
was not often Outwitted by his people.
On one occasion, he had invited a
young minister to preach for him, who
proved a rather dull speaker, and
whose sermon was unusually long
The people became wearied, and as
DR.. Strong lived near the bridge, about
the commencement OF the afternoon
service he saw his people focking
across the river to the other church,
He readily understood that they fear
ed they should have the same young
man IN the afternoon. Gathering up
his wits, which generally came at his
bidding, he said to the young minis
ter:
"My brother across theriver is rath-
er feeble, and I know he will take it
kindly to have you preach to his peO-
pie, and IL you will do so, I will give
you a note to him, and he will be rs
much Obliged to you as I would to
have you preach for me and I want
to have you preach the same sermon
that you preached TO my people this
morning"
The young minister supposing this
to be a commentator of his sermon,
started Ofin good spirits, delivered
his note, and was invited to preach
most cordially. He saw before him
one-half Of DR.. St-Ong's people, and
they had to listen one hour and a-half
to the same dull, humdrum sermon
that they heard in the morning.
They understood the joke, however,
and said they would never undertake
to run away from Strong again.

Obituary.

DIED, in DeKalb County, No, Aug. 2, Deacon
JOSEPH HOIT, aged "a years, formerly of Cabot
VT.
In the death of Deacon Hoyt, the community,
church with which he was connected, and society
have sustained heavy loss. Though his residence
in Missouri was short yet his Christian example
uniform kindness and strict integrity, he had en-
deared himself to all with whom he had become ac-
quainted. A good man is gone; a kind husband
and father and lifelong Christian. His family by
his death sustain an rreparable loss; yet may they
feel that God doeth all things well.
For more than forty years he has been identified
with the Church of Christ, not only in Vermont,
where he had lived many years surrounded by
the endearments of home, kindred and friends, who
parted with him with fearful reluctance when he
moved with his family to Missouri but also at his
new-found home on the prairies of the west. His
heart and his purse were always open to every
Christian or benevolent enterprise any call fol
charity and every appeal from suffering humanity
but his work is done and he has gone TO his
reward. blessed the dead which die in the
