ployed in Gilman's mill at Veazie, in some
manner fell upon circular saw in rapid mo-
ton, Thursday afternoon, and was horribly
mutilated, his thigh being gashed so that a
hand could be laid in the wound, one bone of
his right forearm sawed off, and the flesh
torn in a shocking manner. A resection was
made of the shattered bone, but the prospect
of saving the arm is very doubtful, says the
Wing.

REDUCTION or TAXES.

To the false charge and clamor that
nothing was done by Congress to reduce
taxation, we reply by the following state
ment:
Special taxes. including those on bank
ers, will cease May /. 1870, except those
connected with fermented liquors, spirits,
and tobacco.
Taxes on gross receipts will cease Octo-
Der |, 1870.
Taxes on sales will cease October /,
1870, except those on sales of tobacco,
spirits, wines, and those pail by stamps.
Taxes on income, including salaries, will
be IL per cent. on incomes over $1,000,
instead of per cent. on incomes over
$1,000.
Taxes on legacies will cease October l.,
1870.
Taxes on passports will cease October
l, 1870.
The use of stamps will cease October l.,
1870, for promissory notes for less than
500, for receipts and for canned and pre-
served fish.
The receipts from these sources in the
fiscal year 1870 were estimated at $S3,-
ole, 900. The reductions have been offi-
cially estimated at about S60,0OO,000.
And besides this the duties on tea, coffee
and sugar have been largely reduced, and
the free list increased, SO as to cut off some
twenty millions more of taxation. Still
the democrats continue to repeat the false
hood that no burdens have been removed.

Said one Of the oldest and most

II do not care to have my men get
up before five or half-past in the
morning, and if they 90 to bed early
and can steep sonndly, they will do
more work than if they got up at
four or haIt'past four" We do not
believe IN the cight-hour law, but
nevertheless, are inclined to think that
as a general rule, we work too many
hours on the farm. The best man
We ever hal to dig bitches seldom
worked, when digging by the rod,
more than nine hours day. And it
is so in chopping wood by the cord;
the men who accomplish the most,
work the fewest hours. They bring
al lheir brain and muscle into exer-
else, and make every blow tell. A
slow, plodding Dutchman may turn

kind Of work is now mostly done by
horse power, and the farmer needs,
above all else, a clear head, with all
his faculties Of mind and muscle light

temperament, but, as a rule, such
men need sound sleep and plenty Of
it When boy on the farm, we were
told that Napoleon needed only four
hours sleep, and the old nonsense
Of give hours for man, six for
woman, and seven for fool" was
often quoted. But the truth IS, that
Napoleon was enabled, in a great
measure, to accomplish what he did
from the faculty Of sleeping soundly
of sleeping when he slept and
working when he worked. We have

and when dashing through the coun-

changed, could carry him, he slept
soundly, and when he arrived at his

plenty to eat, nothing to "drink," and
all the sleep they can taks.-Ameri-
