INCOME TAx.--Secretary Boutwell, still
opposes not only the abolition of the in
come tax, but any modification of it. He
says it is the most just and equitable of
all of our taxes, that it affects only about
100000 Of our 100000 of people, and
ought to stand. He is willing that the
taxes on transportation and licenses be
dispensed with, making a reduction of
about eight millions each, but hopes that
the reduction of the income tax to 3 per
cent. which would also decrease the rev.
enue about eight millions, will not be en-
acted. Congress and the country are
clearly against the Secretary, in this,
however, and there is little doubt the in
come tax will be reduced to three per
cent, and all incomes under $4,000 ex-
empted entirely.

NEARLY FRIGHTENED TO DEATH BY
AN OTTER-The Gsllatin Mo- Democrat

AN OTTER.-The Gsllatin NO. Democ1'a,
tells the following curious story:
Mr.. William Prewitt, while ont hunt
ing rabbits, in Daviess county, found
several large offers, one Of which he shot.
Thinking the animal was dead he ap-
preached very near, when, to his surprise,
it made a furions attack Mr.. P. inn
medistely fed, closely pursued by the
Infatuated animal A very low rail fence
was close at hand, and our friend sprang
nimbly over, but equally nimble was the
otter, which, as Mr.. p. went over the rails,
went through Our now very much
frightened friend, seeing his foe on the
same side of the fence, sprang nimbly
back. This game was kept up for some
time, until, completely exhausted, Mr. P
made several frantic leaps, and finding
the animal just passing through the fence
ne in desperation grasped it by the tail
and catching its leg through another
crack, sank exhausted to the ground. The
shrieks and cries of Mr. Prewitt for help
mingled with the enraged snarls and
lighting of the animal, were heard at the
farm, nearly a mile distant, and he was
soon relieved from his awkward situation,
but 30 exhausted and enfeebled by the
fright that it was some time before he
could walk sufficiently to get to the house

PATENT OFFICE.-The proposed reform
in the patent Office printing, by which it
is said $174,000 may be saved the first
year, and much more then that in years
to come as the business increases, is so
simple it is wonder some one did not
think of it before. Instead of printing,
at the end OF the year several thousand
copies of very bulky volume containing
abstracts of all the specifications of pa
tents issued during the year, with en-
cravings of the accompanying drawings,
it is proposed to print 100 copies of the
complete specifications and drawings,
with provision that one copy is to be
placed for free public use in the the cap
itol of each state or territory, one in the
clerks Office of the district court of each
judicial district, and one in the library of
Congress, while there will be a few copies
for sale if anybody wants to buy. This
is much more sensible than the present
printing of several thousand volumes for
gratuitous distribution, year 1850
copies of the report were issued at cost
of $212 ,010,-and we should suppose the
sanction of Congress would be given to
the reform with alacrity.

and criminal cases other than capital.
1t provides that when any such civil or
criminal case is in order for trial, and be-
fore proceeding to its trial, the clerk, I'M
der the direction of the Court, shall place
the names of all jurors legally summoned
and in attendance, and not engaged in
the trial of any other cause, separately
upon tickets in box, and the names to
be drawn by the clerk, one at time, for
the purpose of constituting jury; and
each party to have the peremptory right
to challenge two jurors; but all peremp-
tory or other challenges and objections to
a juror drawn, if then known, shall be
made and determined, and the juror
sworn or set aside before another name is
drawn, and so on until the panel is COM
pleted. A new jury is to be thus drawn

naments, our country one OF its truest
patriots, and our common christianity one
of its most eloquent defenders.
Resolged, That while we mourn on &C
count of his early death. we would cherish
unfeigned gratitude to God for the noble
work which DIR. McClintock has wrought
in behalf of christian learning and liberal
culture.
ResoIved, That we commend to God the
Cause and the Institution to which DIR.
Me- lintock had oonsecrated the ripened
fruits of his experience and study, with
the fullest confidence that although
clouds and darkness are round about
Him, righteousness and judgment are the
habitation of His throne, and that when
He calls one of His servants to their re-
ward, He will raise up others to fill their
places.
Reso1ced, That copy of these resoln-
lions be sent to the family of DR.. McClin-
took, and also copy to the Christian
Ad00c0te and Methodist for publication.
After appropriate remarks by DR.. New
man, DR.. Goadby of the Baptist Church,
Rev's W. Billiard, o. Gregg and A. +.
Bailey the resolutions were adopted by q
rising vote of both the Association and

SINGULAR TUMoR.-The English journ.
ais gives an account of singular tumor,
discovered in the stomach of a woman
about thirty years of age, who had been
under treatment for two years in a Lon
don hospital for a disease, the nature of
which had baffled all the skill of the ply
sicians to determine. On post mortem
examination, a solid tumor, composed of
human hair, resembling in appearance a
black duck with very large neck, and
weighing nearly two pounds, was found
to occupy and nearly completely to fill
the stomach and gullet, forming a tolera-
bly, accurate mould of these organs, and
extending from the stomach almost into
the mouth. This remarkable concretion
had caused great thickening and ulcera'
ton of the stomach. and was the remote
cause of death. On inquiry, sister stated
that during the last twelve years she had
known the deceased to be in the habit OF
eating her own hair.

GEN. SHERIDAN AND THE VERMONT
SoLDIERs.-A Vermonter who met Gen.
Sheridan at a reception given to Prince
Arthur by E. W. stoughton, Esq, says in
letter to the Woodstock Standard
On being introduced, I said to the Cen
eral that, although was not exactly in
the military line, still, being the only man
resident of Vermont present, I claimed to
be the representative in his presence OF
the Vermont Brigade and the other Green
Mountain Boys of the army in the war of
the Rebellion. With hearty grasp, and
hearty, soulful voice, he said, AZ knew
the old Brigade, and those other boys we'll.
They were right good fellows and the
best of soldiers. They were often relied
on in positions of great peril, and they
never failed in any emergency" After a
little more chat I yielded my hold on his
attention to others. | heard it several
times remarked as a noticeable fact that
an unusual proportion of the company
were of Vermont origin. [ recognized
several such whose names adOrn the
highest ranks of business and social life.
Of that class, conspicuous among the
ladies were Mrs. Roosevelt and Lady
Ouseley, daughters of Gov. Van Ness and
Mrs Evarts.

was terribly protracted, though he rallied at
last sufficiently to exhort those around him to
maintain a spirit8f fervaf and charity amongst
themselves. He expired on the 18th OF August
1850. The multiplicity OF his works was now
more remarkable than its singleness Of inten-
zion and unity of~purpose, the whole being
based on q profound alteration of the Sacred
Hearts of Jesus and Mary. The remainder of
the volume is devotedto summary of the
fruit OF his iabors both in the establishment of
Seininaries and houses of refuge for penitents.'
