Tlsn EnanTrra Tax.

1t is now stated that General Pleasan-
ton the new Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, did not say that the expen-
ses of collecting the Inceme Tax were
greater than the amount collected.
What he said was, that these expenses
bear very large ratio to the amount
collected, and that, were the Income
Tax altogether abolished, the greatest
hindrance would be removed to the sill
plification of the whole system of col
Iecting the Internal Revenue. He
does not think it worth while to con-
tinue it, taking into consideration its
unpopularity, the pervading feeling
that it is no longer necessary, and the
fact that it how yields little additional
value. .. 80,
This tax is justifiable only in times of
great national emergency, such as that
at which it was originally imposed. 1t
was war measure, and was so regard
ed at its origin, and it was cheerfully
submitted to by the people as one of the
great necessities created by the calami-
ties of the country. In itself it was
never other than diSagreeable, and now
that it cannot longer be said to be ne
cessary, thereis universal demand for
its repeal. In the present condition of
public opinion throughout the country,
it is scarcely probable that the Income
Tax will outlast the present Congress :

Tragedy i'm Darke County.
pecial Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette
-c,.--- a ol


GREENvILLE, o., January 90.
A shocking affray occurred in Green
vile yesterday. A man by the name
of Edward Bartling entered the office of
o. c. Perry, Auditor of Darke county.
He was at the same time intoxicated,
and commenced to abuse the Auditor,
who begged and tried his best to get
him to leave, but in vain, and in his
rage he ran the Auditor aboutth Office.
The Auditor sent his clerk for help
While he. was gone Bartling caught
hold of the Auditor and pushed him
back in one corner of the room, and,
while Perry was begging for life and
help, Bartling became more courageous,
shaking and beating him, when Perry,
to save himself, drew his revolver and
shot him through the right breast, from
mich he died at P. M. to-day.

O. =.
Mr.. EDITOR: Your correspondent
under the head of ''Colerain TIP. Lo-
cals," thinks that "the day is not far
distant when the intelligent people of
Pennington and vicinity will all acqui-
esce in the Judges decision relative to
our school trouble, and will say that he
tempered justice with mercy"
We are not disposed to find fault with
your correspondents gift of prophecy,
and if he thinks he has a calling that
way, we are perfectly willing that he
should enjoy the belief that he is sec
ond Moses. But we do think it would
take several such prophets to convince
the Intelligent people of Pennington"
as your correspondent styles them, that
a Judge, who decided that o school
teacher who thrashed pupil over the
head with hickory cane, as means of
correction, did a justiiable and legal
deed, tempered his decision with much
Justice, mercy, or wisdom. We learn
that the directors of the Pennington
school have in their way reversed the
decision, by requiring the teacher, lame
as he is, to leave his cane at home, in
stead of taking it to the school house as
heretofore. 1t is suggested that they
also require him to do without a shovel
and poker. We have no doubt there is
a wild set of boys about Pennington,
but we think they are not much worse
than boys in adjoining districts. In an
adjoining district, some time since, the
boys got rather unrulv, and the teacher
thought he would try the effect of the
law; SO he takes the law to the school,
and proceeds to read the criminal law,
dwelling particularly on the punish
ment of evildoers. While he was SO
Engaged, the scholars whom he sought
to terrify were engaged in cutting OF
his coat buttons. They say 'smad" was
no name for it, when he found it out.
FARAfINGToN.
4 P.S. We never knew family OF
Flat Run or anywhere else, who woke
up to find themselves drowned, but II
seems your correspondent did.

We trust the changes we make, this
week, viii please our readers. We
have chosen larger and palmer type,
not only to suit our readers but our
selves aIso.s Nos.one will complain of
print easily read, and among old
people there is a demand for it. For
power-press work a more durable type
was needed than formerly used by us,
and generally used with hand-presses.
We have~also yielded to requests to
issue 'seso paper as far as possible. A
new head is like an occasional new
haiti improves the appearance of the
wearer. The one we have selected may
not please adj, but it, at least, has the
merit Of differing from the old one.
The CHRONICLE this week enters upon
its fifty-eighth year, and is the oldest
paper in the County. 1t has ever been
political paper, and while it has
changed with the changes
progress has !. wrought in the
opinions of men, it has, to-day, but
little to regret in looking back over the
battle ground of human rights. For
the last fifteen years it has been the
organ of the Republican party in the
County, and his, at times, occupied
some advanced positions. Although
published at the County seat, it relies
upon the good will and assistance of its
friends for support. There have been
some complaints about the high price
of County papers, and it is true, that
owing to the want of cordial support,
County journals are incapable of fur
nishing the amount of reading matter
usually given by city papers. But this
is no reason why they should not be
supported. No one would be willing
to live in a county of the wealth and
population of Belmont, without news
papers. Every city and town of any
enterprise is proud of its paper. To
many of our subscribers previous to the
first of January, we gave the usual ben
efits of clubbing rates for advance pay,
Since that time we could not well con.
time our offers. We believe the ad.
vance pay system the cheapest and
only safe way Of doing business.
The election of officers the coming
Fall win, without doubt, be the closest
contest as well as the most important
for several years, and in view of oul
heavy taxes, and the expensive contro
of affairs at present, it becomes Repub
licans to get ready for the work.

Purify the Blood With
DR.. WEAVER'S Medicines
For HumorS.

-
THESE Invaluable Medicines have achieved a
of all kinds from the human system. They
Iere introduced to the public some six years
since, and have been used with entire success.
The CANKER AND SALT RHEUM SYRUP is
taken Internally, which cleanses the Blood,
by throwing impurities to the surface, when
the CERATE Is applied, externally, and al.
eruptfons are destroyed, and Health and Beauty
restored. Their ASTONISHING SUCCESS has
called. out many ignorant pretenders, who
have introduced their wonderful preparations
to the public. They are u.-t in almost every
form, from Panae9sl's down TO Pills, and all Tor
Humors, (of course ihey ds'e.l
But 10 has been reserved to DR.. WEAVER'S
SYRUP and CfsRATE TO achieve what, (under
the ci rcu ins;aucen.) may be regarded the
most brillian' triumph yet achieved by any
medicine every introduced To the American
public. Why Is this? simply. because they
perform what they promise; and notwithstand-
ing the introductio of these new and wond-
erful preparations to the public, the SALT
RHEUM SYRUP and CERATE keep steadily
on their way, conquering as they go. II the
public wish to try THESE new preparations we
have not n word to say, for they have SURE
REMEDY TO FALL BACK UPON, viz, DIR.
WEAVER'S CANKER and SALT RHEUM
SYRUP and CERATE. OF this fact the public
are well aware for flr,.lsands, in all sections OF
the country have i,s.e~ aured by them; after all
other remedies Iiati % '-rly failed.

That Road will be built upon some
one of the. four proposed routes, con-
Meeting Dennison and the Ohio River,
is a firm conviction with men upon
either route, but that Bellaire will be
the southern terminus of the road, is
to us now more evident than at any
time since the question of a road any
where has been brought before the peo-
pie, Flushing is yet undecided in her
choice of routes, but the intended sur
vey of the different lines as resolved
upon by the meeting of Saturday,
shows her willingness to enter upon
this work. Mr.. Randolph, Chief en-
gineer of the Baltimore Road is engaged
to survey the route via st. Clairsville,
and will begin next week. There is
no doubt of q favorable report, as the
previous survey of the most difficult
part of the line showed it to be entirely
practicable. The decisions of this En-.
gineer will go far toward deciding
whether this shall be the route or not
The meeting at Bellaire on last Friday
though not conclusive in its results
gives the assurance that the citizens o.
that place intend that the road shall
end there. On Monday COMMITTEES
of five gentlemen from Toledo visited
Bellaire in the interests of the proposed
Belmont q Toledo Road. They ar
men of wealth and influence. Thi
alone viii go far toward throwing :
balance in favor of this route. The,

FELL IN LOVE. SURE ESoUau.-The
Rochester Democrat reports the follow
ing case of extraordinary matrimony,
In which love interposed, just as death
was imminent. 1t was q real case OF
falling In love, and Of catching a wife
the first tumble-a roped.in perform
ance:
Leona Dare, aged seventeen years,
and beautiful In form and feature, has
been doing tho trapeze business at the
Theatre Comique, Now Haven, for
some time back. A few nights since,
while at the hight Of thirty-two feet
from the floor, she lost her balance and
fell, aud would have been killed had
not a young man caught her in his
arms. We need not add the result.
She was at the time q perfect stranger
to this young man but last Tuesday
she married him, aud now every night
he watches BY the trapeze whilc she
performs. There Is much romance
here; but It Is a pity that the daring
young lady hadn't acquired, with her
husband, sufficient property to enable
her to retire from her perilous profess
sion. However. lucre and true love
were never yet associated, and perhaps
it Is lust as well.
