Mr.. EDITOR: l suppose an express
sion of thanks is always in order through
the columns of your paper. If so, let
all men know by these presents that our
good brother over the way is not the only
one who receives tokens of kindness for
labors bestowed
On New Years eve large number of
the good people of our Liverpool congre-
cation quietly wended their way to the
parsonage, suddenly and unexpectedly
entered, took possession, and deposited
in the form of groceries and dry goods,
many valuables for their pastor and his
little family.
Again, on the evening of the 18th
inst, we were given another agreeable
surprise by a goodly representation of
our McKee's congregation who brought
with them bountiful supply of gifts,
like unto which liberal and kind peo-
pie would do. They also kindly remem-
bered Master Bill with some corn and
oats, which he highly appreciates.
TO all concerned, we would again ten
der our sincere thanks, assuring them,
that for these and all other deeds of
kindness we are truly grateful

Mr.. j. M. Toland, of Marysville, was
bitten on the hand few days ago, since
by dog belonging to Mr.. Leiby. No
serious results are, however, anticipated.
1t is mean scamp who will rob
widow, and yet that there are such chaps
is proven by the fact that the chicken
coop of Mrs. Holmes in Centre twp,
was last week robbed for the third time
this winter.
George Wells and Abner Lamp, two
well-known citizens of Huntingdon,
died within five hours of each other on
Friday morning last of the smallpox

A few days ago, Mr.. Frank Thomas,
of South Middleton township, Cumber-

South mountain which measured almost
five feet in length.
1t has been discovered that the same

Mr.. NJ. G. Wilson, of Duncannon, has
been presented with $50 by the railroad
CO., as prize for the best piece of track,
he being foreman over one of the divis-
ions between Harrisburg and Newport.
1t rather surprised us, to see a man
filling our ice house on Friday and
Saturday last with ice from 81 to 6

supposed ice of that thickness was to be
had.
The farm OF Patrick M henna, dec d.,

James HI. Furguson and William

The INTERVAL Revenue BtLL.-To-
baeeo and Income Iores. &e.-The commits
tee on ways and means reported to the
House Of Representatives on Saturday
the internal revenue tax bill. The main
features Of the bill are u reduction Of the
tax on manufactured tobacco from "a 10
10 cents per pound, q reduction In the
tar on cigars from SO to s. per 1000, a
reduction on cigarettes from 81, IS per
900 to 81 25, and the restoration OF the
tax on incomes in excess oil $1,000 per
wear, the rate OF tax being 6xed at 2 per
cent. Before reporting the bill the com
mi,,ee abandoned the graduated PROPOSE.
ton, and fixed Il at the uniform rate oil
2 per cent on all sums in excess OF the
amount exempted. The income tax pro.
visions Of the bill are made operative
from and after July !, 1878, special pro.
vision being made for the assessment and
collection Of the tax for the last six
months Of the present calendar year.
The net result 10 the treasury, should
this bill pass, will be q decrease 10 the an.
nual receipts Of over sS,000,0 900, without
taking into account the additional ex'
pence that will be incurred in collecting
the tar from incomes.
The New York Tfma commenting on
the bill says I" During the last tiscal year
the quantity Of tobacco which entered
into consumption, and upon which a tax
Of "a cents per pound was paid, was
about ll3,O06,000 pounds, and the mum.
Der Of cigars which paid q tax Of Sc per
LOCO was over 100000. The reduction
proposed in the bill on these two articles
and oncigarettes would be on tobacco over
50, 100000, and on cigars and cigarettes
over ST, 100000, making a total Of about
$40, 25O,O00. Against this loss a tax on
incomes Is provided, from which accord.
ing TO the estimate Of the commissioner Of
internal revenue, there would be received
about sS,000,00O annually. Il will thus
be seen that the net loss to the annual
revenues by the passage Of the bill just
reported would be in round numbers
about $4,000 Add to this the $1,000,
600 loss which would result from the pas
sage Of Mr.. Woods tariff bill, according
to the estimate presented by the bureau
Of statistics, and we have an aggregate
loss To the annual revenue through the
lepislalion proposed by the committee on
ways and means Of about Sl2,0OO,o00."
