All taxation shall be limited to the reauirs-

and bearing Highest on articles of necessity
We therefore denounce the abuses Of the
existing tariff; and, subject to the preceding

To meet this deficiency there are the
taxes upon corporations for the first
six months of the year, accruing June
SOth, but not payable until August.
Practically, therefore, the operation of
the law has been not merely to pay
the States current expenses, but to al
so leave large surplus. The only
litigation over the law is in relation to
the refusal of the Central Vermont
railroad to pay the first half years
taxes on the Central division, the
claim being that the division was ex-
empted from taxation by its charter.
A suit to recouer these taxes is now
pending in Washington county court.
This suit, we believe, constitutes the
only litigation, pending or prospect
i've, in relation to the law.-Free Press.

ga REAL NECESSITY.

We presume there is hardly a lady
to be found in our broad land who, il
she does not already possess a sewing
machine, expects some day to become
the owner of one.
But after the mind has been fully
made up to purchase one of these in.
dispensable articles, the question
arises as to what kind of q machine to
buy.
1t should be so simply constructed
that the most inexperienced can sue
cessfully operate it. The other points
mainly to be considered, and which
are the most desirable, are durability
rapidity, capacity for work, ease OF
operation, regularity of motion, uni
formity of tension, and silence while
in operation.
The "Light-Running New Home"
fills the above requirements, and is
said to combine the good points of all
sewing machines, with the addition of
many new improvements and labor
saving devices.
The price is no higher than that of
other machines, and every lady who
is the happy possessor of one may rest
assured she has indeed treasure.

VICTORY.

Died at her home in Victory, July 81
Minnie L. wife of ]. X. Bonett, aged "a
years.
In early life Mrs. Bonett became a
member of the NJ. E. Church, in whose
communion she has worshiped for
years. As a believer she found enjoy.
ments and privileges in Christ, which
cheered and comforted her, in her
daily life, and when disease marked
her as a victim, and she found eternity
near, she could say 81 am ready and
willing to die if it is Gods will, still |
would love to live for my family's
sake, but not my will, Gods be done.''
And she counseled her companion to
keep the children together and to put
his whole trust in Jesus, and at all
times make God his refuge. She leaves
a companion and five children to
mourn their great loss, and many
sympathizing friends, who feel that
they too are bereft, and that the sun
shine of one face has gone out from
earth, that became bright and beauti-
full in the Celestial City.-Inder.

The truth of the old saying that
"there is no great loss without ut least
some small gain" is illustrated, says
an exchange, in the fact that the ex-
tremely cold weather in the early part
of the summer has had the effect to
greatly lessen the number of insects
that prey upon vegetation, notably
the potato beetle, currant worm, cur
culio, canker worms and other insects
that ordinarily infest fruit trees and
vegetables. A few such cold seasons
might have the effect of discriminating
all these pests. Perhaps some may
think the remedy is worse than the
disease.
