Tilt TAX OW DINTII.I.O SelKlTO.—lnetead
Of di . tereaiing the revenue of the_government,
as was at rst supposed, the reduded tax on
distilled spirits is rather *greasing it. Two
or three eases ill point, will illustrate this
fact. Ono of our largeak distillers returned
last year 22,062 gallon's os the product of his
establishment. for' the months of/ January,
February and March. This number of gal
lons brought the government, at $2 per gal
lon, $44,104. when the new law went Into
effect, making the tariff but fifty cents per
gallon, this same manufacturer again com
menced his operatiotfi, and from the_2sth of
September, of this Oar, to the latterpart of
October, he distilled 67 1 286ga110n5, or 86,244
gallons more than during the three months
whet) the tax wavs2. The - tax on 67,290
gallons, under the new law, with ten cents
for each barrel , of spirits produced, and with
$2 for every twenty bushela of grain mashed,
yieldi to the government a revenue of $Bl,-
280. There is another case, in which one of
our distilleries averaged one thousand gal-
lons per month, under the old law. But un
der the new it now.produces an average of
12,000 gallons monthly, and instead of yield
ing but $2,000, now - yields $O,OOO as revenue
to the government.—Age. •
A SAD CASE.—Mri. caIIIMAD was dis
charged from the }kirks &punt' , prison yes
terday, where she had been committed in
default of bail, on a charge of exposing her
person. The charge wus not sustained,. and
the Court discharged her. She was in a des
titute condition, being withoullimoney, fuvk
her two children, boys, aged .respectively.
two and three years, were walking along the
street barefoot, and poorly clad, when they
were observed by Policeman John Lawren"ce,
of the Third Ward, who took charge of
them and took up a subscription for their
benefit heading it himself with 60 cents, fol
lowed by Officer Kemp with 25 cents. The
sum of $B.Ol was raised; with which Officer
Lai/ranee purchased shoes ,and stockings
for, both the children, and a coat anitcap for
one of , them, giving the mother the remain
der, 75 cents, to buy fool Tho womatee
husband, Peter Callahan, is in Nev York
State, and but for the noble. policemen she
would have been friendless, and her children
might have perished from exposure. Sfio
formerly resided in Scranton, but remains
li
at Mrs. Rourke's, in Seventh street, near t o
Blast Furnace, until she can hear from h r
husband. We commend her case to t o
notice of the charitable. . Officer Lawrence
is deserving of praise for his.kindness to

there are not more like him—for the sake of
the suffering poor evermhere.
