Dedication —The Pre-byttiian church „ was lurma'.ly dedicated, as previously announced, last Sabbath. The congrega t'on were owing some one hundred atd fifty dollars on the building, which sum was raised by contribution before the dedication. CvS'ftIIMATION, New Cuvrch—Bishop Lewis of Fort Wsyne, confirmed some fifty or itxty at the Catholic church, last Sabbath. 'The congregation have the 4 question of erecting a new bouse of wor•Kip under ooasiditati.iti, and will probably take the preliminary step to accom plish it durlhg the coming season Nsw Stock.— McLean di Brothers' are roeuving their new stock of spring and Summir clothing, piece goods, hats ' and caps and notions.

Rabies. —Ou Sunday last, a dog exhibiting tinmistakcable indications ofhydruyh /uii, was killed on d o street. The dog was aeon to bite a chicken at the Buit House, which has sine died, and is supposed to have bitten uth r animals. On Wsalncuday another small dog supposed t j be afflicted with the same disease, paid the penalty with his life. Our citizens should be on the ah it for further cases, and kill all animals supposed to be bitten, vC uonfiue them securely. Icteknal Revenue.—A quite a number of our lartn .t a have made inquiries ol us respecting tho In e na'. Revenue poll til as they term it. Wo propose to give the • xilanation furnish, dby the Assistant AMviiaur. As all are aware m add lion to-specid t;ws every p rson in the United Stan s—bond holders excepteA—have to pay an income tax, when their income t-xcsedr six hundred dollars, on the excess over the six hundred dollars.

The farm r b ing a producer partially Uvea off of the pro- I docUons of his farm, and in estimating | his income the Asseesor adds to his receipt! on an average ab ut sixty dollars , for each person in the family, for sundries produced on the farm which has . been consumed, and which were not ac- ‘ counted for by the farmer in estimating his receipts. This deducted from the six-bundied exempt leaves the true, amount on which he has to pay sn income tax-’ The Bansib Insurance Company.— , Thc.Banner Issuance Company hare lately made an assessment on their policy ' hold rs who insured on the mutual plan. ; Many of those residing in this county are exhibiting considerable ire, and declare that they did not understand they were giving premium notes when they insured, and bad no knowledge that the company held their Botes until notified of their asThe agents who transacted the company’s business would meet with :» warm reception should they call around From what we can gather, the agents ••arefully concealed from the farmers that thev were insuring on the mutual plan and when taking their premium notes did not -tell them the contents of the paper they •were requested to affix their signature to, but asserted it was a nee saury for- ■ mality. By this means those who could ntt read and those who reLei on the representation* of the agents of the com-1 piny were deceived. This c'ass of men . will either pay the assessment, and get ’heir policy canceled or refuse to pay altogether. Those who understood what they were doing, cheerfully comply with the assessments. But among all classes ’Lera is alack of confidence in the soundness of the company, and in its ability to mska dti e losses of the imured.

C. mm n Pleas C_vrt — The May .'t rm of the Court of Common Pleas ’on*' Mbtiday, M«y 14th. There are thirty-nine cases docketed on tl.O issue docket and thirty nine on die probate. There are several important ' j State cases to be disposed of, the most itn- ' pot lant of which is the case of the two burglais, following in order two oases of grand j larceny, one of petit larceny and a couple <of cases of assault and battery. Ther - ' is seventeen partiti in cases, one divorce, one attachmihit an 1 the remainder or- ; denary con plaints for debt. IIUMEUGS AND SWINDLERS —This is eminently an age of humbugs and swindlers. Almost every day circulars are pns'ing through the post-offices of the country promising magnificent prizes in greenbacks, witches and jewelry, and everything else valuable to all who will invest a small sum, g-nerally from twen-ty-five cents to ore dollar. To many it is a great mystery how their distant cur-re.-poudent became aware even of their htnnb.e existence, much less their post- | office address, 'J ho explanation is veiy simple. There are persons in our large 1 cities who make it a busin< ss to get a list of the names and post office address oil every person throughout the States and I Territories. This list they procure from j post-masters or other officials, and pay I them for it. They in turn furnish tho i enterprising gift catch penny man who address you with his inducements to in vest. They are generous fellows with their off rs, but our advice is to t ,ke n > notice of the inducements they hold ou . llf you wish to make purchases go to au I honest dealer and make tho best bargain i yon can. Within a week or two we were called upon in person by an enterprising g nius whohKis to make his money by talking, who proffered to sail us for one dollar, a I celebrated washing rec. ipt, which has I been patented, but of course the ingredients are asec.ut. On the payment of one dollar the receipt wtuldbe sent by mail. He exhibited a lung list of names of victims; some fifty er sixty and represent d ho bid been operating but a few days We i.re of ths opinion that aft er 1 . using tlu.se receipts for a few times they •jean be purohis <1 ata heavy discount, j and wi 1 prove of no practical value to 1 i the holder. 1866.
