another instance he had been paid $l5, 1868 for wha

OF $50 had been made for boxes and their carriage
when the same only Cost So. In bill of ST. 40 for
paper SO 000 was profit; in bill of 5000 for

showed that $3.50 had been paid merely for
c0l0ring maps and charts much tor every red

coored them could earn $50 and $50 day. Be-
tween 500 and $500 had been paid to the daughter

Clerk for the future.
The Court that tried Weller for his infamous as
sault on Shriver fined him $40 for the offence on
Saturday. 1t was a great farce Shriver was com

went into Merrick's bedroom and took his gold
watch, worth $50, and the next morning was of by
the early cars. Another gentleman slept in Nler-

over $500 in gold in his pocket, and this the thefle
untouched. But with the gross carelessness that

boarding houses open al night, ii is great wonder
there are not more robberles.
Mr. Fox's Library is TO be sold this week. Ii con-

You see by the leader in the Madisonian about
Texas that il does not deny that Treaty mas beeu
drawn up and admits that II Is to be used as party
question at the next election against both Van Blu

Mr. Spencer is in bad odor here; and II the Presl-
dent knew how he could with decent face dismiss
| him. he would do so tomorrow. Mr. Tyler says ne

and has no confidence in his otice-hoders there. He
also adds that if they once get his wrath up, he will
dismiss MIR. Curtis Mr.. Graham, MIR. Stllwell, and
al under them. at one fell swoop,' as Macduf says
