We have been requested to call the attention Of
the public to law passed at December session.
1s4l, in relation to the circulation of corporation
or individual notes. By which law the second Sec
ton provides, that any person offering to pay out
circulate any promssory bill, order, evidence of
debt, other paper security, shall pay for each Of
fence the sum of $40. And section third provides
that any merchant or ordinary keeper receiving or
circulating any of said notes, renders himself liable
to the suppression of his license. This law does
not affect the circulation of stock orders of the Bal
timore and Ohio, and Annapolis and Elkridge rail.
road companies, nor of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal company, nor any Bank issues. We believe
that there are some of these notes in circulation in
our county, and that many are ignorant of there
being such a law.

OREGON-THE NoTIcE.-The following re-
solutions were adopted by the House of Represen-
tatives on Monday the 9th inst, by vote of 1913
yeas to Sd nays:
Resolved &c., That the President of the United
States cause notice to be given to the Government
of Great Britain, that the convention between the
United States of America and Great Britain in re-
lation to the Territory of the Northwest Coast,
west of the Stony or Rocky Mountains, of the sixth
day of August, 1927. signed at London, shall be

RESOLVED, That the notice herein contained, is
not intended to interfere with the right and discre-
ton of the proper authorities of the two contract
ing parties to renew pursue negotiations for an
amicable settlement Of the controversy respecting
the Oregon territory.
In the Senate of the U. S. on Tuesday the 10th,
the Oregon question came up for discussion, and
Mr.. ALLEN, of Ohio, led the way in speech of a
warlike character, which he concluded on We'd
nesday. On Thursday, Mr.. J. NJ. CLAYTON de-
vered speech in which he plead against the folly
and sinfuness of war most eloquently. The Sc
nate then adjourned over till Monday, the 10TH
Thus evincing disposition not to act hastily upon
this important question.

Gus reading. 1t is needless to speak of its Editor

gems both in prose and His contributors are

DEATH OF DR.. J. c. JENIFER.-The following
tween DIR. Jenfer and DR.. Grant, which terminated
in the death of DIR. j., taken from the st. He
lena (Arkansas) Star. 1t will, at least be conso-
ing to the bereaved relatives of the deceased to learn
that, although in strange land and far from their
ministering aid, he was among friends who afforded
him every assistance and relief whilst the spark Of
life lasted and was both loved and esteemed 'On
Tuesday, the Goth of January, about noon, rem
contre occurred in this place between Doctors John
C.. Jenifr and Henry M. Grant, in which the form
er was shot in the abdomen the ball perforating
the intestines, and severing, it is supposed the
descending aorta below the diaphragm, causing his
death in few minutes. The occurrence is one
which is to be deeply regretted; for by it society
has been deprived of one of its most useful men,
bers, the medical profession of one of its brightest
ornaments, and his circle of friends of one who ne
yer failed to impart life and animation to it. Dr.
Jenfer had resided in this place and vicinity since
1886; and within that time, by his amiable and
gentlemanly department, his pleasant and soothing
manners, his benefcent and kind heart, had won for
eSLeetIi, OF the
community in which he lived, and had drawn to
himself scores of friends who now weep over his
grave in silent but sincere grief 1t will not be thot
amiss in us, we, hope, to say that the unfortunate
difficulty which terminated in the death of DR.. j.
originated in professional misunderstanding be-
tween himself and DIR. G., and one, too, which
could have qeen adjusted had the facts been COM
municatcd to their mutual friends. In making this
remark, we do SO without impugning the conduct of
either gentleman on the occasion our motives for
doing SO being intended a moral for those who
may read this article. We refrain from an express
sion in relation to the facts connected with the a
fair, as they undergoing judicial investi-
cation, Dr. Grant having given himself up to the
civil authorities Immediately after the occurrence
It may be consoling to the friends of DIR. Jenifer
in Maryland to know that, though the Doctor died
remote from them and the scenes of his early child
hood, he died among friends who afforded every as
sstance and relief whilst the spark of life lasted
and did not abondon him even in death, for his body
was attended to the grave, notwithstanding the in
clemency of the weather. by the largest attendance
of mourning friends that we have witnessed since
our sojourn in Arkansas"
