r 7 is known that ia June, 1914, opened my
81 first stock Of Drugs and bv reducing he prices
10 some considerable degree dole good hasi-
ness which increased daily, till thought best 10
ha"A a partner, who was good accountant md
book keeper. and in June 1916, Look Mr.. Peter
son IN business with Inc who is a good book
keeper. When we commenced according to MS es-
innate with some additions. his stock amounted to
some 8 $50, my STOCK was estimated at $4,000,
making in all $3.50, we continued business TO-
gcthcr until the 9lh Of November, 1917. when |
closed the store ana took possession cf the books
believing all was not right, we had sold drugs a.
mounting 10 over 51 COO at invoice or eastern pri-
ccs on which we had at least 81 l-2 per cent prof
it, which would show that our profits on this amt.
was over S ,625. but there were five men who in
vesgarod the subject. who not only find have no
nros bat have in addition, lost over 81 200 Of my
investment taking into view the fact that am out
over $500 collected OF debts due me before Pc
teson came in aud appropriated it in credits on my
account in firm looks, Sc. &c.
The business will be continued at the old stand
by Messrs Barlow s Meredith, where the public
will find pure and cheaper drugs BY from ten to III
teen per ceat than has ever been offered in this mar
ket ! am now employed al stipulated per cent
on the business; therefore in view Of my mistor-
tunes in being thus suddenly reduced to my present
sitaation may, I not hope in behalf ofmy employ
ers, and the. small interest have in the establish
ment, that not only my former patrons but others
will patronise the house, where every effort will be
used to please both in price ana quality. In con-
clusion, it is most confidently hoped and believed
that none will forsake the house but will aid for the
sake Of the small pittance get as compensation
The circumstances and causes that has brought
about my condition will in due time be exposed in
hand bill or in the newspapers. The causes are
pretty we'll understood in this vicinity already.

TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE.
Summary.


We received by telegraph, last evening,
brief synopsis of the speech delivered by Mr.
Webster, on the loan bill, in the Senate, yester-
day. Mr. w. Is represented as having been, on
this occasion, unusually eloquent and impressive
He occupied three hours time In the delivery Of
his remarks. Mr.. w. confined portion of his
speech to an elaboration Of the views before
expressed by him in some preliminary observa-
tions on the treaty, respecting the contemplated
acquisition of territory from Mexico He ex-
pressed his repugnance TO the measure in forcl-
be language; and, in illustration of one of its
evils, stated that the Mexican territory proposed
to be acquired would, with the State of Texas,
be capable Of subdivision into seven States, and
thus be entitled to furnish fourteen members to
the Senate, from population of only 200 ,O0O.
lie regarded this inequality Of representation as
calculated to eneender the most serious conse-
quepces to the Union-and he enlarged upon its
fatal results with great power and emphasis.
Mr.. flanagan has the floor for to-day, when the
other side of the question will, doubtless, also
receive able exempliication. In the House, the
appropriation bill was discussed, and PROPOSE
ton made and agreed to, that the arrears of pay
due d. ceased members should be paid to their
widows.
The Legislative proceedings, market reports,
&c., will be found below.
