ed.t A letter was written to Mr.. Astor signed with
the fictitious name of E. r. Eastwood, threatening
that if fifty thousand dollars was not paid over by a
certain day, and in certain manner, himself and all
his family would be murdered. Other letters, Were
written to Mrs. Astor containing similar threats. In
stead of treating the matter with contempt, as most
people would have done, Mr.. Astor handed the let
ters to the Chief of Police, who found no difficulty
in detecting the foolish fellows who wrote the letters,
and catching them in their own trap. He caused
package of worthless bank notes to be delivered de-
manded by the persons who wrote, the threatening
letters and arrested them when they applied for the
package. The offence is punishable by imprison-,
ment in the State Prison. Poor fellows! they ought
rather to be indicted for lack of brains. The " plot
was stupid, blunderng abortion. In the first place.
the conspirators did know the character of the
from whom they attempted to extort money. Had
they searched the Union, they could not have made
more unwise selection. All their arrangements
for receiving the money positively fatuitous.
They took infinite pains build trap for them
selves, and then walked into it with their eyes open.

PEACHES. A gentleman handed us yesterday the
following, which may be of service to some of our
readers. friend of mine has just informed me of
the success he met with by the application of char
coal to peach trees. "A few years ago he had some
fine peach trees in his garden, which invariably had
wormy fruit and the trees were full of gum. When
the fruit was about the size of marbles, he had the
earth removed from each about, two feet round and
three inches deep, and filled with charcoal The re-
suit that the fruit grew to fine size, free from
worms and every year since the fruit has been good,
and the trees became healthy and free from gum,
while two left without the charcoal continue to
bear wormy fruit, and are unhealthy. Mobike Iirib7

a new tariff bill on the basis of the wing

fact which we find in the report of the

the annual average was $23, ,20S, 81

bont two years. From the LIST of Decem-
Der 1916 to the ,30h of September last
one year and ten months-therc accrued

it. The stock, we believe, is all taken, yet
any person may deposit for safekeeping,
any amount Of money. and when the sum
reaches Five Dollars, it will bear interest
Deposits in any other Bank bear no inter-

Institution may be made invaluable-to

Great Britain, especially in the Emerald
Isle, the same glorious spirit pervades the
great masses. The Queen upon her throne

ployed her hired soldiery to force into sub.

blow in freedoms battle. The success
of the wing party in the United States
affords their tory sympathisers i'll England,
a reasonable hope to believe that theRepub-

BUYING AND SELLING PRODUCE.

Important Decision.-In an action for
damages jus, decided in Washington CO.,
Md Cour,, two points are settled in re-
icrence TO The buying and selling of pro.
duce. The cause was that Of HORNE a.
gainst Long, for breach Of contrac, in re-
tusing to deliver corn and -four, the latter
alleging that he had been imposed upon by
the former with false news. A verdict
was given for the defendant, and the points
settled, according to the HagerstownNews,
arc -
Fsrst.-The purchaser may be in pos
session Of the news ola rise in prices, and
the seller may be ignorant thereof, yet any
contract entered into between them, with
out misrepresentation being made to the
seller by the purchaser, is valid contract,
and binding in every respect. Thus, if the
seller asks no questions, the buyer is not
bound to impart his superior information
land the contract thus made between
them is good one.
Secoad.-lf the purchaser be in posses
sion Of news and is questioned in refer
ence thereto by the seller, he is not privi-
legged to deny his possession thereof, or to
mlsrepresent the same, and to do SO with
"A view to draw the other into contract a.
verse to his interests, is fraud which will
siiiate the contract and render il Of non
effect, for the law defines fraud as being the
concealment or presentation of a ma
,erial fact, by which party is lulIed into
u false confidence or induced TO forego in
curry necessary to the protection of his in
terests. From this it is not, however, to
be inferred that the purchaser, even when
Questioned, is bound to communicate his
information TO the seller. He is only re-
quired not 10 conceal the fact ofihis being
'posled," and not TO nisrepresent, or be
guilty ofialsehood with reference to the
information he has in his possession. With
this information we think our readers will
hereafter know the ground upon which
they stand when entering into contracts
of this character.
The counsel for plaintiff at once moved
for new trial, which if not granted, the
case will probably, be taken up to the Court
of Appeals.
