LEGAL TENDER. The law regulating the
payment of debts with coin provides that the
following coin be legal tender
|. All gold coin at their respective
values, for debts of any amount.
2. The half dollar, quarter dollar, half
dime and quarter dime, at their respective
values, for debts of any amount under five
dollars.
3. Three cent pieces for any amount under
thirty cents; and
4. By the law passed at the last session of
Congress, we may add, one cent pieces for
any amount under ten cents.
BY the law of Congress, passed some four
or five years ago, gold was made the legal
tender for large amounts. Those who, to
get rid of large quantities of cents and small
coin, sometimes pay their bills with it, to
the annoyance of the creditor, will perceive
that there is stoppage to that antic by the
law Y. Economist.

another wife in New York, and informed him
most cmphaiicaliy that he could not live with
his sister any longer, and that he must leave the
house. Gilleti denied having another wife at
first, very Indignantly, but finally acknowledged
that he once had been married, but had been
divorced. The bill of divorce could not be pro.
duced, however, and Gilleti became furious, but
was still denied shelter in the house. lie. then
informed them that if he could not live with his
wife, "therc would he blood shed before morn

a moment, which request was granted him and
he with his wife, entered an adjoining room.
he drew a dirk and attempted to stab her in the
breast. She escaped to the other room, and her
brother then secured GiIlett and locked him in
