CIRCUNsTANTIAL EvIDENCE.-The expert
ence of every day teaches us that however
strong they may be, no man should be
condemned on evidence of circumstances
alone. The following case bears strongly
on this point:
\ merchant of first standing in one of
our eastern cities, in settling at the desk
anaccount with a gentleman from thecou
try, paid him about four hundred dollars
IN bulls, which We're received and counted
by the stranger. The business was adius-
tel he placed his pocket-book in his pock-
ct, and left the counting room. In an
hour or Two the gentleman returned and
stated that he had lost the money. al
though he was confident that he had
placed 1t IN ms pocket-book. He had ia
ken the book out but in one place after
he lett the store, and then discovered that
the money was missing. The merchant
was surprised, and told him he must have
lost II elsewhere, as he was confident the
money had been received by the stranger.
ne suffering man now opened his pock-
et-book to exhibit its emptiness-the
merchant made like exhibition of his.
and both We're replaced. The loser now
declared that he had lost the money in
the store, Tor he could not have lost it else
where, and would not depart until he
found II. Again his Dockat-bo was
opened to show where he usually kent his
money-on the left side of the book-and
the merchant again opened his and re-
marked that he commonly kant his on the
opposite side. But what was the merch-
ants CONSERVATION on then Discovering
