LOCAL NOTICES.

PADDoCK's BANK NOTE MIRRoR.-Mr. G.
w. Williams, the agent for this business
mans friend" called on US yesterday, book
ed US for another year, and left with us cop
les of Paddock's Gold and Silver Coin
Chart Manuel" and his " Mirror Descrip-
tons of all Genuine Bank Notes." Mr.. Viii
liams informs US that he has had capital
success in our city in renewing old subscri-
bers and obtaining new ones. This we were
not surprised at, for Paddock has become in
manner necessity, and business men as
much calculate on renewing their suhscrip-
tions when their year is up, as they would
to lay in new supply Of flour when the
stock on hand became exhausted. In these
times, when banks are going under in every
| direction, it becomes men to keep posted
and as experience is a dear school, it is best
for all willing to learn in any other, to sub.
scribe for Paddock's Mirror.

C1RcUIr CoURr-The April term Of the
Circuit Court commenced on Monday last,
Judge Parrett presiding. The Grand Jury
was sworn, and the charge delivered to
them on the same day, since which time
they have been busy in investigating VIOLA
tious of the law and finding indictments;
they will probably be in session the re-
uainder of the week. Very little has been
done in Court during the past three days
Of its sitting, except the taking of defaults,
arguing demurers, and trying two or three
cases appealed from justices Courts. 1t is
due to the County Treasurer that the bust
ness of the Courts be pushed through as rap
idly as justice 10 litigants and the ease of at
torneys viii permit. This Court has an al
most unlimited time to remain in session
by law, but may adjourn in three or foul
weeks. The plumber of cases on the docket
is larger than for several previous terms
but the amount of business, we are inform
ed, is not much greater than usual.

PAY AS You eo.-During one of the ses-
sions Of Congress, when the House of Rep
resentatives seemed to have nothing in par
ticuIar before it, the eccentric John RAN
dolph arose, and in his squeaking tones ex-
claimed; Mr.. Speaker, have discovered
the way to get rich; it is, pay as you CO. %
and took his seat. Our friend J. S. HOPKINS
has returned from the East, where he laid
in stock of beautiful goods, and he pro.
poses to test the virtue of Randolph's dis
eovery, by having his customers pay as they
go, in order that they may profit by tha
/ genteman's sagacity.

IMPORTANT CHANGE IN THE LAw.-Quite
an important change has been made by the
last Legislature, in reference to the testi-
mony of witnesses in the Courts Of this
State. Under the new law, in most cases,
the plaintiffs and defendants are all compe-
tent witnesses on theiE own behalf. The
Circuit Court, now in session, in this city
is practicing under this change. This prac-
tice has been followed for several years in
several of the United States, and in England,
1t is, we believe, en- undecided question
among loungers as to the propriety of this
change in the long established practice o.
the Courts, In many cases it viii, without
doubt, promote the ends Of Justice, but very
often, we fear, it viii lead to perjury and
defeat the rights of honest and truthful
parties.

For the past six or seven months Mr..
Barton Il. jerks, Of this city, has been
making preparations 10 commence the
manufacture Of the celebrated Enfield ri
fes, at his establishment in Bridesburg,
for the Government. The preparations
have not yet been fully consummated, but
Mr.. jerks expects to commence making
the weapons about the first Of January.
The requisite machinery is now being ar
ranged for the purpose. It is unique in
character, and from this fact, as also from
its accuracy Of parts and adjustment, is
very costly. We reserve for another issue
description Of the method Of its opera.
tlen. so'Egls 91 o.
We were shown yesterday the compOn-
ent parts Of one Of the rifles, which had
been neatly arranged in q cushioned case.
They are seventy. Eve in number, and each
Of them requires Eepsrate machine for
its turning out. The necessity of accurate
machinery is hence manifest without
which the division Of labor would be like.
ly to prove costly economy. The rifle,
when put together, rarely needs modihca-
tion, The stock is u.ade Of walnut being
frst sawed out Of plank, and then turned
by lathe. ID
The steel of which the barrel consists Is
Imported from Europe. It is calculated
! that after the first Of January two hundred
of the rifles Osn be turned out per day,
furnishing employment to nine hundred
men. The bsyonets are not made by Mn
jerks. They we're being made at Messrs,
LsWson's factory, in GermRrtoW prior ta
the destruction Of that building by fire,
which occurred few weeks since. 1t il
now being rebuilt, and the manufacture oi
the bsyonets will be resumed in about tive
weeks.
The works of the Messrs. jerks are
among the most extensive in the State,
They have been located at Bridesburg
since the year 1890 Previous to the
breaking out Of the rebellion their fullest
capacities were devoted to the manufacture
Of cotton and WoOlen machinery. They
will now be largely employed in turning
ont the munitions Of war for months Il
come. a4
The main building, four hundred feet il
length, has been Increased in dimensions
by the addition Of stone building, thirty
feet long, at its northern extremity.-PhiI

The Union spirit is evidently awakening.

The President will send message to the

Great Britain, which will be considered in

A rumor is sfost that the Government

but we are satisfied that this is untrue.
The Africa will carry to England dis
patch from Lord Lyons, containing little
