The HUcKsTERIEG LAw.-Last week we
published the Huckstering Law as we found
it in one of our exchanges, and we presumed
that the copy was correct, but we have since
been informed, authoritatively, thatthe bill we
published was copy of the original bin read
In place instead of the one passed by the
Legislature. We have made the correction
and present it now in a corrected form TO
our readers
