Andrew Anderson, for six years success
full miner of this Territory, and who, last
spring, sold out his interest in Lincoln gulch
for $4,000, and left for the States, recently
had quite an adventure among the "roughs"
of Madison, Wisconsin. While passing
down one of the streets of that city, early
one evening, he was arrested by two men
who claimed to he guardians Of the city, and
who uncercmoniously tied bis hands behind
his back and started with him for an unfrc.
quented part of the city. Andrew soon came
70 the conclusion that things were not alto
gether right. and he called loudly for help.
The would-be policemen kindly knocked the
unfortunate man down and relieved him of
$3.50 in currency and $2 600 in gold-all he
had on his person at the time As soon rs
possible the police of the city were put upon
the track Of the robbers, and, with the aid
of the telegraph. succeeded in capturing
them in small town hard by, together with
every cent Of the money they had taken
from the Montanian. Andrew wishes he was
again in this Territory. .. .... ..

The Mccullough Iron Co., have COM
pleted their new rolling mill here, and put
it in operation. The old mill has been
overhauled and thoroughly repaired and
improved. The floor has been raised by
filling in, a new water wheel and two sets
of new rolls with other necessary ma
clinery put in, and the MILL is i'll eff
feet intirely renewed. The Company S
Octoraro works consist now Of two OF the
finest and most powerful sheet mills in the
county. The uneXampled drouth has
lowered the water so i'll the creek that there
is not a sufficient supply to drive both mills
to their full capacity, although the Octoraro
is one of the heaviest water powers in the
county, With the enlargement of their
iron works the Company have been COM
PEELED to make corresponding improvements
in dwellings for their operatives, and are
building four double stone houses for that
purpose. The Messrs. Mcdowell have the
contract for putting up the stone work.
Christie Il Co., are repairing their
flour mill here, by putting i'll turbine
wheel in place of the old fashioned over
shot wooden Wheel and adding new pow
er packer so that when completed, their
mill will be one of the best in the county.
The corn crop, Notwithstanding the
1attering prospect early in the season of a
very heavy yield, has been considerably
shortened in this as in all other parts of
the county, by the long drought. The po-
tato and apple crops are large, and the
products of fine quality.
The p. & B. C. r. X. Company have
erected small freight house and depot at
this station, to serve, we presume, as a
temporary arrangement, with the intention
of future enlargement. Rowlandsville will
doubtless be point of considerable trade
and travel at no distant day, requiring IA
cilities much greater than those at present
provided by the Company.

WasHin1t0n, Sent. 18th, 1869. \


Sir Your letter of the Goth ult.. enclos-
ing that of Joseph Miller, of the same
date, has been received.
1t is stated that GA is paper maker
\ employs B, and d to collect and buy
rags, to be manufactured by him into paper,
they furnishing their own teams. B, c
and D buy nothing else, and are paid one
cent per fb. advance for their time and the
use of their teams;'' and you then say,
''The point to be decided is, are B, c and
d. peddlers ?"
reply that under the foregoing state
ment, no liability to special tax as peddler,
is incurred PedGilers are persons who
travel about from place to place, i'll the
town, or through the country, selling, at
retail. goods, wares, and other commodi-
dities, and the mere fact of purchasing
such commodities when travelling around
from one place to another, renders no per-
son liable as peddler, even though he may
purchase them for another person for a
commission, or may sell the same by the
quantity or load, to one person, when he
may have gathered that amount in the man.
ner stated.
ANY person who makes it his business to
negotiate purchases of goods, wares, of
merchandise, i. e. to make the contracts
for the purchase of such merchandise which
is afterwards to be forwarded by the seller,
or delivered by him to the purchaser, is a
commercial broker within the meaning of
the law, and should be required to pay a
special tax of $50 per annum, as such but
in the cases submitted, it would seem that
the parties do not merely negotiate pur-
chases, but actually buy the rags which
are delivered into their possession, and
they are not, therefore, considered to be liza
BILE to any special tax, either as peddlers or
as commercial brokers by reason thereof
If, however, the title to the property i'll
the rags becomes vested in the purchasers,
and they then sell the same at any fixed
place, they should be regarded as dealers,
and be required to pay tax as such if their
sales exceed 81, 900 per annum.
