is not probable that those who have been

selves to other pursuits Immediately, but
will continue to speculate as long as gold
remains at premium.
1t may be remarked that ''seatsn in the

indicates an excess of supply. The

\ paper published in Portage, Wis,
tells this story:
'The people of Wood county regard
George Hiles as something of a nuisance
in their county, and as he would not move
out Of his own accord, they hit upon a
novel expedient to get rid of him. The
county was not large enough to divide, so
Senator Webb procured the passage of a
bill attaching several towns in Jackson
county on to WOOd-JaCksOn county be-
ing large enough to divide without a vote
of the people. With the new towns thus
annexed to Wood, the latter county con-
tanned sufficient territory to divide without
a vote of the people. Thereupon asecond
bill was passed, dividing Wood, setting
back on TO jackson the towns which had
been detached, together with the town in
which Hiles resided; so he has moved out
of Wood county without knowing when
he did it. Strategy, my boy"

received money, but claims tn at it was a

made.
In Munyon's case the only witness yet
examined is John f. BrothertOn, of Lima.
He recommended Anderson, of the same
place, to apply to Mr.. Mungcn for the

Bihdley, Ohio, recommended Anderson's
son, and he was appointed. Three hundred
| dollars were paid TO BarlsOn and Brother

been summoned and will be here to-mor-
row. He will affirm BrothcrtOn's testi-
mOny, and the matter will drop.
