WEIGHTS AND MEAsuREs-T The law of
OHIO, regulating weights and measures was
somewhat changed at the last session Of the
legislature, but only so as to effect the two
articles of coke and lime. As the law was
passed and now stands, il rcads-when ever
the following articles are sold, aud no special
agreement as TO the measure Is made by the
contracting parties, the bushel shall consist OF
the following weights, lin pounds to-wii
Wheat sixty rye SO ; corn in ear seventy
oats thirty-three clover seed sixty.two
timothy seed iorty.dve hemp seed forty -four;
millet seed fifty buckwheat fifty beans
sixty peas sixtyi hominy sixty Irish po-
tatocs sixty; sweet potatoes fifty dried
peaches thirty-three dried apples twenty. ve;
fax seed fifty-six; barley iorty-eisht malt
thirty-lour Hungarian grass seed fifty
In Connecticut, there is appointed at each
annual town meeting. Sealer of weights and
measures, whose duty it is 10 test the scales
and measures OF all dealers in the town or vii
lage. Thus the people have some guaranty OF
. the fairness of the weights and measures used
by grocers and other merchants and justice
being done in the business transaction of the
community. This would seem to be whole
some arrang 5ment and we would call the at
tention of our municipal authorities, to the
matter, and for an ordinance for tbs appoint
ment of like officer, 1t would certainly
seem to be necessary if what we are told he
true. One Of our tinmen, gives us a fact in
point lie assures us that he has put three
successive new bottoms upon the same gallon
measure for one of our grocers ! Should no
attention be paid to this thing, and the bottom
ing process go on the gallon of molasses from
that measure would probably get down to "a
couple OF quarts. One such fact shows The
demand for protection tor the rights Of the
D-onlp
