most necessary to publish a manual Of
its growth at least twice year in order
to offer anything like reliable gazette

gress, there is now total OF 60,S52
miles of railroads in the United States,
costing in round numbers $4,000, 0,0U0,-

land this year, it is said that the cold
winds, hail storms, floods or rain, aud u
severe frost iu May, have partially ruin
ed fruit prospects, blackened the potato
plant, and so nipped the leaves of the
wheat plants that they have withercd
and become yellow, giving to the crops
more sickly appearance than the real-

favorable to permanent pasture, artiG-
cial grasses, beans, tares, covers, oats
and other food for animals. 1t has

FROM the official statement of the
internal revenue Office it is evident that
the consumption of spirits In the United
States is simply enormous. The number
of distillories at work il 2l5. Their
daily capacity is 217,6S2 gallons, and
their yearly 65,804, 900 gallons. Com
putting the voting population to be
100000, this would be over a third of
pint of spirits per day for each male
adult in the United States. But as
many person do not drink, it is safe to
estimate that every moderate drinker
drinks his half pint Of whisky per day,
to say nothing Of gin, brandy. wine and
beer. Besides, the above estimate does
not take into account the quantity OF
spirits of Illicit manufacture, which, in
spite OF the utmost vigilance, is large.
especially in the great cities and wild
regions of county. The whisky dealers
estimate of the entire annual product of
the country has generally been about
S0,000,000 of galous. The exporta-
tion is comparatively limited, and is
principally to France and eastern Europe
and Asia. From France the product
comes back to us il the shape of brandy,
some OF it of poor enough quality. If
the pro6uct is sustained at its present
rate, spirits will yield the Government
revenue of over $3.50, ,C0ePr day, or
nearly ly 500 100000 per annum.

THE PHtsJuy Dispatch says: Hart
ley. the Democratic candidate for Au-
ditor General, was known throughout
the whole war as friend to the rebel
catise. He sympathized with it, and on
every occasion took pains to let it be
heard of all men that he wished the
South to succeed. He was 60 out
spoken in his treason that Gen. Couch
arrested him for giving aid and comfort
to the traitors. Yet this is the man
placed on the Democratic ticket for the
responsible position of Auditor General.
The people of the good, patriotic old
Commonwealth are asked to support
and elect him. Will they do it? Can
they do it with the knowledge that,
while the soldiers of Pennsylvania were
fighting to save the Union from destruc-
tion, this man remained at home using
what influence lie possessed in behalf OF
the rebellion? This of itself was COM
meodation to the Democratic Conven-
tiou hence his nomination.

FOURTH OF july - The day passed
off very quite in this place, and save the
firing of the eudgeon at day break ani
few drunlou brawls, no one would
have ever thought it was the Fourth
There was a fight at the lower end OF
town in the evening which resulted in a
badly damaged face to one of the per-
Elephants, and case before Squire
Mead, for assault and battery for the
others, warrant was issued for four
men engaged in the row, only two of
whom could be found ; these two were
committed to Jail in default of $500
bail each. Jack T. Shute's balloon
ascension in the evening was the Only
thing which would lead one to think
that we we're in the land of freedom and
fourth of July's. The balloon ascension
was a grand success, and much credit is
due Mr. Shute for this success. The
band went to Centreville during the day,
to attend picnic, and only returned in
time to play for the balloon ascension.
BUSINESS LAw.-The following brief
complication of business law is worth a
careful preservation, as it contains the
essence of large amount of legal ver-
biage:
1t is not legally necessary to say on a
note "for value received"
A note made on Sunday is void
Contracts made on Sunday cannot be
enforced.
A note by minor is void.
A contract made with minor is void.
A contract made with a lunatc is
void.
A note obtained by fraud, or from
person in state of intoxication, cannot
be collected.
Notes bear interest only when so
stated.
Principals are responsible for the acts
of their agents.
Each individual in a partnership is
responsible for the whole amount of the
debts of the firm.
Ignorance of the law excuses no one.
1t is fraud to conceal fraud.
The Law cOmpels no one to do impos-
sibilities.
An agreement without consideration
is void.
Signatures made with lead pencil
are good in law.
A receipt for money is not always con-
elusive.
The acts of one partner bind all the
rest.

In every case, the regular Republican

it is alledged by Greeley supporters there
is detection in the Republican ranks,

And that the reverse is the condition of
affairs. There never was SO little real
dissatisfaction among the Republican
masses of Pennsylvania as is the case in
the campaign pending. The dissatisfac-
tion Of played-out political adventures
is no evidence of Generalization among

time reduced taxation to the enormous
amount of sl49, 900, 900, and also made
the peace expenses of the Government
