J. NJ. Shaffer, the active and ener-

tural Society, in bis annual report

class ofstock than any other cross.
The hog stock market in 1871 was
declared superior to the stock Of any
previous year, the stock being supe-
rior both in shape aud weight. The
wheat crop OF the year is represented
as having been good, both in quality
and quantity, winter wheat particu-
larly successful. Corn and oats best
ever grown in tho State. The plant
ing Of fruit, ornamental and timt or
trees has been pract;ced more in
1871 than in any other yoar since
the settlement Of the State. s me
counties have planted timber t,ees
by the hundreds of thousands. The
immigration to the State is reported
as having been worry large. More

leans. The Englishmen expected to
be dealt with in IN honorable spirit,
and were too reliant on good inten-
tions-a fatal error in all business
transactions, to guard against which
lawyer is employed to meet lawyer
in the sternest disposition in every
case Of moment. Our Commissioner
left fatal loophole in the clause
which holds the words "without pre-
judice," and runs as follows: "That
in the hope of an amicable settlement
no estimate was made of the indirect
losses, without prejudice, however,
to the right Of indemnification on
their account in the event of no such
settlement being made" No lawyer
or business man would have allowed
even q fcw pounds to be at the mercy
of words so full of latitude for after
purposes. And we do not wonder at
the Americans using their own read.

An Enquirer special says that last
Friday night the tobacco factory of
Aver l. Bro, Sacramento, Mclean
Co, Ky, was fred by an incendiary
and bailding, containing 10000
pounds of tobacco, entirely consumed.
The entire town narrowly escaped
burning, as breeze from the north
carried embers hundreds of yards to
to the roofs of dwellings. Ono
Clark, who had quarrelled with
Aver, was arrested and placed under
guard to be examined tho next day.
During the night q masked party
broke into the room, overpowered
tho guard and took tho prisoner out.
Next morning Clark was found dead
at the foot of q tree. The coroner
rendered q verdict Of hanging by

A proposal is gradually gathering
shape to lay down another telegraph
cable between England and America,
to work at far cheaper rates than
those for which messages can now be
sent. Mr. J. Wagstaff BlundeIl, Of
Louuou, earertiscs iu the EngEsh
papers that preliminary prospectus
Of company to be formed with the
intention OF perfecting this result
will be forwarded on application.
Whatever may be the fate OF bis par
ticular project, it is certain that the
present high rates will infallibly
bring about competition sooner or
later.
A now license law advocated by
some politicians in Wisconsin is to
grant license to both sellers and
drinkers. Every man who drinks
must pay ten dollars tor license be.
fore he can get drink, and in order
to obtain this license O man must
have q bondsman who will be held
responsible for damage done by him
while in a state of intoxication.
1t has been judicialIy determined
by recent decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States, that the
beginning ftho late civil war bears
date of the proclamation of blockade,
April 18th, 1851 and that it terminal.

a San CASE.



This morning man was brought
from jail to the, Policc Court by
Chief Of Police, Smith. He had
lain in jail last night, drunk. On
being brought up, he was rather sur
prised to find that the Officer refused
to prosecute him. But on, being
told the reason, his surprise was
turned to grief and rage. The facts
are "a follows: Tho man who wal,
arr ested is respectable citizen Of
this city who was in falling love with
the flowing bowl. His wife is q gay
and dashing woman who loves but
too well the pleasures of society and
tho world. Last night at quite .
late hour she applied to the police
to arrest her husband, as che was
afraid Of him, and that she thought
q night in jail would sober him and
learn him good lesson for the tu-
ture. In obedience to this summons,
Captain Smith himself repaired to
the house, arrested the husband and
lodged him in Jail. A short time
after the officer returned to the
house to notify the wife to appear
at court in the morning rs witness,
and on rapping at the door he was
surprised to receive no answer, and
on going around to tho rear end Of
the house he was surprised to see a
man jump from the second story
window and flee up tho street. The
OFFICER GAVE CHASE
until near enough to identify the
fleeing Lothario, when he returned
to the house. The woman's dishab
| lille and excitement at his presence
convinced him Of her guilt. Their
the plot flashed on him. She haG
her husband arrested in order to gel
him out of the way to
| ADMIT A LOVER.
The husband was then too drunk tt
be released from the jail, 30 the of
ficer decided to wait until morning
and at court he refused to prosecute
the husband, and taking him to ont
side told him, as was his duty, of hi
betrayal and the name of the de
stroyer of his peace. The HUSBAND
left tho court with q firm resolve Il

await the result. But we xdvise tn,

One of the greatest public enter
prises undertaken of late years is the
building of the great suspension
bridge between New York and
Brooklyn, across East river. Work
upon this vast structure has now been
in progress for several months. The
bridge, when completed (Which will
probably be within the next four
years., will have an elevation of 118
feet above high water, in order to Of
fer no obstruction to even the largest
ships. Upon either shore will DO O
main tower, 2G8 feet high, which is
to sustain the main cables. These
great towers will be situated near
the shores of the river. The resp &C..
tive entrances to the bridge will be
situated some three or four blocks
from tho river on either side. The
work upon this structure has been
confined, so far, to building the two
towers. On the Brooklyn side it
was necessary to 60 to the depth of
AL feet to secure solid foundation.
On the New York side the task was
much more difficult, and it was only
at a depth of S0A feet that the firm
bedrock was resched-that subna-
rine spur of the Catskill mountains
upon which the island of Manhattan
is seated.
