Swiss LAW FOR COLLECTING DEBT. -
Among the customs which would seem
TO remain unchanged since the Oath
of Grutli. must be reckoned the mode IN
which distraint for debt is managed in
Canton SchywZ. On judgment being
delivered, the officer of the court repairs
to the debtor and effects the distraint.
This is done in accordance with form
which provides that household goods are
the last to be touched, anything else
which can be found about the dwelling
being primarily liable. The articles thus
taken possession of are valued by the
legal appraiser, and when their amount
is ascertained to be sufficient to satisfy
the claim, they are sent off bodily to the
creditor, no attempt being made to con-
vert them into money by sale at auction
or otherwise.
It need perhaps hardly be added that
such a system is rot very popular among
creditors. A Lucerne tailor having sued
a well-to-do Schwyzer for 40 francs,
was surprised to receive, one morning,
per steamer, two old portable stoves.
Another creditor recently received an
old carritge, in lieu of the interest on a
mortgage: and a third was accOmmO-
dated with a load of stone, in answer to
his demand for payment. 1t is also re-
ported that a doctor, resident in canton
Zurich, sued a man in SchwyZ, and was
awarded a quantity of manure. Angry
at this mode of payment, he emptied the
stuff in a neighboring stream, and for
this act of contempt of court was duly
fined. It was doubtless wrong TO dcfile
the stream, yet one cannot wholly re-
frain from sympathizing with the en-
ragged doctor. -Slrjss Times.

squandered in this country In disap-
pointed pursuit of pleasure, and we look
upon the decrease of custom at fashion
able seaside resorts, and among the
mountains as an suspicious sign of re-
turning reason in the people not that
we disapprove of relaxation from labor,
or of the qualification of a patriotic de-
sire to gain strength by communion with
different localities of our grand and
varied scenery, but because in this recre-
alton and relaxation people have united
with it costly social extravagances and
cultivation of caste and the development
of a mushroom aristocracy, incompatible
with the genius of free institutions.
But small proportion of the forty
millions of people of this great country
can take summer vacation. and taste
the ioys of trip across the continent,
breathe the bracing atmosphere of the
white mountains, plunge into the surg
ing waves of old ocean, flirt at Newport,
gamble at Saratoga or kill mosquitoes at
Paul Smiths. And still we believe that
the recreation and enjoyment CT these
stay-at-hOmes, who never travel hun
bred miles for pleasure, is as keen and
satisfactory as any that mortal can OBJ
tain. If the weary merchant or tired
mechanic or professional man, who de-
sires to get away from the cares and
perplexity of his everyday life will
avoid the usual route of tourists and ad-
venturers, quietly pass out into the
country only a short distance, where at
some peaceful farm house, free from
tho din Of machinery or the rumble OF
wheels, he can recline under the pure
canopy of heaven and drink in the
melody of birds and the inspiration of q
communion with nature in her silent re-
treats, he will find more relaxation, and
a faster recuperation of wasted energies,
than in a jostling, busy scramble for
pleasure among the crowd of adventur-
ers that infest the usual routes and the
usual resorts.
This simple, natural way of taking a
summer vacation brings, refreshment,
takes less preparation, less WEAKNESS of
travel, costs less, and is followed by more
satisfactory results. We are told that
it has been gradually gaining favor for
few years past, until now we believe it is
the occasion of marked diminution in
the throng that visit the accustomed
haunts This change in the methods of
easure-seeking, if it becomes general,
will ruin some places, and vast number
of adventures and gamblers will find
their occupation gone; but it will restore
to us considerable simplicity of manners
and habits it will preserve untarnished
some of the best elements of our man
hood, and render unpopular the cox
combs and firts who make the fashion
able summer resorts tne field of theil
useless labors, in striving to deceive hon
est people into an admiration of theil
worthlessness. Let us seek some ration
al recreation that will give the gamblers
and cOurtesans an opportunity to rest al
the same time.

MISUNDERSTANDING.

BY standing for an hour on the plat
form of railway station and seeing the
heavily-loaded passenger trains 90 buzz
zing by, bearing their loads of pleasure
seekers from the crowded cities and
marts of commerce and manufactures,
to the woods, the springs and the noun
tains, we begin to doubt the truthfulness
of the complaints that daily reach us,
from the watering places and summer
resorts, that the pleasure-seekers are
much less numerous this season than in
the immediate past, and that the large
establishments that have been fitted up
for the accommodations of summer
boarders and summer travel, and been a
large source of income to their owners,
are this year nearly deserted and being
run at loss. But judging from what
we see in the public prints and hear
from those who know, we have no doubt
that the army, who flock to the country
for recreation and pleasure, is largely be-
low the average this summer.
The signs OF the times are fast setting
in the direction of greater economy of
expenditure, both public and private,
and the people who insist that the ma
chinery of government must be run with
less money, at the same time diminish
the expense of their private establish
ments. We always favor strict econ
omy, at all times, and nothing delights
us more than to see the man of wealth
and power live among his neighbors of
lesser means as one of them, adopting
the simple habits and manners of an Am
erican citizen who acknowledges the
primal equality taught by our free in
stltutions. There can be no doubt but
millions of dollars have been annually

Portsmouth is one of the most agreeable

catch glimpses of the ocean, and inhale
its cool and invigorating breezes. we

great shoe metropolis of this nation, the

We take the steamer Appledore, and
are fairly on our way to the Isles OF

tortuous channel of the Piscataqua, with
New Hampshire ON one side and Maine
on the other, passing Kittery navy yard,
and launching upon the open sea. Moth

down the harbor; but when few miles
out we are suddenly envelOped in dense

the market has a dull tone. For prime

This makes the excess Of the receipts
this year, from June to last Monday,
1874, 154 boxes more than they were for
the same period last year; and the eX-
ports so, 407 boxes more. This excess is
attributable to two cause.-the increase
of factories in the Northwest and the
sale of cheese closer to the press.
The receipts in Boston for the week
have been 2,549 boxes and ton. Fine
factory cheese continues scarce, and for
lots of the right kind 13i@14c. have
been obtained; but most of the stock
arriving sells at 11@124c. per h., includ-
ing fair to good Western, New York and
Vermont. The market is firm and will
be likely to maintain present prices.
The exports from New York last week
were over 5,000,000 lbs.
The receipts at New York for the
week ending Saturday last were SO, 600
boxes, and the exports were 71,412
boxes. The cable was Cos. Gold closed
at 1154, and the highest quotation for
cheese was 134. For the corresponding
week last year the receipts were 81, 987
boxes, and the exports were 60, 095 bxs.
The cable was SOS. Gold closed at 1863,
and the highest quotation for cheese
was 1870.
The Producers Price Current says of
the last weeks market:
The market has been in a far less sat
tisfactory condition this week. Stock
has arrived very freely and the export
demand has fallen off seriously. The
recent advance is thought to have been
shrewdly contrived by the leading ship
pers they bought heavily about two
weeks ago, largely for future delivery
under these operations the market be-
came excited and prices advanced; the
advance here produced an improvement
in England, enabling these operators to
realize good profits. AT the advanced
rates here they have done very little
leaving outside shippers to pay well for
their stock, which further tends to keep
up the market on the other side. 1t is
doubtless true that very large part of
the cheese that has arrived here during
the last two weeks has not been sold at
the quoted rates, but was delivered on
contracts at much lower figures. The
arrivals of the week have steadily accu-
INFLATED on the hands of receivers, there
being far more sellers than buyers. To-
day stock that win bear earring over in

CHEESE.

At Utica, on Monday, the representa-
ton of both buyers and sellers was large,
and the offers could not have fallen short
of 5000 boxes. But nobody wanted to
buy bad enough to offer prices at which
anybody was willing to sell. About /, 200
boxes, however, changed hands at 100
1890. Offers of 1890 were made for
some of the leading factories, and re-
fused. One offer of 13c was reported, and
one factory (the Weeks had an offer of
135c, to remain good until Tuesday NOR
ming.
The stagnation of the market is at
tributed to the heavy receipts of Ameri-
can cheese in England, which has glut-
ed the market and frightened buyers,
putting the cable back 5s., with fears of
a further decline. In view of this argu-
ment, we give thereceipts and shipments
for June and July this year, as compar-
ed with the same time last year;
