crrors are ee1pensiyeness, -hanaedness, and he
is restless, aud sometimes cratic. Ho will not
work continuously, but gets tired after 8 time,

the stock is dated Feb. 20. Nelson thought he

Dillon, WHOM Brooks had just introduced to
him. Ho says he paid for those 80 shares OF

ceipt. Nov, when Ham testihed,--nnd he was
backed up BY .be cash-booE,-we find out that
those SO shares we're not paid for until March
II, 1868. The inference is, that, with such d.
versity of dates, tho whole thing had the frailty
