Ordained.-Rev. Mr.. Fessenden was or
dained on Sunday last. pastor Of St. James

The amended U. s. Revenue Laws making

cigars or snuff to apply to the Collector for spe-
cial tax stamp which Is to be kept posted con-
spcuously in his place OF business. Dealers
had better take notice.
Willows -Messrs. DUPONT Il Co., will give
nine dollars per cord for peeled branch willow
wood, and $3.50 for unpeeled, at their yard on
the brandywine, as may be seen by reference

leaves are coming forth.

MIR. Alaris Is one of the most exemplary men

harmless at his feet. He has filled various DO

honors In reserve for him.

last weeks pager seems TO have been msunder-
stood. did not intend TO convey the impress
sion that those who get up that petition or tho
signers of 1t, intended to publish falsehood,
but rather that IT they had investigated the
subject they would have found the facts as
stated.
am very well aware of the prejudice against
"carpet baging' yankees, but l hope that 90
years residence In q state where 1 expect to
spend the remainder of my days, will make
such record that, when have passed over
the river it will be aid that the state is not the
worse for my having been resident thereof.
j. A. BROWN.
A suit was recently brought by resident of
Philadelphia named Scull, aga inst the Kensing.
ton Bank, TO recover the value of 80 Upited
States bonds, of$l000 each that were stolen
from the vault of tho bank by burglars q year or
two ago. The bank resisted on the ground that
1t was not responsible for the safety of private
boxes deposited In its vault. The Court appear
ed to lean good deal toward this view, but the
jury rendered verdict for the plaintiff for the
full amount of his loss. This case has attracted
considerable attention among the banks, and it
seems to establish responsibility which most
of them do not care to assume.
