IMPORTANT DEcIsIoN.-An important YER.
dict in favor of the government was obtained
last week in case in the u S. Circuit Court at
Boston, Judge Shepley presiding. in which
General Hall, Collector of Waldoboro Customs
District, has been the principal mover. In
1869 the government was beaten in a case
brought by Mr.. Odiorne of Boston against the
Collector at Salem, and the treasury depart
ment acquiesced in the verdict. During the
summer OF 1870, the Boston importers under
took to bring the same article (bituminous coai)
into RocklaDd under the designation of .culm
of COAL" whereby the government would be
the loser at the rate of one dollar in gold per
ton. To this classification General Hall OBJ
jected, collected the higher rate of duty, and
contested the matter with the importers be-
fore the treasury department, and finally re-
ceived the approval of the department. III his
course, which also rescnded its approyal of tbe
verdict OF the court in the Salem case Last

Secretary of the Treasury in CoilectoI
Halls case This suit was tried last
week at length as above stated, re-

The Weather Clerk,

Despite the fact that "Old Prob now and
then makes mistake in his predictions that
a furlo1s storm comes when we were told
that the signs indicated fair weather, no in
telligent person who has looked to his morn
ing paper during the past three years for the
weather indications would willingly have the
Signal Service Bureau abolished on the score
of public economy. Indeed, the weather
clerk is destined to divide with the postmas-
ter the honor Of being the only federal off
cial that the ordinary American citizen re-
CARDS as public benefactor.
The report of Gen. Myer who is at the
head of the Bureau--an abstract of which
has been published-contans many matters
of interest respecting this comparatively nov
ell plan Of foretelling the weather. He show $
that the per cent. of the verification of wealth
er predictions largely increases each year and
also that the proportion of such notification
ofprobabilties is in proportion to the number
of stations in any locality. The percentage OF
the number of notifications to the whole num-
Der OF predictions for the year ending Sept.
SOth is as as follows in the various section of
the country: New England, $3.50; Middle
States, S1.17; South Atlantic, 1892; Lower
Lakes, 1890; Eastern Cult, TIC; Ohio
Valley, 76.42; Western Gulf, 74.4O; Upper
Lakes, 1928; Northwest, IA. This result
goes to show that the system adopted by the
Bureau is correct and that experience and
the multiplication of stations will tend to
bring the notifications and predictions re-
speeding the weather into so close agreement
that an exception would be very rare.
The extension of toe usefulness of The ser
vice has been very great during the past year.
Thirteen new observing stations have been
established in the United States, four in Can
ada and three in the West Indies. The plan
for distributing weather charts in connection
with the postal service has been successfully
carried into effect so that the Probabilities
are furnished and displayed in 4,490 post
offices. Perhaps this service has not vet
been fully appreciated by farmers and others
for whom it is intended, but as it becomes
known and proves reliable, it will be regarded
as the next best thing to having the weather
at their control. Another important feature Of
the service is its extension to the lite-sayinp
and marine stations, now being perfected, for
the purpose Of both giving warning to mali
ners OF bad weather as they approach the
coast ard to summon assistance from contig-
nous life stations in case of disaster.
Considering that the weather bureau is on
ly an experiment of little more than three
years tlial, and that it has already reached
an excellence that assures its great usefulness
to thousand industries and ayoeations, no
part of the government is deserving greater
encouragement aud support. since its perfec-
ton will result in saving hundreds of lives
and almost millions of property annually.

Export of Manufactures.

II is well known that there are lew jour-
nails in this country that do not look with
special favor upon American manufactures
and the system under which they have made
such rapid development the past ten years.
Should we believe their assertions, the manu-
featured goods ofthis country do not COM
pee with the products of other countries for
the market of the world When, however,
such declarations are brought to book, they
are proved to be ISLANDERS upon American
skill and enterprise The various reports of
the national bureau of statistics show not on
ly that. the principal manufactures of the
country find their way to other nations, but
that tie amount of such exports is increasing
every year. The last monthly report of the
bureau brings down the amount of exports

I SPARK ARREsTER ON LocoMoTIvEs.-The
journal of Commerce, gives the following ac-
count of the favorable trial of what may prove
a useful invention:
Col. w. ID. Far rand, formerly our consul at
Callao, invented a machine for arresting sparks,
went to Paris, And introduced it on one of the
french ral NJ ads running out of Paris, and
came here month ago, to get a patent on it.
he secured the patent, and after seige of
preparation got it on what is known as ''the dir

the r0a d, and cnders getting in the eyes of pas
sengeIs. The conductor of the train says it was
the III st time in his life that he could stand on
a plat form of one of his cars, without getting
struc K in his eyes or having his neck burned
with cinders and his face blackened with SCOT
from the smoke. stack. The car windows were
thro IN open, ana the conductor says that while
here tofore they ha We swept buckets full of Gin

ing box below. When this box is filled, valve
is thrown open. and the contents emptied upon
the track The length of smoke stack greatly
increases the draft. The advantages shown by
this trial are four With such appliances the
travelling public need no longer be annoyed by
sparks, Cnders and SCOT, but may leave their
wlndowsopen with impunity. The owners of
properly along this road may build their hay
stacks and barns, or plant their crops as near
the Gasiroa.1 as they desire. The railroad COM
pa.nias may use open cars for combustibles of
sfee,s bulk, and save good deal of trouble in
bending, while at the same time the increased
tinaft will give them much more steam, with
the same amount of fuel; because slow draft
makes heated air, and uses the fuel to less pur-
poses. while strong draft makes steam as fast
as the engineer wants it.

ABOUT week after the cashier of the
Commercial Bank of Providence, r. l., was
found to be defadlter, the idea occurred to
some one that it was possibly crime for a
bank officer to rob it of $4,000 and had a
warrant issued for his arrest. The cashier,
probably DESTROYS Of avoiding the scandal that
his arrest wonld occasion, and to save the ex-
pense that the retaining of lawyer of suffi-
clent ability to secure his honorable acquittal
would involve, made himself scarce. But
the degree of caution with which the bank
people proceeded in this case, gives the i'm
preston that they are in doubt, whether or
not il is a crime to rob a bank.

that he should not adopt plans recently fore
shadowed in the newspapers; that though he
had given the subject much thought he had not

favor of well-matnred and carefully guarded
system of elastic currency, convertible into
bonds and vice versa, as the best interests of
the country might require. He should not,

FIRE AT JACKSON K.-The extensive

fire Sunday night, involving a total loss of
nearly 100000. Our informant was told BY
Mr.. Shaw that there was no insurance Oh the

leather in the loft, valued at nearly $4,000,
though it might be that some of the Boston of
fees had risks on it. 1t is supposed that the
fire was incendiary as man who was
at work in the drying room n the low

smoke in the night and went up the stairs,
where he found that a pile of combustible ma
