An Important Case.
The Hallowell Granite Company's Stone
Seized mt Albany.

At the new capitol building at Albany Tues
day afternoon. Sheriff Gallup accompanied by
N. G. Noak, levied upon all the stone in and
about the grounds belonging to the Hallowell
Granite Company of this state, by virtue Ut
wrts of attachment issued by Recorder Greene
that morning. The cause of the action is stated
to be as follows:
Several years since Mr.. John Bridgeford was
the owner of valuable granite quarry at
Hallowell, which he subsequently disposed of
to company of which Mr.. j. R. Bodwell was
president, known as the Hallowell Granite
Company. Mr.. Bodwell was also president of
the Bodwell Granite Company of Rockland,
from which two companies the new Capitol
Commissioners Of Albany have obtained
large portion of their supply of stone For
this quarry the Hallowell Granite Company
agreed to pay the sum of $4,000. Soon after
making the purchase, $4,000 OF the amount
was paid, leaving $4,000 due, which was to be
paid on a certain specified day in February last.
The time came and passed by, the payment
was not made, and now, as is alleged, the Com
pany have refused to pay the balance. Seeing
that the Company was not inclined to keep
faith withIhim, Mr.. Bridgeford, Tuesday, con-
suited with Mr.. N. c. Moak, and the result of
that consultation was evidenced in the seizures
made as above, in order to make the Company
come to time. The Comptroller.of New York
state, Mr.. Nelson X. Hopkins, has been re-
strained from paying the Company. MI. Eaton,
the Superintendent, has been enjoined from
using any of the Company's stone, and the
Capitol Commissioners from honoring the
Company's drafts on account, until the matter
is finally adjusted, and the claim of Mr.. Bridg-
ford satisfied.
Sheriff Gallup also seized a car load of stone
which arrived from the quarry Tuesday after-
noon, and will continue to seize it as fast as it
arrives until the thing is settled. 1t is antici-
pated that everything will be amcably adjust
ed in the course of few days.

editorial article, urges church societies to give
their pastors good long vacation, and in adj.
dition to this see that their purses are well lined
with the currency of the country ere they leave
their focks in quest of rest and vigor. This of
course implies theshutting up of the churches
during vacation time, or, where societies are
blessed with an abundance, the employment

suggestion, and were it possible to indulge in
such flight of fancy, the same advice might
be given to Journalists employed on daily pa

DIR. SCHENClX'S
PulmOnic Syrup. Sea Weed Tonic, and
Mandrake Pills.

These medicines have undoubtedly performed more
cures of Consumption than any other remedy known
to the American public. They are compounded of
vegetable ingredients and contain nothing which can
be injurious to the human constitution.
her remedies advertised cures for COnsump-
tion, probably contain opium, which is somewhat
dangerous drug in all cases, and ii taken freely by
consumptive patients, it must do great injury; for
its tendency is to c0nfne the morbid matter in the
system, which of course, must make a cure impossi
BILE.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is warranted not to
contain particle of opium: 1t is composed OF pow
erful but harmless herbs, which act on the lungs,
liver stomach and blood, and thus correct all NOR
bid secretons and expel all the diseased matter from
the body. These are the only means by which Con-
sumption can be cured, and as Schenck's Pulmonc
Syrup Sea Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are the
only medicines which operate i'll this way. it is obvl
Gus they are the only genuine cure for Pulmonary
Consumption. Each bottle of this invaluable medi-
cine is accompanied by full directions.
