GoATS.-From a gentleman arriving
yesterday from near sulphur Station,
on The old y. Il. road, we learn that a
great number of cashmere goats, rang
ing in that locality, have persisted dur
ing the past Winter. The loss is MANI
~ due to the want of sufficient shelter
and food, as the animals generally are
very hardy, and withstand the in
element weather much better than
sheep. The principal loser is w. Ship
lev, who had about 500 goats last Fall,
but the number has been greatly re-
duccd the past few months.

to extricate it until the breast-strap OF
the wheel horse was cut loose and the
tongue of the wagon let down. For

animal would have been SO badly in

A MERCANTILE AGENcY's RESPONSIBILITY
FOR INFORMATION FURNISHED TO SUBsCRI-
BERs.-[NeW Orleans Times. 1.-The suit Of
Joseph Henry %. r. G. Dun & Co., in the
Fifth District Court, was decided on Mon.
day. The suit was for $500, and was based
on the following facts Plaintiff Henry sent
an order for groceries to Oscar Chopin,
general commission merchant, who delivered
the same to j. G. Spohr & Co. to be filled.
spohr& Co. being subscribers to the mer-
camille agency of the defendants applied to
them for information respecting the mercan-
tile reliability and solyency of the plaintiff,
and to that application the local agent
returned statement setting out that
Henry was the owner of grocery
store, and was planter at Natchitoches,
and recited that suit had been instituted
against bin by firm in Arkansas on ac-
count of the failure of Henry to deliver
twenty-six bales of cotton, as per agreement,
in payment of the rent Of the Puckette
plantation for the year 1871, claiming on that
account the sum of S2,632.50. Said agree
ment was to bear a special lien on the crop
of said plantation. A further return was
made by the agency that the information
given was in answer to Spohr q Co.'s letter
of inquiry, and was for their guidance in
business, Luz that the actual verify Of the
same was not guaranteed by the agency.
The finding Of the court was for the de-
PENDANTS, and judgment rendered accord
ingly.

. The Truth AT LAsT.-The Washington
correspondent of the Cincinnati Comm erctdl
was the first amongst northern writers to tell
the truth as to the sort of speech that the
negro ELLIOTT made in reply to Mr.. STEPHENS.
We quote:
But il in the mans [Elliott's] experience
there was anything which might have made
him eloquent, it was effectively superseded
by timorous bravado of rhetoric and a self.
conscious effort to flourish his lore of white
mans grammar. Not an utterance gave sign
Of special intimacy of bis with affairs under
discussion"
This is the exact truth. Yet BEAST But
LER, SUMNER, and other Radicals, made haste
20 congratulate the simn!eton, as If he had
answered sEeech that no white man in the
House could answer. Mr.. LAWRENCE, OF
Chio, made the only speech of that sitting
which has any. claim to be considered an
argument on the constitutionality OF the
civil.rights bill.

The Washington Republican relates the
following anscdote aprop8s Of the contest
between certain West virginians for seats In

"some years ago, In 9 contested ELECTION 10

contestants spoke TO Mr.. Thaddeus stevens
on the subject, Oh, don't argue the thing.
said Mr.. Stevens. What Is our fellows
name ? let as vote for him. Mr. Steyens.s
policy is hardly suited 70 the present flme'S
:. Yet tits just the policy that has been per-
sistently pursued by the Radical party every.
We call the Republicans attention to the
fact that q COMMITTEES Of our Conservative
1 Legislature last week reported In favor OF
unseating two Conservative members and
seating two Radicals.
