Ace will be put over the Upper portion, And

The movement to consolidate the two
leading newspapers of the Baptist denom-
nation published in Boston, viz, the Era
with the Waterman and Reflector, has been
consummated, and business men Of large
means are said to be behind the transac-
ton. 1t is understood that Rev. DR.. Lori
mer, who declined editorial connection
with the Christian Nation, has consented
to accept leading position on the consoli-
dated journal. which is to be issued in the
new form early IN December. The Levite
of the Temple is to be discontinued.
South Seabrook, New Hampshire, has
organized thief detecting company, con-
sequent upon the renewal of the annual
fence, tree, poultry and produce harvest
ing by the residents who want cider and
haven't money. That it has been necessa-
ry in the past to take ia. fences on the an
proach of cold weather is fact that the
Salisbury and Seabrook farmers haye found
too solemn to be laughed at. Fences and
trees are used for firewood by the thieves,
and Bryant Eaton lost thirty turkeys few
nights since,. which probably satisfied the
hunger of some hard cider soul.
notwithstanding the general stagnation
in business, the Nova Scotia coal trade for
the nine months ending Oct. 1st does not
show the great falling off anticipated by
some for the period named. There were
sold at the various coal mines of Cape Bre-
ton and Novia Scotia 521, 1868 tons of coal,
being falling off compared with the same
period of last year of 50,526 tons. The
trade with New Brunswick and New
foundland shows an increase, and that with
Quebec an increase of 10000 tons. The
United States purchased "a, 1881 tons, about
half what il was in 1874. The local con-
sumption was about the same as last year.

NJ. Alphouse Karr, the, Frepchman who
is the author of the celebrated phrase. II
am in favor of the abolition of the punish
ment of death-let assassans begin !" has
just treated the question of capital punish
ment, and after enumeratng the hundreds
of sailors, miners, workmen, who have
persisted in the exercise of their calling,
the numbers of persons who have died by
their own hands or by privationsS during
the last year, he says only eleven persous
were executed consequently the pro-

placed at $4,000, bills payable figuring
at some $4,000, and Endorsements at
some $64,000 The nominal assets are

A special from Washington to the New
York Euening Post says The matter of
the duty on wool, which has been made
prominent by the recent order from the
treasury department doubling the tariff on
certain woods, and the suspension of that
| order upon the strength of representations
| from the wool interest, is undergoing q
thorough investigation with the view of
settling not only the particular point on
! which this question is raised, but all others
of the same kind. 1t seems very clear that
the order doubling the duty was made in
| ignorance of the intention of the law as
expressed in the report of the revenue re-
vision committee of 1865, of which Mr.. d..
| A. Wells was chairman, by which the tar
| if was arranged. and there is no reason to
| doubt that the order will be revoked as
soon as the facts IN the case are fully con-
sidered. The total amount of the addi-
tional revenue under the suspended orders
would be about one million dollars per an
mum 1t would necessiate read justment
of the tariff on worsted goods, which was
| fixed to compensate for the duty on wool,
for protection of manufacturers. Mr..
Hayes, secretary of the national associa-
ton of wool manufacturers, has been in
town for few days and had several inter-
views with officers of the treasury depart
1t is not improbable that the opinion of
| Attorney General Perrepont will be re-
quested on the points involved before the
treasury department finally decides the
| case.
