In the Supreme Court of New York,
Circuit Par. ILL.,, the suit OF Yerkes Jr,
and others against Solomon. to recover
differences" in the value of stocks, was
tried last week. 1t appears that some
time ago the plaintiffs bought from the
defendant what is known in stock opera
tons as a straddle" on Lake Shore
and Pacific Mail, the time being sixty
days. Before the expiration of the time
specified the defendant failed, and the
plaintiffs brought suit to recover the
amount due them on the transaction.
Solomon, in his defense, claimed that he
was not responsible, as the transaction
came within the provisions of the Act
against gambling; because the transac.
ton was not bona fide purchase and
sale. but merely put on the future price
of the stocks; and because no property
actually passed, nor was any intended to
pass, the defendant selling what he did
not possess. The Court held, however,
that the transaction came within the pro-
visions of the Act of 1868 in regard to the
sale of stocks, and directed the Jury
10 find for the plaintiffs in the sum of
S5,67S.39 but granted stay of proceed
ings for sixty days to allow the case to be
brought before the General Term.

and his friend after the entertainment

A man named Tyler, says the Sentinel
of the 9th, was arrested here about n
week ago. and since that time has been
lying in the County Jail. He has passed
several checks which are said to be for
gerles. and a complaint charging him
with that offense will be filed Tomorrow
in the Police Court. He arrived here
short time ago from Cornucopia, and
claims that he received the checks in
payment of debt, supposing them to be
genuine. the truth of which statement
will doubtless be demonstrated at the ex-
animation.
Why don't men swear when they are
alone?" asks Talmage. Did Mr.. Tai

and see lone farmer pick up humble
