these operations have not been confined
to the district above named, but have
been carried out on grand scale. as re-
ports from various parts of the country
indicate. These sharpers hail from New
York, and represent themselves as agents
for the sale of imported goods of bank
rupt stock of large firm recently failed
in England. The goods are represented
to have been brought into the country
under a special provision of the revenue
laws, whereby remnants in packages Of
not less than Sl50 each, may be admit

a saving of 20 per cent. in the cost of
the article to the consumer. This story
undoubtedly would seldom be credited.

it not that third party is employed to

THB TRIAL OF LANDIs.-The trial Of
Charles K. lands, for shooting and
killing Uri Carruth. editor of the Vine
land Independent. has been in process
during the past week, at BridgetOn, n.
J. As Carruth lived nearly year after
the assault, with the bullet in his brain,
and the surgeons were thought to have
made some blunders in the treatment,
the main point at issue, in the defence,
is whether Carruth died from the bullet
wound or the surgeons probe. The
shooting is admitted. but the defence
set I'D, first, that lands was insane,
and second. that the prOvocatiOn reduc-
es the shooting to manslaughter. and
third, that the victim died, not from the
shot, but from bad treatment. of course.
there is great amount Of curious and
conflicting testimony; and. as it was in
the case Of Stokes, who shot James Fisk,
Jr., it Is quite possible that it will be
made to appear that, after all, Lands il
not so much TO be blamed as tie maj
that be shot and the doctors that attend
ed upon him. Most wOndrous is th,
legerdemain Of adroit counsel before
jury and We may as well be prepare,
for moderate issue il the case, if no
an acquittal.

In truth, 1875 will be noted as year
fruitful of disaster of every kind. Ty-
phOOns, railway and steamship disasters,
explosions and large fires, these and 9TH
er forms of disaster have figured in the
newspapers all the past year. Indeed,
the history Of single fortnight, the last
two weeks of the old year, includes such
tragedies as the Deutschland and Bre-
merhaven steamer accidents, the terrible
colliery explosion at Framieres, the de-
struction of Areciho by an earthquake,
the collision on the Gironde, the burn-
ing Of the English training ship Goliath,
the explosion of the Boston gas-main,
the tornado in Bermuda, the school.
house massacre at Hellikon, Switzerland,
and the tornado in the PHILIPPINES, while
the new year is ushered in with the
promise of speedy eruption of Vesuvi
us-and what tragedy may there no
yet be enacted there?
