$4,000 Spent Over Twenty five Cent Trans
acti0n


Six years ago Messrs. Wolcott, johnson
& Co., of Freehold n. j., sold to Lewis ID
Mount, farmer twenty-five cent package
of what they represented as seed that would
produce excellent early turnips. The seed
brought forth late-turnips, and ofsuch poor
quality that Mr.. Mount was compelled to feed
them to his cattle. Mr.. Mount sued for dam
ages before Justice of the Peace, and was
granted a judgement of 500 damages. The
plea of the defendants was atthey had pur-
chased the seed under the impression that il
was tirst-class, and, having paid the ordinary
price, no fraud was intended.
An appeal was taken to the Court of Com
mon Pleas year af,erward, and judgement
of the Justice of the Peace was sustained by
the full bench.
The case was then carried to the Supreme
Court, and two years ago the judgment of the
Common Pleas was affirmed.
The case was then taken TO the Court of
Errors and Appeals, and all the judges az
firmed the original decision. In the suit
$4,000 in legal expenses have been paid.
Col, Fitzhugh, the newly-elected door,
keeper of Congress, rendered position to a
son of Senator Gordon, hearing which, the
father wrote to the son as follows:
"Write Immediately to Col. Fitzhugh, my
son, and thank him for his consideration

GIVE HIM A CHANCE.

The Louisville Courier Journal OF December
3lst asks that the people of the United States
have little patience, and not be in such a
hurry to condemn Spy aker Kerr's selection Of
Mr.. Morrison as chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee It asks that he be given
fair opportunity of displaying his ability,
or Of illustrating his incapacity for the Office
before he is put upon the rack of public
judgment. As evidences of Presidential ap-
pointments that have turned out contrary to
general public expectation. the same paper
mentions the following instances:
The Republicans thought Mr.. Lincoln had
made mistake when he gave Mr.. Seward a
seat in his Cabinet. The Republicans thought
Gen. Grant had made q mistake when h'
Waite. The Republicans did not think Ger
Grant had made mistake when he sent Gen
Schenck to the Court of St. James. Yet tim.
demonstrated the folly of their prejudices.
Let us then hear no more OF this cOndemna-
ton of public servant because he has not
been tried. If he has not been weighed in the
balance, we assuredly can not affirm that he
has been found wanting. Before the session
of this Congress is half concluded it is prob
able that these same decriers Of Mr. Morrison
will be deluging him with compliments.
This is not an age of gush. Business is
nothing more or less than business, and a
dollar actually and honorably saved to the
nation is worth tome Of fulsome theory as
to the way it should or should not be done.
Give Mr.. Morrison the ribbons, and let Us
see if he does not take the nations carryall
farther from the edge OF the precipice than
any of his predecessors.

\ CHAPTER ON CoUNTERFEITs.-Pe
sons handling money in many cases pay
very little attention to it, and as result
they occasionally find themselves the
unhappy ,possessors of spurious notes.
Although business men in this city are
often made victims of the showers Of
the queer" their carelessness sometimes
gets the better of them. The observance
of the following suggestions by a con-
temp orary, will do much toward thwar-
ting the designs of passers of counter
felt money: Do not allow yourselves to
de hurried in taking money. Counter
felt passers are always in hurry. OBJ
serve general appef ance of the note il
you are suspicious. Then examine the
expression Of the face, especially the eye,
See if they are perfect. Then the dra-
perry Of the human figures. Then ez:
anime the back grounds of yignets and
die work. Look for impcrfections. Coun-
terfeits are fu" of them. Last, examine
the lettering on the note. Look for i'm
perfections in the form of letters and
shading. Counterfeiis always lack in the
lettering.

OUR BIG H1LLs.-A good story
about the big hills of Wilmington, il
told, as follows; A lazy countryman,
going out Eighth street, paused when
he arrived at Tatnall street, at the hill
which rose before bin. To avoid it,
he thought he would turn down to the
next street before he went out to West
At Seventh street, before he found an
other hill and still another at Sixth.
Then he proceeded to Fifth street, and
still found hill. At Fourth street he
was amazed and making a desperate
break to Third street was fairly ap'
palled at steep ACTIVITY which arose
his before him. In despair he retraced
his steps to Eighth street. and pro-
ceeded out to West.
