PRINTERS WAGES.

circular has been issued by a number OF book and
job printers calling meeting of the trade at the Astor
House to-day for the purpose of reducing the wages Of
journeymen ten per cent and agreeing on uniform
schedule Of paying rates The proposition OF course
does not meet with favor among the journeymen, or
even In the trade, will be from the following
letter which has been addressed TO the meetng:-
GEyTLgMEN We acknowledge the receipt OF notice
OF second meeting OF employing printers, TO be held
at the Astor House March 1885, for the purpose oil
considering reduction Of ten per cent on journcymens
wages
We think such reduction Ill timed at present, and
hard to reconcile when the cost Of living is about
high now as when the prices were advanced to their
present status Rather, would say, the wages
TO competent temperate and faithful Journeymen, than
reduce them.
II employing printers would turn their attention to
regulating prices for their work TO consumers and OK
OF discount middlcmen, 1t would be far moro
advantageous than the petty reduction Of the Journey
mems wages would profit them.
We hope the employing printers will leave the jour

employers into a compact that price will be the
rule Of the trade. SMITH SON.

city, TO the jail of the county named by Deputy Sheriff
Ford. He is to answer an indictment charging him
with having obtained money under false pretences The
circumstances under which, alleged, Wilson
ceved the money of somewhat singular character.
About three years ago Josephine Lyman, rural belle
of twenty-five summers, was married at White

circumstances, and about seventy-three years Old.
Both OF the contracting parties lived in the village
named, and are well known in that community Before
the honeymoon gone the couple agreed TO separate
Miller consentng TO give his BRIDE the sum OF $1,000
in lieu OF dowry and any other legal claim she might
have upon him. Shortly after this separation the
tiquated bridegroom concevcd stated the idea OF
taking to himself another wife, and commenced an ac-
tion iOr absolute divorce from Josephine, thc
tion being based upon information given him by Will
son, who for money consideration stipulated TO fur.

Wilson'S price Tor this undertaking was 5000, which
Miller alleges he paid him in advance. When the day
of trial came about twelve months since the plaintiff
and his counsel appeared IN court but neither Wilson
nor his witnesses could be found. The case was
cordingly postponed Miller afterward temporarily
reented, condOned the alleged offences OF his youth
