scented by the foregoing figures is In many
respects % gratifying one, both to the govern
.nent and to the numerous parties engaged In
the business OF manufacturing anu handling to-
bacro.
There are three facts in this connection which
the Commissioner deems especially, worthy OF
ufactured tobacco for the last fiscal year was
greater than for say other. fiscal year en-
braced within the reports OF this office, with
the single exception OF the year ended juno 81.
1876. The record Is that larger amount OF
money was collected from manuiactured TO- 70,
than during any fiscal year. and the third fact
is the pleasing one that greater quantity OF
manufactured tobacco and more cigars and
cigarettes were removed directly from the man
ufactories for expectation to foreign countries
during the last year than during any one pre-,
by tho office of Internal Revenue. These re-
suits are believed to be largely due to those pro
visions of the law which were Intended to give
to the government a general control over the
movements of raw or leaf tobacco, regulating
It's sale. transfer and shipment. and preventing
its being sold for direct consumption without
the payment Of any tax. and in competition with
manufactured and tax paid. The commission.
or says continuance Of these TEXTURES OF said
law Is necessary to maintain the present
amount of receipts from said source.

agninst Captain Tom Groomes of the

Her statement is to the effect that
Groomes induced her to enter his house,

says sho struggled and screamed, and
finally made her escape from the house.
The lady tells very plausible story,
