E9- The case of DIR. Isaac Sitter, of Philadel-
phia, charged with having caused the death of
Miss Hettie Love, in negligently compromising
medicine to be administered to her, was given to
the jury at noon, on Friday of last week, and af-
ter an hours deliberation, they returned verdict
of guilty of involuntary manslaughter with re-
commentator to the mercy of the court. The
Judge said that in order to prevent a repetition
of the act by others in the same business, he
would be obliged to give the defendant more than

G5-The recent heavy freshet did an incalcu
liable amount of damage to the farmers of Hamp-
shire county, Va. In some of the valleys scarcely
a shock Of corn stack of hay remains, and fenc-
ing and crops of all kinds were destroyed. Farm
ers have prOvender for their stock, and the dis
tress which will necessarily follow will be very
great. In Hardy county, in the same State, along
the South Branch of the Potomac the damage will
reach 100000. In that county farms have been
washed completely away, and it is said that land
which previously was worth 500 per acre is now
utterly yalueless

Es- The tramp question is just now exciting
considerable discussion all over the State and it
is hoped each county, like our own, will send
delegates to the Baltimore convention, which
body, when it assemblies, will endeavor to adopt
some plan by which our Commonwealth may rid
herself of the intolerable nuisance which menaces
her people on every hand. This question of the
tramp and how to get rid of him, is coming to be
a serious one to all of us, and it behooves us to
move for his suppression. On this subject the
Baltimore Ecening Bulletin says:
"What is needed most at this stage of proceed
ings is statistics. We need first to know the num-
Der of the tramps in the State, and then, some
thing else about them. At present, the tramp is
almost an unknown animal. We are not ac-
quainted with his habits, nor what degraded him,
nor where he goes, nor whence he comes from.
Especially. we do not know what will reform him,
and this need to know more than anything
else"

MONEY MAKING BY THE PIECING TRIcK.-Under
this head the Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore San says:
"The United States treasurer is advised of con
stantly increasing attempts by persons in various
sections of the country to cheat the government
and innocent parties by practicing what is known
the piecing process, whereby given number of
currency notes Of like denomination cut in
pieces and so pasted together as to give an in
creased number. They generally take ten notes,
and, by cutting and adroit piecing, make eleven,
thereby gaining one at the expense of the other
ten. Of course the diminished notes get into the
hands of innocent holders, and when sent to the
department for redemption they are at once de-
tected by the treasury experts and thrown out and
in nine cases out of ten innocent holder is the
sufferer. The regulations for redeeming mutt
lated currency do not admit of the redemption
of any less than single part of note containing
at least one-half of the original, which makes it
still harder for those into whose hands these nice
ly pasted fragments fall"
