The COMstables on the War Path.
The Committee appointed some weeks
since, at meeting of the city Consta-
bles held at squire Anthony's office, to
prepare charges and spec. ii :ations and
also articles of Impeachment against
Coroner b ,rdmand Stitch, have compIsa-
cd their Lap rs, aud will report at "a meet
ing to be held Tonight at the same place.
The Committee, which consists OF

articles o: impeachment, and a ter the
presentation oil the same, and their
adoption at the gene al meeting to-uiyht,
they will be filed in The Court OIL Common
Pleas tomorrow morning.
There are three distinct charges. The
first and most important is that made
by Constable Merchandising; he says that
on the rs. day OF June last he WAS
called to house on Clark street, and
took charge Of the body OF an old man
named Bruesker who had committed
suicide by hanging. He (McGranahan)
had summoned a jury and had them la
waiting. While in charge Of the body,
one John oDu.er presented him a
card signed by the Coroner, asking
MIN w puL lOuL IhSilS w uOSG NeEe
on the card, on The july. McGranahan
told him that he could not do it, as his
Jury was made up. Nothing more was
said until after the arrival of The Corr
oner, when he (the Coroner) took three
Of McGranahan's jurymen of and put
three OF his own choosing on. Those
who had been summoned by McGrana-
han clicked" anu DR.. Stich got rid OF
them by giving Them witness fees, IS
cents each.
McGranahan claims that the jurors
summoned were iii to act In thai uapa-
CITY, buL that they knew nothing what
ever OF tie merits OF the case, and
therefore the payment of witness fees
to tnem was wholly illegal.
There are two other distinct charges
in which 1t is claimG that Sticn pail

ing OF the cases in which they were
called.
One is that certain individual was

city. The Individual rec.iyins Tue lee

the Certificate for payment mad been
issued to him. He was in Cincinnati
during the whole time, ana therefore
was clearly not entitled 10 fee.
Another charge is That he his en-

LIVE AND DEAD WEIGHT OF TURKEYS.
Farmers frequently have occasion to
sell turkeys by live weight, and wish to
know what is the fair relative price be-
tween live and dead weight. In turkeys
dressed for the New York market,
where the blood and feathers only are
removed. the loss is very small. For
the Eastern markets the heads are taken
out This makes a loss of nearly one
tenth in the weight. A large gobbler
was recently killed weighing 81 IL
pounds. After bleeding and picking he
weighed 29 IL pounds, loss of two
pounds. or one-ffteenth. When ready
for the spit he weighed % IA pounds,
loss of IA pounds, which is nearly
One-tenth of the weight. When the
market requires the New York style Of
dressing, the price is Is cents pound,
live weight, or less, if the labor of dress
ing. be counted anything. In the other
style of dres sing, if the price were 20
cents. the farmer could sell for l8 cents,
or less, live weight, without loss. Farm.
ers never tested the loss of weight in
dressing, often submit to the deduction
Of the three or four cents. pound fol
