4 COSTLY GOOSE.
How Seventy Five Cents In
creased 20 Hundreds of
Ek0IIaFs

y case IN IA OF the courts yesterday
wherein the costs eventually swallowed
up all interest in the original cause Of
action originated a conversation ia re-
gard 10 similar eases, and one of the
party related his experience some time
ago in a contest over the possession Of Il
goose Of the proven value of seventy
five cents. In 1891 an freshman and a
German living in the southern part Of
the city each was the happy pOssessor
Of a flock Of geese. One day n member
Of the lri,Lman'sh flock got mixed with
the Germans and accompanied them 10
their home, which from that time il
adopted. The lrishman demanded his
goose, but the German refused to give
il up, and the lrishman sued out a writ
of repleyin before a justice of the peace
ana got judgment. The loser appealed
TO the Common Pleas Court, where the
case dragged on until that court was
abolished. Ii was then transferred TO
the Circuit Court, where, after inter-
minable proceedings, the plaintiff ag lin
obtained Judgment. The case was then
appealed to the general term, which
eventually affirmed the judgment of
the special term, giving the plaintiff
the value of his suit with costs. The
plaintiff had in the meantime paid So
in attorneys fees and the defendant
about the same sum-. The costs, which
he had to give security for on his APP
peal, amounted TO $S5, so that the en-
tire expense Of litigating for that six
bits goose WIS S23j in money and the
loss of as much more in time, TO say
nothing of the yeXation Of spirit.

The Greenback Convention.

The Greenback Convention assem-
bled in the circuit court room on last
Saturday. The meeting was anything
but harmonious. Contention seemed
rife, and opinions as to public desire.
Col. d. NJ. Nelson was opposed to ma
king any selection Of candidates, con-
tending that the idea was prcpostcrouS
to mingle greenback and currency
ideas in the little local broilS and dis
trict scufiics for constable, justice Of
peace, &C.; it was losing sight of the
grand idea and playing second fiddle,
to the ragged line of hills Idle bush
whackcrS, ridicultd the proposition of
mailing to every c~onstable'S lat a
g%reenback flag, and %bottoming every
Justice of the ypeaCc's chair@ith a scrap
of the greenback platform, claimed
that Congress being the source of all
our national ills, financially speaking,
and from that source must flow relief,
that every officer from district consta-
BILE to Governor might be uniform in
green, eat off of greenback dishes, wor-
ship in green pewed churches, contrib
ute Sunday school support in green
back shinplasters, hug %greenback gals,
and ever then not create 4 rifle on the
ocean of national finance. Congress
had caused this financial distress, by
wrong and often corrupt legislation
and for the correction of the wrongs
and cOrruptions complained Of, Con-
gress was the only power to appeal to-.
Col. Nelson offered Il serious Of resolu-
tions embodying his ideas and in oppo-
sition to any Endorsement or nomina-
ton of candidates, Mr.. W. l.. Sharp
| opposed the resolutions and
succeeded by two majority in yotin 9
down Col. Nelson's resolutions. Mr..
Sharp then introduced a series Of reso-
buttons, which were adopted. A cat
Gus then retired, and reported back the
following named gentleman as their
choice for the respective county Offices
For Sheriff, G. b. Hayes,
For Trustee, A. j. White,
For Circuit Court Cl'k, W. II. Curry,
For County " j. II. Ruckcr,
For Register, Norman.
The report was read by Mr.. Sharp,
but before the convention acted upon
it Nelson moved an adjournment,
which carried, and the convention adj
iourned without confirming the selec-
ton made by the caucus. 1t was and
Is claimed that Sharp's parliamentary
practice in the motion to adjourn de-
feated the objects Of nomination, and
that the names above noted, simply re-

bound by any pretended action of the
caucus, and that he would be n candi-
date up to the closing of the polls in
August. SO ended the first note Of the
grecnback harmony in Bradley county.
The discussion on the points raised
as to nomination or ho nomination wa,
spicy. One delegate following Nelson
remarked that they "were not assem-
blcd to be led and dictated to by
sbrewd and calculating lawyers lie
was followed by Anthony Carter, who
replied that he Carter was II black

Ifany doubt exists in the journals

newspaper directory could be fabrica-
ted which would come up to the STAN
dard of the age, in its entire adoption
to the wants of advertisers and news
paper publishers. Mr.. Pettengill has
dissolved it. His directory for 1873 is,
to begin with, Il marvel of n%eatnesS and
completeness. 1t contains general and
special information of S,Gl5 newspa-
pers. The lists are given by States, in
geographical sections, and by counties.
There are also lists OF classes, such as
dailies, weeklies, monthlies, religious,
agricultural and horticultural. The
book is handsomely illustrated. There
is no appearance of any effort to esti-
mate circulations. We have this fea-
ture presented in three ways Every
circulation sworn to is printed in full
face; all other circulations which are
reported are those given by publishers
themselves; and in case where any
doubt has existed in the compilcr's
mind as to the figures reported, the
circulation is omitted. There are many
others which do not report circula-
tons at all. The Directory is n fair
presentation of the status and claims of
every paper recorded in its pages. 1t

BALTIMORE Oct. IA fire broke out in
Easton, Talbot County, Md, at 2 o'clock
this morning, and despite the best efforts of
the firemen an immense amount of damage
was done. Several of the best buildings,
private and public, have been destroyed
Among those burned down were Odd-fel-
lows Hall, the Market-house Town Hall
and eight or ten large stores. The loss is
between $4,000 and 800 900.
BALTIMORE, Oct. 2.-Nothing seems to be
known of the origin of the fire at Easton,
Nd. Citizens were hastily called from their
beds to find the fire burning intensely, with
every prospect of destroying the whole
town. and it was with the greatest exer-
tions that the fire was checked. 1t several
times seemed certain that the M. f. Church
would go. Nearly the same territory was
burned over by fire about twenty years
ago and many of the same parties were
sufferers both then and now. The Odd
fellows were heavy losers on both occasions.
Among the buildings destroyed yesterday
are the Town Hall, Market-house and Odd
fellows Hall and the stores of Messrs. JAR
rell Nichols & Co., general merchants; John
Mason, undertaken; Jacob Williams grocer;
John M. Mason, confectioner and tobac-
conist George w. Beck, merchant; VIM.
Mason, carriage and harness manufacturer,
and George Morgan, merchant. The loss is
estimated at 100000.
