Not the Old Simon Pure.

After quoting our local oflast week,
that Redmond was in Jail, brother
Spolghts says: ......
"Ish dot so? The real old simon
pure blockade Redmond? Tell us,
now, friend Bradley, have you got
him! We know one or two Revenue
officers who will breathe free once
more, and who would not be breath
ing now if Redmond could have got
in his work" =.
He is not "the simon-pure blockade
Redmond" but new Redmond,
about three weeks old. We expect
some OF the Revenue officers will faint
when they read this explanation.

that other mills will shut down" next
week. Some are running on contracts
and cannot stop at present. Many
here think that the mills ought to
have stopped long ago, and that if the
movement should extend now through
the whole of New England, as trade
would be started in. the fall, it's lmpe-
tus would keep business moving. By
tho stoppage of these mills some

A WEDDINa.-They were from
North Carolina, Haywood County,
and had tramped it all the way-two
sisters, Mr.. Mann and a friend

old carpet sack constituted tho entire
baggage of the party, which the gen

carried on the end of q stick across

bachelor friend Waddy, if there was
an ordained minister iu town. Re-
ceiving an answer in the negative,
they then enquired if there was ma~
gistate in town. light at once
flashed upon Waddy, and they were
referred TO Trial Justice Taylor, with
the information that he could accom-

office, and at once the word passed
around amongst the boys that a mar
riage was to take place III the Office
Of Mr.. Taylor, where. everybody re-
paired. with rpsh, but disappoint>

apprehending what was up amongst
the "boys," dispatched the business
before any one could reach the Office,
marrying the Mr.. Mann and the els

kind of q ceremony he repeated to
them, but from tho shortness OF it we
are of opinion that it w&s something
on this order. "Yeu do solemnly
swear that the evidence you shall
give in this case shall be the truth,
the whole, truth, and nothing but the
truth, so help you God" When wo

Mr. II, r. STEvENs-Dear Sir: I
will most cheerfully add my tss-
timony to the great plumber you
have already. received in favor Of
your great and good medicine,
Vegetine, for 1 do not think en-
ough can be said in its praise; for
l was troubled over thirty years
with that dreadful disease, Ga
tarrh, and had such bad cough
ing spells that it would seem as
| never could breathe any
more, and Vegetine has cured me;
and | do feel 10 thank God all the
time that there is so good a medi-
cine rs Vegetine, and l also think
it is one of the best medicines for
coughs, and weak, sinking feel-
ings at the stomach, and advise
everybody to take the ,Vegetine,
for l can assure them it is one of
the best medicines that ever was.

TheN Bankrupt Law.

Congress has passed bill repeal
ing tho bankrupt law. 1t will go into
effect September l, 1879, and all cases
then pending will be continued as if
the bankrupt act had not been pass
cd. This we consider, one OF the most
important measures acted on by Con-
gross. The bankrupt law was terri
bly, abused, and while in many in
stances it gave great relief and was
proper enough, III many others debt
ors only took advantage of it to de-
fraud their creditors. We arc glad
the law is repealed.

POSTAL FRAuDs,-Postmaster James,

investigation OF the extent Of sales Of

by which the revenues of the Postofice
Department are decreased. Some Of
these postmasters have been detected
in purchasing pianofortes, parlor or
gans, sewing machines, and the innu'
merable articles which compose the
stock usually to be found in the "gen.
eral store" of which the postmasters
ut the cross. roads offices are, AZ a rule,
the proprictors, and paying for the
same in postage stamps, for the " sale
of which in this irregular way, they
claim land until detected must be al.
lowed) the same commissions which
they would receive on account of bona
fde sales in the regular course Of
business. 1t is found that about 49,
900, 600 worth Of stamps have thus
been annually disposed Of in New
York, the Government thereby losing
nearly 81, 600, 900 by the increased pay
of country postmasters.
