sEALER OF WEIGHTS AND
MEASURES

The appointment Of a sealer Of weights
and measures for Carbon county, being a
new thing, many of our people are at fault
To understand the law in the matter, we,
therefore, at the request of number of our
friends publish the following letter of in
quiry from a number of prominent mer-
chants Of Doylestown, Bucks county, Pa,
asking legal opinion of Messrs. G. & H.
Lear, as In the powers and duties of the
sealer Of weights and measures, and the re-
ply Of those gentlemen to the questions ask
ed, the letters fully explain themselves;
DoYLEsrowN, April 80, 1879.
MesvS. G. d H. Lear. Gentlemen:
We and some others in the county who
use weights and measures for tne purpose
Of weighing and measuring produce and
merchandise, in buying and selling the
same, have concluded TO consult you as our
counsel on the subject of the office of sealer
Of weights and measures, and the rights,
powers and duties of that officer, as well as
our rights ana duties. We therefore desire
you 10 answer for us the following ques-
tions:
l. Is the act of April 4, 1877, authorizing q
the governor to appoint sealer OF weights
and measures, constitutional?
2. If constitutional, what are the powers
and duties Of that officer?
3. Can he inspect and seal our weights
and measures without our consent2
We desire an early answer to these qucs-
tions, in order that our action may be ac-
cording to law. Yours truly,

RIoTING IN CoLoMBIA's CAPITAL.
Members OF the House stoned by the Popu-
Iace-RepiyinE with Pistols.

PANAMA, May 24.-Things are badly mixed
in the capital Of Colombia The two principal
sections into which the so-called Liberal party
is divided have come to blows. Rioting. pistol
shooting. and the throwing Of stones against
obnoxious politicians has added another ele-
ment to the excitement which the political cam
vass for Presidential candidate has necessarily
occasioned. On the 9Th. 9th. and 7th Of the
present month the sessions OF the House were
marked by the most disRraceful disorder. Peo-
pie In the galleries openly expressed their con-
tempt and hatred at certain members whose
hostility against the Executive has been most
marked. and those members increased the dis
order by making most impassioned attacks
against the President OF the republic To this
the populace replied with volleys OF stones.
which in turn were contested by shots from re-
volvers In the hands OF members. Things got
to such pass on the 7th that Gen. Trujillo. mt
the head Of battalion Of the Colombian Guards.
cleared the galleries. adjourned the session. and
marched the hostile members to their respective
homes under guard. to prevent outrages on the
part OF the populace. On the sth the capital
was declared under martial law. and efforts
were being made by prominent politicians to
bring about an adjustment Of differences be-
tween the leaders Of parties.
