A Breach of Promise Case.

In noted breach of promise case, re
Gently, the judge decided 10 favor of the
defendant, he having proven that the
plaintiff had q very offensive breath caused
by CATARRH, and that while he offered to
purchase OUR" VEGETABLE CATARRH
CURE for her, she persisted in using some
other remedy, although she constantly
grew worse. Finally, being unable to bear
it any longer, he Cancelled the engagement,
and notwithstanding the fact that plaintiff
proved that since their two hearts had
discontinued to beat as one. she had, by
using above named preparation, been en-
tirely cured, the court while commencing
her final sensible action, decided against
her on the grounds. that anyone troubled
with such disgusting and annoying dis
ease who would not accept the offer de-
fendant proved to have made. was not en-
titled to any damages" Let others take
warning and profit by this unfortunate
young lady's experience. Our" VEGET-

The same stock delivered at 1854 gave a

how money is made so rapidly in stocks.
Few people, however, have the necessary
cash to put up in order to realize such im<

with equal success by the new combina-

Williams and GiIchrist's miners held a
meeting last night and Gilchrist's men
held another meeting on Saturday morn
ing, and after the report of committee
appointed to meet Mr. GiIchrist had le-
ported, they all came home and did not go

account Of some men who had recently
been discharged for, as it is alleged, send
ing out sulphur. 1t is DOT known fully,
but this is the best to be got Of il now.
Mr.. Gilchrist, it is reported, has ordered
the works all closed, and preparations to
close for good are now in progress. About

WASHINGTON. .

WASHINGTON, July l3.-The Treasury
Department has never experienced any
difficulty in securing all the silver required
for coming standard silver dollars at the
Philadelphia mint. In purchasing for the
Western mint, however, there has been
much difficulty, as nearly all offered for
delivery at San Francisco aud Carson City
during several months past has been from
to p per cents per ounce above the
market rates. At the regular weekly
opening of bids on Wednesday last ali
offers from the West were above the mar
ket rate and were consequently declined.
Secretary Sherman, however. made the
parties Offering large lots of silver counter
offers of what he considered the market
price Nearly all of them accepted. No
difficulty in securing silver for Western
mints is therefore apprehended. Under
this new plan of buying, about 100000
ounces of silver were purchased during
the present week.
A comparison between issues of stamps,
stamped envelopes and postal cards for
| 1878 and 1879, shows that the total value
of this years issue is $29 1889, ,050, an in p
crease OF $97l.866 over the value of those
of last year. The increase 10 the number
| OI ordinary postage stamps issued Is only
429 per cent as compared with the in
crease of 766 per cent for 1878 over 1877.
This comparative falling off is due to the
effect of the new law for compensation Of
Postmasters, which having for its basis
the number of stamps cancelled instead Of
the number sold, has put stop to specu
lative purchases. There is decrease in
the value and number of newspapers and
periodical stamps and stamped envelopes
and wrappers. There were 22l, ,S07, ZOO
postal cards issued, 40 increase of more
than 10 per cent. The increase in tht
value of sales to the public between the
two years is $l,003,2l8.
