IMPORTERS.
The delay in repairing the Patent Office
has caused much Inconvenience to the occu-
pants during the recent severe storms. The
statement that the family of Colonel
Ierger. who assassnated Colonel Crane,
L. ;. A., in jackson, Miss, in 1866,
are employed IN the Treasury Department, is
officially contradicted. The Treasury Depart
ment has instructed the Collector of this port
TO permit deliveries of velvets upon retention
OF proper samples, and the deposit of all du-
ties based upon the appraised value.
