by most unearthly noise issuing
from No. 46 Court House Block.

we at once discovered that a terri
BILE fall had occurred in prices of

tervewing Mr.. Ben, Nahm, the one
price clothier and tailor, we were
gratified to hear that he had put
down the prices in his line, as evin-
ced by his price list in this issue,
and that he intended to keep them
down. And furthermore, he is de-
termined to win if fair dealing, low
prices, good material and well made
garments will accomplish this OBJ

and q sumptuous banquet with an unlimited
supply of all the means of conviviality

confined to that supplied to the body; the

of some accomplished amateurs who are
members of the Chickasaw Guards of Mem

JANUARY 3lst., 1873.
Editors -New Dominion:
There is reports circulated here
that suits had been brought against
the Morgantown Bank some time
back to recover interest paid over
per cent, and there is also much
talk that the other Banks officers has
been charging more interest than the
law allows, and in violation of their
oaths. viii you please publish in
your paper q copy of the Banking
law about that matter, so we may
know if we have been paying inter-
est contrary to law, and showing the
difference between State Banks and a
National Bank. A FARMER.
As requested we have taken some
trouble to get at the facts, and regard
as we understand, the law to be this !:
State Banks, such as the Morgan
town Bank, can, like an individual,
charge such interest as they may
agree upon with the borrower, and
the borrower can pay what he agrees
to pay, and there is no penalty at
tached. But as the legal rate of in
terest of this State is 6 per cent, the
Jaw forbids the collection by Ia,c of
more than that interest, and when
more than six 6 per cent has been
paid the borrower can bring suit at
common law any time within
five years after such transaction oc-
ours, and recover back the excess
paid over 8 per cent The National

Capt. Garrison was next called
for and responded in his usual feyent
style and among other things said he
thought that the best ornament n

teacher in it who by his manners and
conduct would secure the good will

audience with his pointed remarks.

ROBBERY AT SMITHTowN Mr.. w.

broken open and robbed of money
AID goods to the amount of five or
six hundred dollars one night last
week. 1t is thought the thieves were
from distance. They lost numer-
Gus small articles on the road between
White Day and Fairmont, thus indi-
eating the direction they took. Two
men suspected of being in the crowd
boarded the cars at Fairme2t the
same night, and paid their fare as
far as Glover's Gap. SO far as we
are informed nothing further is
known of their whereabouts. 1t is
not unlikely that the same gang who
burglarized Garrison's store night
or two previous committed this. 1t
is seldom that the merchants of
Monongalia county suffer from such
depredations, and it is to be hoped
that the perpetrators of this outrage
may be caught and summarily dealt
with.

lscly arraigned President Thompson
with having used language and made

Citations were vehement and strong.
The friends of both of these gentlemen
regret the occurrence. No blows were
struck. Mr.. Fitch was very angry
and President Thompson very calm,
consequently the latter had the add
vantage, and perhaps the greater share
Of publSc sympathy.
