CINCINNATI, O., Dec. 4.-The beer
brewers at their meeting to-day were as
founded by receiving communication
from A. Moor Smith, Jr., collector of in
fernal revenue, notifying them that they
must change the size of their beer barrels
TO conform to the law as amended at the
last session of Congress. By that law
ihey are taxed 81 on every barrel of 81
gallons wine measure, which contains 231
cubic inches. Beer barrels now in use
contain 81 gallons beer measure, or 242
cubic inches to the gallon. This makes
n difference of one and half gallons to
The barrel, and involves the cost of chang
ing the size Of the barrels. No action
was taken with reference to the consoli-
dation project.

says: It has been rumored that Mr..

was undoubtedly because Mr.. Biggar
has taken so little part in the recent agi-
fation. DESTROYS of ascertaining from
tue renowned home ruler the true state
OF feeling between himself and the agita-
tor, this correspondent called upon Mr..
.Biggar. In response to questions, Mr..
Biggar expressed himself as being in
complete sympathy with Mr.. Parnell's
agitation. He said that there was no
limit to his belief of the tenant farmers
so opposed to the landlords.
