Mr.. Oscar Turner, of Kentuck,


has introduced bill to abolish all
tarlir duties on printing types,
trace-chains and agricultural imple-
ments. The present duty on print
ing types il twenty-five per cent
sd valorem. This is not n revenue
duty, tor no type to speak of are
imported. II is u prohibitory duty,
and there is no reason to believe
that ii is needed for the protection
of American typo-iounders. If the
duty were removed, they would
probably be able TO hold their own,
rs the quinine manufacturers have
done since the abolition of the duty
on That drug. All they need in the
way of protection is the abolition
Of the duty on type metal, SO that
they will be on an equal footing
with their foreign competitors in the
purchase of their material.
The duty on tracc-chains is two
and one half cents per pound, or
Just double the specific duty ON
steel rails. If this duty were reduced
one-half or even more, American
producers probably would not suf-
fer greatly. Tho entire abolition Of
tho duty, however, would hardly
be regarded as fair, SO long ms ex-
listing duties on other manufactures
of iron are retained. The propo.
sition TO abolish this duty will, o.
course, be resisted by the entir,
iron interest M M attack on tn,

interested. There is not the leas
probability that Mr., Turner vii

Dear Sirs-I expect tremendous snow
falls as far to the southwark as Washing
ton, D. c., and westward beyond Chicago,
toward the end Of December and New
Years and again in proximity to the 9Th
and 9th of January.
Very wintry weather, with snow, her Q
this week. Yours truly,
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. q, 1880.
Gentlemen: Since the current
year is the commencement of a period Of
more than unusual disturbances, which
will not attain its maximum until the end
of 1882. therefore my opinion is that the
coming winter will be characterized by
great and sudden changes in atmospheric
pressure, and consequently by heavy pre-
cipitation-that, is heavy rains in the South
and heavy SHOWS in the North, with gen.
orally extreme low temperature.
Yours truly,

By reference to our report of the Staun-

that -four and wheat hare taken sudden
start upward. Tie rise in wheat com
menced in New York Monday, and is at.
tributed to the blockade of the Erie canal
by ice, which throws the grain on the rail-
roads for transportation at an increase Of 8
cents per bushel in the rate Of carriage-
This obstruction may be temporary but we
see that In Baltimore Wednesday the adj
vance in prices was nearly mainta ned, and
that wheat which jumped from l,224 to
$1,253 Monday was still up to $l244.

A KISS THAT CoST FIFTY DOLLARS
A rather remarkable kissing case was dis
posed of at Kingston, N. c., on Thurs
day. S. G. Spence, well-to-do and intel
ligent merchant, was sentenced to thirty
days. imprisonment in Jail by magis-
trate's court for an attempt to kiss Mrs.
M. E. Waller. q lady highly connected.
Spence's counsel took an appeal to the Su-
perior Court Of the county. Thursday the
case was submitted to the jury, who re-
turned a verdict of guilty, and Judge Gud
ger re-affirmed the thirty days imprison-
ment, but afterwards changed the penalty
to fine of $50. The court expressed sin
cere regret that the law limited the punish
ment. as it was satisfied that the offense
merited a much heavier entence.-Phila'
