A Good Record.

From Virginia City Chronicle, March 30
The Virginia branch of the well known
dry goods house of 5. Lipman & Co., will
close this evening at 10 o'clock to the public
forever. No house in Virginia City can
boast of such an excellent reputation as the
above firm, which has been but the reward
OF long and useful career extending over
period Of fourteen years. But for the re-
tirement OF Mr.. AID. Wolf formerly resident
partner here to take charge OF the Portland
branch, the firm OF 5. Lipman & Co. would
still continue its brilliant career in Virginia
City.
The stock OF this branch has been shipped
to the Portland house and will be disposed
Of at great sacrifice. See advertisement in
another column.

Judge Sawyer of the Z. S. Circuit
Court in Oregon has sustained the de-
cision of District Judge Deadly grant
ing preliminary injunction in the
case of Hatch and Lowns,lale vs. Will
lamette River Iron Bridge Co., and de-
MED the continuance of work under
bonds, which opinion practically kills,
for the present at least, all prospects
of bridge across the Willamette at
Portland. Judge Sawyer held that
the construction of any bridge at the
contemplated point would prove an
obstruction to the river and harbor.

In trial just had at New Tacoma,
Judge Greene decided that a note stip-
ulating for the payment of compound
interest in the case of default could not
be enforced so far as interest on inter-
est was concerned. 1t is only in cases
where the promise to pay compound
interest is made after the interest has
accrued and when there is sufficient
consideration to support such prom
Use, that the SAME can be enforced.

The boys in Oshkosh may be happy
yet, as a Milwaukee dispatch states
that in a test case to determine the le-
gality of the celebrated anti-treating
law of Wisconsin, it was found that
the law was imperative because of an
error in the text. The bill as drawn
specified the repeal of an old law, but
was dropped when the state statutes
underwent their recent revision.
Judge Mallory held the law to be in
operative and void.
