A member of Pennsylvania banking
association, which was not Incorporated,
sold his shares and Withdrew. He had
been conspicuously advertised as a
director, and no notice was given of his
retirement, further than to omit his
name from the published list of officers.
The concern failed. A depositor sued
this ex-director for his claim, on the
ground that the deposit was made in
ignorance of his withdrawal, of which
notification ought to have been given.
The Supreme Court has decided for the
plaintiff. Judge Sterrett says: "Wheie
an ostensible or known member of a
copartnership retires therefrom, and
wishes to shield himself from liability
for further debts of the firm, it is neces
sary that personal notice of his with
drawal be given to all who have had
dealings with the firm, and that notice
be given by publication, or otherwise,
to all others"

We are a wasteful people Our forests are giving out and before long we shall not have enough buffaloes. A western fur buyer says the firm he represents has bought S,GOO buffalo hides during the fall and winter, and he says S3, ,OO0 have been purchased by the buyers at Miles City, Montana, during the past fall and winter, and the number cannot possibly ever be bought again in one season, as they have been slaughtered by the whole sale. The gentleman says the buffaloes are becoming extinct at rapid rate, and gives it as his opinion that of the SO,O killed near slaughtered for their hides alone. Although the law of Montana prohibits the killing of bufaloes for their hides only, this wholesale slaughter continues, and to those on the ex- treme frontier is quite source of revenue as the hides have brought this season from $2 25 to g. 75 each.
 They are fighting compulsory pilotage in England as well as in this country. A bill suppressing compulsory pilotage has been of- fered in the House of Commons, and will be pressed by the government. As might have been expected, it is receiving the unanimous support of the steamship companies plying the river Thames, to which the bill specially applies The representatives of these com panies fully agree in declaring the impor- Thames for vessels which require pilots.

They only demand that the pilotage should not be made compulsory. If the pilotage were free the masters of vessels could obtain all the assistance they want from pilots at a rate much cheaper than that now charged by law. They ask only for free trade in pilot age in waters every inch of which is perfect ly we'll known to the habitual navigator If they succeed, as it now seems probable they will, their victory will encourage those who are struggling against the same abuse on this side of the water.
 Prof. J. Hyatt has been engaged for long time in studying the relations between the phases of the moon and the rainfall at cer- tain stations, and we find his conclusions summarized in. the New York Times, Prof. Hyatt's observations have led him to divide the lunar month, of about 294 days, into eight periods, or octants. of 2-3 days each, and he has found that every lunation is apt to acquire it's character as regards rainfall within the first octant, or within 2-3 days from the time of the new moon. It also ap- pears that the same kind of weather, as re- gards temperature, cloudiness or rain, is apt to occur on or about the same day of the week, or, more accurately, at the same stage in the lunar quarters. A number of in stances are given, extending over consider able period of time, which seem to bear, out the truth of these conclusions with remark able accuracy, and it would seem that if 71O of an inch or more of rain falls within 2-3 days of the new moon the entire lunation is very likely to be wet one; but if very little rain falls during that time, the remaining seven-eighths of the lunation will probably be dry. These observations verify the old saying that the first three days rule the month. As result of observations conduct ed at two localities, extending over @ period of three years, the rule has been found to hold good in at least eleven cases out of twelve, and they would doubtless hold good for all places in the hilly country between the Appalachians and the Atlantic, not too near either the sea or the mountains. Such conclusions are only reliable for places simi-' larly situated, since peculiarities of location, elevation, the prevailing direction of the wind, etc., necessarily affect the result, and these characteristics must be studied for each place. The distribution of rainfall is very irregular throughout the year two or three dry, or two or three wet, lunations are apt to be grouped together.

Melancholy tales are told concerning the effects of the severe winter in the northwest ern States and Territories representative of the Chicago IInses who has just returned from tour through the cattle ranges lying between the Missouri river and the Rocky mountains, reports that the winter in that sec tion has been the severest ever experienced, and that the loss of cattle will exceed 400, ,OGO head, valued at from $S, ,O00, ,O00 to SIC, ,O0O,- GOO. He says: The death rate among the cattle in that tract, which is embraced within lines extending north and south through Sid ney and North Platte, towns on the Union Pacific railroad, in Nebraska, 125 miles apart. is, in all probability, larger than anywhere else in the entire grazing country. The cat tie men have designated this and the dry belt in Colorado as the s'burnt districts" The Nebraska burnt district is 200 miles one way by 125 miles across on the south, and 175 on the north. There is an immense number of cattle in this area-a half million or more. Thousands of dead cattle cover the ground between Sidney and North Platte, within sight of the railroad track. Many of them have. been killed by the cars, but by far the larger number died of cold and starvation. They were massed between the two forks of the Platte which come together at North Platte, and the suffer- ing of the poor brutes is said by those who saw them to have been frightful They filed the air with their cries of agony, and wandered about until so weak that when they laid down to rest they could not get up again. Nothing could be done for their re- lief. It would have been hopeless task to try to feed them. A thousand tons of hay would not have gone around. The poor things, overcome by the cold, could not be driven back on the snowy ranges. They re- sisted force by sullen refusal to budge, pre- ferring to remain where they were and die than to move. They devoured every vestige of grass that could be seen, and even chewed the hair on their tails. The scenes that were witnessed by the settlers are described as heartrending The losses in other districts, though not so heavy, are very severe. It is feared that when spring shall have opened up the country the inhabitants of some isolated settlements and many hapless pio- neers will be found to have perished, and also that much desolation will be caused by q

President Garfield, it is said, has informed one of his friends that he does not intend to make general removals among officers who are now performing satisfactory service. He said further that whoever came to Washington as an office seeker looking for the removal of an officer against whom there were no charges of inefficiency or neglect would come to no purpose This will be very depressing to those who want office, but it will please faithful officers and those who want to see the civil service improved.

had to do with the matter.
Bangs-You had a conversation with
Strahan about his appointment as mar
shal.
Davenport:-Yes. sir
Bangs.-Was it by authority OF the Ere
sident?
Davenport-It was not; it was my own
opinion that Strahan could have the place
if he would take it.
Bangs-Are you at liberty to state con-
versation you had with the President
about the United States Senatorial con
test?
Answer am.

perjury and conspiracy and sall within the
Republican party. The declaration of the
counsel to sum up is variously commented
on. While some think it would be an un-
necessary waste of time, others believe it
would add to the scandal, which has reach
ed sufficient proportions.
1t is rumored that Speaker Sharpe refus-
es to obey the summons of the District At
torney General of this county to appear
before the Grand Jury and give testimony
in the alleged bribery case, postponed one
week by the Grand Jury. The District
Attorney, it is said, will exercise his au-
thority and force the Speaker to appear.
There was an exciting scene in the Della
van House to-day. Senator Madden met
Conkling in the upper halls and extended
his hand, which Conkling refused to ac-
cept. A bitter war of words followed,
Madden answering in severe terms the sar-
castle language of Conkling.

WASHINGTON NEWS

WASHINGTON, Juae 24.-It is stated that
important changes in head officials of the
Interior department are pending and that
Commissioner of Patents Marble will be
made Assistant Secretary of the Interior
vice Bell.
Congressman Yeate Of North Caro-
line says the Democracy is divided on
the temperance question as well as Repub
1icans and politics are badly mixed up
there.
The rival observatory says the comet
will not be seen early because of following
in the suns track.
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 23.-
Lewis, of Virginia, claims to be still the
chairman of the Republican state central
committee of Virginia. The coalitionists
claim that the legal meeting of the COM
mittee is on the 2Sth, and that the places
of the straight-outs on committee viii be
filled by Coalitionists. Senator Dawes has
written a letter. earnestly advising cooper
alton, and others have done the same.
Wickham and the straight-outs have the
majority and will not recognize Lewis. On
the 2Sth Lewis will call the committee at
some other place. Senator Malone still
controls the postoffice appointments in
small towns.
Gen. Brady wrote the letter presented
by his counsel accusing the Government
detectives of filling the press with false
reports, knowing that their being Govern
ment agents shielded them from libel. Col.
Cook, in reply, referred to certain Wash
ington newspapers as reported organs OF
the star route ring and of the purchase of
such papers by the rings. Brady wanted
the privilege to examine the records of the
postoffice department. Cook replied that
Bradley need not pretend ignorance of
these records after controlling them three
wears Where the matter was before Con
gress he showed entire familiarity with 1t,
He could not hove them to make up his
desense.
Brady's protest against the postponement
of the Star route cases until September and
his request that the criminal court instruct
the Grand Jury to Immediately investigate
the charges against him, were made for
effect only. Brady and his attorneys knew
very well that the court would not hasten
the cases. The move was made for the
purpose of making prominent the fact that
the government is not ready now to pro-
coed with the cases. The act of postpOn-
ing the cases is claimed by Brady and
friends as proof that all efforts Of the gov
eminent to collect evidence have failed,
and that there is nothing in the way of
testimony to be laid before the grand jury.
Judge Cox had determined before the ques-
ton OF prosecuting the star route ring was
raised, to leave Washington on his summer
vacation early in July. He had made his
arrangements to leave, and it was useless, |
even if any star route cases were read, to
have the grand jury to begin the investiga-
ton and then stop it in few days There
is nothing whatever significant in the post
ponement of these cases. 1t can be stated
that the government has the evidence in
good shape, and it viii be laid before the
grand jury as soon as the court meets IN
