disturbing figures in politics should be
eliminated and new and fresh flowers fill
their places in the Democratic vases. =

A SILVER DOLLAR was sent to the New
Orleans mint tn, other day and pro-
nOunced counterfeit. Its weight was
slightly in access of that of the genuine
dollar, and it failed before the acid test,
but in all outward appearance it was an
exact imitation On a more thorough
test being made it was found to be genu.

mood had heavily nickel-plated.

TMRRE has been recently reported from
Carlisle a decision Of considerable interest
to warehousemen. A commission mer-
chant, having given storage receipts to
farmers for grain, sold tho grain, although
tho prioe to be paid the farmers had not
been agreed on, and the storage receipts
had not been taken up. Last spring he
made an assignment for the benefit Of his
creditors, among whom were some of the
farmers holding storage receipts. After
the merchants failure he was indicted for
violating the provision of tho law forbid
ding tho removal of grain for which stor-
age receipts arc still outstanding, and was
pronounced guilty. The penalty is fine
not exceeding $1,000 or imprisonment in
the peniten6ary for not more than five
years, or both. It was urged in vain in
the defendants favor that it is the " COM
mon custom" for the warehousemon of
the Cumberland valley to do precisely as
no did. Judge Rowe pronounced such a
plea invalid.
