Sutton counterfeited the patent head, forged
the signatures of A lonzo Bell, Assistant Secre-

missioner of Patents, and took from the
genuine patent the seal of the Patent Office,
which, together with his original specifca-

that the seal has been removed from the

the Pennsy Society will send delegates
TO the Irish Natioual Convention, TO be held
upon the conclusion Of the session of the
Land League.
President Mooney, of the Irish Land
League, says: ave expect the convention
to be series OF harmonious meetings to
promulgate the principles advocated by
PARCEL. We shall deliberate only for the
interests Of ireland, and our deliberations
shall ee conducted in such a manner as shall
command for us and the cause we represent
the respect and sympathy Of all true Ameri-
cans. We ourselves are American citizsns,
and we shsll do nothing to reflect discredit
on our country. We are anxious 10 do nothing
that will not receive the support and sympa
thy of the public and press. The convention
will simply indorss the plans of the Land
League OF Ireland as embodied in the policy
advocated by Psrneli. 1t will do nothing 10
improve upon or interfere with his ace; it
will not attempt to direct, but simply assist
