Judge by the free use our neighbors

our citizens are beginning to realize
what an invaluable aid has been
extended to them. Some days we

after it is more generally known, the
receipts will doubtless show fair
average, particularly during the
grinding season.

DENVER, COLORADO, APRIL 22nd, 1882.
DR.. B. j. Kendall d Co., Gents: - Four years
ago while in the employ of A. p. Perley & Co.,
Danvers Mass, we had horse that became
spawned during the first year of my stay with
them, and remained so for four years, though
we used every remedy we knew of or could
hear of but of no avail. Some time during the
fifth year, flor l was in their employ between
five and six years., we were recommended to
try Kendalls SPAWN Cure, and after using it
two months the Horse was cured the enlarge
ment having been entirely removed, and thus
beieveing it to be valuable medicine l fully
recommend it to all who have occasion to use
it. Respectfully,

Last Wednesday, we received a
call from Mr., L. o. Fortier, of Bayou
Goula, P. o. Iberville parish, who
informed us that he had brought the
body OF his nephew, L. A. Deblanc,
aged 10 years, son of Zulma Fortier,
and st. Denis Deblanc, from that
parish to the Red Church here, last
Monday for thepurpose ofinterment
He has been obliged to await the
return of our parish priest, who was
not expected home until yesterday.
He feels very much aggrieved in this
matter, as he cannot return until
such a time as the body has had the
rights of the church performed over
it, and feels that an injustice has
been done to himself and family by
the protracted absence ofour parish
priest, the Red. G. 4. Jobard.

THE PRICE nnArrs.
The Deposition OF MIR. Price Taken by n

The Deposition OF MIR. Price Taken by n
Commissioner.
The deposition Of James b. Price was taken
before Commissioner A. G. Bradley Saturday
in the suit of Walsh VS.. Brady for the recovery
of money alleged to have been loaned defend.
ant by plaintiff. The witness identified sun
drypostal drafts amounting in tho aggregate
to $17,500, which were in the custody of
tho keeper of the records of the Postolcc de-
partment. They all bore the Endorsement of
Thomas !. Walsh. On being asked to whom
he had given these drafts he declined to an
swer ON the ground, first, that he did not
think any one had right to pry into his
private affairs aud then he was not certain
his answer might not criminate himself. He
became quite wrought up, and said that ho
had been wrongfully indicted, and that If the
indictment was quashed he might talk out
freely, otherwise he did not feel disposed TO go
into particulars. Ho said that go far as ho
was concerned he would not have testified In
the case at all but for tho request made by
Senator Cockrell (his counseD and Mr.. Ker,
counsel for the government In the star route
cases. He said he did not deliver any of the
drafts to Gen. Brady, and had done nothing
he would not do again tomorrow. He ad-
mitted, however, that he had placed draft
for $500 and $500 in bills in an envelope
addressed to A. II. Brown, mail contractor,
with the request that he Brady see that
Brown received the package.
Price was next asked If II was not fact
that the Brown referred to was the treasurer
of a fund raised by the mail contractors TO
defray the alleged expenses incidental to the
passage of the star route appropriation bill,
and if the payment of the sum inclosed in
the envelope placed by witness OH the desk
Of Brady was not for corrupt purpose
The witness declined answering the question,
and the counsel for the plaintiff asked that
the commissioners certify the same to the
court with view Of compelling the witness
to answer This the commissioner refused to
do, and mado the demand the excuse for a lee
ture, in the course of which he intimated that
he thought he detected the suspicion of an ulte-
rior object in all this proceeding, and that he
could not lend himself to anything not en-
tircly free from such suspicion. Mr.. Price
declared his intention to leave the city on an
evening train and it is believed ho did leave.
Friends of Gen. Brady, commenting on Sat-
urday's proceedings in this case contend that
they were an outrage upon him. They assert
that the testimony has not the slightest bear
ing on the case of Walsh vs. Brady, and that
the only purpose of its introduction is to in
jure the defense in the pending star route
trial

A pANeERous nuNAwAY.
The Spectacle That Excited the Northwest
Section Yesterday.

The coolness Of the driver Of spirited
team which ran away down Massachusetts,
avenue and thence up Sixteenth street yes
terday afternoon alone prevented the destruc-
tion of the carriage and perhaps much more
serious damage. On receipt of the first dis
patch announcing the sudden and serious
turn in tho postmaster generals Illness As
sistant Postmaster General Hatton called u
coupe, and, accompanied by Mr.. Secretary
Lincoln, drove at onco to tho white house.
After brief interview with the President
Mr. Hatton, accompanied by Mr.. Secretary
Chandler, re-entered the coupe and drove to
the house of Mr.. Chandler, who alighted, and
Mr. Hatton drove on toward his own home, at
the Portland. After turning into Four
teenth street the horses, which had previously
been somewhat nettled by the barking OF
a day, become unmanageable and started to
ruu. Mr.. Hatton did not realize his dam
ger until he found himself whirled by his
own door, and saw the carriage wheels mar
rowly miss the piles of building material in
the street just beyond. Seeing then that the
driver had lost control of his horses, he
opened the carriage door, and with one foot
on the step leaned out and called TO the driver
TO turn west, keep In tho street and avoid the
car track on Vermont avenue. The driver
did as directed and dashed away down Massa-
chusetts avenue at terrible rate though the
CdlElhBo hurTOWly ulhbeu DolnB uDSeb Nv
the turn just beyond Scott circle.
A funeral procession was passing, aud the
drivers in the procession seeing the danger,
began to pull out of the way in all directions,
thereby making It impossible for all TO es-
cape. Mr. Hatton again again leaned out and
told the driver to turn up Sixteenth street,
which he did, though ho narrowly escaped
leaving the carriage door on the lamppost and
the occupant Of the carriage along with IL, By
this time two or three thousand people were
watching the flying team, their interest being
heightened by the appearance of another car
riage containing Mr.. John Safely of Iowa, who
was following in anxious pursuit in the vain
effort TO bo ofassistance 60 Mr.. Hatton. Two or
three we'll intontoned people made offers Of
assistance, but were warned not to risk their
lives or limbs, and perhaps increase the
danger by turning the horses toward the
circle. Tho sharp rise in the street as it ap-
proachos tho Boundary soon wore out tho
run aways and they were finally brought up
without injury to anybody or anything Less
coolness and presence Of mind on the part of
tho driver or occupant of tho carriage might
easily have resulted in serious, if not fatal,
consequences TO both themselves and others.

whisky into Canada in less quantities than
100 gallons that no action will be taken by

au,,nr on the Ne.v Tarin- Law.

In reply to letter from the collector at
New York Acting Secretary French says, in
reference to the enforcement of section z of
the new tariff law, that in view of the fact
that the oaths prescribed by section 2Si1 of
the Revised Statutes, to be taken on entries,
have not been modified, but remain in force
until July /, such oaths should continue in
force until that time, and the entries must
correspond thereto. The mere fact, however,
that invoices and entries include non-dutiable
charges does not thereby render such charges
liable TO duty, and in proper cases the duty
should not be levied on the charges and COM
missions when they can be properly ascer-
tanned Where however, an invoice of goods
declares that they have been delivered to the
purchaser on the exporting vessel free Of all
charges to him, the value stated in the in
voice must be taken as that upon which duties
shall be levied provided, of course, that the
appraiser makes no advance thereon.
Goods actually remaining in bonded ware
house or public store when the seventh sec.
ton of the act referred to took effect, may bC
considered as entitled to n readiustment oi
the duty upder said section without regard tC
protest, IL being the duty of the department
and of its officers to enforce the law as enacted
by congress-
The department does not deem ii wise OF
within its authority to enlarge the scope OF
the act so as to extend the provisions OF sec
tion 10 in connection with section z Il
goods not in public store or bonded ware
| house when the act took place, and whicl
were imported prior TO that date.
Goods imported prior TO the act taking
effect and which remained in general orde
store, are TO be considered as in bonded ware
house, and the rule before laid down apple
