The Jurymen and the Cotin.
Extraordinary Scene at an Inquest.

| Extraordinary Scene at an Inquest.
 The Birmingham Daily Mail reports a ! tragi-comic scene which occurred at the hold. ing of an inquest upon the body of an in. mate of the borough jail who had died from | smallpox: It may not be generally known that a coroner is bound to hold an inquest on the body of any prisoner who may die in one of sher Majesty's prisons, no matter how
 evident the real cause of death may be- The
 statute is of course 8 very necessary one, but yesterday it entailed on the jurymen who had been subpoenaed the not very desirable dutv
 of viewing the body. The deputy coroner lMr. Meekas4 had, from motives which re- quire no explanation, kept the fRct4rom his iurymen till he had got them comfortably aud securely within the court, and then he unfolded it to them. The bare statement
 that they were to hold an inquest, on m small
 pox case was enough four or five of them required no further particularss to make up
 their minds that they would not view the body. No, they would not for all fhs ooro- ners in the kingdom; they did not care what precautions had been taken. Persuasion having failed to convince these obstinate few Mir. Weekes was compelled to read to them. in very Eepulchral and solemn tone the penalties which the law prescribed for such cases. Discontent was not, however, stifned, as was evidenced by the lowering brows and low mutterings of the fourteen good men and true who had been empanelled, and the
 coroner told them he would allow them te smoke, drink or take any other means they
 chose of avoiding the infection. This seemed
 to soothe them, and Sergeant Gosling marched
 bis little army down stairs to their long fune-
 ral vehicle. with the supposition that they
 had all been thoroughly broken in. Going
 down stairs, however, one thirsty soul sug-
 gested they should have the drinks then and
 another, lover of the noxious weed, no
 doubt, took up the hint and talked about ci-
 gars. When they got into the street they
 rushed pell nell for tobacco and liquor. One
 poor teetotaler and non-smoker was in sad
 way. What was he to do ? Brandy and
 soda, said one faeetious colleague. stBlack
 Jack, !" said another. On medicinal grounds.
 this abstemious individual at length brought
 himseH to i1abibe glass of very weak whis- key and water, but he could not brace hinn-

 or courterteited.
 This is especially true of a family medicine, and it is posi- tive proof that the remedy imaitoted is of the highest value.
 As soon as it had been tested and proved by tho whole world that Hop Bitters was the purest, best and most valuable family medicine on earth, many imita- tions sprung up and began to steal the notices in which the press and people of the country had express ed the merits of H. B., and in every way trying to induce suffer- ing inva1ids to use their stuff in- stead, expecting to make money on the credit and good name of H. B.
 Many others started nostrums put up in similar style to H. B., with variously cunningly devised names in which the word "Hop" or " Hops" were used in a way to induce people to believe they were the same as Hop Bitters. All such pretended remedies or cures, no matter what their style or name is, and especially those with the word "Hop" or F'Hops" in their name or in any way connected with them or their name, are imi- tations or counterfeits.
 Beware of them. Touch none of them, but: Use nothing but genuine Hop Bitters, with a bunch or cluster of green Hops on the white label. Trust nothing else. Druggists and dealers are warned against dealing in mutations or cOuntarfeits. fu

were more than usually large, and the ru-
NOR that the late improvement in prices
paid had the effect of causing general
effort to hurry the porkers into Chicago
had somewhat depressing effect.
Under the influence of the liberal re-
ceipts of hogs and lower prices therefor,
the market for hog products ruled weak
during the early | at of the day, and price s
ruled decidedly lower on all leading specu-
lative descriptions. Toward the CLOSE the
feeling was steadier, at the decline sub
mitted to, for trading was not particularly
active, and prices little more favorable
to buyers. Foreign adyices in
Dictated steady feeling in that
were reported Cd higher. Eastern mar
kets were easier in a general way. The
receipts of product were moderate, and
the shipments quite liberal of all kiuds
and widely distributed. The inquiry for
mess pork was moderately active and the
offerings free. Prices declined 10000 but
closed comparatively steady at outside
figures, half of the decline being recovered.
The inquiry for lard was free and the de-
mand moderately active. Prices reached
1O@1219c per 100 pounds, and closed
steady at medium figures. Cash quiet
On call both pork and lard were rather
active and better prices were paid. Most of
the decline was made up before the close of
the day. Live hogs sold 5@10c
lower, the $4,000 receipts making a weak
market.
At the annual meeting of the board of
trade addresses were made by R. w. Dun
ham, the retiring president, j. B. Hobbs,
president elect, and G. L. Hutchinson,
second vice president elect. The annual
report of the board of directors showed
total receipts of $73,417.46; balance on
hand at last report 2,86381; total pay
ments 1882, 973.18; cash in hands of treas
urer $63,3O8.O9. The directors refer to the
bucket shops as stencil in the nostrils of
all good people, and express the belief
that the courts of the county will not sus-
tain their claims. The real estate man
ayers reported that up to Dec. $11O,-
1880 had been paid on the new building
exclusive of what had been paid the archi
tect and managers. The total cost of the
building is estimated not to exceed ST.

The Nickel Plate.

CLEVELAND, o., Jan. 16.-A special dis
patch from New York says W. FL. Wander
bilt caused the Lake Shore Railway COM
pany to issue between $6,000,000 and S.
100000 in bonds to pay for the Nickel
Plate stock he bought, and that when he
proposed this scheme at meeting of the
Lake Shore directors held some time ago
in Erie, because the laws of Ohio and New
York prohibit the consolidation of com
peting lines, Hon. H. B. Payne and Amasa
Stone, of this city, protested and resigned.
These gentlemen were seen to-day and
asked about the truth of the report. Mr..
Payne said he resigned as director of the
Lake Shore last November and his resig-
nation was final. Mr.. Stone said his health
is poor, and he has not attended meetings
of the directors for long time, but if oc-
casion should arise when the directors
have no quorum they have document
authorizing them to put some one in his
place. Both gentlemen declined to give a
reason for resigning, or say anything con-
corning the rumored issue of Lake Shore
bonds to buy the Nickel Plate. They
neither denied nor confirmed the report.
