Wool Notes.

The wool market is taking n rest, as
the buyers claim that they cannot pay
the prices asked, and many of them have
already left for the markets on the Texas
and Pacific. Undoubtedly wool has
reached its highest figure for this season,
and from now on the sales will not be
so easily made rs they have been here
tofOre.
A letter from Abilene says that the
wool market has not yet fully opened,
and that the quality will not compare
with that in San Antonio, it being easier
and heavier, and consequently not so de-
sirable. The highest price paid for
wool in this market this spring was ~
cents, for two bags Of very line gilt
edge merino.

find any aJjudicated case In point and
am constrained to believe for the rea-
sons above indicated:
First-That a transfer OF duplicate
bill Of lsding, for value does not carry
with II necessarily the legal title to the
goods and that the purchaser In this case
was put upon notice before he paid for
these goods which should have put him
upon inquiry as TO what deposition had
been made Of the original bill OF ladlng,
and that therefore under the facts OF this
case the plaintiff did not acquire the
legal title to the goods, such ma would
defeat the right OF the oonsignor to stop
the goods whilst the transit. The iudg-
inent is therefore for the defendant with

Over on the Naugatuck rosd some one had

house is a mile away from the railroad. and
the dog never leaves on his errand until he
hears the tram whistle at Beacon Falls Sta

waits at the same spot always
with his nose poked between the panels OF q
fence, and his keen eyes watching for the fy-

was first taught to bring a certain New

to another could not be induced TO carry the
new one. This il unlikely. Another story
is that the late Senator William Brown, of
Waterbury had pet dog that could readily

These letters were written after the battle
of Msrengo had made Napoleon the arbiter
of Europe. and they extend from the year
1877 to the year 1893. at that time the ca
rser Of the French Republic was a matter OF
absorbing political interest, and party lines
in this country were drawn by sympathy
with France or England. General Lafayette
had announced his wish and intention TO
revisit America; but while publicly fayoring
this proposed visit Washington and Hamil-
ton, fearing the tendencies OF Jefferaon, then
q prominent candidate for the Presidency,
and the probability that Lafayette would do
all he could TO secure his election, were
strongly opposed to Lafayettes visit. To
/ prevent the consummation of such g
design they opened and carried on
a correspondence with William Van
| Murray, the American Envoy to the
| Netherlands, who also informally repre-
sented our country with reference to France
/ They urged that every obstacle should be in
terposed to his coming and every possible ex

ism of Washington was unquestionably the
motive that influenced his conduct. These
letters are copied in four volumes, and the
writing IA close, neat and perfectly pre-
