Light Meat Weights.

A crowd was seen this morning In
front Of meat store on King street,
and in the centre Of the crowd was an
excited individual daring the proprie
tor Of the meat store to come out, that
he might trounce him. The excited
man frequently applied the names
"cheat," fraud" and thief" TO the
proprietor. The cause Of this little ex-
citing episode seems to have been this
The excited man coming down King
street saw some very fine oorned beef
lying in q tray. He was Informed that
1t was cents pound, when be went
in and bought 3 pounds, paying 40
cents for the piece. After he had gone
some distance from the store it oc.
Cured to him that his beef was light,
when he went into the store Of an &C
quaintance and had 1t weighed, snd to
his astonishment he found the piece
only weighed 3 pounds.
Going TO another store he had 1t
weighed again " hen 1t drew the same
81 pounds. He then went to the store
where he purchased IL and In no very
courteous manner he demanded that
the meat be taken back as he did not
intend to be cheated. "Hush" said the
proprietor, "the people will hear you"
" don't care II they do" said the
excited man, land II you will just
come outside here, I'll take the worth
of the meat out OF your hide"
BE quiet; we'll make it all right;
you needn't make 30 much noise about
II" said the proprietor.
But the man didn't intend TO be quiet.
The more he talked the madden he got
and he passed out and defied the morti-
lied meat seller to come out that he
might mop up the street with him.
After his anger had spen, its fury TO the
great delight OF the meat seller, he &C
cepted the change handed back TO Linn
and left. Complaints OF the same
character are frequent aoou. the same

The ice-bridge across Back Creek

Those who have ice houses are

Now then. look out for the predic.
tions of the festive ground hog
Last week friend "Greeney," of
Glengary, got things little tangled
in his notice OF the marriage of Mr.
Will Slonakcr and Miss Jennie
Grove. Or perhaps he was little
soured because he didn't have an In
vitation to the reception, where, by
the way,I do not think that his pres
ence was desired. Mr.. S. says that
"Greeney" is entirely mistaken as to
who furnished the eonyeyances to
his wedding, as he pro, ided for the
conveyance Of all parties, himself.
Now, friend "Greeneyn let me give
You a bit of advice. In the future,
be sure of your facts before you send
them to the paper, as everybody
reads the INDEPENDENT, and if you
make mistake, it will be observed.
Give MS the news but give it correct
ly, every time.
The Statesman cannot complain Of
a dearth Of marriages in this section
of the county, for Back Creek Val
ley furnished contracting parties to
at least twenty marriages in 1885,
about one-fifth of all those occurring
in the county. Certainly our full
share. SQUINT.

WASHINGTON, January 1S.-The
Supreme Court of the United States
met to-day and decided that the tax
es imposed on drummers or CONNER
cial travellers, by certain states are
unconstitutional. The case in point
was that of Walling VS.. the State OF
Michigan. Walling was a whiskey
drummer from Chicago, and the
State of Michigan wanted to tax him
5000 for selling his goods in her bor-
ders, the revised statutes of that state
imposing such an assessment on all
who sell goods by sample from other
states.
Walling took his case to the Su-
preme Court of Michigan, and was
directed to pay the tax. He appeal
ed, and the United States Supreme
Court holds that only Congress, by
an inter State commerce law, can au-
thorize O drummers' tax such as was
imposed by Michigan, and which is
on the statutes of number of States.
This decision will, it is believed, null
ify the drummers' taxes in all States

West Virginia Coal.

Mai. Geo. Shut, Of the U. s. Geo
logical Survey, who travelled in a
buggy over 1000 miles, has this to
say in regard to the great coal wealth
of this State:
1T is a safe estimate that over this
area about one-third Of the State)
the workable veins reach six feet; AZ
$50 superficial feet constitute an acre.
A cubic foot Of coal is assumed to be
a bushel, hence, six times that
amount wiz: 6 times 42,560). would
represent the number Of bushels of
coal to the acre. The royalty on coal,
in accessible regions, is one cent per
bushel; but estimating at one fourth
of cent on a bushel, an acre of coal
produces 1858. There are GAO acres
to q square mile, and West Virginia
has certainly 5000 square miles of
coal, making its value on q basis of
one fourth of cent q bushel royalty,
SO, 345, AGO. 900 (viz: 653x640xS, 0OO)."
