The per cents purchased to-day were
accepted at 125. This is the first consid-
cradle purchase of 4 per cents for some
time. and the price paid il per cent. above
that heretofore paid under the circular OF

that tire anxiety based on this feature OF

il was only when Sundays Dispatch was re-
ceiyed here Monday, containing his name
and the account of his crime, that suspi-

men after reading the notice watched ms
movements till Monday night, when 1t was

he was the present clerk Of Northampton
