of the publication.
The D ote was payable one year after date,
that no liability would accrue, unless the
business OF the paper should prove by Jan
uaTy, 1856, to DO such a success as to justify
the continuance of publication for another
year. This promise Is the only point IN the
case and the thing upOn which the Judge
took the matter under advisement as to
whether the oral testimony of the defendant,
taken in a deposition in New York, should
be accepted TO interpret the meaning OF the
pTOyiso in the note.
In that deposition Mr.. Mcdowell affirmed
that the publication Of the Weekly lngle-
side cost him $4,000 aud left him penniless,

the note In question for that interest.

Adolph Ottinger, railroad tick broker,
was too i'll yesterday to resume his place on
the witness-stand in the case Of tile people
versus Assemblyman ElwOod Bruner. A
physicians certificate was exhibited to the
Judge showing that the chief witness
against the defendant could not leave his
bed. Mr.. Ottinger's nerves had been sub
jected to a severe strain on the previous
Friday when he gave his testimony impli-
eating Bruner in the charge of bribery and
was severely eross-examiEed by Mr.. Patrick
Reddy.
The absence of Mr.. Ottinger compelled
the lawyers to depart from the regular pro-
cedure during the morning and to afterward
request an adjournment until IL o'clock to-
morrow morning. This request Judge COf-
fey readily granted.

Assemblyman Bruner, who wears some
what worried look Notwithstanding his eff
forts to appear uncOncerned, sat behind
Mr Reddy, and conferred with him very
frequently while several of his associates on
the Assembly Judiciary Committee gave
their testimony. These gentlemen were IN
troduced for the defense. out of order, be-
cause it was claimed that it was expensive
to the county and was imposing great

CONGRESS.
House.

WASHINGTON. May 9.-After some un-
important business the house went into
committee of the whole on the river and
harbor bill, the pending amendment be-
ing that of Mr.. Whiting, of Michigan,
who moved to strike out the appropria-
ton for ship channel twenty-one feet
in depth. connecting the waters of the
great lakes between Chicago, Duluth
and Buffalo, and inserting in lieu there
of a provision authorizing the secretary
of war to appoint board of engineers
to whom shall be referred the report OF
Colonel o. NJ Poe upon the subject of
twenty-foot channel from Duluth to
Buffalo throughout the great lakes.
The board shall also report as to the
practicability of raising the water level
of the lakes and connecting harbors by
damming the Niagara river. Mr..
Castle, of Minnesota, defended the pro-
vision for a twenty-OnefOOt channel as
reported by the committee. The amend
ment of the gentlemen from Michigan,
would of course, benefit the elevator
interests of Port Huron, Mr.. Whiting s
home.
At present the deeply laden ships
must stop off at Port Huron and leave a
portion of the freight there to be tran
shipped by rail to another portion of the
lakes.
Mr.. Vincent A Taylor, of Ohio.
thought if the amendment prevailed
the proposed channels in other sections
of the country should also be SO re-
ferred.

The iInportations Of dye from Paris
have fallen off TO nothing, and-appren-
tices in barbering don't have to learn
the business of applying it as they used
to. In this shop we had wooden ball
with a nail hammered in it. to which
we would attach some ordinary rape
tow. Then the apprentice would pitch
in and dye it, and when he could apply
the fluid so that it gave an even color
and didn't stick the hair together like s,
