A COPY of the new Tariff Act of the United
States, which has been published by the NstO
York Journal of Commerce, has been obliging-
ly placed at our disposal, and we reprint from
it the Sugar Schedule which is, Of course,
the part that interests us in this sugar-produc-
ing colony. AS the corresponding paragraphs
of the old law (the Mckinley bjlD are printed
below those Of the new, the changes which the
new law introducos are made very plain. 1t
will be seen that the higher grades of sugar
have a tax Of one-eighth of a cent per pound
placed upon them in addition to the Forty per
cent ad valorem placed on sugar in general This
difference is doubtless in favour of the home
rsfnels, but can make no practical difference
to West Indian growers.
The item of principal interest to us is
doubtless tho abolition Of the bounty paid
on home grown sugar 1t is true that the
loss to The home growers is to some extent
made up by the duty imposed on imported
sugars, which must cause an equivalent rise
in the price Of sugar sold within the Union ;
but it is not entirely made up and the rapid
extension of the raising of beetand cane sugars
under the bounty system will no doubt receive
a check now that the bounty is abolished.
This is an evil no doubt for sugar producers
within the Union, but so far as it may make
any difference to outsiders, the difference will
be in their favour.

On Saturday evening several of our
young men went to South Heberton for
an evenings enjoyment and later in the
night when the pleasure began waning
they became engaged in quarrel Of
some kind in a noted resort at that place
which resulted in AL Seitz, a resident of
this place, being shot. There are many
versions of the affair, but Mr., Seitz says
he was in no way implicated in the
brawl, and will enter suit against the
party who shot him as soon as he is able
to be around again. The bullet entered
the left side from back to breast close to
the ribs and the wound is not consider
ed dangerous.

Attorney James i. Lenahan, of
Wilkes Barre, who has been in New
York for some months, having several
operations performed for an abcess in
his face near the cheek bcne, has re-
Gently undergone the most serious of all.
He said all along that he had no pain in
the spot and the physicians thought this
suspicious, and upon making closer ex-
animation discovered that a large por-
tion of the cheek bone was dead and
decaying.
Had it been allowed to remain much
longer in that condition it would have
killed him, so an operation was decided
upon. His face was cut open from the
temple around the eye, down along side
of the nose and through the middle of
the upper lip; then the flesh was laid
back and the. decayed portion of the
bone removed. In its place was put a
silver plate, the flesh laid over this and
then sewed up.
The patient is slowly recovering from
the operation, and the physicians think
it will prove a success.
