port

have investigated twenty-five cases, ex-
amined eighty-one witnesses, dismissed
SIX cases, not having found sufficient
evidence to indict, and found twenty
one true bills
We desire to call the attention of the
executive officers in the several dis
tricts that we find considerable ma NJ

who are breeding there animals aud
have failed to take out license. The
proper authorities should be notified
and required to take action in the mat

of the license list given US by the Clerk

doing a general merchandise business
under the above mentioned license and
carrying stock Of considerably over
five hundred dollars, and as we under-
stand it that parties should be compell-
ed to obtain a general merchandise
