It is expected that congress- will adjourn on
august 20 for a recess of one month. There have
been suggestions from time to time of an earlier re-

was taken by the sheriff to the court house, where
he gave bonds for his appearance for trial. In the

ships progress, but on account of his premature ar
rival the new official was entertained informally
until the proper date on the calendar was reached.
