I have tried a number of physicians, out without receiving any perma nent benefit. Among tlic nnmbcr were one or two specialists. The medicine tney applied was like fire to the sore, causing intense pain. I saw a statement in the papers telling what S. S. S. had done for others similarly afilicted. I procured some at once. Before f had used the second bottle the neighbors could notice that my cancer was healing up. My general health had been bad for two or three years—l hau a hacking cougn ana spit blood contin ually. I hzd a severe pain in my breast. After taking six bottles of S. S. S. my cough left me and I grew stouter than I had been for several years.

CARTERSVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, MARCH 3, 1887. BOGUS BILLS. INTERESTING TALK WITH A COUN TERFEIT MONEY EXPERT. Some Accomplishments of Daring Rogues Bad Bills that Defy Detection. Clevelsnl Ledger] James H. Cables, of New York City, an expert in detecting counterfeits coins and bills, carries a stock of peculiar and start ling information. Mr. Cables also has a large collection of counterfeit bills and coins, ranging from ten cent pieces to $ 100 treasury bank notes. Some of the most dangerous counterfeits tbat human ingenuity has ever devised are in the pos session, and he readily points out the de fects which would scarcely be detected by an ordinary handler of money, Charley Ulrich and Thomas Ballard are among the artists represented in his col lection. It will be remembered that Ulrich was at one time an inmate of the Ohio Penitentiary, where he executed an exquisit steel engraving of the late Gov ernor William Allen. Which was used extensively in his last campaign. Ulrich was pardoned iu 1876, r.nd through the influence of some Christian woman he embarked in the engraving business in Columbus. This was too tame for the handsome and dashing Russian, and in less than a year he had a finely executed $5 counterfeit bill on the First National Bank of Tamauqua, Penn., on the market- This was printed by his confederate, Ott. one of the most expert printers in the bus iness. These plates were captured in 1880, but the bills are still in circulation, and are very dangerous. Tom Ballard, who manufactured “queer” for the noted Bess Tweed gang, was sent to the A ban}' penitentiary in 1885 for thirty years, and he is still there. It is thought that, al though be is one of the most expert coun terfeiters in the country, he is not as guil ty as his accomplices, who escaped. A petition signed by all the bankers iu Albany was once sent to the President asking for Ballard’s pardon, but it was refused. Other experts represented in Mr. Cable’s collection are Smith and Brockway, who put the dangerous SIOO of the issue of 1880 on the market. This was an exce lent job and an amateur can not see the deficiencies in their work. The workmanship of some of the paper money is as near perfection as it is pos sible to conceive of In silver money Mr. Cab es is supplied with some very neat coun terfeit work, and some choice productions in gold pieces. Hour people can deliber ately go through the amount of labor and risk which is inyolyed for the small mar gin of accruing profit from bogus gold coin is one ot the mysteries of the inscrut able counterfeiting profession. A coun terfeit $5 gold piece, with its fine milling and a mixture of silver, is on y distin guishable from the genuine coin by a slight unevenness of lettering. It is worth at least $4 00, and will stand the Acid test. The counterfeit $lO and S2O gold pieces are all filled, and are light in weight. Among ihe coins in Mr. Cables’ ,possesion is a $5 gold piece bearing the date of 1844. It is one of the most dan gerous counterfeits in circulation, as it re sists the acid test almost as well as the genuine article. The color is good, but a trifle yellowish. Strange as it may seem, this coin is worth $4.47, only fifty-three cents less than the genuine piece. Among the collection are several Canadian bank notes, which are very ingeniously execut ed, but the lathe-work and paper are not up to the standard. When asked about the United notes and certificates, and how counterfeits of them may be de tected. Mr. Cable explained that all United States notes were printed in sheets of four. The system of lettering] and numbering is such tbat any note number which is not divisable by toar, to correspond with the lettering, betrays a counterfeit. On United States notes, such asgold and silver certificates, the numbers are usually small engraved figures under the check letter representing the number of the plate from which the note is printed. Each plate has us num ber, and the small figures have been prin ted on all notes issued since 1862. The counterfeiters of the first issue of $lO treasury notes which hive been reported are numbered 7, 19, 23, 52, and 53, but no gold certificates have been counterfeited. M ost of the treasury notes issued prior to 1869, printed on plain bank-note paper, have been counterfeited, the fine engrav ing proving no prevention. Since 1869 a special paper, covered by the Wilcox patent, has been in use, the distinctive feature of which is a narrow line of short blue fibre, running the entire length of the sheet, so as to preserve the strength and not mar the printing. Under |the microscope the fibres have the apDearance of coarse black hairs of different length and shape, scattered over the surface, in 1878 another fibre paper, known as the Crane patent, was introduced, and is su perior to any former invention. To show the growth of counterfeiting it is mentioned that since April last seventeen new plates for counterfeit paper money have been made, and the number during 1886 was twenty one. The Garfield $5 bill is a hard cue to counterfeit on ac count of the bank number extending the entire length of the back, yet a spurious note of this series on a Cincinnati bank is in circulation. There is a dangerous counterfeit $lO treasury note on the market, tin plate of which has not been captured. It is poerly engraved, but it is liable to catch the inexperienced. The counterfeiters of silver have not been idle since 1879 a gaug has been manu facturing silver dollars which are worth about twenty-five cents, and which are given to the “sliovers” for fifty cents. They are composed of Babbitt metal with a thin plating, and are of full weight, diameter and thickness, and have a good ring The most dangerous flfty-cent counterfeit in circulation is of the date of 1872, and it is made of tin, antimony and Babbitt metal It is the regulation size, but can be detected by its greasy feeling. Four bogus $5 gold piece have been found in circulation recently They are struck from a die, and are excellent in workman ship. Those of 1862 and and 1860 are of the same weight and thickness as the gen uine article, though they'are nothing but plattum, heavily plated. One date 1881 is considered the most dangerous of this denomination, Its value on analysis is $4.4”; its specific gravity 16. in place of 17 20, and its weight only 3-10 of a grain light, which, making allowance for abra sion, is within the limits of . the genuine article. It bears evidence of having been made by the drop process, stains slightly with acid and is a trifle thicker than the genuine coin Fully as deceptive is a counterfeit of the $5 gold piece of 1882, valued at $4 63, Its read ng, milling, lettering and l ing are all that the counter feiter’s heart could desire, Experts pro nounce it the finest imitation yet turned out. There is another class of people who are almost as dangerous to society as counter feiters, and they are those who secretly advertise to furnish “genuine" bills at an enormous discount. One of these is G, T. Langley, No. 74, Tompkins Market, New York.” He has recently sent out circu lars by mail advertising to furnish sl, $2, $5, $lO, ij 20 and SSO notes, at SSO per SIOOO. Correspondence is entered into and every effort made to capture the mon ey of the man who wants something for nothing Finally a brand new govern ment $1 note is cut in two in the middle, and half of it sent as a sample of the “goods*” The sucker sends on SSO for his supply and that is the last he hears of “Langley.” He has not been rewarded with the old time box of sawdust. Mr. Cables says that Mr. Warren Ii Philips of Ash tabula recently received one of the circu lars, and at once answered it in hope of bringing the swindler to justice Mr. Ca bles exhibited the “sample” which was sent to Mr Philips, The latter did not send the $.50, and tried to gain a clew from the mythical Langley The latter became suspicious and ceased to answer Mr Philips’ guarded queries. The following figures, compiled from the report of James J Brooks, chief of the United States secret service, shows the amount of different classes of counter feit money captured during the year ; Uni ted States Treasury notes, $2792 ; nation al bank notes, sl6 *7 ; silver certificates, $1469; altered notes, $1010; Brazilian notes, $342,696 ; State of Bolivar notes, $200,670; foreign notes, misce laneous, $9-6 80 ; State bank notes, $2856 ; stolen notes, sls ; imitation and fac similes of notes, $1,741,422 75 ; silver coin, $6 911.72; gold coin, $1907 50 ; nickle coin, $180.86 ; copper coin, $29 92 ; foreign gold coin,s2,- 430; foreign silver coin, $67.59 ; geuuine money alleged counterfeit, $4 20 The past year has been pro ific in counterfeit ing both the notes and coins of tbe United States and foreign countries. SPIES AND SCHWAB. A Bare Possibility That the Arch-Anar chists Were Not at the Bomb-Throwing;. Chicago, 111 , Feb. 23. —Lawyer John C. llichberg claims to have discovered cy idence that may prcfve of great impor tance in the anarchists’ trial, During the trial, witnesses swore that that they saw two men supposed to be Spies and Schwab, in an alley at the time of the ex plosion, but the information #btained by Mr. Richberg, substantiated by the affida vits of citizens of Pullman and Kinsington, would go to show that the men who were in the alley were Otto and Carl Blank, alias Anderlc, desperate characters and avowed socialists. The Blanks fled from the city last June, and it was only through the arrest of Carl at Dresden, Saxony, and inquiry here as to bis reputation by Richberg and the German consul that his connection with the Haymarket tragedy was ascertained Mr. Richberg has been pursuing an inves tigation on behalf of the German consul for the purpose of identifying Carl Blank, and on comparing the photographs ot the two brothers he found a striking resem blance between them and August Spies and Schwab in the evening or by gaslight. These men were undoubtedly at ll iymar ket, and Richberg says they must have been taken for Spies and Schwab by the witnesses. FIGHTING A MONOPOLY. The American Cotton Oil Trust is no' such a powerful monopoly as it evidently aimed to be at ihe beginning of the pies ent cotton season. When the cotton seed of the present cotton crop began to appear in the market, the monopoly had secured about 98 per cent, of the cotton seed oil mills of the country, aud had about scared the other 2 per cent, into compliance with its policy. It is alleged that it began the season's business with the avowed object of forcing down the price of cotton seed and of forcing up the price of its own products. This was very good policy for itself but a very bad one for tbe cotton planters. It was so bad for planters that they came to the conclusion that it would’nt do for them at all. They did not see any way, however,-to defeat the scheme of the monopoly. It was plain to them that opposition mills were out of the question. The capital to build them was lacking, and, besides, it would be impossible for them to compete successfully with the monopoly. The planters eyen talked about co-operative mills, and also about combining to with hold their cotton seed fro m the market with the Hea of forcing the monopoly to offer a more reasonable price for it. All of their suggestions, however, were re garded as impracticable, because of the difficulty of securing harmonious action throughout so great an extent of territory. Finally, however, a great many of th* planters came to the conclusion that it would pay them better to use the seed for fertilizing purposes than to sell it to the monopoly on the monopoly's own terms. This conclusion was a wise one, and tbe monopoly soon discovered that to get enough seed to run their mills they would have to pay somewhere near what th seed is worth. Cotton planters are now getting a bet ter price for seed. They have discovered a way to fight the monopoly successfully. They have only to utilize their discovery to secure a fair price for their cotton seed This seed is valuable to them as a ferti lizer, and if they will always use it for fertilizing purposes, when the monopoly reluses to pay what it is worth, they will have the monopoly at their mercy instead of being at the mercy of the rnonopo y. It has been stated that the American Cotton Oil Trust is the Stand ard Oil Company. Whether it is or not, it is a very powerful monopoly, and pursues about the same methods that the Standard Oil Company does. The latter company is reaching out in many direct ions foi ways to profitably employ its sur plus millions. It is said that it is aiming to control the production of the naval stores manufacturers If this be true, tbe manufacturers should be careful that they do not permit themse ves to be drawn wholly within its power.—Savannah News. “Owing to ill-health,” says Bill Nye, “I will sell at my residence in town 29, range 18, west, according to government survey, one crushed-raspberry colored cow, aged six years. She is a good miikster and is not afraid of the cars— or anything else. She is a cow of un daunted courage and gives milk fre quently. To a man who does not fear death iu any form she would be a great boon. She is very, much attached to her home at present, by means of a trace chain, but she will be sold to any one who will agree to treat her right. She is out-fourth shorthorn and three-fourths Jiyenn. Purchaser need not be identi fied. I will also throw in a double-bar relled shotguu which goes with her. In May she generally goes away some where for a week or two and returns with a tall red calf with long, wabbly legs. Her name is Rose, and I would prefer to sell her to ft nou-reeideut.” “Do you know what kind of a light that was referred to in the question, ‘Where was Moses when the light went outV’” asked tbe snake editor. “No,” replied the horse editor, “what kind was it?” “An Isreal-light.”—Pittsburg Chron icle.

LETTER FROM REV. SAM. P. JONES. Mit. Editor: I want to say some things of departed sister Timmons, wife of Rev. B. E L. Timmons. Sometimes we say, when we undertake % task like this, that “we want to write the obituary of a friend,” but because Jesus said, “Whoso ever liveth and believeth in me ahaU never die,” I feel like lam writing of the living She lives to day more truly than she ever lived, for she truly believed in Him who promised eternal life to those who followed Him. I saw her and knew hei as a bride. I have followed, in sympathy and love, Brother Timmons and his consecrated wife wherever the Bishop has assigned them, for more than ten years. She was an ideal wife, a devoted mother, a con secrated Christian. Her life was hid with Christ in God. Few women had so many friends in the social circle thrown about them. She loved her neighbors as herself. Her life was a genial, social one, and in her quiet way, with deep undercurrent of sympathy and kindness, she was ever a benediction in the community where she lived. Brother Timmons is now a member of my family, and I have bad occasion to see the letters of syrapalhy and condo lence which have poured in upon him from all quarters, and the tender and kind words of scores of friends have not only cheered his heart, but they have also shown him how wonderfully Sister Tim mons had won upon their affections and their esteem. One said: “The loss is irreparable *o your children, for now they can never know her genuine worth as a Christian mother—one ever ready to sacrifice self for the sake of her children.” Another said: “No stroke is compar able in force aud poignancy to that which sweeps from our embrace such priuceless virtues when embodied by the wife of our bosom. Gone up in a chariot of fire, your dear companion sings with the angels, ‘Rest sweetly on the bosom of the Sa vior.* Another: “Earth is poorer, but heaven is richer , because she lias left here and gone there.” Another: “My heart is sad when I think of your great loss. Your right hand has been severed. She has fallen, she has risen, and will watch you every step until life’s conflicts are o’er and you shall like wise fall and rise.” An other: “Though I met her but once I was impressed with her sweet tempered Christian spirit.” Another; “I do not know when death so startled and overwhelmed me as when it laid its hand upon my precious Sister Timmons. The absent one is present w'ith the Lord, she is walking and talking with Jesus, whom she loved as she loved no being on earth.” These are but the sincere utterances of only a few of the many. True, Brother Timmons’ loss is irreparable, only as God shall make up to him. She shared his joys, his sorrows, his labors; their hearts had been blended by the light of that Sun of Righteousness, whose rays give unity, and love and peace. Brother Timmons appreciates, and must have our sympathy and prayers. He is leaning upon the promises which are a sure support against despair. Sam. P Jones Cartersvi le, Ga., January 7,1887. EXCEEDINGLY well put. Atlanta Capitol ] Persons seeking localities for success ful investments in business of any kind may get an idea that will be beneficial by examining a recent file of any daily paper having full telegraphic news from all parts of the country and notiug the general tenor of industrial items. The following showing will be found in the headlines of such items, not, of course, in every instance, but as the ruling an nouncements. NORTH AND EAST. SOUTH. “Shut Down.” “Organized.” “Look Out.” “Inaugurated.” “Strike.” “Incorporated.” “Boycott.” “Being Devl’pd.” “Mobbing the Police.’’ “Ca’py increas’d.” “Communism.” “New Furnace.” “Strikers’ Riot.” “New Factories.” “Forbid’n to Assemble.” “New City.” “Socialistic.” “New South.” This parellel consists of headlines in discriminately copied from industrial news items in various exchanges through out the country of recent date, and are more significant than all the argumeut that could possibly be advanced in sup port of the south as offering the best in ducements for investment in manufac turing enterprises. Capitalists, north and east, should study carefully the lesson here taught. EDISOX.AT FORT MYERS. The Climate Proving; Beneficial—At Work on New Inventions. Thomas A. Edison, the greatest of all inventors, now at his Florida homo in Fort Myers, though still feeble is in better spirits. The balmy Florida air is having a soothing effect upon his lungs, and it is hoped that he will soon be bimself again. It was his intention to have come early in the season, and one of his first works was to have been the lighting of the town with electric lights. This plan, it is thought, will not be carried out at present, as he is devoting his entire energy to perfecting and completing various wonderful in ventions. Notwithstanding his feeble health he has prepared to work, if one can judge by the number of odd-looking apparatus aud machines that are arriv ing. It is amusing to see what a wide berth the colored folks give this ma chinery. They wont touch any of it for fear of starting off some ‘‘infernal ma chine.” Edison is now at work on his electrical railway invention, but devotes a portion of bis time to experimenting and work ing on several other queer looking ma chines, the purposes and uses of which the News correspondent has thus far failed to discover. The other day a countryman, who had just read that Edison was at work on an invention to extract all kinds of food direct from the earth, air and water, ac complishing in a few hoars with his ma chine what it took nature years to do, said to the News correspondent : “I’ll be gol darned if I am going to plant any more corn. I’m going to enter into a contract with Edison to work up my ‘dirt’ into food compounds.” LEfT IN DISGUST.

Text of the Bill •• Passed by Both Houses. Washington, Feb. 19.—1n the Senate to-day Mr. Jones, of Nevada, presented the conference report on the trade dollar recoinage bill. After being again discussed the report was agreed to by 49 yeas to 5 nays. The nays were Messrs. Frye, George, Jones, of Arkansas, Morrill and Sherman. The bill now goes to the Presi dent.

Sec. 3. That all laws and parts of laws authorizing the coinage and issuance of United States trade dollars are hereby re pealed. SELF-TORTURE. An Indian Give* a Fee® Exhibition of Hi Grief, i A Sioux Indian in Buffalo Bill’s Wl!d West show that has been in New York several months, Musses by name, which, being interpreted, means Iron, receive*! word the other day of the death of his brother at the Pine Ridge Indian agency in Dakota, Following the customs of the Sioux and ot all the northern Indian tribes, Mussea began to express his grief at his brother’s death by tort iring himself. His object in this was to prove that his af fection for his brother was 30 great that lie would willingly have shared with his brother the pains of the latter’s sickness and death. Mussea whittled several pieces of hickory wood into shapes resem bling that of a common meat skewer Then he stripped himself, made several pairs of deep gashes in different parts of his body and passed the skewers through the gashes nnaer the skin. He put three such skewers in each leg and one in his breast and paraded through the Indian quarters in the Madison Square Garden from 10 o’clock in the morning until noon. Buffalo Bill then persuaded him to take the skewers out. Broncho Bill, the In dian interpreter of the Wild West, told a reporter that the Indians, while on the plains, when in mourning in tuis fashion, were accustomed to hang the lie.il of a buffalo or a cow upon the skewer in the breast, and to leave it there until the flesh was pulled through. Mussea being unable to get a buffalo bead, hung a heavy chain upon his breast. The other Indians lookod on with great admiration while he was undergoing the torture. Mussea retired to bis tepee afterward and entered upon a silent last, which will last for several days. TOBACCO. It is now time hr plant tobacco seed in this section and we trust that all enter prising farmers will give the article a fair test upon the different soils of their land. Seed for this purpose can be obtained free of cost from the State Agricultural De partment upon application to Commis sioner Henderson, by letter or otherwise, the recipient being required merely to make a report of the results obtained by planting. With the seed is furnished, al so, a manual for beginners, which will give all information necessary to the suc cessful culture of the tobacco plant. We are informed by the commissioner that the results reported last year, have pretty well established the fact that the soil of Georgia are well adapt ed to the growth of tobacco, and that the only bar to its profitable culture is a waDt of knowledge or skill among our farmers in preparing it for maraet. This, of course, cm only be gained by experience, but the knowledge is not difficult to ob tain, and the process can easily be learned while cotton is growing. The departmen has on hand, in addition to the tobacco seed, for distribution to the farmers through agricultural clubs and granges a small quantity of other seeds embracing several varieties of cotton, corn, watermelon and peanuts which will do for experiments. Experiments when seed are free are practically costless and the resu t sometimes are very valuable. Every farmer should make an effort to advance his profession and enlarge his pioflts.—Macon Telegraph. GREAT ENTERPRISES. Baltimore Manufacturer’s Record..] The old Etowah Iron property of Geor gia lias at last passed into new hands, and wonderful developments are now prom ised. Many years ago some considerable industrial enterprises were in operation on this property, but with the war there came destruction. After remaining idle for all these years, the entire tract, em bracing some 17,000 acres of land, has, been purchased by an Atlanta company, of which Mr. J. W. Rankin is president. The company proposes to establish some very exiensive enterprises there. It is claimed that they will build four fur naces. a rail mill and other works, prob ably at anew town which they wi 1 found, to be known as Etowah. The old flour ing mill, the reminants of which are still to be seen, and which when in operation, before the war, produced a large quan tity of flour, will, it is said, be rebuilt in the most improved style. This undertaking is, we hope, in good hands. The men who have organized it are well known business men of much w ealth, and we trust they will be able to carry out the great enterprise which they haye planned on such a {urge scale. A MiLUONAIRK OF IUE MINES. Salt Lake Tribune.} A miner in Leadville, Col., who can neither read nor write, is worth to-day at least $3,000,000. Four years ago h hadn’t a penny except what he earned from day to day as a miner. His name is John L. Morrissey . He is a young man, not over 22 or 23. The Crown Point mine, like Tom Bowen’s Golconda, was just about paying expenses. The owners offered to sell her for $40,000. Morrissey went to Chicago and interested Diamond Joe Reynolds in the matter. Reynolds knew that Morrissey was an authority on mining, even if he could not write his own name. He finally purchased Crown Point, agreeing to give Morrissey half in terent after the original sum was repaid. Within thirty days they struck a vein of high class ore that has yielded them a monthly income of SIB,OOO apiece ever since. There is said to be $5,000,000 worth of ore in sight. Morrissey cannot even tell the time of day. It is a stock joke among the boys if you ask Morrissey what o’clock it is for him to pull from his fob a SSOO watch and, with a condesend ing air, tell you to “luk for yerself, and then ye’ll know lan not lying to yez.” $ I.sttPer Annum—sc. a Copy.

Augusta has organized a steambnt company with a capital off to,ooo, for the purpose of constructing steamboats to ply the Savannah river between Augusta and Savannah. The stock is owned entirely by the merchants of Augusta. The Cherokee Manufacturing Company, of Dalton which was destroyed by fire a few years ago, is soon to rise from Us ash es on a grinder scile than ever. The best of machinery is to be purchased, and the factory is to be complete in all its de tails. The good work being done by Sanders - ville'S new Progress is illustrated in a striking way.

Sickness the common fate of all, is ndt regarded as an angel visitant in what ever form it comes. An efficient remedy for a cough, cold, or diseases of throat and luugs can be found iu Cousseu s Honey of Tar, which is known through out our broad laud as the only effectual cure for a ocugli. Mr. Joseph W. Clarke, 6f Newnan, has invented a machine to destroy cotton worms, by wetting the p ants with poison ed water. It works automatically as the vehicle carrying the tank is pulled along between the rows, and is pronounced by those who have seen it in operation a very valuable invention. The ordinary routine of life is often up hill work, and at onr best wo need all our health mid strength to meet our daily trials. No one likes to be relega ted to the circumscribed space of an invalids chair and to a person afflicted with piles, such a remedy as Tabler’s Buckeye Pile Ointment is invaluable. Messrs. Kershaw & Jones, of Macon, re cently sent a block of shares to the amount of $75,000 to a broker in Rich mond, Va., to dispose of them. The broker saw what the shares were worth and took all of them himself and telegraphed for more. This shows what an investment in Georgia manganese and iron is thought of in Richmond. The Savannah, Florida and Western railway offers to build, equip and operate a branch road to either Monticello or Tal lahassee on condition that a road is grad ed to the Georgia line. If Monticello should accept the condition she would have to grade about ten miles of road, and if Tallahassee were to accept it she would be required to grade about twenty-five miles. Down south where playful breezes stray among perpetual flowers, the good people do not enjoy an immunity from coughs, colds and diseases of throat aud lungs, for which they find relief by using Coussens Honey of Tar. This is the family remedy in that section as well as in the North, because of its undoubted virtues as a cough medicine. Just try it.

The shot was too low to result in immediate death; but he was carried home iu great agony, not expecting to live. Our latest news from Nolan is th?t he is doing quite well. A BUSTED BOOM. A pretty legal fight was brought to issue at Birmingham, by the First Na tional Bank’s presentation all around town of a New York draft with certifi cates attached to pay for Easly City land stock, of which something over SOOO,OOO worth was placet! there about a month ago by Mudd A Cos., stock brokers. In pursuance of an agreement of nearly all the subscribers, payment was refused except in a very few cases, aud any further action that may be taken to col lect the money will be resisted in the courts, counsel having already been re tained Concealment and misrepresen tation aa to the extent aud value of the company’s property aud other fakir de vices will be alleged on the part of the subscribe 3 The stock belonged to Col.

Mudd & Cos. The bulk of the stock, which seems to be larger than most of the subscribers understood, aud the impecuuiosifcv of speculators, who were allowed to sign for it, expecting to turn it loose at a profit before pay day came, have broken down the price. It was sold at sixty cents, and just now it is doubtful if live could be got far it.
