Calpin, of Sugar Notch, is a citizen of the United States and the bottom at onco foil out of tho quo warranto procoodings to oust him from oflico. It was alleged that Mr. Calpin was not a citizen, but still a British subject, and certilicates wore laid before tho court from tho clerk of the courts and tlie protlionotary to the effect that tho records of their office did not show that Mr. Calpin had over taken out naturalization papers.

As this was sufficient proof that Mr. Calpin is a citizen, tho motion was granted. Anthracite to He Advanced.

Even with this increase, stocks aro smallor than usual at this season, and It is stated tho amount is fully one-half below what it was in 1899. Tho feeling is that actual prices will bo little changed uutli after the summer months. Comments on Our Change.
