And very frequently not near that
amount. Where the net receipts ran
below $6,000, the inouubent is the
loser, and where the receipt exceed that
amont, the excess, less the neoessary ex
penses of the Department, is required
to be turned over to the Government.
The only extra, outside of this, allowed
the District Attorney, is a fee of two
per cent, of the gross receipts accruing
from the Bales of a certain class of
leisures. The revenues from this souroe
fanes from $1,000 to $1,800 per annum,
the latter being the outside figure. It
will be seen, therefore, that the office is
not nearly so profitable as the private

New Brunswick, a laborer in the em

baugh run (in the lower part of the

slide. His left arm was crushed in a
fearful manner, and was ouly attached
at the elbow-joint by a narrow Strip of
skin and a few blood-vessels. II is left
leg was broken midway between the
knee and ankle, while his riht thigh
and nip were terribly torn, the skin be
ing detached as far as the hand could
reach in all directions from the cavity
torn open. On Thursday, Drs. Reese
and Smith, amputated the arm just be
low the shoulder-joint, but all the skill
of the surgeons did not avail for he
died on Friday evening. In addition
to his mangled limbs there was marked
evidence of injuries of the lower part of
the abdomen and back. The deceased
was a young man of good habits, and
had a mother and sister dependent on
him for support. Much ciedit is due

Court. A Mr. McFerrcn sued ihe Mont

declared that in consequence of the division
the farm would bring much less money
than it had been worth in the general mar

Philadelphia. February 25. Tbe

body, the connecting tissue being con

were removed from the bodies and
plaoed on the table they formed one
mass. It will be remembered that

liver was removed, an upper hepatic
punon was isvnd also preceedina; from

however, an upper hepatic punch was
