This is but a small portion of the cider that
was made in this section of the county.
o-
TIacrc is no charge for showing goods at
Fried's, neither are there cross looks if you
do net buy.

Rcrantox, Penn., Dec. 0. This morning
about 9 o'clock II. O. Silkman and his
Brother-in-law, a Mr. Gardner, entered the
ffice of The Svtnduy Free les. and gave
the editor a severe c-aning, after which they
entered the composing room and upset the
cases, imposing stones, &c., scattering the
type all over the floor. The provocation
was a slanderous attack upon the wife of 3Ir
Silkman in Tlw, Free Press of yesterday,
charging her with having eloped with a mar
Hcl man, a .statement utterly false.

Stamps on Accepted Drafts.
The Journal of Commerce gives some
information of local interest. It says :
A commission merchant in this city
writes us that some of the city banks in
sist that where a sight draft is made upon
him, and he accepts it making it payable
at a bank, two ei nt stamp is required to
cover the latter corporation, as they think
1 such an acceptance converts the draft in
to a bank check. lie wishes to know if
there is any method to satisfy these banks
that such a stamp is wot needed. We
answer that we have already published
lioutwell s own eilK-ial decision on this
poiut. made u any years ago. when he was
Coiniiii.-sioner of Internal Revenue. Ii
is on rage 347 of his t.-fTicial acts. II r
there decides that if a promise is made

for it, that check must be stamped ; but
if the paper thus payable at a: bank is

laccouut. without a check bcin: used.
-then a stamp is not required." "There
