The professional dead beat has no chance now in free Amevica. Under the old law. when a creditor levied on goods that were alleged to be the prop erty of the wife of the debtor, the credi tor, if he wished to dispute the declared insolvency of the debtor, was compelled to file a bond to indemnify the sheriff for any damages tiefore that official could go ahead with the sale. Now the burd en is shifted the other way. When a debtor sets nn that his wife is the owner of the goods levied on, the new law re quires that the alleged owner shall pay costs to the sheriff amounting to $-1. j The sheriff then must file the caee in court, where an issue is framed and the debtor is required to enter bond in the sum of double the amount of the claim to seenre the creditor. Then the case comes up for determination by a jury as in any other suit at law. Ex. The Pittsburg police have sent out circular letters asking for the arrest and detention of Mrs Mary George Farsan and Charles Sarkes.

At present the vines in his l>ed. which is al»>nt feet square, are standing from 5 to i> feet high. and are full of larj;e. preen toma toes. He was in the Pine Tract last Mon day morning, and it snowed there, so he hurried home, and bought 150 yards of muslin, a lot of pine si rips. wire, etc, tv>k them to his lot on Bluff St.. and went to work—and the result is a which has saved his tomatoes from ; ruin by the late frosts and freezing, the ] ' entire cost not exceeding sl2.
