The marriage license bill, reducing the mar riage license from $1.50 to I 0 cents, has been vetoed by tbe Governor of 3 raryland.

Among the reasons given by Eim is he present condition of tlie trersury and that the bill reduces receipts from taxation, whic the present current expenses will not allow, unless! some other source of revenue is imtitul ed. fie said he fully sympathized with those who desired the passage of the bill for the be nefit of the poorer classes ol the community, bet that if anyone felt themselves unable to pay tax they could easily receive exemption rom any tax by utilizing the provisions of the existing law relating to the publication of the banns of matrimony. As the veto as by a vote of 11 to 13 there little livelihood of anything eiae being said on the (subject for sometime to come. Another Swindle. Despite the warnings the ewspaperS Lave given, it would seem that roving sharpers will ever find victims in this glorious climate of ours.

The Waynesboro Jie ord jells as follows how Mr. John Kriner, of near Leiters-burg, was victimized, a coup of jveeki ago: A couple of men called at his bouse with a quantity of goods, patterns lor garments generally, which they insisted or gelling him. He had no use for the goods and of course refused to buy. They finally asked permission to leave the goods in care of Mfs. Kriner.

She consented to take charge of them intil called tor. Before leaving they sai( they jwould take a few lines in writing stating fact that the goods had been left in the familys Care, which Mr. Kriner signed. It since turned out that he signed a note for $UK), which the villianj sold to a Hagerstown broker. Mr.

Kriner has taken np the bogus note, knd nlow wants a purchaser for the goods at, we presume most any price. Pork Packing in the West. The annual report on pork packing in the west, compiled by Charles B. Murray, editor of of the Cincinnati Pi ice Current shows an entire winter packing of 5,402,064 h(gs, against 6,132,212 last year. The average height was 251 44-100 ponnds, a decrease of 15 58-100 pounds as compared with lijfit year.

There was a decrease in the yield of lard per hog of 2 18-100 pounds. The pork production shows 272,858 pounds less than last pear. The stocks of meat in the west, including pork in barrels, were 113,000,000 pounds less than year ago. The exports since Novembejr 1 were pounds loss than a year agp, and pounds less than the averpge of the seven previous years. It is reported tbjit the outlook for hog Supplies indicates about fifteen per cent shortage for the summer.

The Price Current concludes that it is possiblq that there may be a falling off of 500,000, but thinks it more likely to be much less. The total packing for the twelve months ending March 1 vu 9,183,100, against 9,342,909 fopthe proceeding year. 1 A CHANCE (TO SECURE A BARGAIN. will remove their place ot basineas the early part of April, and they hive a large lot of Buggies and Carriages op hand such as 10 Dexter springs 10 Brewster side bars and 40 end sprihg buggies, all new and will i offer them at a bargain to save removing them to the new shop.
