Show A A'alcaiji.k Commodity. We never had any conception of the money value of whisky until yesterday. If you want to have the full figure marked against a commodity, just get a legal gentleman to expatiate on its excellent qualities iu court. We are reminded of the innocent individual who was being tried for sheep stealing, having been caught with the corpus of mutton on his shoulder. When his attorney got through pleading for him, the briney dew was standing in his eyes as he exclaimed, "I never knew how much of an ill-treated gentleman 1 was before!" The price, of whisky was run up yesterday in the District Court "orfully" high. |
