On the subect of his catch, the Judge has sworn with great care and with much more moderation than some who suppose they have passed into the state of sanctification. Attorney General Ellis has decided, in response to an inquiry rom the state treasurer, that merchants who go about the country in wagons exchanging goods from their store for farm produce come under Section 1,263 f HowelPs statutes, which provides that no merchant shall peddle goods not his own manufacture without a license.

If it shall come to pass that the republicans of the Jackson and Washtenaw senatorial district shall lay hold on the lappel of the coat of N. D. Corbin, of this city, and insist on his nomination to the senatorship, it is learned that then and in that case, the said Corbin will not execute the "Joseph in Egypt" act and suffer his clothes to be torn off, rather than yield.
