The hundred dol lars and fifteen costs -which was assise;! him in addition to the fine for the ether offense, the loss of his goo,ls. and the car also which was worth mere than a thousand and a half dollar';, will nearly place his loss for the offense, at the sum of .'2.000.00. a nearly princely salary, or what would be so considered a fhert time since. The business v.-':n!d have to offer pretty fair re muneration to compensate, for such lses and the attendant risks other wise.
