PATENT AGENTS Prorest—They Don't Like the New License Law of the lature —A meet- ing of patent agents was held on Saturday, to corsider whether some measures cannot be de- vised to relieve themselves of the license tax Smposed by the Legislative Assembly. Mr.J. J. ‘Coombs was called to preside, and W. C. McIntire acted as secretary. Mr. A. M. Stout read a statement that the law is in violation of“principles of justice, because it fails to impose any tax upon practicing lawyers Siatm agents, while the tax tmponed wou patent claim agents, while the upon patent Attorneys is twenty-five dollars. ‘The patent attorneys rely upon the act being dec! in- ‘valid and void by the courts, on the that patent agents are a part of the instrumentalities ‘of carrying on the business of one of the execu- tive departments of the general government, and that to levy atax upon them, and at the fame time Impose a fine for its non-payment, might be a serious interference with busi- ness of the Patent Office, which was established to protect and encourage inventors. This opin- jen they base upon the 1act that the Legislative Assembly is merely a munici corporation, with quite limited powers, and that it was not the intention of Congress t> confer upon such corperation the power to embarrass the ope tions of The departments of the general govern- ment. It was determined to effect a regular organiza- tion until their object is accomplished, and to raise funds to employ counsel ts conduct the litigation for the association. —- houser in the “Div Boanrp or Heatta—C. & 0.

The sys- | tem of open markets carried on in substantially built sheds, located along the center of the | streets, which Philadelphia, under the applause | of the whole country, has unqaalified!y c demned, still holds its ground to @ large degree. | The new Belair and Lexington markets are specimens, and the citizens appear to be proud ol them. In describing THE LEXINGTON the system is blocked out. This market is built on tour rows of columns, spanning a width of fifty-eight feet. The two central ones form the main roof, twenty-eight feet im width. The main roof projects @ small distance over lean- tos to both sides, 0 as to form a sort of a venti- lator, with a single wide slat as a fixture. These roofs are covered in with sheet-iron, without any sheathing, which causes during raius a most Ghagrecable holse, as was attesied by an impro- ig under the auspices of the iil be held in Lincoin Hall, Y. , to-morrow evening, on ‘the social evil question.
